Top Obama Adviser Accuses Jews of McCarthyism

In today’s American Thinker: “Obama Advisor Accuses Jews of ‘McCarthyism’“:
A foreign policy adviser of presidential candidate Barack Obama, Zbigniew Brzezinski, accused members of the American Jewish establishment of “McCarthyism” in its attitude towards critics of Israel. He called the pro-Israel lobby “too powerful” and accused American supporters of Israel as being too ready to use the slur of “anti-Semitism” against critics of Israel. …
What if Hillary Clinton’s close ‘friend’ an advisor, or if Hillary had said this:
“Brzezinski is someone I have learned an immense amount from”, and “one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers”.
Then, imagine if that person made this statement:
It’s not unique to the Jewish community — but there is a McCarthy-ite tendency among some people in the Jewish community. They operate not by arguing but by slandering, vilifying, demonising.They very promptly wheel out anti-Semitism. There is an element of paranoia in this inclination to view any serious attempt at a compromised peace as somehow directed against Israel.”
Paranoid? Jewish people are paranoid? Well, I guess so, one day they are heading off to work – the next day they are being shipped off to concentration camps (IF THEY WERE LUCKY) or worse- gas chambers.
So, forgive me Mr. Brzezinski if I do not buy into your ‘outstanding thinking’ that Jewish people ‘promptly wheel out anti-Semitism’.
Anyway- back to my point- If a Hillary supporter/advisor had made this statement…well, you know.

One more thing: Remember South Carolina?
The only way the Obama campaign could neutralize/devour Hillary’s support in the AA community was to paint her and her husband as racist. Is Senator Obama’s campaign now trying to neutralize or divide the Jewish community? He and David Axelrod have done quite a number on the Democratic Party. Divide the progressive blogosphere, divide the feminist, divide, divide, divide and conquer- but what exactly is Senator Obama and his campaign going to conquer?
