First mistake: NJDC is not AIPAC and the fact that people here are of the Jewish faith doesn’t require one to dedicate the better part of his time to Israel. Edwards opened his remarks by delving immediately into his I’m-such-a-great-supporter-of-Israel act, but the crowed was unconvinced. They know he supports Israel – to the extent that he does – like all other candidates. They want to hear something more special. So what was it that caught the crowd’s attention? They cheered Edwards – who had a decent but not great speech – three times. Once when he called for withdrawal from Iraq, a second time when he started talking about Darfur, and a third time when he called to end poverty in America.
Make sure you click through to the part where Edwards blasts Bush for not proposing exactly what Bush is in fact proposing. Or the part where Edwards’s entire Iran strategy relies on Ahmadinejad being indigenously unelected. Or you shouldn’t click through at all, and instead you can just sob quietly into your three lunch martini. And by “you” we mean “we”.
