Reply #13: RNC: Why don't Dems decry 'Occupy' anti-Semitism?

"The Republican National Committee attacked Democrats on Wednesday for staying silent about “extreme anti-Semitic, anti-Israel comments” reported at the Occupy Wall Street protests.

RNC communications director Sean Spicer blasted top Democrats for voicing their support for the demonstrations even as some of the protesters make “anti-Semitic, anti-Israel comments,” according to a memo first reported in “Morning Score” on Wednesday.

Spicer pointed to President Barack Obama, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Steve Israel for turning a “blind eye” to the language used by some individuals at Occupy Wall Street.

“Where’s the outrage?” Spicer wrote.

“Is Steve Israel standing with those calling for the killing of Jews? Does Debbie Wasserman Schultz agree with the various calls for Jews to be ‘run out of this country’ and to oppose and ‘destroy’ the state of Israel?” he added in the memo.

In the memo, Spicer linked to three different videos documenting the comments he referred to. In one from the conservative group Emergency Committee for Israel called “Hate at Occupy Wall Street,” several demonstrators are shown making comments such as “Jews control Wall Street” and “You can’t even speak English? You Israeli? Go back to Israel.” A sign saying “Hitler’s Bankers Wall Street” also appears in the clip."
