Is Rick Perry Palling Around With Extremists?

[Purveyor]

At his Tuesday speech on Israel, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry was flanked by a number of conservative politicians and religious leaders. But one figure, who is a Democrat, may be more controversial and extreme than all of the others.

Democratic New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind recieved a warm public embrace from Perry after he gave the Texas governor's remarks his seal of approval.

"I had the same speech speech, identical to what you had there," Hikind told Perry. "I think the American people need change they can believe in. I'm not endorsing anyone today -- I see it beyond the pale to support Barack Obama, having watched him these past three years."

"But I like what I heard today, both publicly from the governor, who has a record of friendship to the people of Israel way before he ever thought of running for president. Saw your article in The Wall Street Journal, and I said that sounds like me. That sounds like the speeches I have been making for years... So, governor, what you said publicly and what you said privately upstairs, God bless you and for today, I wish you all the luck in the world."
