Sharpton & Barnicle Agree: Anti-Semitism Explains Opposition To Bloomberg On Gun Control
Reverend Al (which denomination ordained him after what training) certainly knows about antisemitism, having inspired America's only pogrum. Or second if you count the Harlem riots in the 30s. Barnicle, his typical race baiting. Through all this travails over the years, easy to forget that somewhere around 1990 he, or his employer, settled two suits accusing Jews of racism. Perhaps that taught him it's better to accuse large groups of folk of being racists and antisemites rather than focusing on specific individuals. Regardless, Al and Mike can find the bigots in the mirror each morning.
With the Left, any opposition is deconstructed into racism or sexism or some other Leftist-defined “bigotry”.
How about, WE JUST WANNA BE FREE!
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
. C. S. Lewis
. English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
When my arguments are met with charges of bigotry, I always ask: “So you have no intelligent facts to support your position?”
I guess JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership) hates Jewish folk, since it roundly called Mayor Nany the douchebag that he is.
...claimed that there was a “level of anti-Semitism” aimed at New York Nanny Michael Bloomberg
I didn’t know Bloomberg was Jewish.
Thank you Liberals, for once again, pointing out these “differences”...
From this Jewish perspective, I would agree completely that painting liberty-loving critics of Bloomberg as "antisemitic" is nothing but typical infantile lefty name-calling.
But I'd quibble with with the presumption of New York as "the greatest city in the world" before Bloomberg assumed the mayoralty. After all, the taxes and crime and traffic, among other things, were outrageous decades prior to that, causing New York to lose a good chunk of its middle class population.
Bloomberg isn't that awful, and doesn't arouse much hatred. People just disagree with his policies. But the cardinal rule for commentators is they have to say something and baseless charges are always available for the taking.
People really don't like him because he is short.
Ah, for the good old days when a congressman insulted another congressman a duel would solve the problem.
I am of Jewish identity, and I despise Bloomberg.
Paid liberal trolls will push that it’s anti-Semitism...because that lie works for them. Liberal elites are terrified of being forced to defend their ideas without benefit of some kind of guilt trip.
No. He’s Jewish. Therefore, anyone who objects to his policies is anti-Semitic, and anyone who has a problem with Obama’s is racist and homophobic. Identity uber alles./sarc
