I didn't look at the thread because I thought it was about a stupid republican saying stupid things. Well, it was, but some of the comments in the thread were interesting.

The idea that American Jews have some kind of dual loyalty smacks of anti-Semitism.

I don't usually hang out in this forum, but someone alerted on the OP (no clue why) and I happened to see your post while serving on the jury.

Your post twice uses a word that was once a clinical term for people who have more than enough challenges in life. Some of their family members post at DU.

Usually, DUers don't use that word as a slur. In your shoes, I would revise the post to eliminate that word before someone sees it and alerts. Full disclosure: I have absolutely no authority to make that request.

Since you seem to be the only one in the group who knows the details.

I know you were not on the Jury.

It was clearly a bogus alert and the Jury agreed.
