If you are the best the Guardian has to offer then they really are on the skids.

Go back there! Have a crusade there or something! Give your pitiful life some meaning but not at the expense of the only blog which can “out” CiF’s and the Guardian’s one-eyed anti-Israel agenda which opens the door to Jew-hatred.

The Guardian will see this as an extremist site dedicated to their destruction using gross hyperbole …

Dedicated to the destruction of The Guardian??
What was that you were saying about “gross hyperbole” … ?

I am on the Left, but I don’t see the usual suspects as being much on the Left, other than as their own “private religion”.

I agree. I have given up any argument with ‘the usual suspects’. There is no intellectuality involved in their positions. It is just, for instance – Israel bad/Palestinians good or US bad/Arabs good.

Still. I do enjoy taking the occasional poke and remind Saint Berchmans of his loud silence when Halgeel84 was ranting about doctors with Jewish sounding names cutting up womens vagini for huge amounts of money comparing vaginal reconstruction surgery with FGM. Very much an excellent example of the kind of false equivalences used by extremist lunatics.

Anyone know what happened to Halgeel84? She hasn’t been commenting for 6 months now. One wonders if she has become the victim of the (gentle) Sharia punishment of amputating a hand and can no longer use the keyboard.

I am on the Left, but I don’t see the usual suspects as being much on the Left, other than as their own “private religion”.

The point about adults engaged in political exchanges is that they normally respond to a well crafted argument, as Daniel put above, agree or disagree they would respond and make their arguments known.

However, those who are intellectually incoherent and immature (as seen in the usual suspects) can’t do that.

They find it nearly impossible to admit that they’re wrong or have missed something, which is why I think they are more of a psychological curiosity than anything to be taken seriously.

” his arm twisted by the Guardian, even in the most subtle way, simply because he chose to write one article for CiF Watch?”

CIFwatch has a contributor who called himself ” Guardian hates Jews” The Guardian will see this as an extremist site dedicated to their destruction using gross hyperbole ..where contributors are attacked using the foulest of language and with no justification.

CIFwatch could make itself far more effective if it were even a little more subtle.

“They will not allow anti Islamic posts”

.

I beg to differ. I have posted hundreds and hundreds of posts pointing out what I consider to be off topic and designer posts ..ones trying to suggest that Islam is responsible for violence ..when a billion people seem to live in relative peace.

People who abuse the name of Islam and carry out horrific and psychotic attacks in its name..go for it ..criticise them all night…I’ll join you!

However, the usual suspects seem undecided on the matter.

One very clear conclusion is that the ‘usual suspects’ exist in a parallel universe and have a complete absence of any intellectual approach.

Sorry to mention it in public but, the usual suspects are a very small sideshow to the people who are ‘Left’. The problem is that they are very vocal and the silent majority rather lazy.

peter1 also showed you Shepherd himself, on his blog, saying the same thing.

Did he? Where?

Should he have had his arm twisted by the Guardian, even in the most subtle way, simply because he chose to write one article for CiF Watch?

Most reasoning individuals would say, no.

Most believers in freedom of speech would probably say no, and certainly anyone who can actually see the anomaly of allowing Hamas leaders carte blanche, but not Professor Alderman would probably say no too.

However, the usual suspects seem undecided on the matter.

Hmm.

Do try to keep up!

Naaah, never!

I was simply saying that I had a recollection of Shepherd being reluctant to write a piece on CiF.

I, and peterthehungarian (twice) have shown that either your memory (recall) is failing, or simply that you continue to “imagine” things just in order to nit-pick.
You showed no such thing – only that the website Harry’s Place (a dependable source??) had claimed that Shepherd had been denied the right to reply.

Now, while I freely admit my memory could have been confusing me, it is possible that my recollection was of some earlier comment by Shepherd.

At the same time, however, that link from his own website makes it clear that in the Lerman case he certainly was denied a response – which I personally find both a shame and difficult to justify.

No need for you to get nasty, OK?

p.s. FYI I did in fact spend a couple of minutes Googling for the purposes of confirmation / correction.

He’s been working as a Sheygetz
(To the tune of “I’ve been working on the Railroad.”)
(Hat tip: US tradition)

He’s been working as a Sheygetz.
The Yidelach say Oy vey.
He goes by the name of “Shameless,”
At Cif called “Shay”.
When the Stalinists come calling,
Oh so early in the morn,
Over themselves they are falling,
When Shay gets gets the horn.

Chorus: Shay gets gets the horn,
Shay gets gets the horn.
Bella comes to blow his horn.
Shay gets gets the horn,
Shay gets gets the horn,
Brian too will blow his horn.

TG – Can’t exactly help you, but here is another apposite composition:

The Sound of Schmendricks (to the tune of “The Sound of Silence”)
(Hat tip: P. Simon and A. Garfunkel)

Hello Schmendricks, not my friends.
Hope Cif will make amends.
If you keep on with your pout and shout,
We’ll give you such a zetz in your snout,
But the tsimmes and the broiges still remains,
Kneidlach for brains.
At least no sound of schmendricks.

In restless dreams these schmendricks look
Like any vampire or dybuk.
Matt pours out Rustbucket’s warning.
Schmendricks must fly, coz day is dawning.
But Duvid thrusts a Magen-Duvid through his heart;
Kicks his private part
And shtups the sound of schmendricks.
