Anti-Semite Endorses Kerry

And he's the former Malaysian prime minister, Mahathir. Check it out.

"I think Kerry would be much more willing to listen to the voices of people and of the rest of the world," Mahathir, who retired in October after 22 years in power, told The Associated Press in an interview.

"But in the U.S., the Jewish lobby is very strong, and any American who wants to become president cannot change the policy toward Palestine radically," he said.

In other words, Kerry would be willing to buckle to international pressure and abandon strategic aims, but wouldn't abandon Israel. It's an endorsement, but a limited one.

If you recall, Mahathir made headlines with his anti-Semitic remarks in an address to the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
