Friendly fire incident.

Poor Alan! Imagine him being denied a soapbox. Will we ever hear from him again? (Yawn)

The reviewer of my book, a woman named Louise Christian who claims to be a lawyer but who demonstrates none of the requisite analytical skills of the profession . . . .

Yelp!

What in the world would make anyone believe, liberals want an honest discussion of issues?

The Guardian is a joke. No one with brains believes anything they print. Like Pravda the truth may be gleaned by assuming that whatever they print is a lie.

And from der Dersch? The left eating their own...gotta love it!

Remember, the Guardian is the paper that violated our election laws so flagrantly and so pathetically in 2000, sending opinion and advocating letters to voters in Ohio regarding our sovereign election. One INTERPOL warrant could have had those SOBs in jail for the indisputable criminal violation they committed.

I guess we were being diplomatic, next time I think it's jail time.

I have never believed the Guardian. Ever. Even.

After all, I am a liberal Democrat..

Not anymore. To them your religion is clouding your thinking. Ask Joe Lieberman.

What's the matter Allen? Get caught out by your fellow travelers? You don't seem to mind a bit when this is done to convervatives.

Wake up Dersh, and fully renounce Liberalism before it ushers in a new Holocaust.

Perspective is one thing, but there's something very wrong with any paper that would publish and then stand behind factual inaccuracies in the service of a political agenda. That sort of cavalier attitude toward the truth is more fitting of a Stalinist newspaper than of Britain's liberal newspaper of note. It's discouraging to see such a prominent and previously honorable publication abandon its standards so readily.

This could as well apply to any newspaper here, of course; get the feeling Alan is not yet familiar with the standards of our own MSM; and he probably thinks the NYT's is still areliable/admirable standard of news reporting. . .

But I am also, as I wrote above, an outspoken Jew and Zionist, and I wrote a section in my book about Israel. It was supportive of some, and critical of others of Israel's preemptive military actions. And it is just this sort of balanced assessment of Israel's behavior coupled with a refusal to demonize the Jewish state that sends Guardian writers into apoplectic fits. Liberalism and Zionism are not considered mutually exclusive in America. In fact, they are complementary. The prevailing view at the Guardian is to the contrary.

LETS LOOK at what the Guardian actually said. The reviewer of my book, a woman named Louise Christian who claims to be a lawyer but who demonstrates none of the requisite analytical skills of the profession, immediately seized upon my section on Israel and focused on it for the majority of her article.

Liberals are throwing the Jews overboard & Dershowitz doesn't understand why he's wet?

Liberalism and Zionism are not considered mutually exclusive in America.

Dershowitz would be advised to reconsider this assertion.
