Wow. And even as recently as Webb's election to the Senate, they were going after his campaign for doing a cartoon of his opponent for having a large nose. Of course, the interesting part of that claim is that unlike Silberman, his opponent really did have a long nose and a side-by-side with his photo showed that it was in proportion.

Yeah, I think this goes a little too far. I don't know that's it's specifically anti-semitic, but it's tasteless since it can be taken that way without much thought.

I gotta say it is pretty odd. Most caricatures grossly exagerate the features, so sometimes it can be hard to tell. But in this case, it's likely they completely ignored what he looked like, using a standard stereotype instead. I mean, a proper caricature would have made fun of his ears (which are a bit bigger) and baldness, but those two features are ignored, in favor of a big nose and lips.

Alls I knows is that Silberman and Smokin' Doug finally gave old Porky from Texas the heave ho in a high-profile case in which old Porky went, or so it seemed to me, to great lengths to excoriate certain Jewish attorneys in a certain federal agency.

But what do I know?

Funny. He doesn't look Jewish.

Of course it's anti-semitic. Over the last decade, the antisemitism of the Left has become more and more evident.

Actually, when I clicked on the link to find this picture I expected much worse. I actually think your grainy photo does more of a disservice to Judge Silberman than the cartoon, which depicts a pretty handsome guy (certainly by the standards of the judiciary).

I don't see anti-semitism but I bet Judge Silberman would take umbrage as being depicted as a Lefty!

The cartoon actually looks like someone else. No similarity. But the suggstion of ethnicity does come through. I wonder where they got the cartoon figure ? It's probably not original.

When I saw the cartoon, it looked like a familiar actor- Jerry Orbach. It doesn't look a thing like Judge Silberman.

Am I the only one who thinks the pock-marked disc behind him strongly resembles a matzah?

Heh. Ask him what he thinks of it and he will probably say he just wishes he had that much hair!

"Am I the only one who thinks the pock-marked disc behind him strongly resembles a matzah?"

I hate to get paranoid, but it does look uncommonly like a home-made circular one. And what else could the animator have had in mind? Do judges customarily have large, round, pock-marked objects glued to their office walls?

You don't imagine Brady Campaign hired a skinhead for the animation?

Looks more to me like a) they've never seen the guy b) he has no distinct features on which to characterize, the guy looks pretty... bland.

Also, I have a very itchy trigger finger when it comes to antisemitism, and I just don't see it in the cartoon since the nose looks less like a hook (read, jewish) and more like a goy's skiramp and most antisemites probably wouldn't know a matzah from those giant sea toast crackers.

Let me point out something else: This is the first time I've ever seen a leftist organization COMPLAIN about treating the Constitution as a "Living Document".
Evidently it's all a matter of whose hands the red marker is in when it crosses out sections of text in the Bill Of Rights.

And yeah, to me it does look like a Semitic charactiture.

Acting in good taste is something that the Brady Bunch has never been accused of.
