RedState: Antisemitism and "A Baseline for Bigotry"

Submitted by Bruce Godfrey on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 22:50.

I am too exhausted after a long sick day of posting to go through the whole story, but HAT TIP to Moe Lane at RedState for his piece on explicit antisemitism and racism in a Memphis Congressional race, this time a "Black Christian" minister calling for the ouster of Congressman Steve Cohen on the alleged ground that he and "the Jews" "hate Jesus." Offensive flier here, WaPo article here. I liked Moe's take but am just too tired to manufacture the will to march on.

Now that I have quoted RedState twice in one day, I must go to Liberal Confessional.

Cohen and the CBC

When he was first elected Rep. Cohen asked to join the Congressional Black Caucus arguing that since his constituency was mostly African-American, he could better represent them as part of the caucus. His request was denied.
