We all remember when Cynthia McKinney lost her congressional seat to another black woman. McKinney’s father came right out and said it was because of the J-E-W-S, Jooooos.

Now we have a congressional campaign in Tennessee where a Jewish man is the incumbent and the person running against him is an African American.

Take a look at an ad that was put out by a “preacher” not even in the district:

Now, most Jews don’t believe Jesus is the Messiah, but that doesn’t equate to hating Jesus.

Circulated by an African-American minister from Murfreesboro Tenn., which isn’t even in Cohen’s district, the literature encourages other black leaders in Memphis to “see to it that one and ONLY one black Christian faces this opponent of Christ and Christianity in the 2008 election.”

The flier was sent out by an African-American minister to try to defeat Rep. Cohen. Cohen’s main opponent in the August 5 Democratic primary in his predominantly African-American district is Nikki Tinker, who is black. The Commercial Appeal wrote an editorial in Wednesday’s paper condemning Tinker for not speaking out against the anti-Semitic literature.

“What does Nikki Tinker think about anti-Semitic literature being circulated that might help her unseat 9th District Congressman Steve Cohen in the Democratic primary next August?” the editorial asked. “The question goes to the character of the woman who wants to represent the 9th District, and 9th District voters deserve an answer. But Tinker declined to return a phone call about the flier.”

Indeed it goes to the challenger’s character.

In Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech he said he dreamed of an American where people would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

He must be spinning in his grave today.

I just wonder why so many Jews are Democrats when it is the Republican party that has always been their friend and the friend of Israel.

Mr. Cohen, join the Republican party and we will welcome you.
