The Left-Wing Screeching About My Piece on the Holocaust Shooter; Tuscaloosa News’ “Fact-Checking”
By Debbie Schlussel
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES ****
So, I was in court representing a client (pro bono), this entire morning. (Can’t talk about the case now.)
In the meantime, the entire left-wing loon-osphere (**** UPDATE: and the ignoramus faux-conservatives at Hot Air, now citing liberals to attack me and defend Muslims ***) is in an Islamic-style rage of Danish cartoon levels over a piece I wrote yesterday on the DC Holocaust shooter, James W. Von Brunn, and how because we’ve been forced to tolerate Islamic anti-Semitism, he finally felt comfortable to attack the Jews (we know why he picked the Holocaust Museum, even though he missed a Jewish target and got a Black one).
Yup, if you tell the truth in America, the left gets upset. They prefer kumbaya candyland.
Yes, They’re Connected
My work has made the rounds, under very weak attack by Andrew Sullivan (you know, the dude who once put an ad on a gay website seeking a guy to ride him “bareback”), Islamo-apologist Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic (whose career can be summed up as, “look at me, I’m a Jew who writes about Islamic terrorists, but please love me because I also write about how Muslims are great people and Christians suck”), the usual suspects at the Daily Kos, and the like.
Goldberg uses this as an opportunity to bash White Christians, whom he says have been anti-Semitic for several hundred years. Yes, but that’s in the past, Jeffrey. Where have you been? If I go to White evangelical Christian churches today, I’ll meet lovers of Jews and Israel’s biggest supporters. On the other hand, when I’ve gone to mosques undercover, it’s like being a Hitler rally.
Christians have evolved. Muslims have regressed and devolved. Sad that a guy who covers Islamic terrorists refuses to admit this. Goldberg, as his proof that White Christians are the real fomenters of anti-Semites, goes back to 1930s America. Hmmm . . . last time I checked it was 2009, but maybe I’m wrong, and my time machine took me to the wrong year. And in 2009, White Christians in America are the best friends I have. In 2009 America, Muslims are the problem. Anyone who denies that probably is still living in 1930.
Goldberg absurdly demands I retract my column. And–strange!–the comments section on his dumb entry is “closed.” (Goldberg asks if I remember what America was like in 1930? Well, since that was 79 years ago, and Goldberg is younger than 79, how does he remember?)
When these fools attack me–if you can call their withering pap an “attack”–I know I’ve hit the target right on the bulls eye.
Still I can’t help but laugh at the Tuscaloosa News claim that I appeared, yesterday, on the Glenn Beck show, which is news to me (and Glenn Beck, I’m sure), since I’ve never been on his radio or TV show in my life.
But don’t let that get in the way of Tuscaloosa News City Editor Katherine Lee’s online temper tantrum, blaming the right for the Holocaust shooter (yes, because–as I noted yesterday–9/11 Trutherism and anti-Semitism are the property and lingua franca of the right, NOT the left? *sarcasm*). In her “Dial it Back!” online column, she apparently dialed back fact-checking and actual reporting:
Then Debbie Schlussel, on Beck’s show, blamed extremist Muslims for helping neo-Nazis engage in anti-Semitism because they worked together and were basically the same group. A point that makes little sense but went unchallenged, nonetheless. Because it helps clear up the world when you can blame someone else who doesn’t look, sound or talk like you.
Again, I’ve never ever been on Beck’s shows–radio or TV. (Unless I have a double pretending to be me.)
And they tell us that “blogs” and “websites” aren’t as reliable as the mainstream media? Hmmm . . . here’s a liberal mainstream media “journalist” who also blogs and doesn’t get anything right.
But don’t hold your breath for her to apologize or admit she lied.
None of the left will admit that, which is why, instead, I’m getting attacked by the Obama left for telling the truth.
And the truth, as I wrote yesterday, is that Islamic anti-Semitism–and the left’s constant apologism for it, imploring us to be “tolerant” of it–set the tone and the comfort level to make yesterday’s Holocaust Museum shooting.
Sorry, lefties, facts are stubborn things. Katherine Lee, I know for you that facts are especially “malleable.”
**** UPDATE: Contact Katherine Lee (e-mail: katherine.lee@tuscaloosanews.com or phone: 205-722-0202) and ask her where she got her journalism degree. Then, tell her to sue the school for malpractice.
Hilarious! These people are not worth wasting time on. They can’t present a cogent rebuttal if their lives depended on it and they can’t deal with the fact Islam is the Communism of our time. Just like they couldn’t deal with Communism when it was a threat. Go ahead guys and keep attacking Debbie; it won’t change anything and she’ll always be right about Islam!
