Think Progress � Schumer Says It ‘Makes Sense’ To ‘Strangle [Gaza] Economically’ Until It Votes The Way Israel Wants

That's It, Chuckie, You Lost My Vote

Earlier today Digby posted about some very obnoxious positions Schumer's taken on the finanancial legislation (and the likely reasons why). If that isn't a deal breaker for me, this most certainly is.

No way will I vote for that schmuck again. Bigotry is bigotry, and no Democrat has any business trucking in it for any reason, let alone to court votes from the far right. For Schumer to compound the offense by couching that bigotry in the language of elimationism is simply beyond the pale. The last thing we need is a Democratic senator playing the race card as enthusiastically as Rand Paul or Trent Lott.
