Alan Dershowitz says he will testify against Hagel

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

The guy who helped O.J. get away with murder goes to Breitbart's goons for an interview and to bash the president's pick:
--

But this is not a liberal-conservative split or a Democrat-Republican split. Nor is it about whether Hagel used the term "Israel lobby" or "Jewish lobby," for me. It's all about Iran. And I think that's a serious policy issue.
And I have been approached to testify, possibly, about it. And if asked, I will testify against Hagel's nomination--on the issue of Iran.

(I'm not giving them a link, BTW)

Oh, and remember when Dershowitz said Media Matters would be the single biggest factor in costing Obama re-election?
That was hilarious.

1. Dershowitz has slipped off the curb...

Lost my respect for his several years ago.

2. Same here..

especially when he started appearing on Fox stating teabaggers themes...

I use to admire him. bought his books...was mesmorized by every argument he presented as I thought it was insightful wisdom.

That was back then....

Don't know why he lost his center.

I'm soooo disappointed.

16. He used to write interesting books.

That I read when I was in law school.
Specifically, "The Best Defense".

He has slipped so far.

3. Dershowitz is VERY pro-Israel. VERY. eom

[riverwalker]

5. he's disgusting

his twisted advocacy for torture immediately after 9/11 paved the way for Abu Ghraib.
I will never forget listening to that scum on evening news, calmly discussing the many benefits of torture, while millions of Americans were having dinner. He gave it an acceptance, an evil banality.

7. Since when does a foreign country have a say in a cabinet nomination?

[madrchsod]

8. the same reason the Vatican has a say in our country.....

[Jennicut]

12. it's ridiculous, isn't it?

[Agschmid]

15. Yes.

I have been thinking about it all day. The position is for Secretary of Defense for... wait for it... The United States. You would think it would be a priority for him to have OUR defense as his top interest.

That being said I understand how Middle East stability is important as a function of US security. But this has been ridiculous so far.

9. a fruitcake

how would he testify?

[GoneOffShore]

10. There's a word for that - Schmuck. n/t

[11 Bravo]

13. Why the Hell would Dershowitz be asked to testify regarding a cabinet nomination?

Someone's a little full of himself.

17. Allan, don’t turn your back to your new right wing extremist friends....

one day they’ll come looking for you. Take it from a Jewish Brother these guys have no fucking love for us, they just want to hold on to Israel until the savior is safe and sound. They then will turn their hate on us!!! Fast....

[leftynyc]

18. Amen

When republicans ask me - election after election - why Jews continue to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. I tell them we're smart enough to know the Christian right's love for Israel in no way extends to the Jews.

19. Alan Dershowitz can go fuck himself!

He's not fooling anybody.
