TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT QUICK READ: A 4,200-word pretentious, Roman-numeral-subsectioned screed from the “Dick Cheney of TNR,” Leon Wieseltier, about how Andrew “He Links To Some Good Stuff” Sullivan hates Jews for being so Jewish, those rotten Jews. What, you don’t want to read this? Meh, just click on this Pareene thing instead. [TNR, Gawker]

That still of Leon single-handedly makes me hate the Jews.
I paid good money for this coke.
Jew-bait, queer-bait…whatevs.
Mazel tov, motherfucker.
This is news? The New Republic accusing someone of anti-Semitism is like Bill Donahue accusing someone of being anti-Catholic, Dick Cheney saying someone is anti-American for opposing torture, or Sarah Palin accusing someone of hating retards; it’s just a basic routine, news would be if a day went by and they didn’t claim someone hated Jews.
This kind of how-many-angels-can-dance-on-the-head-of-a-pin dispute is where religion inevitably leads, unless it’s a true divine-right monarchy such as we had under Chimpy. When He was preznident, we knew He spoke with the voice of God and did as He commanded. Go forth and smite the Iraqis, who humiliated My Father! Render unto the Rich everything you have, and reduce the capital gains tax to 15 percent! Whosoever opposeth me, cast him unto Guantanamo until the end of time!
Ah, those were the days.
I could hear baby jesus crying as I read that.
wait
never mind it was just the bean salad talking.
That stuff is not safe for work

Does Andrew include more details about butt-fucking all night? My eyes are still bleeding from the last screed.
Meh. They’re all going to Hell forever, don’t forget.
“The formula,” he declares, is “a foolishness to the reason,” because reason is convinced only “by logical necessity, like the timeless truths of geometry,” and so could not “grasp … the doctrine of three persons” in God.
Wow, Jews are so screwed. Lot’s of good stuff in the TNR article, I suggest reading it over and over and over.
Although, to be fair, it would be hard to explain the doctrine of the Trinity to New Republic readers; not because they may be mostly Jewish, but because the doctrine makes no fucking sense.
“When Auden joked to Niebuhr that the Trinity could hardly be understood in The New Republic, he was lightly lamenting the spiritual shallowness of the liberalism of his day.”
I’ll have to remember that anecdote for my next T-Bird and Kraft Singles party,
I dunno, I think when Sullivan talks about how some Jews are “the good ones” it is in fact patronizing and racist? I know he’s against torture and everything (at least at this current moment he is) but he’s still a nutcase who refuses to imagine Jews as acting in any capacity besides Jewing around. That he acknowledges some Jews as Jewing it up in a good way doesn’t really change that.
Or to be it shorter, it’s fucked up that Sullivan makes a point of calling Krauthammer et al “that evil Jew” instead of “that evil shitbird”
You can feel up Andrew Sullivan, but you can’t gefilte fish!
Needs more pictures.
[re=510324]pampl[/re]: Krauthammer has been Jewing around with terrorists, perhaps?
Zionists are as oversensitive as feminists or animal rights activists. If you say something negative about Israeli policy, it’s as if you called somebody retard or something.
Nice ‘do, Weasel-beast. “Famous people from the 80s” must mean the 1880s.
Yes, Sullivan says some stupid stuff about Krauthammer being Jewish. Weiseltier then goes on to equate opposing Israeli policies with anti-semitism — but even though he writes like Henry James passing a gallstone, I couldn’t parse anything that really confirmed that linkage. And I’ll be damned if I read another word of either of them in an attempt to find out if it’s true — the arguments of effete ninnies amongst themselves, without some exquisite bitchiness thrown in, amount to, in the words of Paul Valery about an entirely different topic, “deep blue on a field of azure.” In other words, indistinguishable from the background noise.
[re=510335]gurukalehuru[/re]: It’s where the Cheney principle comes from – Israel/America is always good, and you must hate that country if you criticize it for committing crimes against humanity when the victims are brown Muslins.
[re=510335]gurukalehuru[/re]: Zionists have a guilty conscience.
Who is Leon Swizzletits?
[re=510335]gurukalehuru[/re]: FUCKING JEWTARD!!1
Pareene’s Mindfuck Rebuttal of Confusion was worse.
Oh, ma-fucking-gog…
People still take Sully seriously? How 2003.
Maybe we should all gasp in horror at Ann Coulter’s latest bon mot as well…
You know who else hated Jews??? and retards???
[re=510349]Tommmcatt[/re]: Whatever happened to Ann Coulter anyway?
I don’t want to know, it’s just I’ve been waiting for years to say that….
I started reading Sully’s reply to Leon and then came upon this sentence But as luck would have it, I have the email trail that gives the full context of this one-line post, so you can make your mind up yourself.
and decided that I had read enough self-absorbed circle jerking for the year.
[re=510349]Tommmcatt[/re]: I’ve heard that he has this Web log at double-you double-you double-you dot Andrew Sullivan dot com that is full of interesting* stories. Imagine that
*Although he skips over the bare-backing

It’s OK, Andrew. Work will set you free.
Man, John Quincey Adams has not aged well.
I don’t hate Jews or Gays…..but now there is nothing worse than a gay Jew!!!!
It’s a good thing Andrew Sullivan is Catholic-ish.
Wait, who am I supposed to hate this week – is it the anti-semites, the gays, the gay jews, or the anti-gay semites? This all gets too confusing; I should insert a “write-notes-on-hand” joke here.
First you realize how tiny the market is for TNR; then you divide that by those who read the sterile snobgrams passing for literature these days and actually look at book reviews; the result is Leon’s posse, which could probably fit into a Starbucks. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
Girls, you’ve been in love too long
I said girls, you’ve been in love too long.
When just her smile takes all your pain away
And you find yourself believin’ whatever she may say
Now when she gets you cryin’
But your heart tells you,
Girl, keep right on tryin’
You know girls, You’ve been in love too long
[Chorus:] You’re a fool for your baby

Why are we discussing these retards? I stopped reading the puerile TNR in high school, and I’ve read Sullivan maybe three times (for the buttsecks). Wieseltier is irrelevant and Sulllivan’s shit is badly written and uninformative, unless you’re his mother.
As far as their mutual religion-baiting is concerned, I’m a Huguenot, so fuck ‘em both.
Wieseltier lost the argument when he defended neocon hack Krauthammer.

Okay, I really thought that was an eighteenth century portrait at first.
