Afraid to challenge America's leaders or conventional wisdom about the Middle East, a toothless press collapsed.
  • Realname Uses "Racist" Instead of "Anti-Semite"!

    Hey Realname, I noticed that recently you have been calling people who criticise the neocons, the Israel Lobby or the Israeli government "racists" instead of your previous favorite smear term of "anti-Semites".

    What is going on? Did the term "anti-Semite" lose some of its potency after being used to smear the likes of Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu and Walt/Mearsheimer for having dared expose the aparthied policies of Israel and the destructive role of the neocons/Israel Lobby in bringing about the Iraq war and distorting American foreign policy in the Middle East?
