His stance isn’t against Israel, Suze. Read again. That’s the kind of brainless knee-jerk reaction that keeps real progress from every happening.

This is why I left the Democratic Party and joined a party that reflects truly progressive values. The Democratic Party is pathetic, backwards and out of touch. You should rename yourselves the Regressive Party. What’s even funnier is that Wexler proclaims Deutch as his ‘progressive’ replacement. Then Deutch denounces the only progressive in the Democratic Party. What a joke.

Aaronson, Fladell and the rest of the pack have to go. Look at what happened with Wexler and we have not seen anything yet. Klein is done so he pushes the wife of his law practice. This is so fun to see them all fall. FYI I am jewish and Democrat, yet they don’t represent me. Time for new blood and good for those who don’t like Dennis. He is antiIsrael but so is the group above because Jews are suppose lead and not follow. Sorry Deutch, Maria, (not a jew) Rader, Aaronson.

The local Democratic party welcomes you if you’re a socialist, union member, liberal Jew, gay, anti-military, and unquestioningly support Israel. I’m none of these and have decided to change parties or register with no party affiliation. I’m sick of Burt Aaronson, Andre Fladell and their cronies.

Still looks like the best guy for the job of speaker at the Palm Beach Truman-Kennedy Day Dinner is that great Democrat Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania!

It can be the best of times (Democrats) or the worst of times (Republicans), it emboldens the nuts - kick Senator Landrieu out, kick Kucinich out, rename the dinner from those low life politically incorrect Presidents Jefferson and Jackson. And, the Republicans are no better at tolerance – go after Governor Chris, “melt” Senator Snowe!

It’s the public’s business, not the politicians or the ideologues. Let all speak to the public issues!

Interesting to note that those remarks made about Jews, the people who sent them spelled the word Jews without a capital “J”.Would they spell Christian, as in Christian people as christian? Whether they are correct in their responses is NOT the issue with me, the fact that they are disrespectful and “perhaps” hateful is….You can change your rhetoric but you can’t hide your HATE. Admit it at least you cowards.

This is totally ridiculous and a shameful state of affairs for Palm Beach County Democrats. Aaronson calls pick of Kucinich “an absolute horror?” The absolute horror is Aaronson! Or should I say Arrogant Son…..? Dennis Kucinich is one of the four or five best members of Congress alive today. I am Jewish and extremely defensive of Israel. Dennis K may not agree with me about that, but he is so correct on just about everything, I can overlook it. All three local pols who objected are playing to the south county condo crowd, an odious, reprehensible bunch. In plain words, those old geezers stink to high heaven and they will be the ruination of our party.

It is not about the party, it is about the policy. Good that they stood up to a Democrat that does not understand no matter who you are you have the right to defend yourself.

For Siegal and those who put him in power it is your fault. This is not a democratic or republican thing..it is the right thing. Imagine if a few republicans would have disagreed with their own party or an elected official of the same name…we would all be in a different place.

Take away a party D or R we are all affected by the policies. It is too damn bad that most people don’t get it.

Elected officials are boycotting the democratic party event because a liberal democrat was going to speak. Deutch said no, because a possible fellow congressman disagrees with him. Not very collegial or diplomatic of him. This does not bode well for a future congressman. This is an example of exactly the wrong temperament for congress. He better stay in the Florida senate and learn more about being a statesman…he sure isn’t one yet! Rader ? well he definitely needs time to mature. I may disagree with Kucinich but he was smart enough to bow out gracefully. Siegal be careful who you invite, you got a tough crowd here.

As Golda Meier once said “if Arabs put down their weapons, there would be no more Arab-Israeli wars. If Israeli’s put down their weapons, there be no more Jews.”
Travel to Sderot and observe the indoor bomshell/playground where Jewish children play to avoid rockets from Gaza and you may begin to understand the daily stress and trauma Israeli’s face.
The end of violence is the beginning of peace and until then the State of israel will do what any other nation threatened daily by terror would do and that entails waging war on the source. The fact that Hamas and Hezbollah fighters hide behind civlians while hoping that Israeli’s return fire and create martyrs and victims used for public relations is regretable and leads me to anoher Meier quote, “peace will come when Arab mothers love their children more than they hate us.”

Oh, let’s all do just what Israel want us to do no matter what when we get bombed to smithereens forever by a people who committ to war by more than decree by CriminalBush. Those who will readily die for their God are to be feared but we need not make it worse by bowing down to almighty Israel, for God’s sake.

Politics is always the same follow the money…. where’s the money? one guess?

What the Democratic party does not seem to realize is that not all of us Democrats are pro-Israel or the current Israeli policy.

Though only a one of many ethnic and religious groups tortured and murdered during the Holocaust they would like you to believe that they are the only martyrs. They were not, there were Catholics and Christians, Gypsies and others not Ayrian in background.

One would think that the Israelies would have learned that one should treat others as they “would wish to be treated” NOT as their people “had been” treated.

It’s unfortunate that peace could be a long time coming.

It should be noted that not all Israelies and Jewish people support the policy of Israel and this number continues to grow especially at the grass roots and among young people, not only Jewish but all faiths…

As a Palm Beach County Democrat I apologize for the committees ignorant behavior and commend him for looking to what was best for the Party. We need more Democrats like Representative Kucinich. Maybe we ought to think about that in the next upcoming election - who do we really want to represent us in Palm Beach County? we need to stop being lemmings…

I am going to see Al Gore at Mizner. Deutch’s aide, the YD and FAU talked about it yesterday. Deutch is smart but the rest have to go…to jail. This is why the younger generation will give up on both parties. Deutch smart, Rader dumb, Aaronson criminal, Sachs more dumb

Anti-semitism is a 2-way street…arabs and jews are both semites. The problem is Israel can do whatever they want without too much reprisal from the west because they’re all afraid of that accusation. Until Israel stops acting like a fascist state and treating the palestinians like they were treated 60 years ago, they will never have peace.

I have such a hard time as a Democratic activist trying not to be seen as anti-Semitic just because I don’t agree with Israeli policy. The Jews are just as brainwashed about their religion as the Christian Right are about theirs. The only difference is that they channel that towards different policies. Christians take God, Gays, and Guns as their litmus test. Jews take Israel as theirs. And don’t you dare question either of them or they will take you down on their respective sides. What a wonderful free country we live in.

I’m not a democrat so I wouldn’t be interested in him anyhow but if his stance is against Israel he won’t get very far. Of course Obama told everyone he would stand with Israel and now he doesn’t seem very pro-israel either.
