When Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz was exposed as a plagiarist, fraud and serial liar by Norman Finkelstein, Harvard was in a bit of a pickle. Two other law professors had already been exposed as plagiarists, and Dershowitz was caught ripping off From Time Immemorial, a work of pseudo-history that made its author a laughingstock.
So Dershowitz resorted to trying to slime Finkelstein. Usually, Dershowitz calls people anti-Semites when he can't rebut their arguments: just recently, he accused Desmond Tutu of being a Jew-hater. That wouldn't work with Finkelstein, whose family was almost completely exterminated by the Nazis during the holocaust (only his mother and father survived). So Dershowitz resorted to the technique of the BIG LIE: the more outrageous the lie, the better). Dershowitz accused Finkelstein of calling his own mother ( a woman who testified at trials of Nazi war criminals) a Nazi collaborator. Dershowitz, with the full support of Elena Kagan was allowed to put this repulsive libel on the official web site of Harvard Law School. When asked if it was a good idea to put such filth on the Law School's official page, Kagan said she had no problem with it.

To slander a holocaust survivor is grotesque, and shows how loathsome Dershowitz and Kagan are. The fact that a thug like Kagan holds a position in the government is a national disgrace.
Cat Stevens was barred from entering the US a few years ago. Where were these concern trolls back then? At least he can sing -unlike the Savage Wiener.
For proving once again that George Lucas is the greatest filmmaker of all time.
Case in point: Stephanie Zacharek of Salon. Her deep dislike for George Lucas and his movies is well-documented but then, a seething resentment against Lucas is mandatory if you want to write for that web site. From David Brin (who wrote The Postman, a movie that pretty much ended Kevin Costner’s movie career) calling Lucas a fascist to Alynda Wheat, who called Lucas a racist to his face and became a total drama queen when he ridiculed her for being a cretin, to David Thomson, who attacked Lucas for not putting more sexual content in movies aimed at ten-year-old boys (how long before this guy gets busted in a men’s room?) to Steven Hart, who thinks that just because he never read mythology or studied comparative religion (as Lucas did before he switched his major from anthropology to film studies) then George Lucas couldn’t have, either. Zecharek has taken her unhealthy fixation on George Lucas to new lows over the years, not only by making up her mind to trash his films before so much as watching them (I defy anyone to read her “reviews” and not think the fix was in) -even attacking him for the cameras and projectors he uses!
So is it any surprise that Stephanie Zecharek uses her review of a Star Trek movie as an opportunity to take another swipe at George Lucas, this time for not including sexual content in Star Wars? Four years AFTER the last Star Wars movie was released? Of course not!
Lucas must be the best filmmaker of all time. Just look at how many people still talk about him and his movies, even when reviewing other films!
The language spoken by Jabba the Hutt and his henchmen.
To put it bluntly, these people think their shit doesn't stink.
Once again serial liar Michael Goldfarb has shown what a mendacious twit he really is. I think Greenwald has made a mistake by arguing with this moral leper for the same reason that wrestling a chimney sweep is a bad idea.

Some of the stuff here is getting ridiculous. O first went wrong by throwing Rev Wright under the bus? well, first he defended his relationship in a pretty decent speech - you may remember it? then, when Rev Wright showed himself to be all about him, he was cut loose.
It showed that Obama was five gallons of shit in a ten-gallon hat. He said in his speech that he could no more denounce Wright than he could his own grandmother. Then he did it. The logical conclusion: Obama is willing to throw his own grandmother over the side if he thinks it will help him politically.
Not that it matters: Speeches are hot air. DEEDS are what matters and Obama has done NOTHING different from Bush when it comes to torture, illegal wiretapping, gay rights and just about every other issue. And this is while he's still popular. If he doesn't have the nerve or desire to anything positive now, he never will.
I'm still searching for any pro-photo-suppression Democrats who criticized Obama when he triggered controversy by originally announcing he would release them.
You might as well search for five-pound pearls while you're at it. Most Dems are still infatuated with Obama, so pointing out that he hasn't DONE anything differently than Bush when it comes to the war, torture or other crimes is futile as of now -even though it's necessary to call him out for it.

I have a very simple standard as to whether a movie is any good:
Would I pay to watch it again?
Out of the top 10, the only two I'd watch again are Godfather and Seven Samurai.
These critics are morons.
I get the impression that if John Yoo had written a memo saying that human sacrifice was legal, Chuck Todd would have gone on TV claiming that it's debatable whether ripping the heart from the chest of a human being strapped to an altar is a crime.
What a servile weasel!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
