Right CarolC. It's not even on the radar screen. Except among liberal intellectuals, which is what the subject of this thread is clearly about. Not about people who are eating Freedom Fries or action movies exploiting 9/11,or popular culture generally. No, I don't expect to see a Zionist villian in a theatre near me this or next month. Maybe being raked over the coals has disposed you to want to miss the obvious, but the subject is still a trend among liberal intellectuals, not Everybody. You seem annoyed by the idea that I've heard other people than you criticising Israel. Sorry I think I have, I'm probably mistaken. I live in the Ohio River Valley, and now that I think of it when I thought they said "Zionist" they were probably talking about their "sinuses", which is a common complaint. So, my mistake. Never mind.
