White House Distances Itself From Top Dem Think Tank CAP Over ThinkProgress Bloggers Using Anti-Semitic Language, Calls It “Troubling”…
Someone just got thrown under the bus. At the end of the day this is nothing but lip service to please Jewish voters, the White House is so intertwined with the Center for American Progress it would be next to impossible to separate the two.
BERLIN — The media firestorm unleashed by allegedly anti- Semitic bloggers at a prominent think tank affiliated with the US Democratic Party resulted Thursday in a White House Jewish affairs official terming the situation at the Center for American Progress to be “troubling.”
According to a Washington Post online article on Thursday, Jarrod Bernstein, the new White House liaison with the Jewish community, told Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, that what was unfolding at CAP was “troubling,” and, “that [the attitude toward Israel at the think tank] is not this administration.”
The Washington Post wrote that the Cooper met last week with Bernstein to convey the Wiesenthal Center’s worries about CAP’s hostility toward Israel and American supporters of the Jewish state.
CAP is a Washington-based policy organization that serves as a source of Middle East ideas for President Barack Obama and the party.
Zaid Jilani had blogged for the Center for American Progress’s ThinkProgress website; he used Twitter to call US supporters of the Jewish state “Israel Firsters” and compared Israel to the former apartheid regime in South Africa.
A CAP employee who said her name was Amanda told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday that Jilani was no longer employed by ThinkProgress.

Same as Botox Nan distancing the Dims from OWS?
IMO
If you are Jewish and you have not caught on to the fact that Barry has done everything in his power to endanger Israel and Jewish people around the world.
Then you probably will not get it.
I wish you the best of Luck.
“I wish you the best of Luck.”
I hope those JINOs suffer …
faith tradition traitors..
Doesn’t John Podesta still chair the Center for American Progress?
Chairman Obama is the most anti Israel president ever.
He is a pathological liar. He will say anything to get re elected.
If Hussein is reelected the joooooz are doomed.

Podesta founded and is currently President of the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank in Washington, D.C. In addition to his work at American Progress, Podesta is currently a Visiting Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, where he has taught classes on Congressional investigations and technology law and policy. He is also a member of the Constitution Project’s bipartisan Liberty and Security Committee.[8]

Podesta co-founded the Center for American Progress (CAP) on July 7, 2003, and would serve as the organization’s president and CEO for the next eight years. He was hand-picked for the job by CAP co-founders George Soros and Morton H. Halperin, according to a March 1, 2004 report in The Nation by Robert Dreyfuss. Inside sources described CAP as “the official Hillary Clinton think tank” — a media spin machine and policy generator designed to serve as a springboard for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential ambitions.
Podesta was a featured speaker at the March 2008 “Take Back America” conference of Campaign for America’s Future, where he declared that global warming was a “severe national security problem” that President Bush had failed to address in any meaningful way.
Podesta also has served as an Independent Advisory Council member of the notoriously corrupt community organization ACORN
After Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, Podesta and at least ten additional CAP experts served as some of his most influential advisers. He was the head of the new President’s transiton team.
Horseshit. They gave CAP the language from Jay Carney’s office!!
