The message here is completely and irreparably mixed, and that’s likely to be exactly how Democrat strategists want it. Bernie Sanders loves Linda Sarsour; she was even a surrogate for his campaign. Thus she had to appear at the DNC as part of ongoing efforts to keep Bernie’s base loyal and in line behind Biden. But then Biden condemned her so as to reassure the Jews and supporters of Israel who, apparently blind to what has been happening over the last ten years, still vote Democrat. But this strategy depends on no one noticing the contradictory messages.
“Biden Condemns Former Women’s March Co-Chair Linda Sarsour After She Appears At DNC,” by Thomas Catenacci, Daily Caller News Foundation, August 18, 2020:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned Linda Sarsour Tuesday after she appeared at a Democratic National Convention council meeting.
“Joe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform,” Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said, according to CNN’s Jake Tapper. “She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever.”
Bates referenced the official Democratic platform, according to Tapper, which says, “We oppose any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel, including at the United Nations or through the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement.”
Earlier in the day, the Donald Trump campaign tweeted a video of Sarsour’s appearance at the DNC saying her “extreme bigotry is welcomed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”…
Mike says
so Biden is endorsing Anti-Semitism
JHL says
Linda Sarsewer from the sewer.
Sam says
You are the real anti-semte, this lady is a pure Semite, the vast majority of Jews are Europeans and central Asians, and has nothing to do with the semetic people.
Get real education.
maria says
She is a muslim and a one of the most terrible racists and hater of the Jews
Norman Gardner says
you are an idiot for making that statement, DNA proves you wrong.
Artist says
So does Virulent Jew Hater work better for you and your dopey ” semitic/anti-semtic Farrakhan trope?
Sarsour is also a misogynist cheerleader for ( her words) the “cultural advantages” of Female Genital Mutilation whatever THAT means but yet hasn’t gotten sliced and sewn like she advocates for prepubescent girls.
gravenimage says
This is a common claim among Muslims–that Jews are not really Jews, but are all European or “Khazars”–when in reality many Jews never left the Levant.
So what is this claptrap for? Just the claim that Muslims (never mind that Arabs were not actually native to the Levant) have the right to destroy Israel and commit genocide against the Jews. Sick, sick stuff.
Sam says
Many Jews never left the Levant, this is true, but many current Jews are from khazaria and other central Asian countries.
Many are from eastern Europe such as the Soviet (Russian) Jews, polish Jews, Romanian Jews etc etc … these have zero percent Semitic ethnicity(0.0%).
gravenimage says
This is not, of course, true. Even most Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews are quite closely related to Mizrahi Jews. In fact, almost all Jews are closely related:

By inviting Sarsour to speak at the DNC convention, it should leave no doubt who controls the Democrat Party and it isn’t Sleepy Joe. If this doesn’t convince patriotic Americans to vote for Trump and Republican Congressional candidates, nothing will.
PRCS says
” it should leave no doubt who controls the Democrat Party and it isn’t Sleepy Joe.”
Re: who’s in charge?
Bad enough if the ‘party’ planners told him in advance and he didn’t nix her invitation.
Worse if they didn’t feel to need to tell him!
Artist says
obama
Dray says
Remember that Harris is married to a Jew and has visited Israel many times and loves the country.
gravenimage says
Yes, Harris’s husband is Jewish. As for the second–well, sometimes.
She has condemned Hamas bombing Israeli civilians, and has admitted that Israel is a democracy.
But she would not answer when asked if she would pull the American embassy out of Jerusalem, and has said that Israel has no right to act in the “West Bank”. She is also for the Iran nuclear deal, which just emboldened Iran’s aggression against Israel. She also visited “Al Quds university”, which hangs banners lauding “Palestinian” terrorists, and they engage in incitement to Jihad terrorism.
So Harris has been rather a mixed bag at best–could be worse, I suppose.
maria says
No not at all. She did her best to kick Mrs Boxer from her position. She is a liar and her husband is a Jew only when he sees it “suitable”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
So this is multi-layered. Joe supports women’s rights, and Linda was a force behind the women’s march against the sexist Trump’s inauguration. Joe defends the rights of non-Caucasians, and Linda is a so-called Palestinian (aka a bedouin Arab). Joe is against terrorism to protect Jews, who may be confused but will be taken care of under Joe’s watchful eye.
Which leaves the question as to how Linda ended up with the name cockroach, as in Linda Cockroach.
jewdog says
Where’s my bug spray?
PRCS says
+1 to both of you.
jack says
>Which leaves the question as to how Linda ended up with the name cockroach, as in Linda Cockroach.
The real question is how Linda Sarsour/Cockroach ended up in America. And what can we do to ensure more of her ilk do not do the same?
Sam says
Correction for you so you can fathom a bit better
Palestinians:= inhabitants of the lands that are West of the Jordanian river, South of the mountains of Lebanon.
Arab Bedouins= nomads of the deserts that speak Arabic.
All of the people I mentioned belong to the cananietes(sp?) Who belong to the phunicians .
Having said the above, some of the people who are Palestinians believed the criminal and the culprit called ABRAHAM and his dirty descendants (Jewish prophets) and they became the Jews of today, the followers of the Abrahamic criminal gang opposed by 2 decent humans, Jesus and Mohammed.
gravenimage says
Of course, this is really bizarre. No people ever called themselves Palestinians until after 1967–this term was ginned up by the Soviets.
Then, it is odd that “Sam” here hates Abraham–doesn’t he know that his coreligionists claim that he was a Muslim prophet?
Robert_K says
Ask Biden if he condemns Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Then get back to me in the morning.

A question which should–but likely won’t be asked.
Mr. Vice President, Unlike Representatives Omar and Tlaib, Linda Sarsour is an American citizen. As you have appropriately condemned her anti-Semitic, BDS views, will you also publicly condemn those two elected officials for the same?
maria says
When he needed people to vote for him. As VP he was terrible and insulted Israel many times
Sam says
He is as good or bad as trump, both serve the Zionist agenda that intends to enslave humanity, both are bad to Americans and worse to other humans.
gravenimage says
“Sam” here is particularly unhinged when it comes to Jewish people–he considers Jews living in freedom to somehow be slavery, but lauds *actual* enslavement of people under Islam.

Come on man let’s do the obiden twist. Round and around…around….

Joe Biden condemns anti-Semite Linda Sarsour after she appears at the Democratic National Convention
………………..
Well, this is somewhat good to hear–but who endorsed her speaking at the DNC? This is supposed to be Biden’s show–but it doesn’t really look like it…
wpm says
Biden at this point is an empty suit in the Democratic party a spot holder for the spot of President if elected.What he has done,not done,said ,or not said does not matter.If elected he will step down and give the up being President to Harris.The old guard of the Democratic party (all over 70 years old) is fading away most will be dead in within a decade.The “need” improved communist progressive wing that sides with BLM,street riots,mob rule ,taking away the rights of the first and second amendments invited Linda Sarsour and side with her like mind anti-Semite,anti western cultural,ant-Christian allies in the new progressive wing of the democratic party.
gravenimage says
Quite possible.

R Thomasson says
James Zogby and his brother are traitors to their own folk: CHRISTIAN LEBANESE; who are NO ARABS! His nation is facing threat of genocide and depopulation. This sick man busy himself with Palestinians and Muslims. People who had shameful disgraced in 1971 (after Black September) the hospitality of his Lebanese brothers. They had political destabilized a prosperous country, and dragged it into a civil war. When the war was over, MUSLIMS had taken over the country and the nightmare for Christians had started. His Muslim friends are aiming to clean Lebanon from any Christian presence. ISIS is their way of doing business. Why is he kissing ass with enemies of his Christian nation? The last Christians who still have a country in the Middle East? Middle Eastern Christians – even the Palestinians among them – can better take distance from this Quisling Boy. He is a Goldfinger compatible:
He’s the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider’s touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don’t go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can’t disguise what you fear
For a Christian knows when he tries to kiss his ass
It’s the kiss of death
It seems the Dems are collecting all the dangerous shit in American society, just for pushing Biden to the White House. A very nasty and hazardous development.
Goofy says
Biden is no longer able to condemn anything or support anything for that matter. The headline offers hope but when you read the text the condemnation was made by a spokesperson and not by Biden himself. Biden may always have been a puppet serving his masters but now he hardly understands that he is being run for president of the US. I doubt that he would pass the test for a driver’s license and I don’t understand how it is possible for him to be a candidate for president of the US.
OLD GUY says
Sarsewer, yep and the name is fitting, she needs to crawl back into the filthy sewer she crawled out of. Can’t believe the DNC put her. Goes to show that politicians will do anything for dollars and a few votes. Questions: Who is controlling and steering the ship, we know it isn’t Sleepy Joe? So who are we voting for? At least the Republicans know who’s in charge, TRUMP.
Robert Coats says
She looks just like one of the “Goons” from the old Pop-Eye cartoons…

Thank you for posting the link. I noticed the statement “CAIR does not support one candidate or political party over another.”
Anybody else find that statement unbelievable?

Yes–thanks for that link, PRCS.
tgusa says
Joe didn’t say this one of his hundred or so spokespersons did. Joe is the Charlie McCarthy of presidential candidates.
“We oppose any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel,”
But of course that all depends on the party of liars meaning of unfairly.
Richard Terrell says
Who cares what Biden thinks. He will be controlled behind the scenes if elected.
