We know how you feel, Gene

When questioning Israeli and American policy in the Middle east becomes ani-semetic, I give up trying to please manipulative jackases, then I get angry.

Many journalists pretend that receiving abuse from persons on both ends of the political spectrum proves their even-handedness.

No, it doesn't. This column makes no pretense of neutrality, only accuracy. Even so, it's hard to ignore the irony of being denounced as an agent of the International Zionist Conspiracy one week and an unrepentant anti-Semite the next. Lord knows, the current Middle Eastern catastrophe in the making isn't about me. Even so, Im persuaded that these things need to be talked about. Recently, I wrote that right-wing slurs against 'liberals,' as promulgated by Ann Coulter and others, 'are basically identical to the crimes of the Jews as Hitler saw them.' My point wasn't that anybody's planning a pogrom, but that the Coulter / Limbaugh / Hannity message is a kind of homogenized Fascism Lite.

In response, I received several messages from somebody who sounded like Mel Gibson's spiritual adviser. Jews run the world, but 'you don't dare admit it because you know damn well who schmaltzes your bagel, you condo-pink chicken ****.'
I don't know what 'condo-pink' means, either, but like all adepts of this ancient superstition, my correspondent's logical skills lacked precision. Can you name three Jewish leftists ? OK, that proves the worldwide Jewish / communist conspiracy. Dreary, predictable, stupid stuff.
