"The NYPost
obtained video from a recent RFK Jr. event where he suggested COVID is a Chinese bioweapon “ethnically targeted” to “attack Caucasians and Black people” and to spare “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” people. He then falsely claimed the U.S. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on labs in Ukraine to develop similar bioweapons that target people by their race."
He stated that the Jews were the masterminds who designed it at the Chinese lab. It’s been a conspiracy theory for a long time now.
Whenever you hear some nut job blame ANYTHING on "the Jews," that person is either an antiSemite, a raging conspiracist, or mentally deranged.
I think RFK, Jr., is all three.
He's a disgrace to the Kennedy name.

A troubled confused soul.
Yes. He experienced childhood trauma. That stays with a person his/her entire life.
He saw his father's assassination on television.
I just looked at the Wikipedia article on him. He seems like a normal Democrat until you get to the vaccination conspiracy theory paragraphs. Then he turns into a complete nut job.
"Kennedy was a founding board member of the Food Allergy Initiative. His son suffers from anaphylactic peanut allergies. Kennedy wrote the foreword to The Peanut Allergy Epidemic, in which he and the authors falsely link increasing food allergies in children to certain vaccines that were approved beginning in 1989."
I'd bet this guy gets Russian support.
Same with Cornell West. Trump and Russia need to chip away Biden's voters.
He seems to be gaining steam, not because he is competent but the other choice is clearly not. Better of two incompetent politicians is not much of a choice. There are a lot of people who are anti vax and falsi didn't do the belief in vaccinations much good. The dems have a difficult path when 73% of Americans don't want the current president to run and the VP makes him look bright.
On the republican side 34% want trump to run so both parties have decisions to make. I believe the country would rather have saint joey the incompetent over trump the narcissist. Maybe vivek can pull one out which would be good for the country.
Ms. Shaw, Hope the weather didn't affect your get-a-way.
Anyone who pulls back on US global military reach into foreign territory would receive kudos fom Russia and many others.
Our wise founders counseled against foreign entanglements.
Unfortunately, we have failed to heed their wise advise. Looking at our involvement in conflcts since the end of WW II it is clear President DDE's warnings about the developing MIC went unheeded as well. And, here we are. It is in the financial interests of defense contractors and the military to remain actively engaged to some degree in conflicts acroaa the globe. And frankly, our American tax payer dollars should be better spent improving the lives of our people than spending it on foreign conflicts. Alliances do have a negative component. Involving countries in conflicts they were initially not a part of.
Whatever happened to the liberal 1960's and early 1970's American anti war movement?
So, skud, you didn't refer to RFK, Jr.'s antiSemetic statement? History teaches us that when any prominent pol starts blaming "the Jews" for something, anything, that politician is pandering to the WORST of the worst in our population.
Your constant labeling President Biden as incompetent is at odds with his many, many accomplishments and the FACT that no country in Europe (or anywhere he's traveled in his presidency) has flown an inflated balloon mocking him. That happened to Trump, and he was humiliated when populations in countries that value truth and competency mocked him.
This DID NOT HAPPEN to President Biden. And that's for a reason, which you dutifully ignore.
Ms. Shaw, I though you may come back having something else than hate trump but that didn't happen. Still waiting for all those accomplishments to be spelled out other than the I'll just buy votes. This is being expanded with student debt cancellation which favors the rich but cost the middle class and all taxpayers. Isn't there any form of creative thinking, like lower the interest on student loans, putting in community service to pay off some of your debt, go into law enforcement to make a difference. I guess that requires to much thinking and won't buy enough votes so it is out.
As to your RFK, Jr and his antisemetic views I thought you would be fine with you because that is a democrat mantra which he seems to adhere to.
Leslie, your post is contradictory. Start by saying pulling back would receive russian approval then the blurb about staying out of other countries affairs.
Why all Bold
skuddie ole buddy...
Please reread my comment and if you would be so kind as to point out the contradiction i would appreciate it.
I've been in Buddhist retreat on natural awareness so maybe my mind hasn't fully returned to the mundane world.
Thank you in advance.
Namaste
Skud,
You can go off the rails sometimes, but it is as absurd as it is ignorant to say Democrats are antisemitic.
So you believe it was DEMOCRATS that paraded with tiki torches saying, "Jews will not replace us"?
You sound as crazed as white supremacists whining they are the "real victims" of racism.
Why would Jews overwhelming VOTE for Democrats over Republicans?
But never mind.
I know you won't support your statement with real evidence, but, wow. Just wow. Can we expect you to next declare anyone who doesn't love Trump hates America?
So skud, Shaw pointed out factual events and yet you say that's hate? Hmmm.... I'm thinking it's not Shaw who is fixated on the former guy.
Please explain your statement "As to your RFK, Jr and his antisemetic views I thought you would be fine with you because that is a democrat mantra which he seems to adhere to."
Aside from sliming everyone here (and don't you dare say later this is your very poor attempt at humor) as antisemites, as the Democratic Party is a big tent where everyone is welcome, even posers like RFK, Jr, please explain how hatred is a Democratic trait when it's the GOP who is banning humans and ideas that offend them.
You skud live in an alternate reality, no drugs required. Dr Fauci saved millions of lives and for that you vilify him. The Old Country hated Trump and flew Trump in a diaper blimps when he visited, something that didn't happen to our current President. When Shaw points this out you accuse her of hatred.
For the record I'm not an antisemite. I am anti stupid something you exhibit with every comment. I believe you are a cultist skud and based on your constant sliming, not worth my time anymore.
We're back in BOLD again!
Anyway, this is for skud who thinks that President Biden is incompetent and has accomplished nothing:
Annual inflation hit 3% in June, the lowest since March 2021, a sign that the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes are having an impact, though it will likely have to take even more action. -- NPR
Since the Trumpists blamed Biden for inflation, they shouldn't they give him credit for inflation hitting the lowest numbers since March 2021?
NOTE: Inflation was a worldwide phenomenon, not due to President Biden, but the worldwide pandemic. We're seeing unprecedented profits in corporate America because of the richy richies making the American people pay more for EVERYTHING because they can, and the American people, like skud, will blame Biden and not the disgusting greed of the corporatists.
As usual, Biden haters ignore his massive infrastructure bill, but the governors and senators in the Trumpista Party who railed and voted against it, are now taking credit for the good that bill is doing to the economies in their Republican states. Hypocrites of the first order.
Biden expanded benefits for toxic-exposed veterans.
Biden administration delivered to almost 16 million Americans lower high speed internet connectivity through the Affordable Connectivity Program.
Biden rallied the world to support Ukraine as it fought Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine's sovereign land.
Biden's administration has the two strongest years of job growth in American history.
Biden's administration saw 750,000 NEW manufacturing jobs created.
Biden administration oversaw $15/hr min. wage for federal workers and contractors.
Biden administration fully vaccinated 79% of the American people against COVID.
Biden administration put in place programs to get shots into people's arms. The Trump admin. got the vaccines done in record time, but had absolutely nothing in place to get the vaccines in people's arms. Biden did that.
Under Biden administration, near record low in unemployment for African-Americans and Latinos.
There's more, but people like skud pretend none of that is accomplishing anything.
And getting the free world to support Ukraine's fight against the butcher Putin, counts as being incompetent? No one. NOT ONE RATIONAL PERSON, would agree with that statement.
In 2017, during TRUMP'S first year in office, we saw white supremacists boldly marching in Charlottesville, SC, shouting "JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!" And a few days later Trump said they were "very nice people."
Jewish Americans have seen the rise in antisemitism since then.
A very prominent US Congresswoman, MT Greene, blamed Jews for forest fires because, said the idiot Congresswoman, they started those fires with space lasers!
Skud accused Democrats of antisemitism without a shred of evidence. And he's dead wrong.
As Grey One talks sass pointed out: A HEALTHY MAJORITY of American Jews support the Democratic Party not the Trumpublican Party. That's a fact.
Skud needs to back up his statements with evidence and facts. He never does.
PS. I don't believe for a minute that skud is antisemitic, nor a racist. I just think he writes things without doing any research to see if those things are true.
Who knows what Skud's motives are?
It often seems like nothing more than toying with us to see what "triggers".
As with Trumpers, rational, evidence-supported discourse appears to be of little interest to him.
At least SOMETHING about Trump disagrees with him.
Maybe Skud is an ardent admirer, or advisor to Kevin McCarthy?
"Several House Democrats have a long history of anti-semitic remarks. It is absolutely unacceptable."
He always falls for GOP trope that condemning the Israeli radical Right is "antisemitic".
Dems are pushing back on Rep. Pramila Jayapal's comment on the Israeli leadership.
Note she is NOT referring to the Jewish people.
“As somebody who’s been in the streets and participated in a lot of demonstrations, I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us, that it does not even feel possible,” she said.
Jayapal sought to clarify her remarks on Sunday, saying she does not “believe the idea of Israel as a nation is racist” and offering an apology to “those who I have hurt with my words.”
She added: “I do, however, believe that (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government has engaged in discriminatory and outright racist policies and that there are extreme racists driving that policy within the leadership of the current government.”
Looking forward to his justification or clarification. Yes, it is essentially "Waiting for Godot".
RFK, Jr.'s family is appalled at his stupid remarks about the Jews:
"Kerry Kennedy rebukes brother RFK Jr. after he linked Covid-19 and Jewish people
A report on Saturday quoted RFK Jr., a Democratic presidential contender, as saying Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and that Jewish people are most immune."
WASHINGTON — Kerry Kennedy, a sister of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., lambasted her brother in a brief statement Monday after a report that quoted him as saying Covid-19 was "targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people" and that Jewish people are most immune.
"I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting," Kerry Kennedy said in a statement released by the non-profit group Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights where she serves as president.
"His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+-year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination," she added.
On Saturday, the New York Post published an article that included a video that appeared to show Kennedy speaking at a dinner in Manhattan about bioweapons and "ethnically targeted microbes" in which he claimed that "Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately."
Ms. Shaw,
I answered in another post about the saint joey economic plan. During the rise of inflation he said it was not his fault and he was not to blame but as soon as it is coming down he take credit. Seems to be contradictory don't you think. It is like there were one million layoff during covid but we have added 750,000 so I am great.
HS internet expansion to rural areas was started under king barry so saint joey b can't take credit for that. At least one of your guys gets credit. Supporting a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour is a two sided sword. People make more to buy items that cost more which is actually a losing proposition but sounds good.
If you believe democrats are not antisemitic look at cortez, tlaib, omar, pressley and their statements about Israel and why hasn't saint joey invited netanyahu to the oval office if he is pro Israel.
Skud is being a Republican AGAIN, with his false equivalence of condemning the Israeli Right as "antisemitism".
Biden HAS Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the White House. Netanyahu is the Trump of Israel.
Skud's own standards would make criticizing Trump or Biden as "anti-American".
Biden has made clear that pandemic induced inflation was GLOBAL. His pals on the Right blame him alone for GLOBAL inflation.
Why does Skud hate America?
Jayapal is an interesting example. Whatever she said, some Dems found it offensive. And pretty quickly a group of them stepped up and confronted her about that.
Contrast that with the GOP. When something similar happens, we hear, "I'm not aware of that". "I haven't read the remarks", "I wasn't there", "I've been busy" and more.
Why do Dems deal with problems from other members, witness this instance and Sen Franken, while the GOP frequently claims ignorance?
just askin'...

I would guess unlike Republicans, Dems feel a need to demonstrate virtue. In politics virtue doesn't sell, or get votes.
Republicans know this. Lies, anger, blame, scapegoating and hate now bind their ideology and voters. Their leaders demand loyalty, not accountability.
Because of evangelicals, Israel has become a third rail, a "sacred cow" that cannot be criticized. Trump is their new sacred cow.
