thanks for the update, Mac. Since I’m on the Emerald Isle, it’s hard keeping up with the continental news 😉 But I do applaud governments taking responsability! ---

[I thought this was interesting - from instapundit.com.](http://www.instapundit.com/) **december** , check this out. > [@](#): > > IT’S A TRENT LOTT MOMENT FOR THE DEMOCRATS: > By Spencer S.

Moran Jr. (D-Va.) today for delivering what they said were anti-Semitic remarks at an anti-war forum in Reston, in which he suggested that American Jews are responsible for pushing the country to war with Iraq and that Jewish leaders could prevent war if they wanted. . . . :wally They also link to “this guy” - [a Republican.](http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3746196.html) He questions whether the Nazis really brutalized homosexuals. Once again proving, you cannot make someone watch educational television instead of Fifth Wheel and the 700 Club you can only suggest it. ---

Maybe there’s something about that name… ---

Well actually December, the proper Irish pronouciation of ‘Moran’, is infact ‘_Moron_’. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-jews-been-exiled-from-the-coalition-of-the-oppressed/159487.md?page=5)
