Just because liberals misuse words doesn't mean their original meaning is out the window and you can give them new meanings.

Sounds a LOT like words a leftist would love reading. You validated my article w/ this post, totally. But, given that its 'dumb', in accordance with your perceptive, insightful, wisdom, one wonders why you responded at all.

You make a lot of very good points, most of which I agree with. Yes, the word "anti Semitism" is used as a weapon, and not just by the Left, as is the "race card." Still, as you say, anti Semitism does exist. And it is a real and dire threat everywhere in the world with the possible exception of America.

"Antisemitism is to be guilty of loving the truth."

I guess you are making the point that it is the Left that is distorting the word "anti Semitism" into the above definition.

Nevertheless, it is really hurtful to see it written in that way, and really really offensive.

Maybe this should've given you a clue:

"Reideentifying anti-semitism with liberty is meaningless and will only cause a confusion that is deadly to the concept of liberty."

Or perhaps this:

"Yes, we all know the LEFT does this -- 'Gay,' 'feminist,' etc. -- but that doesn't make it right for us to do it."

Unless you feel validated in mimicking the evils of the left.
