-
- That is what he thought, or at least was afraid of. That has no
- bearing at all on whether or not it was true. It was based on fear
- and emotion. Mr. Katz had know way of knowing for sure.

-
- Actually, AIPAC is an America interest group. Just because you
- disagree with its aims does not mean it is not. And how dare you
- claim its members do not have allegiance to this country and its
- constitution. Are you trottting out the old double loyalty canard?

-
- Fine. Then vote them out if you do not like it. However, do not
- play McCarthy with those you disagree with.

-
- # I hardly need to make up a lobbying group to express my opinion
- # that a major part of our problem is lobbying groups.
-
- It is not a matter of making up lobbying groups to express an
- opinion. The point, as YOU have made it, is the effect of lobbying
- groups on policy making. Therfore, why not start your own? You are
- free to do so.
-
- # And regardless of
- # who likes it or not, I am free to speak out against the abuse of powers
- # by special interest groups, of which AIPAC is just one
-
- As far as I know, even ass-holes like you are free to speak out,
- so nobody trying to deny you this.
-
- # although it is
- # a powerful one, which are so damaging to the best interests of this
- # nation.
-
- It is a weak lobby. It may be adamaging to the US, although I
- doubt it. At any rate, even if so, how dare you impugn upon the
- motives of its members? Maybe they are just wrong, not unpatriotic.
-
- By the way, the only real lobby that does what you claimis the
- Japanese.
-
- # Frankly, I am tired of government by lobby and special interest
- # group. If being a loyal citizen who would like to see government restored
- # to the people is a crime, then I plead guilty. If you prefer government
- # by lobby, fine.
-
- What I prefer is not at issue. What is at issue is your
- Mccarthyism and your desire to take away certain freedoms like
- political organization from American citizens.

- There are three types of people in the world. Those that are good
