The Democratic Convention, on the other hand, was far from day to day. On occasion I get educated, but too often the blogs just rehash one another.<br /><br />One question, to me, is how to communicate from our "vantage point" the things we can see that others may not. I think the blogs inhibit rather than foster communication because the participants and audience are the choir. One would think there would be more and better communication in this modern age of technology, but it may be just the opposite.oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-29614133782561126122012-11-20T16:05:22.953-08:002012-11-20T16:05:22.953-08:00School, I guess the purpose for discussing DKos is...School, I guess the purpose for discussing DKos is for the same reason that Matt and Zach discuss the HuffPost, Adam Levick discusses the Guardian, and Jon Haber discusses BDS.<br /><br />What we do here is certainly not the same as what those guys do, what with their very focused criticisms of the particular venues that they concentrate on, but the motivation is probably similar.<br /><br />That is, the denizens of dkos represent (along with those other venues, among still others) the grassroots / netroots of the Democratic party and / or the international progressive-left. <br /><br />I have little doubt that many Jewish people were rather surprised, for example, that the Democratic party downgraded the status of Israel in the party platform. I feel equally certain that me, you, and everyone who participates here was not the least bit surprised because with our vantage point we can see things that others may not.<br /><br />Ultimately, I would say, we're just putting our ears to the tracks and describing what we hear.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-19915020803040863062012-11-20T15:51:38.733-08:002012-11-20T15:51:38.733-08:00I think it's a good idea to send these comment...I think it's a good idea to send these comments to politicians and journalists that may be inclined to raise these matters of the poison that exists in the Democratic Party that many Democrats are not aware of. oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-79159632096752685682012-11-20T15:44:00.836-08:002012-11-20T15:44:00.836-08:00*in no small part*in <strong>no</strong> small partJayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-84634134610256778202012-11-20T15:39:27.991-08:002012-11-20T15:39:27.991-08:00This -

They don't even have to put a pair of pants on.<br /><br />There isn't really a dire need to point out particular individuals in the overall scheme of things. Though venting helps at times. One positive point in it, however, is to expose these people and the sites that host them for exactly what they are.<br /><br />Take note of how many mainstream politicians participate at Daily Kos anymore. There are none. Whereas in previous years, presidential candidates (or at least their social media people) were regular diarists. I'd like to think that is in small part due to the efforts of exposing the toxic environment there, and the numerous individuals who've created it.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-29793246182432265822012-11-20T15:17:28.889-08:002012-11-20T15:17:28.889-08:00Israel is also seen as an extension of the USA, an...Israel is also seen as an extension of the USA, and many of these people are just as hateful toward the very system that affords them the opportunity to express the hatred. The opportunity would disappear in their new world, even for them, but they are too wrapped up in their theories to see the plain reality of what they seek.<br /><br />Added to the religious zealotry against Jews and non-believers spurned by Islam, it makes a combustible situation. That these political zealots align with those that practice religious bigotry makes them human rights frauds.<br /><br />That said, what is the purpose of ragging on the DKos haters? There is no dispute they exist, always ready to come from the woodwork when they can blame the Jewish state, only to retire in silence when it involves grave violations in Syria, Iraq, Mali, Nigeria, Egypt, or the like. I suggest they are few, and that it's likely most readers of the blog never see these words, too busy propping up every cause and feigning outrage over the slightest distraction.<br /><br />I am more concerned these days about the establishment of a right to not be offended that is hovering overhead, than a relative few who exist in an echo chamber. This is where Obama is trading away our values in an attempt to treat our adversaries as if they see things like us, when they do not, and when they are unwilling to accept that our values deserve no less respect than their own.oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-72300528191974512622012-11-20T14:07:45.408-08:002012-11-20T14:07:45.408-08:00 “Back in mid-June, during the great Paris weapons... “Back in mid-June, during the great Paris weapons show, the Rafael pavilion was absolutely the busiest around, and everybody wanted to look at the new, exciting, Iron Dome system, the greatest achievement in rocket defense ever.

So they contacted their big clients, the serious ones, and asked what gives. And those clients told them no one except Israel has any use for these things.

The readiness to buy Arab propaganda hook, line and sinker meshes with the class warfare view. Progressives think 1200 rockets on Israeli Jewish civilians are no biggie, because they are "the oppressive rich" finally getting a little comeuppance from the "oppressed poor."<br /><br />Allow me an analogy to explain how class warfare relates to the Far Leftist view of the Jewish–Arab conflict:<br /><br />The Arab nation is a rich man, possessing over a score of states on a huge masses of land; rich not only in the area possessed, but also in the abundance of oil in a lot of this area.<br /><br />From the PR point of view, however, this clear and evident truth has always presented a problem. When the UNSCOP meeting convened to settle the question of Palestine, one of the arguments that swayed its decision to have a partition plan was that made by the Jewish delegates, that the Arab nation is in no danger of land deprivation because it already possesses a great mass of land. As we know, this didn't stop the Arabs trying to nip the 1947 Partition Plan in the bud, but after their failure they made a crucial modification to the marketing of their imperialistic ambition to rob the Jewish nation of its single state.<br /><br />Namely, if the Arab nation can be likened to a rich man, it now took one of its sons, Filastin, and dressed him in beggars' clothing. Set against the prosperous and armed Jewish State, Filastin outside its true context as the son of a rich man looked like an oppressed, wretched victim. Robber and robbed, oppressor and oppressed, David and Goliath were thus inverted in a masterful PR move. In the West, those who wished to keep hating the Jews but needed to find a way around Holocaust guilt welcomed this shiny new pretext with open arms.<br /><br />The lie that Israel is the rich robber baron has taken hold on the Far Left, such that all of Israel's dilemmas, predicaments and responses are filtered through it. Seen as a rich robber baron—which the Arab nation truly is, and Hamas is the gun held to the looted Israel's side—Israel will always be vilified, and not even a million rockets will be cause for sympathy with Israeli Jewish civilians. This, in short, is why I am so fanatical about highlighting the truth of Arab imperialism and its aggression against the Jewish State. The narrative must be reinverted, restored back to the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-70921782853185276052012-11-20T13:21:28.372-08:002012-11-20T13:21:28.372-08:00I wonder when any of their 'supporters' at...I wonder when any of their 'supporters' at that blog will mention that simple fact, Mike.
