Wankers at Wonkette Threaten Blogger

You won't believe this. Go over and read it all. This is the American left. Antisemitism "in context." Go here, Carl's got it all.

"Rudy Jew-liani" and "the Jew York Times"

On Sunday night, I linked to a post by my friend Yisrael where he picked up on a post by lefty blogger Wonkette in which a couple of anti-Semitic slurs were used. The post has since been picked up or linked by Dr. Rusty, Charles Johnson (who points out that this isn't the first time Wonkette has gone over the line with anti-Semitism) and Pajamas Media, among others. I also cross-posted it on Maverick News Media.

Last night, Ken Layne of Wonkette threatened to 'send it to his lawyers' if Yisrael didn't publicly apologize for not reading their blog so that he would understand the 'context.' Yisrael is refusing to back down:

I don't think I'll apologize. I think Wonkette needs to. I think that the "public square" can tolerate a lot: foul language, innuendos, etc. I don't think a responsible blog need repeat what I would consider an antisemitic reference. The way it appears on your site, there is no reference to the YouTube clip. Only if you click on 'more', is it revealed. That is an error, I think, on your part. Anyone reading the post as it appears sees something any normal, and I stress normal, person would assume to be a sliding pattern into a slur based on religion, especially that reference to the Jew York Times.

The rest of us sure saw it that way. Good for Yisrael!

I wonder if Wonkette would so carelessly insult Muslims..... The answer is obvious - no.

UPDATE: Ken's an asshat.  What a wuss.

Thanks for the support. The lesson I learned is one needed feel to be browbeaten by a threat from the Left. Especially when they don't know what they are doing or saying and especially when I know antisemtism when I read it.

Ooops. That should be needn't. Sorry for the typo. I get nervous around pretty women.

Just substitute wonkette for the names Rall and Ted and you get the idea: http://tinyurl.com/2pmo5c

Ha... you sorry love-struck puppy's make real men cringe... and yes, anywhere, anytime... I'm easy to find and give great directions if you get lost...

So Pamela Geller.. answer me real

Why do you write off half of all Americans by trashing Dems/Liberals/Independents/moderates/all-of-us-not-way-far-right...... right off? Like we all think the same? That's a Neo-Conservative trait,,,, thinking the same,,,, not a Liberal one.

You'd really like to have a civil war wouldn't you... Rep's vs. Dems?

Muslim conservatives vs. Jewish conservatives?

Or, better, Christian conservatives vs. Muslim conservatives?!

Or even BETTER.... Christian conservatives militarily backing Jewish conservatives against Muslim/Arab conservatives!!!

And the little Oshpreys? What would you have them do? A real question worthy of a response.

Given the option, would you have them fight to the death for the USA...or Israel... one death, one honorable death??

By the way, that's the point of this post (in case the Xanew is really kicking in) SO PLEASE POST A REPLY TO THAT LAST QUESTION, SPECIFICALLY, NOT RAMBLING OFF ON CLINTON OR ANOTHER CHEAP TARGET... just give an honest response to an Independent poster who just wants to see US seriously rule like the Super-Power we were meant to be.

I'd suspect you think it's fine for my son and/or daughter to go die in the desert, but not yours? Don't hide behind your ability to send the girls (about fighting age aren't they?) to college. Regardless of which army they fight for, if they go off to fight this war, like my son and daughter have, side by side, I'll know you're not a chicken-hawk. Can you promise that?

I just want mine home. In full health and capable of eventually making the 'noise' stop. BTW... where were you during 'Nam? Desert Storm? I have more respect for the guys who washed out of boot camp...

Your ad homenim attacks against Pamela (Atlas) are getting slightly less personal and nasty. I guess that is some progress. /sarc
