This is amazing

Jeffrey H. Birnbaum on Lieberman's campaign.

political insiders don't give him much chance of winning the nomination. There are several reasons for this, but one big one is rarely discussed in public: Lieberman is a Jew.

The nonpartisan Anti-Defamation League (ADL) published a survey last year showing that anti-Jewish sentiment was on the rise. It found that 17% of Americans, or about 35 million adults, "hold views about Jews that are unquestionably anti-Semitic." That represented an increase from 12% in 1998.



Ahh, those neo nazi skin-heads in the GOP right?

Not quite.

the ADL found, 35% of African Americans held strong anti-Semitic opinions.


This is one subject that my diversity sessions overlooked.
