Town Halls and Bigots

By Robert M. Goldberg on 8.19.09 @ 3:34PM

Regarding the effort to smear people who attend town hall health care meetings as anti-Semites: Have these people forgotten how MoveOn and DailyKos provided a safe haven for anti-Semites during the Lebanon war in 2006 and beyond? Here are my articles to refresh their memory.

They have failed to clean up their cesspool. Instead they seek out LaRouchite and far Right, unmedicated kooks and to run a viral smear campaign.

Oh, and let's not forget how Team Obama managed to house Tony McPeak, whose classic "Jewish lobby perspective" was rewarded with a top campaign position. AmSpec broke that story and Team O been walking back those comments ever since.
