The American Political Science Association has invited the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies and Director of the notoriously antisemetic Middle East Institute at Columbia University to give tonight's keynote address.
Rashid Khalidi will speak on 'Resurrecting Empire', also the title of his latest 'academic' book. The thesis of the book boils down to the Iraq War being about a Neocon right-wing conspiracy to protect the interests of Israel. Khalidi, like many I'm-not-antisemetic-I'm-just-pointing-out-the-fact-that-there-are-a-lot-of-Jews-in-the-Bush-administration-who-are-really-pulling-the-strings-of-power political scientists also puts oil interests at the center of this conspiracy. Of course, the Jewish Neo-Con conspiracy isn't really a conspiracy because, you know, conspiracies are secret and every one knows that the Jews control Washington's foreign policy.
Everyone in the Administration has some connection to oil, and even Condi Rice is somehow being personally enriched by the War.
I would like to think that the American Political Science Association has sunk to a new low inviting this conspiratorial moonbat to give a keynote address. Unfortunately, the practice is common place in the academy. The neo-conspiracy theories of the Left, couched in academic language, will probably be well received by the audience. Any one who questions the appropriateness of including Khalidi in the program will be branded an advocate of censorship and a Brownshirt trying to quash academic freedom.
The address will be tonight at 8:30 in Salon 1 at the Washington, D.C. Marriott-Woodman Park (near the Zoo). I'll be the guy sitting in the first row, wearing the anti-Bushitlerhaliburton mind probe tin foil hat.

"The thesis of the book boils down to the Iraq War being about a Neocon right-wing conspiracy to protect the interests of Israel"

Rusty:
I don't get the Edward Said keynote address bit - the man died 2 years ago.

There is an endowed 'Edward Said' chair, that Khalidi holds. The reference to Said in the second paragraph is a typo. I blame it on the borrowed Mac I'm working on. It's been fixed.

Is the Tri-Lateral Commission also composed of Jews?

It's all Jews, matoko, they're everywhere. EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU!!! They're behind everything from 9/11 to soggy cereal. In fact, it was Jews that caused the hurricane so that they could raise gas prices, and Jews are slowing the relief efforts. Jew Jew, Jew Jew, Jew Jew Jew. If you don't believe me, just ask Our Blessed Lady of the Ditch, Cindy Sheehan, she got the memo. The only defense is a hat made of aluminum foil, so let's all go buy some before the Jews raise the prices on that too!

It isn't just the left...ever heard of white nationalists? According to them, the whole country is the result of some pro-israel-zionist conspiracy.
Right...

Thanks for nailing that Thanos. I am constantly amazed that most people don't know, or won't acknowledge, that "Nazi" is simply a contraction of "National Socialist", and that Hitler was a big liberal.
And by the way, the white nationalists aren't one unified bloc, but rather the opposite; they are fractious and factional, mainly because of extremists like David Duke, of which all "blue staters" should be proud, because if they all unified under one banner, they could take over the country in a week. Something to remember when you start talking revolution and such, tvarisch; be careful what you wish for, for you shall surely receive it.

Think of the political spectrum not as a line or an arc, but rather a sphere. If you start from any point and travel far enough in any direction, you will end up on the opposite side. The extremes of "right" and "left" are not opposites, but really the same thing. The reason that the Nazi's are considered Right and Communists Left is that they traveled in different directs to arrive at the same place: Tyranny.
