Is it so difficult to understand that I regard Jew-bashing as loathsome and unforgivable?

[fpb]

I recently wrote an article against a fraudulent and detestable book by a Jewish author. The book itself had almost nothing to do with Hebraism, being an atrocious falsification of the facts of European political history, and especially of the Socialist movement and of that larger and more vague current of opinion that can be defined as Progressive or Modernist. And the fact that I compared it to one of the most loathsome pieces of Jew-bashing in history should indicate to anyone with a brain (that, alas, excludes most Jew-bashers) that I consider BOTH to be the lowest kind of Index-worthy political pornography, appealing to the lowest human passions, in revolt against reason and decency, and unworthy of serious debate. I condemn one detestable book by one Jewish author exactly as I condemn the whole field of Jew-bashing.

(That does not exclude that some anti-semites have had interesting and even worthwhile things to say. Apart from GK Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, who both took the field against Nazi Jew-bashing as soon as they heard of it, one could think of E.Michael Jones. But cases such as these are rare, and barely worth mentioning.)

Let it therefore be quite clear that anyone who tries to pervert my views in the service of a Jew-bashing agenda will find himself deleted and banned. Jew-bashers and other hatemongers are not welcome here. And yes, I have a specific person in mind; one, alas, who claims to be a Christian minister.

That is beside the point. I dislike the policies of Barrack Obama, as I dislike those of Zapatero or Balkenende. But to compare them to Fascism is crass. Fascism was about murder. It was about the deliberate, intended, purposeful desruction of democracy. It was about the deliberate, intended, purposeful imposition of a tyrannical caste state. It was about warmongering. It was about police oppression. If you want to compare anyone to Fascists, try Vladimir Putin.

But he is not writing about Putin. He is writing about "the American Left"-- as the title of his book states.

In fact, Mr. Goldberg didn't even CREATE the quote that has you so upset-- he is quoting H. G. Wells. (I'm assuming you'll allow that Mr. Wells has the right to claim his people should mimic Fascism, since he lived in the right era?)

Admiration for Mussolini in the United States was widespread, and H. G. Wells, the socialist's socialist and one of the most influential figures in collectivist politics in the first half of the twentieth century said in a speech at Oxford in 1932, “I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis.”
