I am through making or supporting knee-jerk defenses of Obama on his ME policy statements. West is a lunatic, but that does not make Obama’s policy positions beneficial to Israel. The proof of the pudding, as it is said, will be in the tasting.

Yep, there are no theories about the Middle East. An idea either works or it doesn’t. And the testing, tasting, comes very quickly.

re: #2 imp_62

why does it have to be knee-jerk exactly?

re: #4 SpaceJesus

I have found recently that the President is judged by the source of the criticism aimed at him, rather than its content. Because of the Birther idiocy and racism, it has become very difficult to direct appropriate criticism at BHO without risking being lumped in with the wingnuts. In order to avoid said guilt by association, I believe many people jump to his defence as a matter of course, rather than conviction.

Hey, imp. ;o)

I agree in principle with what you’re saying, but I’m not seeing the knee-jerk defense—at least not on this page or in the referenced article. Are you just speaking in general terms, or did I miss something obvious?

Hi and a hug right back! I am speaking in general terms.

Allen West is one of the most unhinged people in the world. The only thing he’s good for is clouding issues.

If he’s so unhinged, how the hell did he survive in the military for so long; it makes me wonder how far out there the average military person is, politically.

He was forced out of the military, something to remember.

Yeah, but he become something of a folk hero among them (based on what I’ve read on message boards), you know, for putting his men’s lives ahead of the shackles placed by civilian bureaucrats. All these right-wing commentators came to his defense.

Allan West doesn’t give a crap about Israel. This is just attacking Obama for the sake of attacking Obama. And yeah he’s scum.
