More distortions from Dave Duke from Duke's website (/general/
3603_3603.html)

Duke writes:

__________
On March 18, in Washington, D.C. three official representatives of the
Obama, Clinton and McCain campaigns came before Jewish leaders and
promised their candidate's complete subservience to Israel. The three
representatives that spoke were Lawrence Eagleburger for McCain, Ann
Lewis for Clinton, and Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. Ambassador to
Israel, for Obama.

The Washington Post (Audacity of Chutzpah, Dana Milbank, March 18,
2008) quotes Ann Lewis as saying:

"The role of the President of the United States is to support the
decisions that are made by the people of Israel."

Neither McCain's nor Obama's official representatives dared to object
to this absurdly un-American statement, and they simply continued to
argue to maintain that their own candidate would be the most
subservient to Israel's extreme agendas.

Duke lies and takes the discussion and washington article out of
context
The washington post article is here for anyone to see for themselves

The real conversation (opposed to Duke's lies)

"Next question to Kurtzer: Obama's assertion that he needn't have a
Likud view -- that of Israel's right-wing party -- to be pro-Israel.
Kurtzer explained that Obama wanted to see a "plurality of views."
Silence in the room. To that, Lewis retorted: "The role of the
president of the United States is to support the decisions that are
made by the people of Israel. It is not up to us to pick and choose
from among the political parties." The audience members applauded."

Ann's statement wasn't Unamerican. She stated clearly that the role of
our president is to support the democratic political election
decisions made by the people of Israel. She clearly states thats its
not up to us (Americans) to choose from among their political parties.
Duke took her partial statement out of context to create his neo-nazi
propoganda.
