Has anti-Semitism

become so commonplace, so ingrained, so banal that it barely raises eyebrows any more?

1. That's surprising

You should post this in GD and see what kind of reception it gets.

2. Feel free.

I'm kind of hit or miss at the moment due to poor health.

3. Now Wonkette is threatening to sue

some blogger for asking if the site was anti-Semitic.

Because they thought they were being oh so funny in referencing (apparently "more" is a reference) a YouTube then they are in the clear.

HA.

5. I'm sure there would be some derivation

of "Wonkette speaks truth 2 power, man!"

6. Uh, wait a minute

The "Jewliani" Wonkette post is, as you acknowledge, a reference to a video which is itself a satire. Are you nonetheless claiming that the poster is an antisemite? Or the people who commented on the post? Or who?

7. What was up with the...

"Jew York Times" in that same blog entry? Is that part of the satire?

8. Yes.

In context, it was part of the same satire. Not that the satire was at all skillful or even had much point, but this is Wonkette, after all. The notion that this was a case of a Wonkette contributor freely throwing around "Jewliani" and "Jew York Times" on his own account seems to be a deliberate "misunderstanding" on the part of a right-wing blogger.
