How AIPAC, the Israeli lobby, set an El Paso Democrat right!

Congressman O'Rourke was one of the few who voted against an aid package to Israel following this summer's Gaza war. Overwhelmed by the swift avalanche of Jewish criticism, the young man won't ever make the same 'mistake' again.

It took only one wrong vote to teach a freshman Democrat from Texas how sensitive, and even wrathful, the Jewish community can be when it comes to Israel.
But the real story of what happened to Rep. Beto O’Rourke did not stop with the angry reaction he got when he cast one of only eight votes in Congress against special funding for Israel’s Iron Dome rocket defense system during the recent Gaza war.

That sucks. When someone does something right, they get beat down until they make sure not to do it again. Sad.

Everyone who supports fiscal responsibility, spending cuts, and peace in the Middle East is an anti-Semite. That's Poliboard 101. Try to keep up.

The reactions, as Bruck reported, included a mass email blast labeling O’Rourke as “an anti-Israel congressman” and denouncing his vote as “shameful.” Critical local press coverage included a public comment by one of his own Jewish donors to the El Paso Times that in voting as he did, O’Rourke “chooses to side with the rocket launchers and terror tunnel builders” of Hamas.
The horror
No other pac does this when a vote doesn't go their way. Also, Fox and Msnbc do this to a different politician twice an hour.
