I'm a little confused here. Is Daily Kos a Jewish blog? It seems like when someone (other than a Jew) says something about Jews or Israel or AIPAC they get pretty well trashed by the Jewish Lobby here on Kos and Troll Rated. In reading the diary "The AIPAC tendency at DK." this morning, it looks to me like this phenomenon is working at full steam. Is this right Marcos? Do you want this happening on your excellent blog? Should the "Jewish Lobby" here on DK have the right to silence critics simply by Troll Rating them?

It looks like one strategy is to swamp the "offending" diary with hundreds of junk comments so no one else will bother to read through the few intelligent comments, hence blocking the original question or statement to intelligent discourse. Granted the original diary ("The AIPAC tendency at DK.") equated AIPAC to the Jewish Lobby and that is NOT true but it is a common misconception. I resent that AIPAC uses its powerful influence to shape US policy toward Israel in a way that doesn't seem to be in America's (U.S.) best interests. And it seems to me that there is a conspiracy, here on Dkos anyway, to shout down anyone who questions the power of the right wing Zionist/christian lobby here in the U.S. They use the excuse that it is anti-semitic and they are worked up (conveniently) about this and upset. So is the rule that anything that upsets a Jew must be inflamatory and anti-semitic by definition? Could it be that a person who cry's "anti-semitism" is like the boy who cried "Wolf"?
