(Conservative) Washington columnist sees antisemitism around every corner

Joel Mowbray has decided that General Zinni's disagreement with neocon war policy is antisemitism. In a Townhall.com (DC) article, he accuses the general of using the term "neoconservative" synonymously with "Jew". And from that, he delcares the general antisemite.

I knew you couldn't say anything negative about Israeli policy without being shouted down as an antisemite, but this is the first I've seen that extended directly to neoconservative policy. It was only a matter of time, I suppose, given that neoconservative policy seems to be essentially Israeli policy.

If General Zinni meant neocon to be synonymous with Jew, he certainly didn't say so. But, incredibly, Mowbray puts the onus on him to deny that is what he meant!

If he didn't mean to use "neocon" as a code word for "Jew," he should say so.

This appears to be his reasoning:

It is well-known that those who are labeled "neocons" within the administration—whether the number-two official at the Pentagon, Paul Wolfowitz, or undersecretary of Defense Doug Feith—are almost always Jews.

Don't ask me for an analysis of why the top neoconservatives also happen to be of Jewish decent. I did know that, but I didn't know that the necons in the administration are "almost always Jews". Besides, Mowbray says "whether...Wolfowitz, or...Feith", naming only two - which rather confuses the statement that otherwise would seem to be talking about any number of people. However, if it's true simply that "those who are labeled neocons...are almost always Jews", then perhaps it isn't a coincidence. As the law says, res ipsa loquitur. Personally, I've noticed that there are a good number of top names amongst warhawks and policy makers that sound awfully German. Of course, those could also be Jews. Whatever.

One thing is certain, General Zinni never mentioned anything about Jews in his complaints about policy, as Mowbray himself admits, and to start censoring the general with the antisemite label is a fascist ploy that only destroys Mowbray's own credibility for me.

One thing Mowbray points out that I happen to agree with is that, contrary to General Zinni's assertion that the neocons (Jews, in Mowbray's explanation) "captured" the president and vice-president, those two asshats were just as bent on war as the neocons - they didn't need capturing. If you asked me, and you didn't, I'd say Cheney at least could be put in the neocon column. Bush doesn't know what he is - he's just an idiot with a hard-on. He has no policy. Only a vain and vengeful personality.

Anyhooo...

Heads up: neocon is a code word for Jew. According to Joel Mowbray: As the name implies, "neoconservative" was originally meant to denote someone who is a newcomer to the right. In the 90's, many people self-identified themselves as "neocons," but today that term has become synonymous with "Jews"..."neocon" has become code for "Jew."

Christ.

I mean, Jesus.

I mean, good grief!

I'm going to send a message to Joel Mowbray and ask him what term I can use in place of neocon so as not to be anitsemite. I'll let you know what his answer is.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
