Reply #150: Pitiful point as these same tactics (attacking the source/provacateur) was used for Helen Thomas

[shira]

In fact, some of the posters defending Tutu here STILL cannot come to grips with Helen Thomas' bigotry. They dismiss clearly bigoted demonization of Israel reported by top Jewish organizations committed to fighting antisemitism. Just recently, a few posters here couldn't believe PEW polling results showing how 97% of Palestinians have antisemitic views of Jews. I'm still waiting for a few here to admit that what is attributed to Tutu is antisemitic...

It's absolute denial.

Why?

See, this is a problem I recently told you I have with many so-called "leftists" - unwilling to self reflect or self criticize. Liberals, by definition, have no problem with self-reflection.

There's zero evidence the author misstated or distorted anything attributed to Tutu.

Here's a Guardian article based on a Tutu speech from close to a decade ago. Try it on for size...

See anything wrong with that?
