Read the CBC was entertaining a walkout.<br /><br />There are plenty of Democrats that have little faith in Obama's prowess with Iran, however. Netanyahu is the one with the more bipartisan position. By the time it is over, Obama may have more support among the anti-Israel, pro-BDS types, but less from reasonable people that see the behavior against the one ally that shares our values.oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-81025629029450150172015-02-26T21:32:12.197-08:002015-02-26T21:32:12.197-08:00Right you are, school, but is the American Left tu...Right you are, school, but is the American Left turning Israel into a partisan issue?<br /><br />I imagine that they would argue that I am one of the people helping to do so.<br /><br />Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-48464546226511944512015-02-26T21:04:09.039-08:002015-02-26T21:04:09.039-08:00Few of them deserve attention because it is a wast...Few of them deserve attention because it is a waste of time to try and reason with the unreasonable. <br /><br />After all, they censor dissenting views using the tactics of authoritarians, not democrats. Because they know their ideology is weak and out of touch. Events increasingly show this.<br /><br />It is time for people to understand that disproportionate negative criticism of Israel is not only undeserved by virtually any objective measure, but that it promotes and legitimizes, rightly or wrongly, the antisemitism of others.<br /><br />They are no one to lecture about bigotry.oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-83371486337820833742015-02-26T19:49:05.897-08:002015-02-26T19:49:05.897-08:00He is a rather pompous know it all who wears well-...He is a rather pompous know it all who wears well-worn ideological blinders while pretending to be Solomon.

This was at a time when he was declared by Markos to be the official site moderator, and one of his jobs was regularly patrolling A-I diaries.<br /><br />Follow <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/978950/41700886#c37" rel="nofollow">the parent comments upthread</a>, and you'll note that this comment of his was made in the context of his arguing that calling Gaza a "concentration camp" is not an antisemitic 'Jews are now Nazis!' slur.<br /><br />For someone, part of whose shtick was policing language, he seemed to drop in to criticize and attack supporters of Israel in this very manner 9 times out of 10, every once in a while making an obviously forced 'balancing' action by wagging his typing finger at a blatant antisemite. Not that there were any shortage of those, of course, but you could almost hear that his heart was never in it even 1/10th as much as when he was gleefully scolding Jews.<br /><br />The somewhat more semi-sly Jew haters (like those who call Gaza a "concentration camp," but who refrained from literally calling Jews Nazis - hey, they could be referring to Mussolini!... as if that's any better or much different) always got a pass from him.<br /><br />I think you give him far too much credit. He knows exactly what he was doing.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-22084745300935262792015-02-26T18:44:27.120-08:002015-02-26T18:44:27.120-08:00I have to say, guys, I love dkos as much as anyone...I have to say, guys, I love dkos as much as anyone, but I've been giving this more thought than it deserves, and I honestly do not think that this is an example of hostile speech.<br /><br />What he meant was that before the Nazis were a blip "on the radar," Mussolini's men blah, blah, blah.<br /><br />He was just referring to the period of time before the Nazi's distinguished themselves from all the other German political street gangs operating in Berlin after World War I.<br /><br />Those were rough days, for sure. The vets couldn't defeat their enemies so they turned on themselves in the streets of Germany.<br /><br />Of course, we had that kind of thing here, as well.<br /><br />Y'know, in San Francisco after that war, American Legion roughnecks would march into gatherings of socialist or communists and start breaking skulls.<br /><br />That Timothy Lange, however, is entirely biased against Israel, in terms of the Long War, is without question.<br /><br />He obviously favors Arabs above Jews.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-35681773768209735772015-02-26T16:50:44.828-08:002015-02-26T16:50:44.828-08:00Wow, that POS really said that!

All of this needs to be remembered especially if Markos himself wants to run for office. It needs to be let known far and wide just what disgusting bigotry he allows on his site. (Just as Ron Paul was taken to task for the bigoted crap in his newsletter he said he didn't personally write)PittPanthers90https://www.blogger.com/profile/16779632820956444985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-41998057262223232862015-02-26T14:47:26.876-08:002015-02-26T14:47:26.876-08:00Not a surprise, coming from the clown who said &qu...Not a surprise, coming from <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/978950/41721666" rel="nofollow">the clown who said</a> "the Nazis were a blip."<br /><br />It would be one thing if he'd admit his bigotry and bias, but his laughable charade of pretending to be some sort of voice of reason or moderation there was always insulting.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-33796481667438051052015-02-26T13:10:00.549-08:002015-02-26T13:10:00.549-08:00Again though I'd like some of them to answer w...Again though I'd like some of them to answer with a straight face why anyone need take them seriously AS Jews since they lean so heavily on that label. If they were just run of the mill people they'd be run of the mill crackpots. But somehow we blindly accept their definition of the moral high ground they because they claim they're Jews.<br /><br />How so? They're not observant, they don't obey the misvoth, they don't have the least interest in Jewish education and have no Jewish knowledge, they don't marry Jews, they don't have Jewish children, they follow none of the ethics of Judaism and barely any of the major holidays, they don't go to shul. And they're not Israelis who live, vote, work or serve there. <br /><br />So why should any of us worry all that much about what the Jon Stewarts of the world say, do or think? It's just another chattering voice in a hurricane of stupid and hate. I genuinely do not consider what George Galloway or PressTV or the Guardian or al Ahram or Hamas or Stormfront or David Duke has to say about 'The Jews' and so I don't consider what J-Spit, Peter Beinart, The Daily Show, Jodi Rudoren or any of that ilk have to say either. <br /><br />Open Hillel? Who effing cares what they are? Seriously, who cares? Just another group who wrap themselves in a Hamas flag.

You're missing the mark if you try to shame people when it's they who openly cheer for the things you're highlighting as shameful. They're mad because it's libelous or inaccurate. They're mad because you found out it's not. You can point out all day how much DKos is chock full of Jew hating Nazis. They agree. They are. Glad we cut through the haze on that. I usually just ask people like that why they still worship Hitler if there was no Holocaust. Wouldn't that make him kind of a pansy?
