I may be in the minority, as my stances are in many matters, in the Tucker Carlson brouhaha, but it was only a matter of time before the Israeli lobby and the neocons would find a villain to help people forget 68,000 dead and counting in Gaza, most of them innocent women, children, and old people. They did the same thing to Pat Buchanan when he dared to say that the Israeli lobby and the U.S. government were not one and the same. Buchanan was and is as anti-Semitic as I am, and I am not. But anyone who dares to do or say anything that the neocons can use to besmirch those they don’t agree with is fodder for them.

They now have a new boogeyman, but I for one don’t buy it. Their glee reminds me of Watergate. President Nixon had just won 49 states, and the Washington elite were in a daze. Then some fools broke into a place they were not supposed to break into, and goodbye, Nixon. Tucker Carlson is not Nixon, but he had someone who is a nonperson on his podcast, so now “they” demand a goodbye to Carlson. The fact that other respected and famous journalists have interviewed bad guys doesn’t count. Murrow, Rather, and countless others have done it with impunity. Mike Wallace once claimed in a nationally televised roundtable discussion during Vietnam that if he were present and able to warn the leader of an American military unit walking into a VC trap, he would remain a journalist and simply report it, not warn his fellow Americans. I went bananas and wrote in one of my columns that Wallace should be drawn and quartered, plus some other personal insults. It was his turn to go bananas, and he confronted me at a party given by Bill Buckley. I told him to shove it.
“Canceling Tucker would be par for the course by those who see anti-Semitism in the slightest criticism of Israel.”
The plan is simple: Link any criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism and presto. The plan has been around for a long time, but with Netanyahu going ape down there, it is imperative that it works in the U.S., which provides the money and the arms. The horrendous killings in Gaza are now a thing of the past. The anti-Semitic guest of Tucker Carlson is the headline. What made me laugh out loud was Bret Stephens writing in the Times. Desperate to make his point and to preempt social media, he writes that “You can be sure that someone will respond to this column by pointing out that my Kishinev-born grandfather changed his name from Erlich to Stephens…” In other words, this clown Stephens is provoking some fool on social media to attack him because of him being Jewish with a Christian name. I don’t and never have used social media—too low-life for me—but preempting anti-Semitic jibes by unknowns is a new one.
Canceling Tucker would be par for the course by those who see anti-Semitism in the slightest criticism of Israel. The American Conservative magazine was created in order to stop Uncle Sam from needlessly going to war in search of nuclear weapons held by Saddam Hussein. Thousands upon thousands of dead later on, we now know that the neocons and the Israeli lobby knew all along that there were no weapons of mass destruction in the Iraqi arsenal, yet they now dare to scream anti-Semitism when a journalist brings some clown to his podcast. Isn’t it a bit like the boy who cried wolf once too often, or am I an anti-Semite for even daring to write this?Best Price: $2.10Buy New $8.95(as of 08:21 UTC – Details)
The Iraq War and the overthrow of Ghaddafi have not brought peace to the area and have brought millions of unwelcome migrants to Europe. The N.Y. Times columnists are shrieking that the United States is led by “a lawless and depraved” person. They’re screaming about Tucker Carlson and raging anti-Semitism in the media. I wake up in the morning, train hard, and then while reading the papers wonder what country I’m in. Is it Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, or Mao’s China? Everyday churchgoing Christians who voted Republican are described as white supremacists and anti-Semites. A man called Jeffrey Toobin, caught on film masturbating at The New Yorker magazine, appears in the Times declaring that “We’re in a worse place than we were under Nixon.” Some lefties might agree with him, but I advise them not to shake his hand.
Yes, dear Takimag readers, the left in America hate this country and will spread any rumor to detract from the fact that Uncle Sam is numero uno right now, but he better not say anything about Israel taking over the Left Bank because it will prove once and for all what a horrible anti-Semite the good uncle is.
