Air America Founder: Karl Rove is Behind the Left's Antisemitism

The founder of Air America says the antisemitic and/or anti-Israel posts erupting out of the progressive blogosphere must be a plot.

Probably masterminded by Karl Rove.

Because true “liberals” would never hold such opinions.

Gotta be a plot.

Sheldon Drobny: Liberal/Progressive Anti-Semitism. (Hat tip: The American Thinker.)

“I came to the conclusion that the hostile comments about Israel on these liberal blogs are not coming from true liberals. Most of the anti-Semitism comes from racism and most of the racism I have experienced has come from the far right, not the left.

“So my conclusion is that the bloggers who violently hate Israel and see it in black and white terms are not really liberals. They may even be anti-Semites, but they are not representative of the liberal community that was so active in achieving racial and ethnic equality. It is a contradiction for a true liberal to be an anti-Semite.

Furthermore, I would not put it past the right wing to flood the liberal blogs with hateful criticisms of Israel to advance a perception that liberals are anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. And I see Karl Rove’s fingerprints all over this.”

Note similarities to radical Islamic turnspeak and conspiracy delusions. Note also that the left’s anti-Israel problem has gotten so bad that the financiers feel they need to respond.
