Cracks - The always-tempestuous relationship

Cracks - The always-tempestuous relationship between Black and Jewish Democrats took another big hit during this past primary season, with Jewish PACs lining up to unseat Georgia's Cynthia McKinney and Alabama's Earl Hilliard for their support of Palestinian causes.

"People were talking retaliation," said Ron Walters, the director of the African American Leadership Institute at the University of Maryland, of last week's CBC events in Washington. "They were saying [presidential hopeful] Sen. Joe Lieberman is dead in the water, and so on and so forth."
I've learned not to put too much stock or hope in such reports - but if that alliance cracks, it's about time.
