 :Well it kind of sums up what's wrong with this article doesn't it?  First is gives a special, antisemitic definition of ""Jewish lobby,"" then accuses the term of being antisemitic. Jeepers we wonder why nobody noticed nor complained!  Oh! and slop on plenty of weasel words to boot: ""at times self-described,"" ""is viewed as"" ""it can be"" ""or may constitute"" Please! Can you name one word that can NOT be perceived as pejorative? Please! How about a little intellectual discipline and honesty here?  Here's a little clue for the few of you Jews who are all-too-often over-sensitive, shrill twits over-guarding your reputation (and prolly sites like this one). Just because some Americans are pissed off at the hugely powerful AIPAC's policies (probably the standard, or most common meaning of ""Jewish lobby,"" but most people don't know that word) does NOT imply antisemitism. I'm guessing most people are pissed of at the Jewish lobby for the same reason we are pissed of at the Tea Party — You guys are leading Congress around like it had a ring in it's nose and the rest of us (IE; moderate or balanced (U.S-centric) policy) can go to Hell. Grow up, and smell the concrete. There are real reasons for concern. Focus on pet boogey men like ""a Commie under every bush,"" or on reality, —your choice.    Doug Bashford"
