Loyalty to the party above all, Senator Schumer?

Jennifer Rubin slams the man who would be Senate majority minority leader, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for campaigning for CAIR's candidate in Pennsylvania, Joe Sestak.

So let’s get this straight: Sestak took money from Soros Street (which wrote Richard Goldstone’s defense case and escorted him around Capitol Hill) and from CAIR, which the Democrats’ leader-in-waiting has deemed to have terrorist ties. Sestak may already be a dead duck. But what is Chuck Schumer, the great friend of Israel, doing with this guy? Schumer has had it both ways of late. He’s made heartfelt speeches to AIPAC and grumbled about Obama in the Jewish media, but when it comes to the national Democratic stage, he seems to jettison all those concerns. At some point, Schumer’s pro-Israel supporters may want a more consistent advocate for their cause.

And you thought it was only in Communist countries where the rule is 'party uber alles.'

Maybe Nachum Segal could ask Schumer about it.
