3. Only when it suits their political needs. |

And the inverse couldn't be further from the truth, of course; Jews are strongly pro-Democratic. :-)

Great interview. They basically said that Sinclair was a repuke shill and he got fired because he spoke against the company in public. The interviewer even asked him if he did not know what their political leaning was and that of course he knew how much money they gave to the repuke party so why did he do what he did? Got report, showed the bais of Sinclair very clearly.

6. Probably But We Might As Well Make As Much Political Hay As We Can |

Sinclair Broadcasting declared war on us
I subscribe to Malcom X's dictum...
Treat people with respect but if they try to harm you you have the right to respond by any means necessary...

7. Conservatives want to hurry up rapture/return of Jesus |
|
A major portion of the support of the conservatives is to speed up the return of Jesus. The support of Israel is very different from tolerating Jews here in the US.

11. No, he was fired for opening his mouth. |
|
A Jewish characteristic, but nonetheless.
