Center for American Progress, group tied to Obama, under fire from Israel advocates The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank closely aligned with the White House, is embroiled in a dispute with several Jewish organizations over charges that some center staffers have publicly used language that could be construed as anti-Israel or even anti-Semitic. Among the points of contention are Twitter posts by one CAP writer on his personal account referring to “Israel-firsters.” Some experts say the phrase has roots in the anti-Semitic charge that American Jews are more loyal to a foreign country, Israel, than to the United States. In another case, a staffer described a U.S. senator as showing more fealty to the prime U.S. pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, than to his own constituents. The first writer has since left the staff. “The language is corrosive and unacceptable,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. He added that the blog posts and tweets from CAP staffers “are the responsibility of the adults who run the place, not only the kids who play.” |
Richard Hétu, qui pourtant ne rate jamais une occasion pour dire que les républicains sont antisémites, n’a pas jugé bon rapporter cette histoire. Il faut dire que Richard Hétu utilise fréquemment du matériel produit par le Center for American Progress dans ses billets…

Go ! Go ! pour l’élection présidentielle. On veut bien se marrer en 2012…

Dites-moi monsieur Swanson, à quand remonte votre dernière visite en Caroline du Sud? Vous semblez vraiment bien connaître ces gens.
