McLaughlin Group: DLC hypocrite Mort Zuckerman complains of "Armenian Lobby"
Here's what the DLC billionaire said on the McLaughlin Group last week about the Armenian genocide resolution:

MR. ZUCKERMAN: I was following on what Pat said. There are 226 people who've signed this legislation -- that's proponents of it -- to call it a genocide of what Turkey did to -- it is a disaster for American policy. Eight secretaries of State have come out against it. Everybody is recognizing this is terrible for the national interest of the United States. And it is a function of a special-interest group, the Armenian lobby, giving tremendous amounts of money to a lot of Congress people.

A billionaire kingpin of the Israel Lobby complains about Armenians giving money to candidates? Now that takes chutzpah!

2. Believe it or not, he's actually a Democrat
But he might be to the right of the DLC.

6. Isn't he one?
He certainly advocates similar positions on many issues, doesn't he?

4. He really should know better.
Hitler saw that the Turks were able to get away with the Armenian genocide with little outcry in the world, so it seemed to him that much easier to do the same to the Jews.
