It is this kind of talent that attracts such classy commenters as “DR”

And what category of Tikun Olam commenter are you, Dave? The ‘classy’ kind or some other?

I want the world to know what I and many other bloggers think about the competition. Speaking about being “unduly obssessed,” did you feel that LGF’s maniacal pursuit of the Rathergate story (one of his claims to fame) was “unduly obssessed?” Oh and how about the anti-Arab hysteria you’ll find at LGF with headline after headline pointing out in the most lurid language imaginable the supposed worst qualities of Islam…not “unduly obssessed?” I think what I’ve done here is doesn’t compare to the hysteria you’ll find in the right-wing blogosphere on certain subjects.

As for Jesus’ General recommending your blog for JIBA–all I can say is he detests LGF & you’re probably the only blog to his left in the whole bunch. And being to the left of Chuck Johnson isn’t saying much. Would I say Jewlicious is better than LGF? Sure. Would that flatter your blog much? No. As for how liberal you truly are, we’ll let folks judge that for themselves.

And Aussie Dave - maybe you’ve read other posts - but explain to me what is Anti-Semetic about Harumph’s post please…

Very often? I’d say that they are primarily called that….due to their banners, Aussie Dave, Jerusalem Post and the rest of the people involved in it calling them that.

Tikun Olam indeed.

Oh and have you noticed that Jesus’ General has endorsed Jewlicious for best Israel Advocacy blog? How’s that for a capacity for nuance. Guess I am a Liberal after all!

Keep up the great investigative work, though. It is this kind of talent that attracts such classy commenters as “DR” and the “don’t call me an anti-Semite even though I am” Harrumph.

And as for Aussie Dave’s contention that interest in Google rankings is “juvenile,” I guess that’d be news to the entire search engine optimization industry which has sprung up in the past few years designed to increase a site’s Google rankings in search results.

I’d still like Aussie Dave (or the J. Post) to respond to my question about why the Jerusalem Post (the co-sponsor for Pete’s sakes) doesn’t come up at all in the search. To have a competition and then basically lose all that potential traffic from the world’s most popular search engine seems really poor marketing (to me). But as Dave’s said, Google doesn’t matter to him anyway.

I wish someone would just come out and say that the only reason why “Jewish and Israeli” causes are supported by the right-wing is because of their shared anti-Arab prejudice and the fundamentalist Christian belief that Jews are the “chosen people” and are necessary to bring back the second coming of Christ.

And before someone like Aussie Dave paints me as an anti-Semite - stop playing the damn race card. Jews are not above reproach because of your history of oppression. I think all religions are ridiculous and dangerous, especially when mixed with politics, and that goes for Muslims and Christians as well. When you get all three vying for ideological supremacy, you get a f*cked up world, like the one we’re living in now.
