Latest from the Left: Israel ordered Lieberman to oppose the "public option"
Joe Gandelman, "The Moderate Voice"
Noted in a discussion of strains in the Democratic party:
A liberal talk show host last night said the REAL reason Lieberman threw a monkey wrench into what seemed to be a health care reform compromise, is that because Lieberman did it for Israel. That's right. The Jew card was actually played here. This talk show host said Lieberman is Congress' most famous "Zionist" and that Israel wants to weaken Obama so if Obama could be undercut on this issue and weakened it would weaken his clout in the Middle East. So Lieberman essentially did Tel Aviv's bidding. (Oh.)
He doesn't tell us which talk show host it was. Thing is, if you scan the postings and comment threads at left-leaning blogs and websites, you'll find plenty of examples. There's also this DU post that accuses Rahm Emmanuel of being a secret agent of "the power elite and...Israel" sent to destroy the Democratic Party from within. Anti-Semitisim is never far below the surface of the modern Democratic Party, or so it seems.
