More anti-semitism from the left.
It's really coming out of the closet these days.

He's good buds with Chavez, another anti-Semite.

On the foreign policy front, Chavez is just as confrontational. He has been a leading supporter of FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and has signed several pacts for the exchange of military materiel with Iran. At an event for Syrian president Bashar Assad, Chavez denounced Israel as a genocidal government that is "a common enemy," a murderous arm of the Yankee empire. Statements of this kind, and continual harassment, forced the head of the Jewish community, Rabbi Brenner, to leave Venezuela.

Yet despite all evidence and the arguments of eyewitnesses, Stone and his collaborator, Mark Weisbrot, who co-wrote the screenplay, insist the charges against Chavez are "nonsense." They contend that U.S. media have unfairly depicted Chavez as a dictator, oligarch and friend of terrorists, even through Chavez himself defended ties to FARC and military agreements with Iran.

Asked by the New York Times to explain factual inconsistencies in the film and the failure to acknowledge fair criticism of Chavez's human rights record, Tariq Ali, another script writer, said, "It's hardly a secret that we support the other side. It's an opinionated documentary."

Or, maybe people are paying attention to what's always been obvious.

True. During the Bush years, all the left anti-war demonstration always had a pro arab and virtual neo nazi contingency represented.

So another thug hugging leftist kook turns out to be an anti-Semite.

Imagine my shock.

Ya, I want to start calling it Racism.

While so many want to focus on the 'tea party', I would like to show how this has been going on for years.

Racism, misogyny, homo phobia.

Just because the media protects the left, and under reports.... doesn't mean this isn't happening.

Yes, when church leaders meet with anti gay government officials, it is a serious wrong. However when movie stars meet with anti gay governements like Iran.... it is ALSO wrong.

The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."
