Salon: Kristol’s group is ‘reckless’
Justin Elliott of Salon fact-checks Bill Kristol’s attack ad on Rush Holt, specifically the part about the NJ congressman earning a “100%” rating from the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Turns out the sole basis for CAIR’s approval is that Holt voted “no” on the REAL ID Act of 2005, an immigration measure which would have created a de facto national identification card. Salon points out that “other REAL ID opponents included Mike Huckabee and the Wall Street Journal editorial page.”
Writes Elliott:
Attack ads are not known known for their careful recitation of the record. But this is so far from the realm of accuracy that it would be wrong to call it anything but a reckless falsehood.

Rush Holt is in as much lockstep with J-Street’s bizarre so-called “pro-Israel” positions (opposing Iranian sanctions, opposing Israel’s defensive war against Gaza, supoporters of both the henious “Goldstone Report” and the blood libel of American Jews in Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer’s “The Israel Lobby”) as he is with Nancy Pelosi (votes with her 98.5% of the time).
The average New Jersey synagogue is more of a Demcoratic/liberal revival tent than a place of religious study and worship. It seems to me as if Americans Jews have now put liberal orthodoxy ahead of the preservation of worldwide Jewery, and even their own lives. Trust me, the destruction of Israel will not be the end, just the beginning of what the world has planned for us…
Holt favors those who, under the guise of liberalism, work to destroy Israel. The fact the American – and especially New Jersey – Jews do as well also illustrates another thing about us as a people: We may be quite book-smart, but we have no clue how to survive in the real world.
Go on, keep supporting Holt. Hey, if Hitler rose from the grave and ran as a Democrat, he’s still get 70% of Jewish support. “Oy, but what was I to do? Vote Republican…?”
