Romney is originally from Michigan. He went to one of the most significant places in Michigan to make his announcement. Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village is a major landmark-tourist attraction. It is even one of the primary ‘Chol Hamoed outing’ destinations even for the chareidi olam there.
I don’t think the Goyishe velt looks at Henry Ford and thinks AntiSemite. We do, because we’re on the ‘receiving end’ of his support for our enemies. But the velt in general, now more than 70 years after his support for the Nazis y’sh, thinks of Henry Ford as the guy from Detroit who made cars. You can’t impute antisemitic motives onto him, when the issue was probably not even considered.

As an aside, I wonder if there is a connection between the home base of Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan, and the very heavy Arab population in that same town, the largest concentration of Arabs in this country.

National Jewish Democratic Council is a RJC (Republican Jewish Coalition) copycat.
The RJC has seen huge success and growth in membership thanks to the amazingly pro-Jewish President, GW Bush.
Unlike the RJC, the NJDC has a tough sell because most Jewish liberals are a) already staunch members of the Democrat party and b) don’t like being a part of any group with the label “Jewish” attached to it.
The hypocracy which flows from Ira (who by the way has a HUGE supporter in Zev Brenner, who regularly give them airtime to promote their agenda) should NOT be a surprise as most Liberals are the biggest hypocrits (sic?) ever.
Hi Nameless. Whats going on today?

at the end of his life, ford regretted his stand on jews and claimed the protocols were fake. besides, democrats (especially jewish dems) dont care what they say or do as long as they can disparage republicans

no I have not read it

I was wrong in my timeline it was published in Japan in 2004 see attached timeline (Link). I remember reading awhile ago that it was a bestseller in Japan. I am sure if you do some searches you will find stories.

its a good thing that the protocols were a best seller in japan- it saved many yeshivos during ww2 thinking it would influence america

…so I went to the website for this so-called Jewish group. from their mission statement they are committed to such Jewish concepts like:
“reproductive freedom” – my comment: they are pro killing babies in the womb – doesn’t sound very Jewish to me!

“Fighting the radical right agenda at every turn” – my comment: no matter what position they take, whether supporting Jewish education (vouchers), freedom of land use (Shuls, Yeshivas), rights for the Shomer Shabbos employee. etc. if the “right” says it NJDC will always take the wrong position!

YES – I know that I only took a part of the statement. these are their positions, so what if they may have a point with this issue!
