Reply #9: the poisonous influence of antisemitism on leftist/liberal “causes:”

[IndianaGreen]

Look at what the rightwing and anti-Islamic website Little Green Footballs has to say about this cross-posted article:


7/15/2003: How I Became an Unconscious Fascist

Go ye and read this extraordinary article by Fiamma Nirenstein on the poisonous influence of antisemitism on leftist/liberal “causes:” How I became an 'unconscious fascist.' (Hat tip: Meryl Yourish.) It’s impossible to pull out a representative quote; just read it all. Unless you’re one of the people it describes, you’ll be glad you did. Highest recommendation.

I just now wrote the lady a thank you e-mail & invited her to come speak to us. I hope that's okay, Charles.

I just saw that article today. So true and so painful.

PS
Lest anyone compare Charles' & my posting times and conclude that I'm a speed reader, I followed the link to JWR from another earlier thread.

One word description of her article:
WOW!

I saw this piece first thing this morning. Long, but worth digesting every word. I wonder how she's regarded in Italy. I hope she doesn't fall by the wayside for speaking the truth, like Orianna Fallacci.

GASP! Can it be true? Can those pillars of compassion, the political left truley be... BIGOTED? Say it aint so?!!

As Neo was told in that action movie I love so much just after he had been disconnected from the machine illusion..."Welcome to the real world".

Or in the words of that great philosopher Gomer Pile...
"SUPRISE SUPRISE SUPRISE!"

That the left would and do set their preconcieved pejudices before logic, evidence, country.. even friend and family is something those outside the left have known for a long time. I can only imagine how painful it must be for a person from the left to find that their friends and commrades would rather eat them alive than listen to reason should that account go against their dogma... hmm.. sounds familiar. No wonder the left gets along so well with the Islamo-fascists.


Much, much, more of LGF liberal-bashing here:
