re: #173 Killgore Trout

and this is why (among other reasons) I stopped reading Think Progress….

Officials from the center counter that the “inappropriate” language came only in personal tweets from staffers — not on CAP’s Web site or its Think Progress blog. The tweets were deleted and the authors apologized.

Officials said the center is staunchly pro-Israel.

“The clear and overwhelming record of the literally hundreds of articles and policy papers from the Center for American Progress and ThinkProgress demonstrates our longstanding support both for Israel and the two-state solution to the Middle East Peace Process as being in the moral and national security interests of the United States,” wrote Ken Gude , chief of staff and vice president for CAP, in an e-mail response to questions from The Post.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for racism, sexism, anti-Semitism or any form of discrimination,” Gude wrote.

They hire antisemitic staffers but they’re supposed to hide their views in “official” tweets and posts. I don’t find that comforting.
