This statement was not addressed to me but it is such an absurdity that I feel compelled to answer.

Then please feel compelled to answer truthfully and not put words into my mouth. What I stated was factual. I have not called anybody an anti-Semite. I have not said that everybody who uses the term "neocon" is a closeted anti-Semite. I have not asserted that "that the actual political philosophy simply does not exist and is simply anti-Semitism". I was, in fact, replying to the assertion that since Kuttner is Jewish, he could not have been criticizing the neocons' "Jewishness". That assertion is no more valid than asserting that Al Sharpton could not be criticizing Clarence Thomas because of Thomas' "blackness".

If you want to be taken seriously, then "before you make unfounded, outrageous, bigoted and idiotic statements" you should make an attempt at reading and comprehending the words that I actually wrote and the meaning that I was actually conveying, rather than imputing to me statements and beliefs that are completely and totally foreign to me, and which can not be backed up by examining anything that I have written.

Do you know what the difference between fact and opinion is? Seriously, do you?
