Faux news rewrites history with the Gibbs vs Hannity debate
Fox conveniently made a few "mistakes" in their transcript of Hanity's verbal fight with Robert Gibbs. The transcript has Gibbs quoted a guest of Hanity's as saying, "Andy Martin called a judge a crooked clammy dude...", when what Gibbs actually said was that, "Andy Martin called a judge a crooked SLIMY JEW." Way to defend free speech, Fox News!

1. Robert Greenwald needs to make a sequel to "Outfoxed..."
...and this is just the stuff that should be in it.

Recommended.

2. Glen Greenwald did an article yesterday on Faux/ Martin and anti-Semitism
Sean Hannity, Robert Gibbs and anti-Semitism: How to go on Fox News
>>>>>snip
It wasn’t just the quantity but the content that made his litigious behavior so notable. The documents he filed were routinely filled with the most extreme anti-Semitic venom one could find anywhere this side of Mein Kampf. The lawsuits were often based on the theory that a cabal of Jewish judges, lawyers and government officials were conspiring against him, and the Complaints he filed would be filled with artfully-constructed allegations along these lines:
Paragraph 8: On July 12, 1988, the plaintiff-Jew met with aforementioned Jew lawyer to prepare for hearing with the Jew judge.

That’s a paraphrase from memory, but it’s a quite accurate illustration of what his documents routinely contained. In 1986, he ran for Congress in Illinois under this campaign committee: “The Anthony R. Martin-Trigona Congressional Campaign to Exterminate Jew Power in America,” and he wrote sympathetically of the Holocaust. As The Washington Times described this year:

In a New York bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a “crooked, slimy Jew.” During the bankruptcy dispute, he filed a civil-rights lawsuit claiming Jewish bankruptcy judges and lawyers were conspiring to steal his property. He asked a court to bar “any Jew from having anything to do with plaintiff’s property.”
In another motion in the case, he wrote: “I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property.”
