I was responding to this:
Not quite sure what you’re linking to or how they prove your point. The second one seems to to show that some posters who comment on Move-ons pages are antisemitic. so?

*We have received complaints that anti-Semitic messages have been posted on the Action Forum under the auspices of MoveOn.org. Some of the examples are “media owning Jewish pigs,” referring to Senator Joseph Lieberman as “Jew Lieberman,” “Zionazis,” and “why are the Jews so Jew-y?”
We recognize that the Action Forum is an open forum intended to foster the free flow of ideas. Nevertheless, since such profoundly offensive content is appearing on a board clearly linked to MoveOn.org, we believe you should assume some responsibility to respond to this hateful content. Specifically, we would urge you to exercise your own First Amendment rights and issue a statement making it clear that your organization finds such messages abhorrent.*
ADL is pleased with Mr. Pariser’s responsiveness to our concerns and believes the matter has been resolved satisfactorily.
But honestly* The Stentorian*? It’s a crappy biased blog.
Go some facts?
And that the anti-semitic posts get a thumbs-up from 95 percent of responders. As in:
After Sen. Joe Lieberman lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut, one Moveon member stated: “Jew Lieberman first step. Corporate Clinton will be next. Impeachment of BushCo will be third.” This one came in with 95 percent of Moveon members responding approving the “Jew Lieberman” post. (Moveon helpfully records the percent of people agreeing with each post.)
Does Wiesenthal Center meet your standards?
Those are* anonymous posters *on a blog. There is no evidence they are liberals.
Yes, but the Wiesenthal Center basically had the same complaints- the Move on was allowing hate-language comments by posters on it’s site.
That doesnt mean Move on is racist.
You didn’t even click on the Wiesenthal Center link, did you?
You’re reduced to claiming that 95% of the responders to a post on Moveon.org are not liberals. That’s a bit pathetic.
The Wiesenthal Center link is a massive pdf that relates not to anti-semitism but to “Boycotts, Divestment, Sanctions” applied to the Israeli establishment. Parsecs of difference there, unless you happen to be Jewish and feel that oppression of the Palestinian Arabs is a good thing. Criticism of Tel Aviv, the Knesset and Netanyahu is hardly anti-semitic.
And analyzes it to be anti-Semitism.
I have no idea how you manage to post that the Wiesenthal Center link does not relate to anti-Semitism when its title is: “Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) Against Israel: an Anti-Semitic, Anti-Peace Poison Pill”.
If the Wiesenthal Center equates all attempts to divest in Israeli companies as anti-Semitic, then they don’t have any credibility on the matter. Reasonable minds can separate the actions of the Israeli state from the Jewish people in general.
Talked about a mind slammed shut. Did you read the PDF at the link?
How so? Is it your opinion that any criticism of the Israeli state is inherently anti-Semitic?
I have now skimmed it. I do not find the argument any stronger having done so.
ENOUGH!
Anyone wishing to discuss the relative anti-semitism of the Left may take it to a new thread.
Do not continue to hijack this thread with that discussion.

Bernie is drawing crowds
*“If you were to ask me a couple of months ago whether we would have larger crowds than any other candidate out there, I would not have told you that that would be the case,” he said recently.
In Keene, N.H. a thousand people showed up to see Sanders speak. They couldn’t all fit in the room. Same thing happened in Minnesota — except the crowd was estimated at 5,000. His reaction: “Stunned. Stunned. I mean I had to fight my way to get into the room. Standing room only. Minneapolis was literally beyond belief.”
When Kurt Meyer helped host an event for Sanders in the small town of Kensett, Iowa, he was expecting 75 people. Maybe 125 tops. “When we had something in excess of 300 people show up, I was astonished,” Meyer said. That’s more than the town’s entire population.
Meyer, who is the tri-county Democratic Party chair, sent a text to one of Hillary Clinton’s senior people in Iowa. “My text was ‘objects in their mirror may be closer than they appear.’ I sensed there was something going on,” he said.*
Clinton would be a little worried if Sanders was 53 or even 63. (he’s 73)
That’s just 6 years older than Hillary, you know. And Reagan turned 70 shortly after his inauguration.
If he were to get very far, I just hope he does not cave and start combing his hair.
yes but he looks way older than Hillary. Sad to say but for a woman you really have to look as young as you can when running for office , except in a few cases.
He reminds me of the crazy guy from Back to the Future movies, Doc Brown.
I can save the country, but I have to have forty pounds of plutonium to do it.
