re: #49 Charles Johnson

Speaking of dumb propaganda, there’s a hilarious post by Joel Pollak at Breitbart.com, desperately trying to spin Mitt Romney’s references to “culture” in his Jerusalem fundraiser speech.

HOW AP, NPR LIED ABOUT ROMNEY ‘JEWISH DONORS’ SPEECH, USING PALESTINIAN PROPAGANDA

The “lie:”

Pollak links to several news articles, and not one of them uses the words “Jewish culture,” even though he puts it in quotes to suggest they did.

He’s right that Romney didn’t use those words either, and nobody reported that he did. Here’s what Romney actually said, though, referring to Israeli economic superiority over Palestinians:

So yes, he didn’t use the words “Jewish culture,” but there can be no doubt at all that this is what he meant. “I recognize the power of culture” can refer to nothing else, and when Romney cites the “power of culture” as a prime reason for economic superiority, he is implicitly saying that the economic inferior is also the cultural inferior.

Joel Pollak is a clown, posturing for a right wing base that could not possibly care less about anything they read making logical sense.

Don’t know how they are going to spin this but Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres told Wolfe Blitzer in a new interview that military and security cooperation under President Obama is as good or better than it has ever been.
