I received enough literature from the candidates and their supporters during the primary process to wallpaper the White House. I got calls from their campaigns. I voted in the Democratic primary. At NO time did anyone, except Lieberman's supporters themselves, make reference to his judaism. At NO time did any of the candidates say anything derogatory about his faith. At NO time did any columnist, democratic pundit, or even any "letter to the editor" I recall EVER make a negative reference to Lieberman's faith. Lieberman HIMSELF has made no such claim, and nor have any prominent Jewish Democrats.

In fact, the most vocal people who seem to think Lieberman's faith played a role in his losing the primary nomination are extreme right commentators such as Limbaugh and Hannity. Accusing the Democratic Party of antisemitism simply because its members didn't automatically nominate someone just because they are a minority is as ridiculous as accusing YOUR party of racism for not nominating Keyes in 2000.
That's funny because Kerry specifically said in the primary debates that Lieberman's religious belief would be an insurmountable hurdle to overcome in the race for the presidency. Lieberman acknowledged it and agreed.

Btw, Im not a Republican and have voted for more independant/democrats than I have for Republicans. Just a side note before you jump off the deep end of assumption.
