Congressman Moran: "They’re out to get me!"
Rep. James P. Moron Moran, who suggested last month that American Jews had nudged the nation into war, has offended some Jews again by suggesting a pro-Israel lobbying group will finance an effort to unseat him.
"How dare anyone run against me! I'm an incumbent, you know!"
The Virginia Democrat suggested at a recent party meeting that the lobbying group will raise $2 million in an effort to defeat him next year.
"It's not paranoia, they're really out to get me!"
Moran, a seven-term incumbent, said the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has begun organizing against him and will "direct a campaign against me and take over the campaign of a Democratic opponent," The Washington Post reported Thursday.
"Those J-E-W-S are always taking over things!"
AIPAC spokeswoman Rebecca Dinar called Moran's comments "evidence he's gone off his medication again" "ridiculous" and said the organization "had no idea" what the congressman was talking about. AIPAC by law cannot raise money for candidates and by policy does not endorse candidates, Dinar said.
That's too bad. I was going to kick in a few bucks, and I'm neither Jewish nor a Democrat. Come to think of it, I'm not a Virginian, either...
In an interview Wednesday, Moran said he was simply "relaying what I had heard" from a little voice inside his head fellow House member about fund-raising activity against him by AIPAC members in Florida. He said he didn't know if it was true but added, "It's conceivable."
"Anything's possible, you know."
"You'd have to be naive not to recognize that AIPAC is a very important network of people organized around a cause .... But if I have to run against a national network that I don't have the ability to communicate with, it's going to be very difficult."
"They may have already implanted a computer chip in my butt to control me."
David Friedman, Washington regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, said of Moran's reported remarks, "This only confirms what we already knew: that Jim Moran is a raving moonbat bigoted man who perpetuates age-old canards and stereotypes about Jews."
"Remember, we Democrats are the party of tolerance and brotherhood — right, Cynthia?"
