As regular readers of this blog know, comments are approved before they are published and deleted if they are not. Given the issues we cover, we receive a disproportionate amount of trash, much of it abusive and antisemitic. Today, though, there was a little more than usual, including such gems as, “I hate jews who do nothing but protect the illegal country of Israel,” and “neocon jews wield almost unchallenged power in republican party foriegn (sic) policy and control many op-ed pages in major american newspapers.” I wondered why. Then the penny dropped. Glenn Greenwald linked to us. Charming company you keep, Glenn.

Salon is just viciously anti-Israel/antisemitic, plain and simple. I used to read and post on Open Salon and was just astounded by the outright Jew-hated on there. People were actually proud of their hatred. It was my first introduction to eh antisemitism of the left and one of the pivotal events that caused me to become active in pro-Israel advocacy.
ha ha Ben,
We should hold a contest on this trash :)
I have a moderation queue full of neo-Nazis, American holocaust deniers, their mates and the odd Hungarian fascist.
I think it is a literary form of tourettes syndrome!
