Well I think we can agree that there is some overlap	oberliner	Apr 2012	#27
Yes, I definitely think there is some overlap,	Crunchy Frog	Apr 2012	#49

You should have seen some of the incredible attacks on Glenn Greenwald	Crunchy Frog	Apr 2012	#24
Greenwald won't back down regardless and although he is Jewish, he does not carry the weight	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#55
Yes, I agree about Greenwald not being as influential as Krugman	Crunchy Frog	Apr 2012	#57
I'm disappointed with Krugman. He defends deliberate liars like Peter Beinart....	shira	Apr 2012	#8
What reason would Krugman have to defend Beinart..if it is so obvious to you that	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#9
Exactly. Why lie deliberately? And why defend such lies? Good question...	shira	Apr 2012	#10
You believe Krugman is lying on behalf of the deliberate liar Beinart and that	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#11
First, you need to recognize lies for what they are....	shira	Apr 2012	#13
I'm delfecting? LOL This thread is about Paul Krugman's endorsement of the book	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#14
Then let's go right to the article. Krugman writes WRT criticizing Israel...	shira	Apr 2012	#15
I asked you why do you believe Krugman would support the deliberate liar Beinart, your words.	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#17
Before I answer, realize that you very rarely directly address questions to you...	shira	Apr 2012	#18
Address what lies? YOU believe they're lies, I believe they hold an opinion worth	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#20
An opinion that conveniently leaves out facts in order to criticize unfairly is propaganda.	shira	Apr 2012	#30
They're lies to you and as I have said, the lack of support Israeli policies	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#37
So lies by omission are not lies in your opinion, right?	shira	Apr 2012	#39
No, you forget it, and go play your silly game alone. n/t	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#43
Once again we see that when you can't defend your argument, the debate is over.	shira	Apr 2012	#46
The deep irony of your post is appreciated, at least by me. n/t	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#50
The difference b/w us is that I have no problem defending my views & answering questions	shira	Apr 2012	#59
Is it your claim that Beinart has not received criticism for his political views on Israel? The	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#19
I claim no one credible has said Beinart is antisemitic, as Krugman inferred...	shira	Apr 2012	#31
Then you don't know what "tantamount to" means, as he has used it. As for the remainder of your post	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#35
No, you don't know what it means. Tantamount to antisemitism means equivalent to...	shira	Apr 2012	#36
You're something else, you know that? Of course it applies, and could you at least	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#38
So give me an example. Who has virtually called Beinart an anti-Semite...	shira	Apr 2012	#40
Tom Friedman, Joe Klein,	Crunchy Frog	Apr 2012	#51
Also getting harder to claim that "The Lobby" silences criticism of Israel	oberliner	Apr 2012	#52
lol, no, oberliner, their job is merely becoming increasingly more difficult via individuals	Jefferson23	Apr 2012	#54
Or that they're becoming somewhat more impotent in the face of "facts on the ground".	Crunchy Frog	Apr 2012	#58
While Beinart COULD be deliberately lying, Martin Sherman's words cannot be taken as evidence for	LeftishBrit	Apr 2012	#33
So what if he's rightwing? He is, but that has zero to do with the facts....	shira	Apr 2012	#34
Yes, some people who claim to be leftists have hard-right views, or support those who do	LeftishBrit	Apr 2012	#53
