Jewish Rep. Cohen Battles Antisemitism and Racism In Re-Election
If you thought race was an uncomfortable issue in the Democratic presidential primary, wait 'til you get a load of what's going on in the Democratic primary in the Memphis area's 9th District of Tennessee, where a shockingly worded flier paints Jewish Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) as a Jesus hater.
"Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen and the JEWS HATE Jesus," blares the flier, which Cohen himself received in the mail -- inducing gasps -- last week.
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.

This kind of shit happens every election year, everywhere. Hell, one of these flyers in South Carolina lost McCain a primary in 2000 and pretty much started a chain reaction that led to W becoming president. I don't see how PJ not playing Bonarroo would change anything.
absolutely NOTHING! lmao.

Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Instead of boycotting, they can use the stage at Bonnaroo to speak out against anything they choose.
As a Jew, I am happy that he called us Jesus haters, as opposed to christ killers!
that is a very disturbing little video there.....

This is a stupid thread
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
