Gallowaaaaaay over the line?

One of the leftwing blogosphere’s favorite attacks on me is that I see anti-semitism everywhere, from my bowl of borscht to my hat cornedbeef sandwich. 

This isn’t true, I don’t think—I call anti-semitism only when I see it, and I always provide the author’s own words when I make the claim, which probably hasn’t happened more than a dozen times on this site—but it’s yet another rhetorical ploy to try to hurt my credibility, the suggestion being that I am hypersensitive to the most minor “anti-Zionist criticism.”

But when you look at exchanges like this one between George Galloway and Richard Perle, it’s not difficult to see why many Jewish conservatives are suspicious of many public figures who feel comfortable enough to discuss their anti-Zionist, anti-“neocon” in so provocative a manner.

NOW DRINK!

(h/t Allah)

  1. Dude, I’m at work. Drinking would…

    Waitaminnit. Nobody else is here. I think I’ll have that drink anyway.

    If Iranians want nukes, then it’s their god given right!  It’s my right too!

    The Free State of Nate demands nukes!

    Where’s the love Galloway?!

    Help, help, I’m being repressed!

    The damn Yanks and Brits won’t let me have my nukes!

  3. Jim in Chicago says:

    How can we drink when there’s a ‘dillo somewhere unable to dance?

    I weep for the undancing ‘dillo . . . and for the sheeple, yep for the ‘dillo and the sheeple, lots of weeping . . .

    Mmmmm.  Tasty!

  5. Spiny Norman says:

    Show us the shekels, Richard.

    Besides the blatant and unalloyed anti-Semitism, coming from Saddam’s bagman, that schoolyard taunting is the height of absurd hypocrisy.

  7. What’s this about a corned beef hat?

  8. Defense Guy says:

    Galloway is just an all around water carrier for tyrants.  Jew hating is merely a hobby.

  9. A quick way to expose galloway-type anti-Americanism in a debate. 

    Always debate leftists on principle rather than fact, because that exposes their phony guise of altruism, and forces them to retreat.

    Has the prick been prosecuted for blatant corruption yet?

    “One toke over the line, sweet Jesus,

    One toke over the line…”

  11. Major John says:

    Galloway has to remain on offense, it is the only way he can keep anyone from focusing on his activities and his past statements.  I must say, he did a fine job here – consider his audience.  Probably worked for them.

  12. Ted kennedy's liver says:

    Curse you Goldstein!!!  He doesn’t need to be told. And quite frankly, I need a goddam break.

  13. Geek, Esq. says:

    Galloway still appears in public?

  14. Spiny Norman says:

    For a fee.

  15. Khan (No, Not That One) says:

    How much would he take for not appearing?  We could start a fund.

  16. Average Joe says:

    The teminology in this paragraph confuses me:

    Now even amongst the crazed Zionist Crusader fundamentalists who got us into this war, Richard Perle is an extremist. In fact, most of the neo-con Zionists who talked Bush into this war have now begun to admit that this has been a terrible catastrophic mistake. Unfortunately, it is not their blood, which has been shed. It has been the blood of entirely innocent people, whose lives have been destroyed.

    So nobody serious, outside the lunatic asylum of Richard Perle’s circle, any longer believes that the invasion of an Arab Muslim country by hundreds of thousands of Crusading soldiers has done anything to make the world a more peaceful place.

    Note, “crazed Zionist Crusader fundamentalists”, “neo-con Zionists”, and my favorite, “Crusading soldiers”; is this some right-wing satire of the way that some extreme leftists speak?

  17. Cutler says:

    No, it is just what passes for intelligent debate in much of the Muslim world.

    Galloway knows his audience.

  18. SPQR says:

    When people use the “Neoncon” label for people who are not neoconservatives in any sense, in that they were not leftists or liberals who became conservative from explicit rejections of the path of liberalism.  Or even for people who share no particular “neoconservative” position …

    But just happen to be jewish or beleived to be jewish.

    What am I to do other than conclude that “Neocon” is being used as a label for “Dem Jews” and believe that there is an anti-semitic sneer buried somewhere?
