Who is Alan Dershowitz?

Alan Dershowitz says, "I prefer to be around Democrats who hate me than Republicans who love me." (49:03)

What does that mean?

Does it mean that Democrats who hate him will come up with more creative legal arguments because they are pissed off?

Does Alan prefer hate filled Democrats because he enjoys the challenge of correcting their flawed ways of thinking?

Does it mean that despite their hated he still wants to be accepted by Democrats -- like the prodigal son coming home to Martha's Vineyard?

Does it mean that he is a phony on Fox News or Judge Jeanine and Laura Ingraham?

Who know what is going through Dershowitz's mind. On one hand, it could be bordering on near masochistic love, and on the other hand, it could be that he openly loves Democrats despite their flaws and terrible treatment of him. It could be some of these possibilities, it could be none.

But whatever it is there is almost a fawning quality to Alan in this interview because Democrat acceptance seems very important to him -- maybe as important as his civil rights principles. Democrats always fear being ostracized from the party and here you see it first hand. You see the power of the tribe or collective. And it's kind of sad. Why? It is sad because the collective goes against the very core of our liberty, which is the individual. As much as Alan cares for civil rights, cares for the individual and liberty, he still feels the pull of the collective. He wants to go back to a oneness harmony, a unity or... to use a Star Trek reference... he wants to go back to a BORG mind. Dershowitz or Locutus of Borg? Who will win out?

Despite all this speculation something about his statement bugs me. If anything, I don't think he thinks too highly of Republicans. And maybe that's the long and short of it.

Just start shooting the bastards.

Otherwise, it’s never gonna end.

My liberal Jewish friend was born in a DP camp in Austria shortly after the war. His parents escaped from Hungary and eventually came to the US. His mom died recently and STILL hated Christians for persecuting the Jews in WW2! He told that story as if it made sense to him. too. Where to start?

[SunkenCiv]

The Clinton gang tried to shut him up with a phony "him too" accusation regarding pedophile island; it was false, it didn't work, and was a big mistake on their part.

[Lisbon1940]

His family is from Rzeszow. Just like Natalie Portman.

[MayflowerMadam]

“One of the few honest liberals left in the country...”

And he never fails to announce how he voted for Hillary and how he loves her. Nothing she ever did was wrong. Blah, blah, blah. He’s a snake in the grass and I’ve never felt good about conservatives on Fox cozying up to him. He despises us. I guess his statement confirms that.

[M-cubed]

give him credit when he does this, it costs him greatly <<

LMAO.....you dont know many jews....do you....

[Truthoverpower]

Everyone in NY is demon raps
Everyone
Just like where I live here
Thus you tow the line
Libs are very vindictive

[Tucker39]

O.K., he’s of Jewish extraction. But does he practice the Hebrew faith. Or is he agnostic or atheistic? Many are NOT believers. He’ll find more unbelief, anti-God sentiment with the Rats. At one Dem. Nat. Convention, they booed God out of the hall. He may well prefer that sort of company.

[TBP]

He’s brilliant, often wrong, sometimes right, and always willing to discuss things in a civilized manner, which is more than I can say about a lot of people.

[The Westerner]

My mother told me she was friends with his sister growing up.

That’s all I know about where he’s from. But I do know that my mother changed her thinking as she got into her 70’s. It is very possible that a NY Jew evolves on some subjects over time.

That doesn’t change their strict identification as Liberal and Jewish. It’s a tribal thing within the American system. Not intellectually consistent nor always honest. I do not like nor respect Dersh for what he did not say throughout the years of his greatest influence. Who really knows what he’s loyal to now?

[TBP]

Maybe he likes a good debate foil. I sometimes do.

[dforest]

He still loves the Beast. He is doing what he is doing to ward off that Beast being prosecuted. He is not trustworthy.

[Chode]

100%

[Snowybear]

He’s very easy to figure out. He’s a Democrat but he has standards, morals and he doesn’t let the current subject change his standards or morals. He stands up for Trump because it’s the right thing to do.

[jmacusa]

He defended Klus von Bulow in the murder of his wife, Sunny von Bulow. He got his conviction overturned and later managed to get von Bulow acquitted. I remember the case quite well. I was working in NYC at the time. Smart money had Bulow gulity as hell.

[Stanwood_Dave]

“Who is Alan {Morton} Dershowitz?”

His notable cases include matters involving Claus von Bülow,(overturned conviction on appeal) Patty Hearst, Harry Reems, Jeffrey Epstein, Leona Helmsley, Jim Bakker, Mike Tyson, Michael Milken, O.J. Simpson,(appellate advisor during trial) Kirtanananda Swami, Julian Assange, and possibly Nelson Mandela.

A snake's snake. When you swim in a cesspool, after a very short time, you smell like a cesspool.

[Electric Graffiti]

A piece of living sh!t that voted for hillary and defends her every chance he gets.

[lizma2]

bkmk

[trebb]

Maybe he goes with the truism that one never learns anything by only hanging around those who agree with him....

[faithhopecharity]

excuse me, but what kind of comment is THAT!?

(Dershovitz could have continued to enjoy the adoration of many, many on the far left .. including Christians, Jews, and others ... but he’s committed the commie/left’s gravest sin far too often.... “speaking truth to power” ... even when it embarrasses the far left/DNC controlling clique.

For this, Dersoovitz is (partially) shunned (and will never, ever receive any prizes from the leftists like, say, the Supreme Court appointment he was so clearly in line for...that’s kissed off now...lost, gone...)

so again, I say: give him credit for the good things he does. YES I KNOW he has tons of problems, liabilities, things most of us here do NOT like about him! I get that!
Its just that we must maintain our integrity, honesty...and when someone who is otherwise politically objectionable...has the decency and frankly (given the ideologically-driven nature of today’s far left) courage.. to critique some of their lies.....please, let’s be fair and honest and acknowledge when a “progressive” speaks up honestly.

And frankly, if you have some sort of belief that all Jewish people are alike or act a single, certain way (that you obviously disagree with), you are simply in error. And, VERY, very unfair .. to them, and to yourself. You may enjoy reading almost anything by David Horowitz or Dennis Preager, for instnce, two of a number of Jewish Americans who are among the very BEST advocates for a genuinely conservative policy .. with the restoration of the liberties we’ve already lost in USA....

Best,
