re: #7 Destro
Hikind is a conservative Democrat. So the conservative part makes him racist.
Hikind has urged the New York Police Department to implement a policy of racial profiling in subway bag searches, which would affect individuals who appear to be Muslim. Hikind was a follower of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane’s Jewish Defense League, which has been identified as “a right wing terrorist group” by the FBI,[[Link: en.wikipedia.org…]
He also endorsed the republican in the houses race (seat vacated by Anthony Weiner) because the Orthodox Jewish Democrat running voted for gay marriage. Also endorsed Bush and Pataki.
