Today is not a great day for Anti-Semites. Mr. Peanut gets skewered in Asia. And now the Republican Jewish Coalition is placing an ad in all of the major Jewish Papers asking the former General to apologize for some of his recent remarks that reinforce dangerous and harmful stereotypes of the Jewish community.
In a conversation reported on Arianna Huffington's blog, Clark said that "the Israeli press'' and "New York money people" were pressuring the U.S. government to take military action against Iran, alluding to the rich NY Jews and of course the stereotype that Jews control the media. Control the Media? Sheesh!!!! I don't even control my own household
"That kind of language, based in old stereotypes about Jews, feeds into anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks. "Clark's remarks were hurtful, damaging, and wrong, and Wesley Clark should apologize to the American Jewish community for saying them."
Brooks is right !!! That kind of bigoted talk should not be part of American Politics (although it does fit in to some books written by some ex-Presidents from Georgia).

sheesh
Someone who calls him/herself Jai left a comment that says any Jews that believes in the republican agenda is like a Capo in the death camps. Jai doesn't believe in his/her comments because they didn't leave a legitimate email address.
Jai before you call people horrible names for their political views, maybe you should spend some time with the Talmud so you can how comments like that are regarded in Jewish law
And who knows Jai, my mom's family is from Kansas city. We even may be related.
Clark is no bigot. What was untrue about what he said?
Did he not make his feelings clear in the letter to the ADL?
Why is this not acceptable to the RJC? Why do they make a decent friend of the jews out to be some David Duke?
Because they would rather flush money down the toilet calling a friend of the jews a racist cuz it helps their mindless agenda - be sure to see this clark ad resurrected in 2008 before the election with some sort of tagline calling the democrats the party of racists like wes clark.
this is taking things wait too far and making us jews look worse.
