Headlines like that one used to be antisemitic. Fox seems to be using it as a selling point. Here's the Fox story's lead:
As Barack Obama continues to absorb accusations that he is not
committed to maintaining America's staunch support for Israel,
knowledgeable Democrats have leaked word that he is considering a
well-known, pro-Israeli Jewish congressman to be his chief of staff if
elected.

And all thru the story, it's a virtue to be Pro-Isrul. I say it again: the religious right is over. It's the religious left the media should be covering. I wonder whether Emanuel's elevation, should it occur, will get the dual-loyalty issue back in play. In 2006 Kyra Phillips of CNN, bless her heart, asked a Jewish kid from Long Island who was going off to fight for Israel why he wasn't joining the U.S. military. Well can that question be asked of Emanuel going off to fight for or serve Israel during Gulf War?
