  2. Kate,
    Please don’t link to that vile sewer.
    Must shower and scrub again, and again, and again.

  4. It’s alright to make fun of Muslims by try criticizing Jewish policy let alone make fun of them. Right wing Americans are every bit as dangerous as right wing Jews or Muslims, religion stinks. The only good thing is the music.

  5. see Charles Krauthammer ‘mideast blame game’
    I sent him a reply describing it as hitting the centre of the bullseye.
    palestininas are collectively and individually vastly more interested in perpetuating the violence and vendetta than establishing a homeland of their own. its been offered, more than once. they responded with rocket attacks and suicide bombers.

  6. to those leftists whining about the ‘cabal of lobbyists of Israeli interests’, I repeat: why not just use the same tactics for palestinian interests.
    but that takes effort and time and work and communication and earning trust.
    much more expedient to send another frustrated brainwashed suicide bomber into the Jewish marketplace or bus.

  7. To Doug
    I get the same feeling whenever i make the huge lapse of judment and end up at rabble.ca
    i think i finally got all of that vile garbage out of my system
    Just remember : Wash Rinse Repeat

  8. They truly went down Alice’s rabbit hole, on this one.
    After reading about 50 or so posts, I felt despair creep into my bowels.
    That adult humans can be so blind ,hypocritical, all in one sitting. Is just too darn depressing.
    So many of them live in a world of terms & references that make no sense. Its like a bad acid trip.
    Just emoting, flavored with hate , mixed with rancor. Insane “facts ” spread like ripe manure.
    The only high note was there endless desperation filled with the shrill chant like mantras. Proclaiming there “injustice”.
    Frankly I thought. You did this for 30 years now, the tables turn , the whine flows.
    I feared for my soul .

  9. THE REVOLT OF THE ELITES: And the Betrayal of Democracy (Book Review)
    W.W. Norton & CO. ^ | December – 1995 | Christopher Lasch

    THE REVOLT OF THE ELITES: And the Betrayal of Democracy by, Christopher Lasch
    Publisher: W.W. Norton & CO.
    December – 1995
    In this book, an American historian finds fault with the values and beliefs of America’s professional elites.
    Christopher Lasch argues that democracy today is threatened not by the masses, as Jose Ortega y Gasset argued in The Revolt of the Masses, but by the elites.
    These elites – mobile and increasingly global in outlook – refuse to accept limits or ties to any nation or place. Lasch contends that as they isolate themselves in their networks and enclaves, they abandon the traditional middle class and betray our democracy.
    The author traces how meritocracy – and its selective elevation of individuals into the elite class – gradually replaced the original American democratic ideal of general competence and respect for every man.
    The author criticizes our elite class for valuing self-esteem over achievement. He sees self-fulfilment as a false remedy for deeper social problems, and he attacks the superior pseudoradicalism of the academic left.
    He sees these Americans as apathetic about their common culture and ambivalent about arguing politics or voting.
    The elites, having jettisoned the moral and ethical guidelines provided by religion, cling to the belief that through various sciences they can master their fates and escape mortal limits. …-

    Jihadist video aimed at Muslim youth

    CBC News has obtained a copy of the video allegedly handed out by one of the Toronto bomb-plot suspects in the parking lot of a local mosque.
    Bomb-plot accused are seen in a Brampton courtroom on June 6, 2006. (John Mantha/CBC) Bomb-plot accused are seen in a Brampton courtroom on June 6, 2006. (John Mantha/CBC)
    Muhammad Robert Heft, a Canadian convert to Islam, said he was given a copy of the video by Fahim Ahmed, one of 17 people arrested on June 2.
    The video offers a chilling glimpse inside the jihadist mind and is intended as a wake-up call to Muslim youth in Canada.
    “Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah,” says the voice on the tape, “and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of taghout, evil.”
    The Sept. 11 attacks are a central theme in the video, appearing again and again, not as a nightmare but as an inspiration. “America was struck within its homeland … and the youths of Islam invaded it on that great day. So the whole world was totally changed as a result of this blessed invasion.”
    That message was handed out in the parking lot of the Salaheddin mosque in suburban Toronto, allegedly distributed by Ahmed. The video is subtitled so that Muslim youth who grew up speaking English, not Arabic, could understand the narrator. … more via voy forums

    Doug, I liken sites like Kos and Rabble to Internet porn. They are vile, disgusting exploitive and hateful, but every once in a while I like to take a peek.

  12. Well, of course I’m not surprised at bigotry coming from a top leftist site like the Daily Kos.
    See this stuff all the time.
    Yet they deny, rationalize, point fingers, blame, equivocate, relativize… and some claim studying history will make one magically see that the left is right, “absolutely”… I’m not making this up. Happened on my blog in that record-long comments section re. Iran. Worth a look.
    http://thecanadiansentinel.blogspot.com/2006/06/khomeini-grandson-asks-us-to-invade.html
    One of the more fascinating, eye-opening, jaw-dropping threads. Think Chomsky/Churchill defenders…
    Voila: the left.

  13. Treason of the Intellectuals.
    Note the words “they feel sure”. The left liberal creed is based on feeling, emotion, envy, greed, paranoia, and liberal doses of Daily KOS. …
    They play and replay footage of the disaster, looking for clues. They feel sure the post-9/11 era is built on a lie. They are professors of paranoia… more»
    Academics give a scholarly stamp to 9/11 conspiracy theories
    By John Gravois

  14. What I find disgusting about that cartoon is that universities like Yale at one time had policies of limiting the number of Jews they would allow in. Guess that little fact has been sent down the memory hole.

  18. “As a bonus – the elitist distain of the academic left for the “common working man” is also caught with its pants down.”
    Anyone else catch Pat Martin (NDP – W. Bmfk.) and Marlene Jennings (Lib. – Sodom) in the house yesterday? Marlene calls Martin a “busboy”; Martin replies that he is a blue collar worker, a carpenter, and is insulted that a trendy downtown Montrealer seems to think it appropriate to call somebody a “busboy” as an insult.
    More evidence that the Liberals are anti-working class. They actually think somebody who takes an entry level/low paying job to support themselves and their family is risible.

  19. Bob,
    What is really risible are the giant leaps bloggers take. It doesn’t matter if it’s SDA or Kos the contributors under a cloak of anonymity allow their imaginations to run ridiclously wild.
    Way too much out of context as well. Maybe Jennings called Martin a busboy because he arrives late to parties. Anyways, childish to name call and plain dumb to argue back.
    Taking scraps of information and spinning them into tall yarns to support nonsense is the stuff of blogs like Kos, you seem to have descended to their level.

  20. antitermitism. favorite overused word of politcally correct panderer crybabies everywhere. conservative blog my arse

  21. DB – Here you say that it is childish to name call, yet on the adjoining post commentary, you make a connection between home schooler proponents and “bovine dolts”
    For shame.

  22. Has ‘balanced’ perspective flown the coop here? Looks like it. BTW, distain is spelled “disdain”. Please correct since you use the word frequently in the posts.

  23. Is it not time, Friday night time-gentlemen-please, time to get past this lazy use of the term “anti-semitism” as a handy tag to paste on anyone who says one critical word about the State of Israel. There are Jews, then there is the State of Israel, Zionism, the Israel lobby, and other flavors of opinion swirling about Jewish people and the state they have created. It takes an effort to separate this from that, but no contribution is made to anybody’s understanding by pasting the term with nor reasonable thinking to be seen.
    And there should not be any reluctance nor any bullying when truthful statements are made, It is a fact that religious people who are Jews may very well take instruction from a Rabbi who says things like ” 27 Moslem lives are not worth one Jewish fingernail” (or 1000 Moslem lives); or that Jews are the human beings and the rest of humanity are “cattle”.
    There is an Israel lobby which uses all sorts of unethical ways to advance the present program of a ruthless and expansionist Israel; a lobby that currently finds it useful to support the murderous and destructive foreign policies of the USA (and may even have become something of a tail wagging a dog). And there any number of academics sorting themselves out along the line of like or don’t like on all these matters.
    The article that this blog you mention, Kos, relies on, is not against Jewish people in any way you could remotely find “anti-semitic” The article is in the paper Jewish Week which bills itself as the largest and most respected Jewish paper in America.. What it says is that a group representing the worst of the current American conduct has decided to target an Academic who is making noises in his blog that they do not like, and this is an unfair way to choose profs. It could be called naive, but to call it anti-semetic is plain lazy.

  25. It is a fact that religious people who are Jews may very well take instruction from a Rabbi who says things like ” 27 Moslem lives are not worth one Jewish fingernail
    “It is a fact”, then “may very well”? Come again. The operative “may” sort of cancels out your “fact”? Or were you striving to be obtuse and illogical?
    I have very little idea what rabbis are instructing their following firsthand, but I sure as hell know what their counterparts in Islam are instructing their followers as they are 24/7 quoted all over the airwaves and in print. It’s the jihad line almost exclusively.
    Most American Jews disportionately vote Democrat.(Does Senator Shumer’s or Congressman Levin’s position on Iraq ring a bell with you?) Want to explain for us that paradox in the context of your innuendo that war mongering rabbis are influencing their congregations?
    The Kos site is an abomination. It speaks clearly for itself. Your defense of it speaks clearly about you.

  26. My views on this changed dramatically after speaking to an Israeli at a conference last week. He suggested that the ideologies of the muslims in Palestine did not subscribe to negotiation or compromise. Once compromise had been engaged, it was a sign of weakness of the leaders, and they would be undermined and or removed. The democratic state does not exist within their collective worldviews, and due to these collective worldviews, the Palestinian people will only ever be solaced by the entire destruction of Israel, and would wait a thousand years for this to come about. Negotiation of peace was just the filler, but never an ultimate solution.
    Thus Arafat’s fence sitting leadership style that advocated for peace on one hand, while quietly supporting militant terrorist groups that killed Israelies was a necessary stance for any Palestinian leader, as hypocritical as it may be.
    I find this completely fascinating. We as westerners (even those of us in Canada who believe we are beholden under a socialist/collective yoke) have a vast sea of difference between us and our individualistic views, and the collectivist views of the muslims.
    Really makes you wonder if the US is on the right page by trying to pull the two cultures together from across that endless sea of cultural difference.
    Cheers!

  27. Gosh, I had to read the actual article to discover that it was about Yale refusing to hire Juan Cole as the result of a strong lobby by Israel supporters.
    Funny how academic freedom means so little to Cons when it’s a leftish kind of person at the ass-end of things. If this had been a Likudnik chased out of town by your usual suspects, we’d never hear the end of it.
    A balanced account here:

  28. All you have to do is type”jewish fingernail” in the Google search box and you will get all the rabbis you could possibly want expressing the most extreme hate views on people other than Jews. Or try Dov Lior, said to be the most respected of Torah scholars and the Chair of the Jewish Rabinnical Council . When I write “may” I mean exactly that, Jewish people may learn such dreadful views because they are frequently expressed by Rabbis of note, and they “may” also read such hate expressions by reading the religious edict that Dov Lior wrote on the “1000 fingernail” reference.
    For the rest, I hope you enjoy your views. They certainly are a hedy brew.

  29. Daily Kos Directs Followers to Keep Their Mouths Shut
    The talk of the blogosphere is the Ko$ola Kontroversy, in which Markos Moulitsas and his partner Jerome Armstrong are alleged to be running a pay-for-play scheme: hire Armstrong as a consultant and get the support of Kos.
    Uh, well, it’s the talk of the right-leaning blogosphere, that is. Because Markos directed his fellow moonbat bloggers to keep quiet about it, on a private mailing list. TNR’s Jason Zengele has the email from Mr. “Screw Them:” …
