Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    Thomas Friedman really is a douchebag

    "The Irresponsibility of Thomas Friedman"

    http://www.tikkun.org/magazine/tik0811/frontpage/irresponsible

    There are only a limited number of conclusions to be drawn from Mr. Friedman's continued employent and respect as a feature of the NYT and popular pontificater in the M$M, after a documented history of being an idiot and a liar.

    1. Because he is Jewish, working for a Jewish-owned newspaper, and towing the American (powerful)-Jewry party line (i.e., Israel can do no wrong).

    2. Because he is a CIA plant, created to brainwash Americans into believing bullshit. (It's called a disinformation campaign.)

    OR

    3. The journalists, politicos, and intellectual elite of this country really are fucking morons. (Which is not that much of a stretch, given the recent economic crash. Condi Rice graduated from Stanford, you know, and Ann Coulter got a law degree from U of Mich.; Bill O'Reilly graduated from the JFK School of Government. What does that tell you?) Watch morning cable news, and you tell me the collective IQ of our chattering class.

    In other words, either he is a plant designed to specifically lie and misinform the American public, or he is a moron among morons.

    Take your pick.
