"...and the Islamic crazies who murdered 3000 Americans."

You forgot to add: with Israeli foreknowledge and complicity.

[imperator2]

Byron, you are a lovely-assed roo. must be raimondo's receptacle. You better keep out of this. If you want to start a personal fight with me better come outside.

[veronica]

You forgot to add: with Israeli foreknowledge and complicity.

Foreknowledge AND complicity now? LOL... Go to gym already. Maybe you can shake or bake all those lies out of your noggin. 5 or 6 hours in the steam room might be just the ticket.

[Justin Raimondo]

Foreknowledge IS complicity -- if they didn't tell us. And it looks like they didn't, or else 9/11 would never have turned out the way it did....

I think I'll start a movement for the WASPs such as myself, let us call it Saxonism and I'll be the first leader of the Saxonists. So will you support this or will you sic the ADL, SPLC, FBI and other monitors of proper behavior upon our legitimate Biblicaly ordained movement?

[cardinal4]

So, this is your agenda? Most FreeRepublic posters try to get to the truth of an issue, through discussion. Your blatant admissions are quite telling.

Hmm.Considering the massive flame you laid on me yesterday for violating YOUR posting rules,you seem to contadict yourself,and just for you,a pic.

[cardinal4]

Sorry,Tex,couldnt resist!The truth of the matter is,I just learned how to post HTML.Perhaps I am going overboard!As for the flame,I think you could have pointed out my inadequacies a little more diplomatically.Have a nice day!

[IronJack]

Make no mistake, when Justin talks about US funds here, his concern is not for the US. He is talking out of hatred for the State of Israel, and he probably hates Jews too (even though he won't admit it)

I've always found it a bit presumptuous to put words in other peoples' mouths. I've read a lot of Mr. Raimondo's work, and whether I agree with him or not, I'm convinced he has the rhetorical capability to speak for himself. Presenting your opinions of his opinions as fact doesn't do your case much good.

[dennisw]

Is it opposition to Israel -- or a belief that all Jews are evil.

When libertarianloons like you demand Israel retreat to indefensible borders. To make the job of the Jihadists easier.This is anti Semitism. Clear enough for you now?

BTW>What's this deal about you being Jewish? So says Irv Rubin from JDL. True or untrue? I'm betting your mother is Jewish thus making you Jewish.

[dennisw]

Oye! TexAroma did that? Fer shame fer shame.

[Ada Coddington]

Whose? The murderers of those kids? Gee, I guess it must be hubris -- the Israelis think they can get away with anything, at this point.

For a brief moment I had hope for reason prevailing. As you remember, after a couple of days, Israel admitted its responsibility for the deaths. Then a day later the Palistinian Authority said that it was responsible because the bomb was in their jurisdiction. I was impressed with both of them, then they went back to their old ways.

[Huck]

Glad to be of help. That whole region (the Mideast) is ruled by two groups: Terrorists and "ex"-terrorists. That's why we need to STAY OUT of there.

Well, obviuously I don't know enough to make any judgement about what our policy ought to be. Just because there is trouble, doesn't necessarily mean we should hide from it. It's not enough information or experience to go on.

"Uh huh, I'm suuure you could, bubala. It's funny how the response to this column by the Amen Corner validates the column's theme: that, when faced with facts, the Ameners always turn to censorship (or, in this case, attempted censorship). Good god, even someone who denounces anti-Semitism, as I do above, isn't safe from these tribalist fanatics."

Noone is attempting to censor you, at least not me. I think you're being hyperbolic with the word 'censorship'. And your assertion that FOX said that Israel knew about the WTC attacks it untrue, I read your "article" and the corresponding Fox source, and Fox asserts that Israel knew something was coming, but didn't know the specifics....your insinuation that Israel was spying on us also isn't corroborated by FOX...they were spying on foreign nationals in the U.S. (Arabic nationals).

"You want to know what sadism is? You must be referring to the stuff about Kraft-Ebbing -- a kind of joke about Amiel's professed desire to control Yasser Arafat's bowel movements. That's called sarcasm, kid, otherwise known as humor. But of course ideologues like yourself don't know about humor....."

There's humor/sarcasm, and then there's just plain lame-ness. Dennis Miller you ain't, Justin, don't try the obscure reference gig.

[Plummz]

On November 4, 1997, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by Jewish extremist Yigal Amir, who was active in the "settler" movement," and Shimon Peres became Prime Minister. Go look it up, dude.

Have you read barry Chamish's stuff on this assasination? As if often the case which such matters, all may not be as it seems.

[Frances_Marion]

"I have to prove that the settlers are fundamentalist fanatics -- when one of them assassinated an Israeli Prime minister and a group of them recently burned a Christian Bible? The burden, sir, is on you to prove that they aren't...."

Yes Justin. All Israeli settlers are fundamentalist whackos....and Black people dance good and make great peach cobbler...oh, and jews are good with money and I (so I hear on this Antiwar.com site) are behind the myth of anti-jewish sentiments....all Palestinian Arabs are maniacal terrorists...oh, and white people abuse diet pills and beat their wives.

Keep the generalizations coming....especially in your "editorials".

[Frances_Marion]

And let me just say that I don't see Justin as an anti-Semite, or even a "leftist"...I see him as an isolationist. Isolationism doesn't work...we aren't Switzerland, but I can understand the allure of isolationism.

[Justin Raimondo]

The point is that this trouble is not OUR trouble. Also, that the whole region is a nest of vipers, and that we are more than likely to get bitten if we stick our hand under that particular rock. Morally, I see no difference between the Arab nutballs and the Israeli nutballs, nor do I see any concrete national interest in taking sides in that particular tribal war.
