Martin Gibson,

I can't help but notice that "Zogby" is one of your opponents in this thread and that you have neglected to call attention to the anti-Semitic derivation of his/her posting handle.

"ZOG," as you know, stands for Zionist Occupation Government, the extreme right wing and neo-Nazi code for the theory that Jews control various governments (including the American government), the world financial markets and the mass media.

As I'm sure you also know, this anti-Semitism has also gained great currency among the extreme left wing. Go to any anti-globalization demonstartion and you'll see the Jews and/or Zionists blamed for all manner of evil.

That left wing extremism, as you know, has great currency here on Mudcat. I'm sure you'll recall all the postings on Mudcat when Bush and Blair invaded Iraq to the effect that Bush was invading on behalf of Israel who wants to control the entire Middle East.

It's pretty obvious that the extreme left and the extreme right have a happy common ground in their anti-Semitism.

So, Martin, how come you haven't exposed Zogby, whose very name betrays anti-Semitism?
