I just went and posted again on “The Cheese Danish Affair” and saw that after posting, my post said “Your comment is awaiting moderation”.

He really is spineless.

BTW: Sorry, I misused plagiarized above… But you get what I mean.

So I post a comment on Schoenfeld’s “The Cheese Danish Affair” pointing out how he is attributing the plagiarist’s comments to the plagiarized and guess what…

They delete my post from the site.

Schoenfeld is spineless.

his dumb-ass peroration

If a peroration was ever dumb-ass, this was it. :)

Thanks for this post, I was a bit confused by Scheuer’s article.

That guy makes the frontpagemag guy look reasonable. He is just flat out making things up.

“May your zeal be exceeded only by your adherence to humanitarian principles!”

See? …Sheepishly imbecilic…

Wow! There’s an American Radical Left? I hadn’t noticed, but then again, I learn something new every day!
Best wishes to you, my Radical Leftist friends! May your zeal be exceeded only by your adherence to humanitarian principles!

Will they be on TV anytime soon, so I can check them out?

This underlines the diminishing sensibilities of the war pimps. Pinnochio’s nose is 30 feet long and he keeps burbling hogwash - and they don’t see it. Not only is no one listening - their platform has become a laughing stock. Like the American radical Left, the War Party preaches to the converted and the sheepishly imbecilic; they take solace in murmured hurrahs of blinkered True Believers. And the world speeds further past them.

Michael Scheuer is emerging as their most potent nemesis: He simply Knows What He’s Talking About. Their obscene pipe dreams and illogical doubletalk can’t counter his trenchant analysis. To be sure, Scheuer’s reports are bad news - for this country, for our treasure of lives and resources, for our future and that of the Middle East. But his words are necessary tonic if we’re ever to awaken from this deep national nightmare.

As far as Commentary and Schoenfeld are concerned, well, if you can’t come up with a legitimate argument to rebut your opponent, attack your opponent personally - every five-year-old learns that “tactic” on the playground. Somehow, I don’t think Michael Scheuer and Ron Paul will be sorely wounded by these torpid slings and rubber arrows.

Hi Jack,

I’m fully conscious of what Justin’s done here, Jack, reporting as he has on a commentary of Schoenfeld’s on Scheuer. The question I raise is whether or not anyone really would want to be Schoenfeld’s teacher at this point, clearly ineducable as he’s proven himself to be. The effort actually to teach in this instance presupposes a belief that the underlying facts might prove otherwise and that belief intrinsically legitimizes, eh? You may want to ponder that.

So I post a comment proving that Scheuer is a thug who doesn’t care if the CIA ruins innocent lives and it gets removed? Why?

Memo to John Lowell,

You are a little wide of the mark here, John. Justin
isn’t discussing the matter with authors at Commentary.
He has, just as was necessary, laid out the reality
in plain sight. When your teacher corrected your mistakes
on your math test, did that serve to legitimize your
point of view?

Sincerely,
Jack Dennon

Yeah, thanks Dan, Scheuer and his indoctrination sure shows why the CIA should be abolished.

I see little point in engaging these folks, actually. Doing so simply serves to legitmize their point of view. Better, perhaps, not to make a contest of the matter, casting Commentary and its fascist devotees by default into an oblivion only too well deserved. I’m reminded of the tactics used by neo-cons years ago - and still - to exclude competing conservative visions from their then developing orthodoxy. I say accept this exclusion. In my view, we have nothing to discuss with authors at Commentary.
