Deep Thought

Why are right-wing freaks now the self-appointed defenders of Jews, defending us from the candidates the overwhelming proportion of us Jews plan to vote for?

Read the above post which addresses a point I have been making to friends for quite some time. But then it occurred to me that it may be in part due to a combination of two things: (1) neo-cons using Israel to sell the Iraq war and to otherwise make their case for whatever designs they have in the Middle East and (2) the susceptibility of right-wing freaks to the argument. Now that the spigot has been turned on, it's not so easy to turn off.
