1. Buh-bye
Chatich   (02.13.10)
Don't let the door hit you in your big fat anti-semitic ass on your way out. May this be the fate of every last [useful] idiot in western politics. Galloway, goldstone, mckinney, your turn is coming...
2. Jenny Tonge
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.13.10)
She is not a Democrat but a Liberalo Fascista,she has a Hitlerite tongue.
3. unacceptable comments?, no disgusting
Hercules Poirot ,   UK   (02.13.10)
Hooray!, the Tonge was Tonged....! Not an anti-semite, or a racist ? Agreed, she is much worst, and unprintable.
4. Deja vu
La Cumparsita ,   London UK   (02.13.10)
Deja vu I'm afraid. Years ago when "Bomber" Tonge empathised with suicide bombers there was a similar row, and the then LibDem leadership dismissed her as their Health Spokesman in the Commons. Yet not long afterwards, LibDem leader Charles Kennedy made her a Baroness, so she continues to spout her vitriol in the House of Lords instead. This dismissal means nothing. It is just the very least he could do and in my view, may be connected to the vast number of e mails Clegg & many LibDem MPs have been receiving on this issue.
5. Jenny with a Tongue got caught with the pants down and naked
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.13.10)
for all to see the liar she is
6. Baroness
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (02.13.10)
WOW, I guess there are some level headed people around after all. It was shameful and disgusting what she said, and for even believing that we harvested organs from Haitians when we went there to help them
7. Tonge
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.13.10)
Wonderful news. She desreved to get the boot.
8. Good riddance. Keep your tonge out of it
Esther ,   London   (02.13.10)
ps.. such an unfortunate surname...
9. Racist, anti-semitic or pro-Palestinian?
Takan ,   Elat   (02.13.10)
Miss Jenny said of the Palestinian suicide bombers in 2004: "If I had to live in that situation, I might just consider becoming one myself." In 2006 she said that "The pro-Israeli lobby has got its financial grips on the western world” She never apologized. In 2008 she was one of those who broke the sea blockade by sailing to Gaza. Last year she called for investigations into the alleged Israeli crimes in Operation Cast Lead. For a Liberal Democrat MP, she seems more busy squashing Israel than taking care of British business and interests.
10. Baroness sacked for anti-Israel comments
suzanne schlitt ,   mainz, germany   (02.13.10)
...he does not believe that Jenny Tonge is anti-Semitic or racist. if not - then what is she???
11. Baroness Shows Barrenness
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (02.13.10)
Intellectual barrenness, that is. Good riddance to bad trash, I say. Mouthing the worst kind of paranoid, hateful, antisemitic nonsense earned her half of what she deserves. The rest? Wait for the next election, although rightfully she should be stripped of her office.
12. She's just a product of the British media
Shai ,   NY, USA   (02.13.10)
What do you expect? The British media regarding Israel, is pretty much identical to the German media regarding Jews in WW2. She picks up the British newspapers, watches the BBC, and you expect her not to dislike Jews? If I lived in Britain and was exposed to the garbage the British are exposed to I would hate Jews too (and I'm Jewish!) In Britain, there is an openly antisemitic play called "7 Jewish children" slandering not only Israel, but Jewish people in general. The British people have no problem with this. Bottom line is, she's no different than any other Brit who believes their media isn't lying to them about Israel.
13. Tonge is only the latest symptom of the Unholy Trinity at...
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.13.10)
...work in the UK. Britain has become, sadly, the centre of this Trinity that consists of classic anti-Semites, "progressive" anti-Jewish racists, and 7th century based Islamists. All three elements collaborate regularly in the on-going attempt to demonize Israel and de-legitimize it based on double standards applied to it. Israel, in the eyes of these people, is a substitute for yesteryear's Jew in society and Zionism, the non-violent (not pacifist) national liberation movement of the Jewish people, a substitute for yesteryear's Judaism. Until and unless the British leaders: political, educational, religious and community ones will act upon this illness of their society, they will end up being the losers...
14. Don't let the door hit you...
shmulke ,   w coast, USA   (02.13.10)
...where Hashem split you...
15. If she isn't anti-semitic, than she is dumb.
Leon ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.13.10)
16. If she is Royalty (Titled)
Clive ,   formerly of London   (02.13.10)
then The British Empire is in dire straits. The sun has indeed set over the British Empire and it exists in darkness. If she is a Baroness she disgraces the entire Peerage system.
17. Investigation needed
Ron Morrison ,   TA   (02.13.10)
I can't imagine such a high level politician making ungrounded accusations. THe same accusations were made after the evil incursion into civilian Gaza. It is becoming cliche but cliche's usually have their basis in fact. Look at all the cliche's about haredim. They really do smell bad, they really do leach off of the government, and they really don't do army.
18. LibDem HEALTH think organs can B harvested in earthquake
Alan ,   SA   (02.13.10)
This idiot of a Jewhater is the LIB DEM HEALTH SPOKESWOMAN. She honestly believes that organs can be harvested in the Caribbean in an Earthquake and then be transplanted 6000 miles away. Such is the quality of the SPOKESWOMAN OF HEALTH of Lib Dem Party -a Lady of the NOBILITY _THE UPPER CLASS BARONESS who sits in the HOUSE OF LORDS OF THE UK GOVERNMENT She was born Jennifer Smith but now is ENOBLED as a BARONESS and is clothed in ERMINE!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL
19. Slip of the Tonge....
(02.13.10)
20. Apr 2008 Clegg sed he had slept with no more than 30 Women
Alan ,   SA   (02.13.10)
This is the Leader of the Third Party of Britain.
21. You got it all wrong, Baroness
get real ,   4th reich   (02.13.10)
We first have to finish baking the passover bread, with the blood of the orphans that we captured. :-(
22. Tonge as health spokesperson a bit like President Zuma
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (02.13.10)
who said he has a shower after sleeping with someone who had aids. Her comment on body parts proved she knew about as much as Zuma re health.
23. Shai from NY # 12
Hercules Poirot ,   UK   (02.13.10)
I agree with you. The Brits are for the birds. Their media, their politicians,"7 Jewish children play. Plain disgusting . They should all be Tonged forever
24. TO RON
ARCHIE ,   USA   (02.13.10)
you can't imagine! for a second imagine my ass, now kiss it. what kind of comparison are you making, BOZO!!!
25. History proves you wrong !!
yo   (02.13.10)
- galileo execution - Witch hunt - The Inquisition in Europe - Blood ploys (baseless aqusations of using childrens blood in religious ceremonies) - "zion's Protocols" - another ploy proved a fake, yet believed today by millions of ignorents who never bothered and will never bother to check. Does by saying everyone living in TA are fools, and giving this comment as an example to it, makes an inquiry of the statement neccessary ?
26. #17 Investigation means there is a doubt
Raphael ,   Netanya   (02.13.10)
A cliche based on slander would have a base in fact? 100 billion flies cannot be wrong, so let's eat shit. The poison spread by Aftonbladet is even hitting TA. Same in the arab media: the algerian daily Al Khabat, on sept 6., warned the local population that moroccan gangs were roaming algerian cities, trying to kidnap children to be sent to Morocco to be sold to Jews for organ harvest.
27. JENNY GETS A TONGE LASHING
Lawrence ,   Zefat   (02.13.10)
HEEEEEEERE COMES JENNY.
28. Ron Morrison TA #17:
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.13.10)
You really need to study the history of antisemitism. Try reading George Steiner's essay about what happens when the unspeakable is printed and published over and over again. As an illustration, the Third Reich described Jews as "vermin", unfit to live. This became a cliche in Germany. Would you reconsider you opinion now?
29. Im getting truoble to understand
nitzan ,   israel   (02.13.10)
please, and i mean it, why does the all world occupy with Israel? I mean realy, we are such a small country and so few people and despite this we are allways on headlines? certainly miss Tonge's nonsense are false and I can't see why anyone with a healthy common sense should take her seriously
30. delusions
zichron   (02.13.10)
CUT THAT INCREDIBLE INDIA AD OUT OF THE BBC THATS WHERE THEY HARVEST ORGANS OF TOURISTS AND GET THE GOVERNMENT OR PARLIAMENT TO NATIONALIZE THAT RADIOSTATION.
