It's possible he has cast in his lot for good with the far-left leadership, though he's under strong pressure to "prove" his loyalty. However, the lack of nuance by Dencal26 coupled with his Jew-baiting raised my hackles. But you've addressed the same points a bit more diplomatically in your other comment, so I'll see if he responds to either of us. OT, any chance you could tell me the secret code for contacting other RedStaters by e-mail? I’ll suspend further judgment for a few months when Congress finds some kind of new political equilibrium.

No he's not a radical pacifist, but he's still radically pro-abortion, pro-tax, pro-big government, pro-spending, pro-card check, pro-globowarmism, and just about every other element of the far left agenda.

Can you elaborate on why you say he only cares about being "helpful" to Israel? Also, you clearly think this is a bad thing. Why is that?

Can you elaborate on why you say he only cares about being “helpful” to Israel?

Also, you clearly think this is a bad thing. Why is that?

He's a old-fashioned northeast liberal (strong defense/foreign affairs, traditional domestic liberal) in a party that has gone headlong towards socialism and anti-military (against foreign enemies, that is). 2) Just because he's Jewish doesn't mean that every foreign policy position of his is run an Israel-purity filter, and to accuse him of such is to raise the old anti-semetic canard to divided loyalty. 3) Besides, the extreme left - Jewish and non-Jewish alike - are uniformly anti-Israel. So what's your game? 1) Liberman is not an “extreme leftist”. He’s a old-fashioned northeast liberal (strong defense/foreign affairs, traditional domestic liberal) in a party that has gone headlong towards socialism and anti-military (against foreign enemies, that is).

2) Just because he’s Jewish doesn’t mean that every foreign policy position of his is run an Israel-purity filter, and to accuse him of such is to raise the old anti-semetic canard to divided loyalty.

3) Besides, the extreme left – Jewish and non-Jewish alike – are uniformly anti-Israel.

So what’s your game?

His position on Iraq was simply based on his view that it was helpful to Israel. Joe has always been an extreme leftist.
