A Truly Sick-Making

interview of McCain campaign mouthpiece Michael Goldfarb by Rick Sanchez of CNN in which Goldfarb states that Rashid Khalidi is "anti-semitic" and Sanchez mildly defends Kahlidi. At least Sanchez pounds Goldfarb when he says "we all know" of another person Obama hangs out with who is anti-semitic. Goldfarb has a faintly thuggish cant-take-this-sh*t-too-seriously grin, even as he channels Joe McCarthy. Does he mean Brzezinski? Wow. There are some consolations in this: the great reveal of the Hitchcock suspense thriller has taken place at last, and no American except Jeffrey Goldberg can be in doubt about the neocons' Israel-first agenda; these people are about to vanish from the American stage making way for my lefty krew; and young Goldfarb, said to be a protege of Bill Kristol, may well have destroyed his reputation, with some of the shrapnel winging their way into the tumid loins of his progenitors and my turgid prose.

    Brezinski, Ali Abumineh, not to mention the ever popular good minister Wright. William Ayers also seemed to feel that that Sirhan Sirhan is a political prisoner. Then of course there is the big guy, Rashi Khalidi.

  2. Jack Ross says:

    I assumed Goldfarb meant Rev. Wright. And if I were Goldfarb I would have just come right out and say it, with nothing to lose by being fired in the last week of a losing campaign, and becoming a profitable martyr for the wingnuts.

    And bigger guy, the oatmeal-faced Senator LIeberman, the orthodox Jew, married to a racist Jew, with tons of Israeli-Likkud in Israel, who look on the USA as a cash cow to be milked for Israel lebensraum.

  4. Sword of Gideon says:

    Why is his wife a racist Jew. She appears to be a nice person. What do you base that on.

  5. Sword of Gideon says:

    Ah, the legendary Jack Ross. How are things on Atlantic Avenue scumbag.

    Phil, what if the war in Iraq turns out not to have been such a huge error? Will you get on your knees and apologize to every neo-con? What makes you so confident? Your monkey might not be able to cut and run from Iraq–will that be sad-making for you?
    Phil's "lefty krew" are about to come to power? Gosh, who knew Phil was controlling the world! What a great cover too, an unemployed journalist in a 1600 square foot house in a part of New York no one goes to! Add to that a wife who won't fuck him and a dedicated neo-Nazi following!
    Yep, the lefty krew are coming, so look out Israel! Our time has come! It's almost worth voting for Obama just to watch people like Phil get their black little hearts broken by their magic Negro. Two years from now, facing a full scale revolt by the electorate, President Obama will probably start a war with Pakistan/Iran/Syria just to show he's not a coward. That might actually do Phil in, so I'm waiting. My guess is we have not yet begun to kill Arabs!

    Jack and sword, get a room, hehe.

  8. contrarian says:

    Phil, How can you say it's over for the neocons when Rahm Emmanuel might be Obama's CoS?

  9. Jacqueline_Hyde says:

    The wingies may be right. O'boner and McCracker seem to be on the same page when it comes to The Promised Land(tm). One side cheers while the other wrings its hands but the outcome both seek is the same: an impregnable fortress on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea.

    "an unemployed journalist in a 1600 square foot house in a part of New York no one goes to"

    Is this supposed to be bad? It sounds a hell of a lot better than (divorced, estranged from his daughter) hedge fund oligarch Bruce Kovner in his Fifth Avenue mansion with it's lead lined safe room.

  11. Richard Witty says:

    Goldfarb didn't mean anybody. He was asking for someone else to feed him some ammunition.

    It was McCarthyite.

    "I have a list of "two" card-carrying anti-semites that Barak Obama has communicated with in his life".

  12. anon says:

    Let's see, so McCarthy wasn't on to anything at all?
    Why is it that the American masses know nothing about what happened in the USSR and Europe after 1917? This ignorance contrasted to what happened in Germany after Weimar Germany…
