Air America Founder: Karl Rove Behind Left's Anti-Semitism
2006-07-24
(via LGF)
The founder of Air America says the antisemitic and/or anti-Israel posts erupting out of the progressive blogosphere must be a plot.

Probably masterminded by Karl Rove.

Because true "liberals" would never hold such opinions.

Gotta be a plot.
"I came to the conclusion that the hostile comments about Israel on these liberal blogs are not coming from true liberals. Most of the anti-Semitism comes from racism and most of the racism I have experienced has come from the far right, not the left.

"So my conclusion is that the bloggers who violently hate Israel and see it in black and white terms are not really liberals. They may even be anti-Semites, but they are not representative of the liberal community that was so active in achieving racial and ethnic equality. It is a contradiction for a true liberal to be an anti-Semite.

Furthermore, I would not put it past the right wing to flood the liberal blogs with hateful criticisms of Israel to advance a perception that liberals are anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. And I see Karl RoveÂ’s fingerprints all over this."

Note similarities to radical Islamic turnspeak and conspiracy delusions. Note also that the leftÂ’s anti-Israel problem has gotten so bad that the financiers feel they need to respond.

#14  The left (socialism) has always been antisemitic; jewry = bankers, capitalists,... most of the left's founders like proudhon were AFAIK rabid antisemite, and don't forget marx himself, with his "identity" hatred of the jews.
For the new antisemitism of the left ("jews = zionists = racists = westerners"), I'd recommand this book by a french researcher called Pierre-André Taguieff (I've read the french original, IIUC, don't know if this one is a separate english book or a translation).

#13  The the anti-jewish character of the left was made plain to me years ago by a brother. He is a jew hater and has even poisoned his kids minds. His great grandmotehr was Jewish. He is teh typical lefty that makes heros out of the PLO and terrorists.

This is nothing new it's just becoming more plain as the left shows it's true colors. If they take power in this country we are in for a world of misery and travail.

#5  He's just declared about half of Daily Kos, two thirds of Democratic Underground, Cindy Sheehan, International ANSWER, St. Rachel of Pancake Corrie and the ISM, and most of the rest of the folks on the other side antiwar movement to be Rove operatives.

Wow.

Is this the beginning of the Great Netroots Fratricidal Civil War?
