/p> p>The brothers Emanuel's outrage is all show. If Mel's drunken diatribe is so intolerable to them why aren't they offended by the sober anti-Semitism of America's Joseph Goebbels -- Michael Moore? Could it be because Ari represents Moore in Hollywood? When is Rahm going to condemn Hezbollah loving John Dingle and demand he and the other terrorist loving anti-Semite Democrats resign their seats in Congress? For that matter when are they going to make an ad thanking President Bush for reversing the anti-Semitic attitudes of the Carter and Clinton administrations? If Rahm and Ari took their "partisan sheets" off they'd see the majority of anti-Semites aren't alcoholic actors, but the base of their party (Democrats). br> -- Michael Tomlinson br> Crownsville, Maryland /p>

Excellent article.

Many loyal Democrats and sadly many Jews seem to have forgotten that their Icon: Franklin D. Roosevelt in a particularly cynical move did not want to upset voters by allowing a boat from Europe that was filled with Jewish families to dock in America and thus escape Hitler's death machine.

Fearing a reputation for "favoritism" from the press and voters rather than doing the humane thing Roosevelt failed to intervene and in effect sent that boat back to the European port for which it came, sentencing many Jews and their children to certain death and persecution.

How do I know this? Why I saw it on PBS!
