re: #131 Nekama

Yes he has. Charles has been magnificent. I’ve been a huge fan for a long time, but I feel he has been losing his way recently. Recently he wrote something to the effect that Obama has been no less supportive of Israel than GW Bush or other Presidents, a statement that is very hard to defend.

I think that the focus on idiots like Alex Jones has taken his eye off what is far more important.

I think Alex Jones is precisely a huge part of the problem. The return of the Birch Society, Glenn Beck and Ron Paul means that the right doesn’t care much about Israel anymore. Popular conservative sites like Drudge frequently highlight and link to Alex Jones and conservatives don’t seem to mind. Big Journalism linked to LGF on the Reuters story, resulting in maybe 200 clicks. Hot Air had a thread about the story which only received 100 comments. They just aren’t that interested anymore and whacky libertarian philosophy is a huge part of the problem.
