Is John McCain an Anti-Semite?

BEGALA:

...

But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization. It was the U.S. Council for World Freedom. It was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran-Contra scandal. It was an ultraconservative right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981, when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League, the parent organization, which ADL said, “has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and Anti-Semites.”



The U.S. Council for World Freedom was, before being renamed the World League for Freedom and Democracy, the U.S. chapter of the World Anti-Communist League. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Council_for_World_Freedom



Singlaub was also active with the World Anti-Communist League, described by former member Geoffrey Stewart-Smith as "largely a collection of Nazis, Fascists, anti-Semites, sellers of forgeries, vicious racialists, and corrupt self-seekers."

...

In 1977, while Singlaub was chief of staff of U.S. forces in South Korea, he publicly criticized President Jimmy Carter's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula. On March 21, 1977, Carter relieved him of duty for overstepping his bounds and failing to respect the President's authority as Commander-in-Chief.".<4><5>

1. I'm starting to believe that in McCain's America, only certain people need apply.......
Unless adopted in order to become a campaign prop. :(

2. McLame is a piece of fucking work
How dare he even question anyone's patriotism when he was associated with a group like this? How dare he questions anyone's love for country when he made propaganda films for Communists. He is a racist, anti-semite and homophobe. He needs to be exposed for the right wing trash he is.

His own running mate spoke to a separatist group in her official capacity as governor and her husband belonged to that group and these people have the gall to talk about Obama's loose ties to a guy who lives in his neighborhood. :mad:

4. I was saying in another thread what a genius Begala is...
...for the way he set that up.

"SOMEONE might bring this up."

10. This contradicts his friendship with Joe Lieberman.
It is very confusing to me.

9. There is something so wrong with this man.
Read the article in the current issue of Rolling Stone in addition to this information and a very disturbing profile of McCain emerges. The man is a self promoter with absolutely no principles.

12. Yes. Misanthropy implies anti-semitism.
McCain and others of his ilk have no regard for human life.
