An interesting nugget from an otherwise boring festival of self-pity:
- The moment you utter one positive word about the Palestinians or a negative word about Israeli policies, you are branded a Jew-hater, an Anti-Semite, and a Hitlerite-Nazi.
Why yes, Michael Calderon, that’s true. And you know who will brand you “a Jew-hater, an Anti-Semite, and a Hitlerite-Nazi”? Among others, your buddies in Horowitz-land. In one particularly revolting example, your pal Ben Johnson called Cindy Sheehan an “American Nazi idol.” And here’s the ringleader himself:
- Is Saddam Hussein a monster who needs to be removed? Only the Jews think so, but THEY control the White House. Neocon Jews are behind it all. Just ask Cindy Sheehan. Since the Jews and Halliburton are responsible for global evil, eliminating THEM is the only way to create a world in which there will be “social justice.” How far is this from the raving lunacies of anti-Semites?
And what, pray tell, did Cindy Sheehan say about Jews to justify this two-minute hate? Ask the Anti-Defamation League – oh, sorry, they have nothing on Cindy Sheehan. But that hasn’t stopped Likudnik piranhas from calling her a terror-loving anti-Semite for criticizing U.S policies toward Israel.
Of course, Calderon, you and your friends have your First Amendment – nay, God-given – right to smear public figures and fantasize about your enemies being assassinated, and we have ours to call you out for it. We’re using that right. Stop your sobbing.
