Hundred Monkeys My @ss!
Submitted by Tall Bald and Ugly on Wed, 03/06/2019 - 7:26pmSince this came up in a thread and I've read this and another similar article recently calling bs on it And more than one poster asked, I figured I'd do a brief post, show an excerpt and link the damn thing. While the article I'm linking is from 1985, I haven't found the other, more recent one, although the more recent one Quotes this one. Still with me? Yeah, me neither.

Ilhan Omar and AIPAC overreach
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 03/06/2019 - 6:18pmWhile the GOP is still under the control of the pro-Israeli lobby, it appears that the Democratic Party is slipping out of their grasp. It started with the anti-BDS bill.
