Manus never stated anything about the south, anti-semitism, or what party anti-semites side with.  Actually his post never even includes those words in general.  His entire argument was that not all democrats are liberals and not all republicans are conservatives.  Party distinction does not conclude ideology basically.  He simply used a state in particular as example.  How sound his argument is not necessarily great as he did make an assumption about your argument. 

If I am not mistaken, earlier in this thread Kasz made the connection that Liberals were opposed to Israel and used the Democrat and Republican percentages as proof.

Thanks for clearing my point up, I didnt do it that well myself.  Not all Democrats are liberal and not all Republicans are Consrvative.  If you want to draw such a pointed conclusion about the two ideologies, using party lines wont get you there.

He did say such things, but he never made a blatant distinction that ideology is tied to party affiliation.  Although, I will say it was strongly hinted at, but never directly stated in this argument.  Thus assuming it would be a fallacy of course.

But I'm just simply making sure that everyone has a fair chance.  Can't stand arguments that consist of things that become more personal rather than about the issues.  I was quite surprised to see such a response to your statement as it clearly had nothing to do with anything that had been stated and one of the most blatant straw mans I've seen in awhile.  Oh well I suppose.  It seems, though, both of you have common ground on this issue though so I'm curious why neither has decided to embrace it.
