re: #48 Charles Johnson

I don’t see someone like Pamela Geller as helping Israel. And I am not defending her behaviors or vocabulary. Nonetheless, as has happened before, when I’ve tried to pinpoint issues that may have important relevance - such as jihadist beliefs and their widespread and manipulative power or notions of the moral high ground in war - a raucous blather ensued because of who wrote the trigger article I used or, like today, because I pointed out that sometimes paranoids have real enemies. My point is - perhaps due to a years-long Presidential election campaign in which bizarre or invented right wing ‘outrages’ took place every day that needed to be sharply (sharkly?) ripped apart and disposed of - LGF has begun to sound as rabid and unsubtle as those you were arguing against. I’m an intelligent, polite person, not a liar. I posted at Village Voice because I thought I should directly address the author of the piece. And I joined in the conversation here because that’s what here is for, no? Civil discussion? Something more substantial than ‘which team is she on?’
