[HANASHIR:16139] RE: Just passing this on...

[Eric Komar <eric...>]

I too am not crazy about Dean or about what he and Gore just pulled on
Leiberman. But it seems that Dean's words were taken a little out of
context. An eye-opening dissection of the 9/9 Democratic debate and the Wolf
Blitzer interview can be found at
http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/DeanIsrael.htm

I also doubt that the email came from someone "from the Bush campaign". For
all we know, it could be from a supporter of another of the Dem candidates.

OK, getting back to the topic of music ...

Everyone--
        I'm not a Howard Dean fan, but this sounds totally wrong.  Doesn't
Howard Dean have a Jewish wife?  To suggest that he's anti-Israel based on
one turn-of-phrase which is little different from what George W. Bush has
used in the past and which Dean corrected weeks ago is nuts.  I'll bet, if
you trace the origin of the e-mail below, you'll find someone from the Bush
campaign is behind it.    Just think about it.
