Read this defence of Ken Livingstone. Not only does it do the easy thing (pointing out how completely fucking nonsensical the accusations of antisemitism over the Evening Standard row are), it also does the hard thing (coming up with a strong argument for why Ken’s decision to meet with Yousef Al-Qaradhawi was the right one).
Excellent work. You may want to read the rest of Jim Bliss’s site as well – he makes a lot of sense, for a hippy.
From the other side of the political (and idiocy) spectrum, a terror hawk named Giles at a site named Jacob’s Room has decided to run a vote to come up with a new nickname for Ken – one which reflects their belief that he’s trivialised the Jewish people’s suffering by failing to take the Holocaust seriously. The options include Blackshirt Ken, Adolf EichKen, and Kongestion Kamp Ken…
Ken Livingstone is being targeted while anti semtic biogots Mark Steyn and Tom Paulin are not, even though they have either supported Oswald Mosely or advocated the murder of jews. Where is the logic there.
Anto semitism is evil.
