Possumblog has the details on the emergence of anti-Semitism in the Hilliard-Davis congressional race. I was afraid of this. Davis has been getting money from Jewish organizations, and (according to this) Hilliard (who once paid a visit on Qadafi) got contributions from an Arab-American PAC and from James Zogby. The campaign has turned into yet another proxy war between pro- and anti-Israeli groups.

There aren't many Jews in Alabama, of course. There used to be, but the Jewish population in the South has been declining for decades. Moreover, few Jews live in the 7th District, which is a gerrymandered thing put together of rural areas and heavily black neighborhoods of cities. So if Hilliard wants to attack Jews, there's not a big downside.
