This lineup is ... ah ... [Garner is a Tool of the Jewish Lobby (Molly Ivins Alert)]

Ft. Worth Star-Telegram ^ | April, 10, 2003 | Molly Ivins

[B-Chan]

From reading this column, one cannot help but get the impression that Fraulein Ivins does not approve of Yid-lovers. It's funny how liberals love every "oppressed minority" in the world except one...

[onedoug]

"...a Jewish lobby group."

Were it even true...TOUGH!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Speaking of tolerance...what's a Yid?

[Alouette]

He visited Israel as the guest of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs and signed a statement in October 2000 blaming the Palestinian Authority for the violence after the collapse of peace talks and praising the "remarkable restraint" of the Israeli army.

And this is a bad thing because.....?

[Congressman Billybob]

Molly Ivans' columns, like those by Maureen Dowd, can be easily and simply translated. The translation is this:

"I hate Bush."

Of course, repeated columns that said just those three words would become even more boring than the ones that these two harrigans actually write. So the message has to be dressed up, some.

Therefore, each article becomes, "I distrust BLANK who is doing BLANK. And, by the way, BLANK is associated with Bush in the following manner -- BLANK."

The sad part is there are a few million Americans who take trash and twaddle like this seriously. Ivans is a fine writer, when she sticks to subjects she knows and can discuss without prejudice, namely the pecadillos of Texas state legislators. Dowd is never a good writer, she is merely a dictionary plus an attitude. "There's no there, there."

Latest column, now up on UPI and FR, "All-American Arrogance"

Latest book(let), "to Restore Trust in America."

[Alouette]

what's a Yid?

Ah Yid iz a mentch vos geher tzum Yiddishen folk.

[RichInOC]

This column probably sounded better in the original German.

[mware]

The left wing keep this up and the entire Jewish vote will go to GW in the next election.

[SkyPilot]

The problem of Garner's alleged Zionist sympathies is also causing talk: He visited Israel as the guest of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs and signed a statement in October 2000 blaming the Palestinian Authority for the violence

Oh Horrors! Speak no more of his crimes! I bet he recites the Lords Prayer on Sunday and thinks homosexuality is a sin too--the ba$tard!

[Inyokern]

The left wing keep this up and the entire Jewish vote will go to GW in the next election.

I wish.

[mware]

Don't be surprised if GW get a majority of the Jewish vote in NYC this next time round.

[facedown]

Molly's physician needs to adjust her meds.

[B-Chan]

In German, "Yid" is a derogatory term for "Jew", sort of like "Zionist" is today in English.

I'm of German ancestry myself, but I have always and will always support the right of the State of Israel to exist as a Jewish homeland. They're holding the line for Western civilization in the Middle East.

[tet68]

Garner's alleged Zionist sympathies

Molly, your anti-semitic slip is showing, and it ain't pretty.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

In German, "Yid" is a derogatory term for "Jew", sort of like "Zionist" is today in English.

My point exactly. I was curious why you used it. Perhaps to attribute this attitude to Frau Molly?

[Paul Atreides]

Molly Ivans' columns, like those by Maureen Dowd, can be easily and simply translated. The translation is this:

"I hate Bush."

Oh, I don't know. I think Molly likes a little bush every now and then.

[Alouette]

"Yid" is a derogatory term for "Jew"

"Yid" is the Yiddish word for "Jew" and in that context it is not derogatory in the slightest. It doesn't bother me to hear that word and I use it myself all the time. It is usually the left-wing, assimilated, non-religious Yids who get all bent out of shape at being called "Yid."

[Tacis]

Molly's column next week will be a killer. In it she attacks Bush and the Republicans for failing to improve the dental hygene of Iraqi camels and goats.

Ivans is not a columnist nor a journalist, she is a propagandist. The only thing she leaves in question is how many words deep in her dross does she say, "...and, the Republcans did it."

She is so worthless in terms of providing insightful analysis or a thought provoking perspective that I have to believe there is some other reason that the Startlegram keeps her on.

[Jeff Chandler]

The rats are amazing. They don't even pause long enough to admit that they were wrong; they just keep lying without skipping a beat.
