RE: Pat Robertson – Haitians ‘Swore A Pact To The Devil’
MY COMMENT: Fellow ‘pompous ass’ Brit Hume couldn’t have said it any better!
P.S. There is so much sickness (mental illness) in this world. And since you mentioned the “devil” Pat, what about your ‘blood diamonds’ pact with Liberia’s Charles McArthur Ghankay Taylor (formerly one of Africa’s most prominent warlords / currently on trial for war crimes)?
FROM WIKIPEDIA: …According to a 2 June 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot,[18] Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia’s mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson’s mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda. In response to Taylor’s alleged crimes against humanity the United States Congress passed a bill in November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President Bush of “undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country.” At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade…

For what it's worth, I see more and more use (especially by Likudnik hasbarists) of the term "Jew-hater" in place of anti-Semite. Draw your own conclusions.

RE: Ben Stein said that Ron Paul calling the US “occupiers” was “using the same antisemitic argument we’ve heard over and over.”
MY COMMENT: Sometimes I get the impression Ben Stein is not in full control of his 'faculties'.

The sooner the NYT goes under, the better. The only recent thing I can credit them with is the 2007 resale by Tishman Speyer Properties of the old New York Times (15 story) Building to Lev Leviev (Africa-Israel diamond magnate & builder of illegal settlements in Judea/Samaria) at the height of the real estate bubble (for three times what the NYT sold it for in 2004). The building (along with others) has lost so much in value since Leviev's 2007 purchase, that his empire is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Well done, NYT (and Tishman Speyer)!

P.S. FROM WIKIPEDIA: ...New York Magazine reported in 2007 that a security company hired by Leviev [at his Angolan mines] had been accused by a local human rights group that year "of participating in practices of 'humiliation, whipping, torture, sexual abuse, and, in some cases, assassinations.'[12] Leviev did not directly respond to the charges, but noted his charitable activities in Angola.[13]...

RE - "New Think-Tank Seeks to Regulate Historical Analogies", Talking point for analogy #5: It must always be remembered that the only people licensed to make analogies between the horrors of Nazism and any present-day cataclysm are Israelis themselves and their many supporters in the American press.

SEE - Peres: Iranian nuclear bomb akin to 'flying death camp', Ynet News (Israel), 08/18/09

(EXCERPT) Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev hosted Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres for talks Tuesday that were focused on the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear standoff.

During their four-hour meeting, Peres and Medvedev discussed Iran's nuclear program. Peres said, "A nuclear bomb in the hands of Iran means only one thing – a flying death camp."

PS. Jacobo Timerman opined in "The Longest War" that WWIII would probably be precipitated by the use of an inappropriate analogy.

ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE: "Cheney’s Inferno", by Jeff Huber, July 22, 2009

(EXCERPT) "...Cheney has a reach-around relationship with Israel’s hard-Right Likudniks. Sidney Blumenthal of Salon.com reported in August 2006 that Cheney and his henchmen were sharing National Security Association intelligence with Israel as part of an attempt to escalate the Iraq war into open hostilities with Iran and Syria. Many are convinced, as am I, that Israel’s 2006 invasion of Lebanon was agreed upon at a meeting between Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu at an American Enterprise Institute conference in Colorado..."
