Hillary supporter Ed Koch wins 4 Monicas for pulling the Israel card, and Farrakhan and Wright, and then saying Obama will lose to McCain

As you may know, we here at AMERICAblog are now awarding Hillary and her team a special prize every time they cross the line of decency and attack Democratic nominee Obama in a way that could hurt his chances against McCain in the fall. Our award is called a "Monica," and the Hillary team member will earn between one and five Monicas, based on the severity of their sleaze. This morning's Monica goes to former NY Mayor Ed Koch.

Hillary supporter Ed Koch is now claiming that since Obama criticized Hillary for saying that if she becomes president she'll "obliterate" Iran in a nuclear fireball (she actually said she'd nuke 'em), this means Obama isn't a friend of Israel. No, Obama just has a problem with indiscriminately nuking millions of innocent men, women and children for a few votes. (In all fairness to Hillary, she was actually for nuking Iran before she was against it, though now, apparently, since she lost the election and is desperate, nuking Iran is back on the agenda. It's so hard to keep track with a Clinton.)

You'd have thought Hillary would have learned her lesson by now - you don't support going to war simply to prove you're a tough guy in the next election. And don't forget, Hillary didn't just say she'd nuke Iran for Israel, she also said she'd nuke Iran if they attacked Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries in the region. Yes, Hillary is willing to start a nuclear war for Jordan, and for the despots in Saudi Arabia. Think about that. I'm not too sure a nuclear war on Israel's border is the best way to guarantee Israel's long-term survival.

Koch goes on to mention Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Wright, and then says that we can't trust Obama to defend America against Islamic terrorists. Way to go, Hillary, that should help our party a lot in the fall against McCain when our nominee, Barack Obama, has to take on John McCain. But then again, you don't really care about the fall election, do you? Oh, and just a few days ago, Koch said outright that Obama will lose in the fall to McCain. Nice, very nice, Hillary.

So, we award Hillary supporter Ed Koch, who's obviously doing this at Hillary's request, 4 Monicas for trying to destroy Democratic nominee Obama's support in the Jewish community vis-a-vis McCain in the fall, for dredging up Farrakhan and Rev. Wright, and for outright telling the world that our nominee can't win. Remember, McCain has Lieberman claiming that McCain is better for Israel (and American Jews), so Koch's words, Hillary' strategy, could seriously damage Obama in the fall with a key Democratic constituency (American Jews support Obama over McCain 2-1, but that doesn't mean Hillary won't try to change that). But Hillary doesn't care, and neither do our congressional leaders, the DNC, or the superdelegates. They'll let Hillary's fairy tale drag out for another month in order to keep Hillary happy because, you know, she's very fragile.
