Tweet Chuck Hagel apologized for making a fairly nasty gay slur more than a decade ago. The execrable Andrew Sullivan is proud of Hagel, especially because Hagel’s mea culpa wasn’t accompanied by a companion mea culpa to the Jews and the State of Israel, as to both of which Hagel has directed a boatload of [...]

Tweet In a sane world, Steve Crowder would have his own TV show, rather than three-minute segments. Of course, the discipline of a three-minute segment means that every word he says is worthy. There is no useless, time-consuming filler. Watch and learn. (Ah, heck, you guys already know this. But watch to get talking points [...]

Tweet Everyone is having a good laugh at young Obama’s pompous, turgid, and self-referential writing about T.S. Eliot. My thoughts actually went somewhere else. T.S. Eliot was a tried-and-true antisemite. That’s why I’ve always given him a wide berth. The young Obama apparently did not feel the same way about Eliot’s attitudes. I’m just sayin’….

Tweet The handwriting was on the wall in 2008 but Jews, despite having eyes, could not see it: Obama is not now and never was a friend to Israel. His social and political allegiances meant that any protestations of friendship were lies. And certainly his acts during more than three years in the White House [...]

Tweet I wrote this during Iran’s Green Revolution. For the paragraphs regarding Iran, please feel free to substitute Syria, the Sudan, the economic victims of the financially decimated European Union, Palestinian children who are pawns in Hamas’ genocidal strategy, or any other group of people groaning under a tyrant’s yoke. **** An antisemitic Jew I [...]

Tweet One of my favorite books is a tattered paperback tucked safely into my bookshelf, called The Book of Heroic Failures: The Official Handbook of the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain. It’s a humorous compilation of things that just didn’t go right. Two of the more charming chapters introduce us to the worst [...]

Tweet Today, a gunman hunted out a Jewish school in Toulouse, killing four (three of whom were young children) and then vanishing. Despite the unusual specificity of the targets (i.e., Jewish children), the usual suspects are very busy denying that the unusual specificity of the targets had anything to do with anything. D.G. Myers will [...]

Tweet Of the many, many things I do that irritate my husband, two are pertinent here. First, I actually listen to what he says. This can be frustrating for him, because he doesn’t always use his words with precision. When we’re having a discussion and I say “But you said…” his return is usually “I [...]

Tweet [UPDATE: I received an email from someone who I have reason to believe is indeed close to the story, rebutting my charges. I still think the film slipped up, but I am certain that the SEALS are not antisemites. Read more here.] In my earlier post, I accused Act of Valor of including crude [...]

Tweet My brain is slowly warming up here so I’m not yet capable of original content. Instead, let me offer other people’s wonderful stuff. To get this set started, you have to begin by reading a speech that the Ayatollah Khomeini made in 1942, in which he stated explicitly that Islam is not a religion [...]

Tweet Here’s the lede: The great thing about living in San Francisco is that it is socially and culturally responsible. The bad thing is, a city that is so socially and culturally responsible can’t resist taking the bait when a fringe group tries to provoke a reaction. In a non-Bizarro world, one might think that [...]

Tweet American universities pay lip service to multiculturalism and inclusiveness, but one of their despicable secrets is that, while conservative and Jewish speakers are ignored or shouted down with no push-back whatsoever from the university administrations, pro-Palestinian speakers are given a bully pulpit. The worse their rhetoric — the more anti-inflammatory and antisemitic — the [...]

Tweet The truly vile page I referenced in my post title is Hundred Million Person Hate Israel. Thankfully, so far it’s only got 30,000 people (out of a 100,000,000 goal) “liking” this incitement to destructive antisemitism, but cancers like this shouldn’t be allowed to grow. If you have a Facebook page, you can report the [...]
Bookworm on Dec 21 2011 | Filed under: Ron Paul
Tweet There is a tendency to imagine politics as a straight line, going from Left to Right, or statist to individualist. I think, though, that it would be more accurate to imagine it as a curve, with the two ends sometimes straining to meet each other. Ron Paul’s libertarianism, which includes a Truther strain, deep [...]

Tweet I didn’t bother to read the entirety of an endless article about a bad thing happening in Mexico. No, I’m not talking about drug cartels or about Mexican citizens being slaughtered by guns sent over courtesy of a Democrat Department of Justice attempting to prove that guns hurt people. I’m talking about plants that [...]

Tweet Ignore the fact that the Qur’an is drenched in Jew hated. Ignore the fact that, since Islam came into being, it has alternately treated Jews as second class citizens or actively tried to slaughter them. If you can ignore those realities, you too can be an American ambassador in the Obama administration. You get [...]
Bookworm on Nov 09 2011 | Filed under: Anti-Semitism, Occupy Wall Street
Tweet This is as pithy a summary as any I’ve seen about the antisemitism permeating Occupy Wall Street, and binding together the Left, the Islamists, and the White Supremacists: (If the video isn’t showing up, watch here.) By the way, why is no one commenting on the fact that the so-called 99% are not a [...]

Tweet Bruce Kesler spoke with Jonathan Spyer, who wrote Transforming Fire: The Rise of the Israel-Islamist Conflict. Despite the current upheaval in the Middle East, and its attendant rise in antisemitism (which is impressive, considering its previous high level), Spyer is sanguine, and even optimistic. Check out Bruce’s post and see what you think.

Tweet Antisemitism in connection with OWS was a no-brainer. The Left is antisemitic. It has been since Marx. Hitler institutionalized it to deadly effect. Stalin was less methodical than Hitler, but he made Judaism illegal and instituted various pogroms within his own party to drive out, imprison or kill Jews. No matter how many Jews [...]

Tweet A country that happily allows the rape and destruction of its women, and that kills and hunts down its Jews, is a dead country: Condell calls it the “open theft of an entire country,” but is it really theft if you voluntarily surrender your goods? Hat tip: Front Page

Tweet In the past week and a half, I’ve had a couple of vigorous go-arounds with Jesse Kornbluth regarding his sycophantic Andrew Sullivan article in the Harvard Rag, er, Mag. My take was that Kornbluth either carelessly missed or, worse, actually supported Sullivan’s shoddy journalism. Kornbluth, as you may recall, anointed Sullivan as the world’s [...]

Tweet Almost thirty years ago, just after college, I got a summer job in a hospital administrative office, filling in for a gal who was on maternity leave. One of the guys in charge of that office looked, to my fevered young eyes, just like Tom Selleck. He wasn’t very nice, he wasn’t very educated, [...]

Tweet Yes, you read that post caption correctly. British Liberal Democrat Jenny Tonge, in a speech in the House of Lords, claims that terrorism around the world is Israel’s fault, because Israel treats the Palestinian’s badly: On the issue of world conflict prevention, Tonge then said: “It is a disgrace to us all that problems [...]
