Robert Lindsay is a self-described “Independent Left Journalist” and member of the Anti-Republican Webring with a disturbing penchant for Nazi apologia. In the wake of the shocking attack on Elie Wiesel by a Neo-Nazi Holocaust denier, which also exposed the world to the ugly underbelly of Radical Left Jew hatred, Lindsay interviewed the founder of Ziopedia, the anti-Zionist website where Wiesel’s attacker proudly retold his story of terrorizing a senior citizen. Unsurprisingly, Lindsay’s interview presents a man who believes that “There is no such thing as a good Jew” as rational and unfairly judged.

Lindsay himself has some odd views on the assault:

“The reporting the incident was fairly hysterical, claiming that Wiesel was “assaulted” when he was accosted, and implying a threat of violence when Wiesel in fact was not injured and there is no evidence the accoster intended any harm to Wiesel.”

It would take some very complicated mental gymnastics indeed to claim that a man attempting to drag you to his hotel room, against your will, to “ask some questions” doesn’t carry with it a threat of violence. I’d suspect if I grabbed Lindsey and said “You’re coming with me, I’m going to get some answers from you!” he’d feel differently about the difference between being assaulted and accosted. Not to mention that by the letter of the law Wiesel was assaulted, but knowledge of the law, or respect for it, is not something we can expect from people like Lindsay or his new friend Andrew Winkler.

The interview is a must read for anyone still skeptical of the convergence of the Radical Left and their National Socialist cousins. Hat tip of course goes to the Jawas.

UPDATE: Also a member in good standing at the Anti-Republican Webring, a 9-11 truther. Are you surprised?

LGF picks up on the move among “Kossacks” from wild eyed folk Marxism to full fledged National Socialism. Two Kos Diaries feature ideas that only the most disingenuous commentator would describe as anything but treading the very dangerous ground of Nazi era anti-Semitism, including accusations that Jews conspire to receive special treatment, that groups like the A.D.L. and AIPAC secretly “mounted campaigns to suppress and harass Arab and Muslim Americans” and that Senator Clinton’s “unwavering support of the principles of the Likkud party” make her more suitable to be an Israeli citizen then an American.

The first essay, written by LondonYank, contains the general accusations against Jews that seem more in line with David Duke’s brand of “patriotism” then the open minded liberalism espoused by the left. Perusing some of his other titles it is clear that LondonYank is a typical Internet leftist in his views on America, the “evils” of Israel and the need to defend Islam and Islamic countries above all else. In this light we see that his anti-Semitic rambling are not so much the result of internal bigotry as the desire to be on the right (left) side of the issue. LondonYank is attempting to shield the groups he feels are oppressed (Radical Muslims, anti-Zionists and Communists) from the backlash of their own often hateful rhetoric. He is in essence doing what he thinks is right, even though the results of his largess are the same as if he republished the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The Dairy dealing with Senator Clinton is authored by James Risser, who’s vile collection of political screeds would do the most black hearted Neo-Nazi proud. Risser’s venom is not solely spewed on the popular DailyKos however, as it seems he’s made it his personal mission to spread his obsessive hate for Jews, Republicans and the right in general to the four corners of the Internet. His anti-Semitism is no doubt real, though it is based mostly on a conscious decision to see all Muslims as oppressed, and all Jews and Americans as oppressors, rather then having an actual ax of his own to grind. This does nothing to tame the flames of his hatred, however, which is palpable. I pictures Risser, while reading his essays, hunched angrily over a computer, with a Palestinian flag draped over a table next to him where his Arabic language edition of Mien Kampf (a gift from a man he met at an “end the occupation” protest) has a place of honor on his anti-oppression alter.

These two diaries are unfortunately not anomalies. The left, embracing Radical Islam as an ally against the right, is adopting more an more of the anti-Western, Anti-Liberal and ultimately anti-Semitic views that has set Imperial Islam on a collision course with freedom loving peoples across the globe. They have chosen their side, they have chosen hate, barbarity and a world of slavery over democracy. The left, exemplified by people like Risser and LondonYank, and indeed most of the commentators at DailyKos seek to destroy all that is Western, tear down the very foundations of civilization in an orgy of self-loathing and rebellion,fueled by their ennui and the hateful cries of new allies, the radical Muslims who are teaching the left to embrace some very old ideas.
