Congressional Candidate's Campaign and the List of "Jewish Donors"

Mike McMahon (D-NY)


From New York comes this troubling story involving a US Congressional race and a list of "Jewish donors". And yes, it comes from that old bug-a-boo, Fox News. If you prefer to read about from CBS, you can do so. (MSNBC? Good luck.)

Rep. Michael McMahon (D-NY) was correct in firing his communications director, but when these stories come out, it seems it is always necessary for the staffer to fall on his or her sword in order to protect the candidate or office-holder.

Let's set aside the obvious stupidity of Jennifer Nelson giving a document headed "Jewish donors" to a newspaper and not expecting the story to explode in her face. What motivated her to do this in the first place? Another question is who else was involved in compiling this list of "Jewish donors".

In the final analysis, it is another disturbing sign of the resurgence of anti-Semitism in the West that this dopey woman could even dream she could engage in this crap.
