A Case Study: Part 3

Part 3: Dumb and “Dumberer”/The Challenge

Since they didn’t have the capacity to debate the Fox Commentator’s on his facts,  Media Matters and the rest of the Soros started to do would do whatever they could to brand Glenn Beck  an anti-Semite. Maybe they believed in the anti-Semitic stereotype that Jews controlled the media,and at was needed to rid themselves of Beck was to convince the media’s “Jewish overlords” that Beck hated Jews. Granted that is a ridiculous theory.  But not as ridiculous as the one Media Matters presented next.

On November 9th they attacked Beck-owned website,The Blaze, using a charge that will rank as probably the lamest allegation of Antisemitism made since biblical times when God told Abraham to leave Ur the land of his birth, his kindred and his father’s house, move to the Holy Land to create the first “Jewish neighborhood.”

The Blaze’s infraction was quoting Zubi Diamond, author of The Wizards of Wall Street” in order to push the claim that George Soros may be “betting on U.S. financial collapse.” According to Diamond, Soros’ agenda is “to destroy capitalism.” According to Media Matters, when Diamond called Soros the “mastermind” behind of a “cabal of slithery rich” who “visited financial violence on the American people to get Barack Obama elected,” He was referring to Soros using anti-Semitic imagery. No really, they actually said that.

Interestingly when Mr. Spooky (or is it Mr. Dude) used the anti-Semitic canardthat the Jews control everything they were silent “The pro-Israel lobby [a polite way of saying, those dammed Jooose] has been remarkably successful in suppressing criticism.”

They were also silent when General Merrel McPeak, former Obama for President Co-Chair, was asked during an interview why there isn’t peace in the Middle East. He answered, “New York City. Miami. We have a large vote — vote, here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it.” (In other words those pesky Jews, who control America’s policy on the Middle East.)

And there are plenty of other examples, comments made by one-time Obama appointee Chas Freeman, Obama Campaign adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, Progressive Congressmen Moran and Ellison just to name a few—all ignored by Media Matters.

During his Soros series Beck used an interview Soros did with 60 Minutes where the Pope of Progressivism discussed how he helped to confiscate Jewish property:

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.

Mr. SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that’s–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

Mr. SOROS: Not–not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t–you don’t see the connection. But it was–it created no–no problem at all.

KROFT: No feeling of guilt?

Mr. SOROS: No. [my emphasis]

Ironically, Beck had used this passage to bring out sympathy for Soros:

But when he had to go over and take the lands from the people, his Jewish friends and neighbors who were being sent to the gas chambers, I can’t imagine what that would do to a teenager, or anybody, an adult—well, what did it do to George Soros.

Beck’s only real question about Soros and  the Holocast era is why today at age 80, he considers it the happiest year of his life.

This started the whole Beck and the Holocaust craze.

A few days later, Progressive leader Abe Foxman head of the ADL, who often works harder for progressive issues such as abortion rights and amnesty for illegal aliens, than Jewish issues criticized the way Beck handled his discussion of Soros’ youth in Nazi Hungry saying: “Glenn Beck’s description of George Soros’ actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top.”

But unexpectedly Foxman had to “walk back” his criticism when Beck revealed a letter he received from the ADL guru praising the commentator as a friend to both to Israel and the Jewish Community. Most of the progressive Mainstream Media  leaped all  the Foxman criticism (leaving out of course the walk back part). The small  Jewish community newspapers such as the Jewish Week in New York, who make no attempt to hide their progressive bias, were particularly harsh.

In December, disgraced progressive heroine Helen Thomas went on another one of her anti-Semitic diatribes. Thomas claimed that “You cannot say anything (critical) about Israel in this country”. And that was the nicest thing Thomas said all night. In her speech about discrimination against Arabs she launched into an anti-Semitic tirade about how those rich Jews control America. Thomas drew a standing ovation when she talked about

“the whole question of money involved in politics. We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is…We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way.”

Interestingly, two months later Ms Thomas’ diatribe  was echoed in a piece published written by‘ MJ Rosenberg and published by Media Matters. The Media Matters piece  implied that the Jews ran the government, the media, and if it wasn’t for those dammed Jews,  the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran would be practically “kissing cousins.”

The Thomas incident had no connection to Media Matters except for the fact that it made me wonder, If Soros’  hit men exerted all of that effort on fake charges of Antisemitism against Glenn Beck, would they put in any time criticizing a real example of Antisemitism in the media, Helen Thomas.

I offered a challenge:

… allow me to send a shout-out to the hypocritical folks at Media Matters, you enjoy blasting conservative figures such as Glenn Beck with trumped up charges of Antisemitism, along with writing up one-sided editorials about peoplethrowing around Nazi-related terms.  Since you folks have set yourselves up as the “protector of all Jews” will you now write something that criticizes real Antisemitism spewed out by the progressive Helen Thomas? ….So my progressive friends are you going to finally accept the fact that it is humanly possible for a progressive to be a hater? Maybe after you are done with Helen you can go two of the most Anti-Semitic sites on the internet, the progressive Daily Kos, and the progressive Huffington Post.

That’s if George Soros allows you to.

That challenge was repeated in  Big Journalism a week later. But there was no answer and it couldn’t be because Media Matters  wasn’t reading my posts.   Between July 2010 and Jan 2011 they read and criticized at least six pieces I wrote for the Breitbart Big Sites.  It was assumed they ignored the challenge because Helen Thomas was progressive.
