Newsflash: AIPAC=Psycho

After the warm-and-fuzzy vibes of that last post, please allow me to take one moment to say this: the folks at AIPAC have gone fully friggin' crazy. Seriously. So say the good people at JewsOnFirst, and so say I.

They invited Pastor John Hagee of Christians United for Israel to speak--check out the first part of his speech:


The person screaming "I love you" nearly made me puke my morning coffee. I have neither the energy nor the inclination to point out the reasons why I'm uncomfortable with Christian Zionists--although, in Reader's Digest version, it probably has to do with the fact that they believe I'm doomed to eternal damnation--but I will say that I hadn't realized before the last few weeks how far to the right AIPAC has really veered. Forget denominationalism--the next showdown in and amongst American Jewry is going to be the uber-lefties versus the incipient Judeo-fascists. Luckily, both sides can bring their very own evangelical Christians. We Jews can take a breather!

By the way, even if you missed John Hagee, there were plenty of other nutjob speakers to keep you entertained.

I'm disgusted.
