I don't believe Sobran's an anti-Semite (I think the term, like "racist", is overused and at times meant to intimidate).

In this charming essay, Sobran blames "the Jews" for communism, fascism, secular humanism, the atom bomb (no, I'm not kidding) and almost every other evil in human history. If he's not an anti-Semite in the true meaning of the word, I don't know who is.

Re #179: YOu are so right. The hatred is so divorced for facts, it would be funny if it were not scary. Just an example:

In intellectual life, Jews have been brilliantly subversive of the cultures of the natives they have lived amongst. Their tendencies, especially in modern times, have been radical and nihilistic. One thinks of Marx, Freud, and many other shapers of modern thought and authors of reductionist ideologies. Even Einstein, the greatest of Jewish scientists, was, unlike Sir Isaac Newton, no mere contemplator of nature’s laws; he helped inspire [ what does that mean?] the development of nuclear weapons and consistently defended the Soviet Union under Stalin [absolute falsehood: Stalin hated him, and Einstein, incidentally, knew that].

So, instead of thanking Einstein for writing that famous letter to the President and helping us to win the war ---- Einstein's only contribution to the Manhattan project --- he blames him for that?

Incidentally, why omit the most major case of "subversive" activity in the form of starting a new religion --- that of Jesus Christ. Thank G-d he forgives that one Jew for the sins of "subversion." Of course he would much prefer if Jesus were Teutonic --- a Goth, say, or at least a Burgundian.

Like Sharton, Sobran needs a "schtick" to play to the target audience, who lap up the anti-semite stuff.

I'm not letting either guy off the hook for using it, but I believe they're both too intelligent to really believe that stuff.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but I'm convinced Sobran says that stuff to ingratiate himself with the people who read him, and of course, to make $$$ (which is worse, in some ways, than actually believing it).
