Harvard University Professor Alan Dershowitz is one of the most knowledgeable and unapologetic defenders of Israel among American academics. This has unfortunately opened him to unfair and intellectually dishonest attacks from his fellow liberals.
In answering a recent attack by Max Blumenthal, formerly of Media Matters for America (MMfA), Prof. Dershowitz said, Let me tell you, Max Blumenthal and Media Matters will be singlehandedly responsible for (Obama) losing this election. They (the Democrats) cannot win the election and keep this affiliation with them.
I agree with Prof. Dershowitz, though obviously I think there are many, many more reasons why President Obama should lose this election (trillions, if you consider his latest budget proposal).
Prof. Dershowitz is right to draw attention to MMfA in particular. As Big Journalism points out: Media Matters has been condemned by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for their continued use of an antisemitic slur; their own allies have even thrown them under the bus for antisemitism.
This just shows that Americans of all political stripes are awakened to the dangers of unethical journalists and media organizations that deceive their audiences and use bullying tactics to unfairly target political opponents.

Amen and amen. Your keyboard to God’s ear.
She is so right on and not only because of MM’s antisemitism but also because they’re the most leftist provocateurs on the planet. They are one of Axlerod’s hammers but the possibility of their tactics coming back to bite them is huge.
Wow! If that's really the case, where can I send my check to this Media Matters outfit?
All kidding aside, Newt Gingrich will utterly destroy Obama in the debates leading up to the general election without the aid of Media Matters. It won't be too many months from now when President Gingrich and a host of Tea Party Patriots take power and then begin to dismantle an out-of-control government that has far exceeded its scope as enumerated in the Constitution.
Newt Gingrich is a man of sturdy character, intelligence, courage, vision and boldness. In short, he's the Man for a Great American Renewal.
Yes!
Amen!
You’re right, they’re liars and IIRC it’s a Soros funded outfit?
Wonderful post. Love your humorous touch.
Newt Gingrich has to rebound.
Nobody else will do.
I forgot to ping her list and now I’ve closed all my windows so that I can run the malware thingee and iolo before I go to bed.
LOL, that’s right, FrankR.
Bumping. I love Sarah on Israel. Every Jew who “hates” her is an idiot.
>> Newt Gingrich has to rebound. Nobody else will do.
I agree.
Dang straight!
You win ‘The Scenes We’d Like to See’ Award!
Blessings! I looked. Good night.
“We’ll keep our God, our guns and our Constitution.” and you keep the change. Another home run!
