Associated Press writer Anne Flaherty, in an article about the Congressional vote to tighten sanctions on Iran, dispenses some casual “Jews control America” antisemitism: Congress Denounces Iran’s Ahmadinejad.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress signaled its disapproval of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with a vote Tuesday to tighten sanctions against his government and a call to designate his army a terrorist group.

The swift rebuke was a rare display of bipartisan cooperation in a Congress bitterly divided on the Iraq war. It reflected lawmakers’ long-standing nervousness about Tehran’s intentions in the region, particularly toward Israel—a sentiment fueled by the pro-Israeli lobby whose influence reaches across party lines in Congress.

Holocaust survivor Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA) lead the charge. The 2 nays were 08 presidential candidates Democrat Dennis Kucinich and Republican Ron Paul.
