David Gregory, Pls Come Forward in Libby Case

by Philip Weiss on January 30, 2007 · 7 comments

Last night, NBC Nightly News reported Ari Fleischer’s testimony from the Scooter Libby trial, in which the former press guy said he had sought immunity from prosecution because he had done the very thing that Libby is accused of doing: disclosed the fact that Bush enemy Joe Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA—Fleischer said, to two reporters, including David Gregory of NBC. Fleischer’s testimony hurts Libby because he said that he had learned as much from Libby himself some time before.

NBC should have reported whether its employee, Gregory, agrees with Fleischer’s account (According to Fox News, the other reporter, John Dickerson of Time, disputes it).

This is really most bizarre. I have been receiving snapshots of this page from people such as my hebrew teacher, who profess to find in it proof that I am indeed the loathsome spotted reptile of fable. However, none of the above were actually posted by me, so the case is not proved.

I have a feeling Rowan is telling the truth in that he did not write those things on this page. However, I have read many of his actual quotes and they are of a similar vein. I imagine his pursuit of learning Hebrew is so that he may more closely study Judaic texts, to which I strongly encourage him, but I am inclined to think that he will simply use whatever he learns to further attempt to demonize jews. Many of us are critical of Israeli policies vis-a-vis the Palestinians, but Rowan seems to have an irrational problem with "the jews" and not just Israel.

Just my opinion. Google him and find out for yourself. Perhaps he can provide for us a list of comments on the web that are genuinely from him.

Rowan is definitely not an antisemite. He has nothing against the common Jew. He is after a particular piece of the Jewish Elite which creates a whole lot of today's problems and havoc in the world. Anyone with common sense and some research skiils will recognize the problem. Equating this very small but extremely powerful group of people with all "Jews" is a great diversionary tactic used by them and their minions, but more and more people are starting to see through this. And remember, as Foxman has said, "I don't represent the Jewish people, I represent the donors".

Exactly.

I refuse to even use the term "antisemite" – it's cant.

oh, what the hell, I might as well admit it : I want to go there and start another record label.

Since obviously ‘the Jews’ aren’t going to help me with my hebrew, perhaps there are hebrew-speaking Satanists I can learn the language from. I shall allow the matter of content to sort itself out – if they are more helpful to me than ‘the Jews’, that presumably means that Satan is going to be more use to me (and hence ultimately to ‘the Jews’) than “yahwe”.
