MSNBC’s Morning Joe airs Neocon Lynching Ad
July 14th, 2010 § 2 Comments
Joe Sestak, the highest-ranking former military officer currently serving in Congress and the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Pennsylvania likely never imagined that he would become the first target of a public lynching campaign by a recently created neoconservative front group, the ‘Emergency Committee for Israel‘ (ECI), when he dared to act in a way which reveals his allegiance to the United States over Israel. You can find out more about Sestak’s crimes here, but more interesting is the way in which the American mainstream media has been plugging the ECI’s lynching campaign against Sestak. First CNN, now MSNBC, and we are also told that in addition to being aired on cable television, the ad against Sestak will even be played during a Phillie game.
In the clip above, Joe Scarborough & Mika Brzezinski offer no critical analysis or commentary on the blatant way in which the ad presents Israeli interests as somehow equivalent to American interests. They also air the entire ad for free! When guest Terry McAuliffe says he has never seen a political ad as vicious as this one before, Scarborough comes to its defense, claiming that its still presenting important issues to the US public.
According to retired senior US military officer Colonel W. Patrick Lang, it’s amazing that no one has demanded that the people behind the ECI be registered as foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act:
This seems to be one of the most cut and dried cases of mandatory registration. They are openly advertising that they are serving as a lobby for Israel. And, by the way, as a string of law suits against AIPAC, and an FEC ruling against ADL make clear, foreign agents, whether individuals or organizations, cannot interfere, in any way, in U.S. electoral affairs. So, we have a very strong legal case here, of illegal Israeli interference, using people who ought to be forced to register as Israeli agents.
because of that ad I would actualy vote for him,
Fuck Israel
Yeah, the nerve….actually supporting US interests over Israeli ones. Fat chance he’ll get “elected” again.
Name five successful candidates for Federal (House/Senate/POTUS combined) office since 1974 who have won without AIPAC funding against candidates so funded. They don’t exist. That should tell you everything you need to know about what’s wrong with the good old U S of A.
Remember USS Liberty!
