. . what this means.

It means that compared to many of the statements here at DU, most Americans - including the vast majority of Democrats like Ned Lamont - see George Bush's statements on this as better representing reality and America's values than many of the posts here at DU on this topic - that overtly describe Israel as the aggressor who "needs to be punished" - for defending itself.

Do these posters think that because of their emotional - hate Bush, hate the neo-cons rants - that the majority of Americans are going to "see the light"?

What will happen is the RW will simply use these misguided rants as proof that the Dem base is living in a "blame America first - Could never defend America against terrorists" - dream state.

Please stop and consider your position. Israel is fighting for her life surrounded by terrorist groups that have pledged to destroy Israel. Israel is defending against those attempts. Do you really want to be on the side of the religious fanatics trying to destroy a democratic secular state? Do you really want to give Karl Rove and the RW talking heads that additional weapon?
