    This is truly mind-boggling, but interesting.

    In Germany, leftist extremists and right-wing extremists are united with Islamists in their Israel and Jew hate.

    It seems to not make sense...but it does.

    The weird thing is: Extremists on the left and right end of the spectrum are closer to each other than they are to moderates in the middle.

    Actually, the leftist German party "Die Linke" is currently torn between open anti-semitism and people who say...wait a second...are we actually supporting the guys who want to kill gays, lesbians, subjugate women and are pro-war (Hamas).

    Unfortunately, only a few on the far left realize the error of their ways.

    Most fall into the trap of being anti-Israel and being anti-semitic by default.

    What a strange take you have. Please show me a list of progressives that support the mistreatment of women, stoning gays, and killing people who have a different religion.

    No reason the debate about this conflict should run along American political lines.

    ==supporting Hamas.

    LOL

    I'm also noting the easy switch to categorizing millions of people as very broad blocs, unable to think of even one shade of subtle difference, or one subtle line of argumentation they could be employing---and from Commodore, the always amusing "white persecution" syndrome.

    I could boot up this script, and it'd have about the same kind of sophistication.

    theclutchfansddbot.py

    import random

    listofarguments = ["Liberals support Hamas", "Liberals support terrorists", "Liberals are pure evil."]
    print(random.choice(listofarguments))

    Ok I'll bite. I agree that it seems so shocking because Gremany always LOVED Jews.

    And you are inarticulate. Most young people don't vote if they can unless Obama is on the ballot.

    Did not read. Please post other thread. Your link is off topic.

    Too bad Israel doesn't have a president. Uneducated.

    Not worried about it. Repugs will take back Senate and Presidency.

    Is Repugs short for Repugnant? I like it. Nice job bobbymar.

    If the Repugnants do take over the a Senate you'll need to familiarize with the word fillibuster. See how you like ereything being filibustered. It's going to be very entertaining watching Repugnants claim the sky is falling when the Democrats break your record for filibusters. I'm going to enjoy the crying and histrionics about Democrats hate America and how they're traitors for doing the same thing the Repugnants have done.

    I have always called Republicans, Repugs, and Democrats, Libs/Demos.

    List of Presidents of Israel

    Clearly you're a younger, less educated, less informed Republican. :grin:

    I stand corrected. Perry would be a great fit, he could ride around in IDF helicopter manning the .50 cal :grin:

    Ha ha ha, yeah sure. Israel's most fanatical American supporters are Christian fundamentalist, the crowd who thinks Mary rode to Bethlehem on the back of a baby dinosaur. Nice try neo cons, nice try.

    Bob's Likud love is a result of his having been brainwashed by cynical purveyors of a lunatic apocalyptic fantasy. And he has the temerity to talk about the "uneducated."

    Awesome.

    Pretty frightening that American evangelicals promote a legend of the rapture that pretty much acts as US foreign policy. Just crazy, completely nutball wingnut crazyville crazy. A hundred years from now they're going to be laughing their assess off at the reality that this actually happened.

    This must be true with 2004 having 60% turn out and 2008 having 61%.

    The young voters showing up for Obama definitely explains the drop to 54% turn out in 2012.

    So true my friend!!! It makes absolutely no sense why so many are against Israel. They buy into the propaganda campaign hook, line, and sinker.

    60% of conservatives under 40 approve of gay marriage

    The total % of all conservatives that support gay marriage is already at 40% and will continue to grow

    Sure, maybe this is the reason that the GOP has been so vociferously attacking education over the last decade or so.

    You do realize that as one becomes more educated, on average, they also become more liberal, right?
