British antisemitism is alive and well

Before we bring you the story (via Bloviating Zeppelin) of George Galloway's rejection of Israel's very existence, let's first tell you who the man is, if we may:

George Galloway Out of Control  ...."To those unfamiliar with him, he is a British demagogue, of Scottish and Irish ancestry. He has been in the British parliament for decades where, in spite of condemnation for his extremism, the British have been forced to concede he may be their best orator.  The Spectator, in 2001, awared(sp) him the title of Debator(sp) of the Year."

Wikipedia tells us this about Galloway:  ...."Galloway is a campaigner supporting the Palestinian side of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict who advocates an anti-Zionist stance."

Now here is the main story about this man:
Bloviating Zeppelin  "Particularly from George Galloway, a member of Britain’s parliament and as Left as you can get in the UK.
"See below, as Mr Galloway walks away from a student debate at Oxford University, when he discovers a student is Israeli and states “I don’t debate with Israelis.” "

"Thank you, kind sir, for proving the British are in fine form with regard to being an entire race of GOWPs and for ensuring their antisemitism and their cultural and historical demise.  Can you imagine the reverse happening with someone to the Right of any aisle?"

And in the aftermath;
'George Galloway Humiliated Me', Says Israel Debate At Oxford Organiser Mahmood Naji
"Now, after Galloway's repeated complaints he was "deceived", debate organiser Naji has spoken out to set the record straight.
" "I was not intending on replying until I saw you once again attempt to, in my opinion, slander me on Press TV," Naji writes in his open letter. "
" "But let's look at the facts. Fortunately, all my correspondences with your secretary are saved in my inbox so we can refer to this record while scrutinising your allegation."
"In an email to Galloway's secretary, Naji said:

...."It is strange that someone who takes such a hard-line view on debating Israelis should omit to ask whether or not his Jewish, pro-Israeli opponent, who has debated in Israel, is in fact Israeli," he continues. "Your secretary did not go on to ask me about Eylon's nationality.
"As the organiser... Should I let you know if your opponent is a vegetarian in case you have a policy of not debating vegetarians? Am I misleading you if I do not tell you your opponent's shoe size?
"Think hard about the absurdity of your position. In none of the previous debates I had organised did it even occur to me to inform the debaters of their opponents' nationalities. This particular debate was no different."
Israel Matsav published Mr. Galloway's statement about the incident here:  "It's bitter, racist, moronic, anti-Semitic and disgusting. You'll need a shower after you read it.
" I am posting it only so that you won't click on his page to see it."

Mr. Galloway concludes his statement with these words:
....Apartheid Israel is a cancer at the heart of the middle-east. Only it's replacement by a bi-national democratic state from the Jordan River to the sea will cure this. That is what I am fighting for.

Hollywood ratifies Obama alliance

Thomas Lifson  "While anyone who pays attention knows that Hollywood has become source of funds, propaganda, and social ties for the progressive movement, the institutional body language was startling. It was a symbolic form of vassalage, signifying the switch of the entertainment industry from a mission of speaking truth to power (see Reagan and Bush presidencies) to one of support. We no longer tap shoulders with swords, we swoop in on the top award of the most prestigious event of the entire entertainment industry, and award it from the presidential palace."

The father of the sequester

Hope n' Change

"Simply put, the sequester was proposed by the White House in return for the ability to borrow more money than the debt limit legally allowed. And the sequester would be irrevocably triggered if Democrats didn't subsequently make intelligent spending cuts. Which, of course, they didn't and won't. Ever.
" While the administration of the actual sequester spending cuts will be handled badly, with the deliberate intention from the Whitehouse of causing maximum pain and publicity, the actual amount of spending being cut from the nation's budget is roughly equivalent to a mouse's fart in a hurricane.
" However, the real significance is that this may also be the first time that the GOP stands up to this pathological liar of a president and forces him to keep his word."

All the President’s Media  What happens when the legendary investigative reporter at The Washington Post investigates Obama and reaches findings that do not fit the pro-Obama media narrative?

20 Of The Most Embarrassing Moments In The History Of The Democrat Party

As Lucianne says:  Memorize all. You'll never lose another argument with a lib.

Townhall  "For example, one will virtually never hear that the Palmer Raids, Prohibition, or American eugenics were thoroughly progressive phenomena. These are sins America itself must atone for. Meanwhile, real or alleged “conservative” misdeeds — say McCarthyism — are always the exclusive fault of conservatives and a sign of the policies they would repeat if given power. The only culpable mistake that liberals make is failing to fight “hard enough” for their principles. Liberals are never responsible for historic misdeeds because they feel no compulsion to defend the inherent goodness of America. "Conservatives, meanwhile, not only take the blame for events not of their own making that they often worked the most assiduously against, but find themselves defending liberal misdeeds in order to defend America herself. -- Jonah Goldberg

CNN Critical of MSNBC’s Hiring of Axelrod, Gibbs

Washington Free Beacon  "CNN’s Reliable Sources was critical of MSNBC’s hiring of former Obama officials David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs, calling it ‘propaganda.’"

Weasel Zippers says, "You know MSNBC has gone over the edge when even CNN accuses them of pushing “propaganda.” "  Video

Leaked Memo Show Soros-Funded Leftist Group Advising Hiring Private Investigators To Go After Republicans, “Eviscerate” Conservative Government…


Weasel Zippers  "Describing the control Republicans hold on North Carolina state government, it gave progressives a list of recommendations. Among them:
• “Crippling their leaders (McCrory, Tillis, Berger etc.).”
• “Eviscerate the leadership and weaken their ability to govern.”
• “Pressure McCrory at every public event.”
• “Slam him when he contradicts his promises.”
• “Private investigators and investigative reporting, especially in the executive branch…”

Matthews: Fast and Furious investigation is racist

Matthews is a real piece of work.
The Examiner   "MSNBC host Chris Matthews, a former Jimmy Carter aide, suggested that the congressional investigation into Attorney General Eric Holder’s handling of Operation Fast and Furious is motivated by racism.
“I don’t want to start too much forest fire here but it is my instinct: is this ethnic?” Matthews asked San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown last night. “It smells like it to me and I think there is a disdain on the part of some Republicans . . . that do talk down to the president and his friends,” Matthews added.
"Brown, earlier in the segment, had already accused Issa of “leading a lynch-like mob” against Holder."

Democrats, on the other hand, are noble and operate on a higher plane than do Republicans.

Things to consider

Americans Paying $900 More A Year On Gas Under Obama

MSNBC, Other Liberal Media Use Another Selectively Edited Video-This Time Smearing John McCain  "The video shows Caren Teves, whose son was killed when spree killer James Holmes attacked a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises, asking the senator about assault weapons. “These weapons don’t belong on our streets,” she says.
"The video then cuts to McCain responding by saying, “I can tell you right now you need some straight talk. That assault weapons’ ban will not pass the congress of the United States.”
"However, a simple YouTube search finds the full video, uploaded by user “PoliticoMafioso,” of Senator McCain’s town hall meeting, including his entire response to Caren Teves’s question:".... 

 
Whoa: Columbine Survivor Pens Powerful Letter to Obama on Gun Rights  "This open letter is a must-read -- not only for the case it lays out, but because of its author's personal history (click through for the full, unedited missive):"
The evidence is very clear pertaining to the inadequacies of the assault weapons ban. It had little to no effect when it was in place from 1994 until 2004. It was during this time that I personally witnessed two fellow students murder twelve of my classmates and one teacher. The assault weapons ban did not deter these two murderers, nor did the other thirty-something laws that they broke....
MIchelle Malkin;  Why Do Democrats Hate American Manufacturers?
".As an Ilion local official noted, “Remington is not only a major employer, but it’s a historic employer. It’s been part of our very fiber for 200 years.” "

Blackfive; Guns and Coffee at Starbucks "In the 12 states with unfettered rights to “open carry” a gun, including Virginia, and the 16 others that are mostly open carry, Starbucks has rebuffed attempts by gun control activists to keep guns out of the national coffee shop chain. "
Michael Ledeen; Shut Up or I’ll Kill You   "The protectors have it half-backwards, at the very least. It’s fine and dandy to provide security for those at risk, but the “hate speech” rules and laws give wrongheaded protection — moral and political protection — to those who incite violence against their critics. Nobody, and no group, should be sheltered from criticism, even vulgar criticism. Not Jews, not Muslims, not neocons, not liberals. Nobody. As it is currently played, the free speech game is wildly biased in favor of those demanding that their critics be silenced or punished.
"These are the fruits of the wrongheaded doctrine of multiculturalism, the misguided notion that all cultures are equally worthy of respect — especially those that attack the core values of Western civilization."
 

From NRO: The little-reported side of the sequester

Even with the sequester, the 2013 budget will be larger than last year’s. Is that really doomsday?   "Any day now we can expect White House spokesman Jay Carney to take to the podium and read a prepared statement: “And when he opened the seventh seal, there was a small decrease in the rate of increase in federal spending.” "....

What Kind of Cuts Grow the Economy?  "Spending reductions must be large, credible, and politically difficult to reverse."

The Great Sequester Panic  "The sequester may be bad policy, but it’s not going to tank our economy."
Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell
Larry Kudlow; The Pro-Growth Sequester; No, it’s not Armageddon.  "The Obama administration is whipping up hysteria over the sequester budget cuts and their impact on the economy, the military, first providers, and so forth and so on. Armageddon. But if you climb into the CBO numbers for 2013, you see a much lighter and easier picture than all the worst-case scenarios being conjured up by the administration.

Sandra Fluke: “We Still Don’t Let Transgender Folks Join the Military, That Needs to Change”

And they call conservatives extremists!

Gateway Pundit   "The genius of the far left in action…"While not out vacationing in Europe or asking her fellow Americans to pay for her $9 a month birth control, liberal darling Sandra Fluke is out giving speeches on college campuses these days."
 
Sandra Fluke has brought her unique insights to bear on U.S. military policy, while teaming up again with Planned Parenthood to support the HHS mandate.
Last week, Fluke told a California college that Barack Obama’s repeal of the “Don’t Ask, “Don’t Tell” policy did not go far enough, because it did not include transgender soldiers.
“We still don’t let trans-folk join the military,” Fluke told a gathering at Claremont McKenna College on February 13. “That needs to change.”
Service in the military, she said, should be open to the entire “the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning” population, according to the Daily Caller.



"Trans-folk"?
 

Bullying the Boy Scouts

Richard Larsen  "It may not be surprising to some that groups and organizations across the country that are so openly opposed to “bullying” are so adept at it. Politically correct groups advancing the same-sex agenda are pervasive in their denunciation of bullying against those who are “different” yet seem to have mastered the practice against those who don’t share their beliefs. The recently announced review of the Boy Scouts of America policies, which reject avowed homosexuals from membership, provides a case study in collective bullying and intimidation of a quality organization dedicated to instilling character in its members."
....
"Rather than create their own programs based on their own “values,” morally relativistic organizations seek to destroy that which is good; based on solid, everlasting principles. Their success in forcing their conformist political correctness is unraveling the social mores of our cultural fabric, strand by strand."

Priest pedophilia not linked to celibacy: Pope's No.2  "It is homosexuality, not celibacy, that is linked to pedophilia, the Vatican's Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said on Monday, seeking to defuse the sex scandal that has battered the Roman Catholic Church." Queerty disagrees, of course.
