In reply to the discussion: Is it anti-semitic to say a Jewish senator represents Israel? [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)35. The man is retired
I don't like him for a multitude of reasons that have to do with his positions and conflicts of interests during the health care debates.
What is your point with this shit-stirring thread? Oh, I get it. Joe has retired and now we can claim that everyone that disliked him secretly did so because liberals hate Jewish people.
That is what this smells like to me. And I'm going to stop stirring in this pile of shit, because it will just make it stink more.
The man is gone. Get over it. He RETIRED.

Yes, it is anti-semitic. If one thinks they put Israels interests first, say so. Dont say they are
