Dear LeftAhead,
Let me explain what I meant. MJ blamed Mark Penn for one of so called racists attacks on Obama by Clinton. Because Marl Penn is Jewish he called him neocon, that is derogatory term in Democratic party. I think this is antisemitic.Posted at December 22, 2007 9:52 PM in response to Time To Enage Hamas & Alterman On The Lobby

Andrew,
You didn't ask me not to take over MJ's thread.
You asked me not to insult MJ personally and I don't. If you suggest that a blogger restrict himself to so many comments per thread, I will accept such limitations.
In any case, MJ insulted me personally without any justifications, and I'm interested in your opinion about such behavior:
racist, I do not want vicious anti-Palestinian or anti-African American opinions

Jews are also impressively sensible when it comes to Israel/Palestine, all things considered. Though barely more than a third think peace is likely anytime soon, and more than 80 percent believe the goal of the Muslim states is to destroy Israel, a 46-to-43 percent plurality continues to support the creation of a Palestinian state
If MJ think that such views are impressively sensible, what's seems to be a problem? I don't follow all of pundits from MJ list, however, Richard Cohen, David Brooks and several other share the same view. I share them too. While pundits are not hired to represent Jews, they do share mainstrem views of American people in general and American Jews specifically.Posted at December 22, 2007 6:12 PM in response to Time To Enage Hamas & Alterman On The Lobby

The Palestinians, of course, have missed one opportunity after another (most notably when they rejected the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947) but, contrary to Eban’s implication, the Israeli record on seizing opportunities is not much better.
One hand hand this statement seems reasonable. On another hand if you think more, it's totally bogus claim. Look at the results not at the process. Jewish people seized opportunities and built a strong democtatic prosperous state. Arabs had opportunities to build own state, but they missed all opportunities for this so far.Posted at December 22, 2007 6:09 PM in response to Time To Enage Hamas & Alterman On The Lobby

Why are you saying "bogeyman"?

So, in the first round of legislation he'll cover many of the uninsured like the poor and children, and allow many people who want to buy into Gov HCI, to do so. Certainly millions will drop ridiculously over priced HMOs and PPO's for his program, myself included, and then be the best possible sales people for it.
1. Why would Gov HCI be (much)cheaper than private insurance, unless Gov HCI is subsidized? 2. Why do you want to buy any insurance? Are you seriously sick? If not, there is no reason to buy any insurance under Obama system, just wait until you get sick. Buying insurance while you are not sick is for suckers.Posted at December 22, 2007 2:53 PM in response to How Soon Can We Expect National Health Reform?

Why don't "progressive" put up or shut up.
If they think that Weiner or any other Jewish right wing liberal doesn't not represent views of his/her constituency, try to unseat them.
I know that Lantos is getting primary challenge, however the issue there is his age, not his I/P views. So, stop whining, To the Barricades, Comrades!Posted at December 22, 2007 2:46 PM in response to Time To Enage Hamas & Alterman On The Lobby

But I would much rather see non-profit public sector insurers setting guidelines for what should and shouldn't be covered
I think this is what we already have today, at least for cancer. National Cancer Institute sets guidelines for every type of cancer and private insurances follow such guidelines, AFAIK.Posted at December 22, 2007 2:15 PM in response to How Soon Can We Expect National Health Reform?

Maggie,
I'm not talking about health care in general, but about medical devices specifically.
We have lots and lots of competition among producers all kind of devices, cars, computers, electronic gadgets, and so on, and as the result of such fierce competition we see a remarkable progress. Somehow for medical devices you suggest a different route for progress, price control and limit to competition. I don't see how this is going to work.
he or she is TWICE AS LIKELY TO DIE as an insured child?
It's very disturbing stats. Do you have any explanations for that?Posted at December 22, 2007 1:51 PM in response to How Soon Can We Expect National Health Reform?
