BS: From Britain With Bigotry

From: Once Famous

In my on-going series of articles on anti-semetism and the far left, here is another, written by distinguished Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.

As usual, I apologize for the lack of a blue clicky and ask that you cut and paste this URL:

Yep, another one Guest. Didn't see the one in the music section. Must have been in a real boring thread. Like all that shit about some place call Sidmouth or something. Good thing I didn't.

There will be more.

Yeah he trained some well Jeri. Like gets like.
It is simply replying to someone who consistenly attacks and slurs people here in the same manner he/she treats us..
Why give a name, to what purpose? MG doesn't!
At least there is a valid reason to repond to him/her with dismisal or repultion.
This is what He/She set out to achieve and in settinng out to achieve that aim He/She has had mariginal success.
MG does not come here to make Friends. If some feel the need to nurtur this Anon personality...carry on.
Just wait till the attack is personally directed at yourself or at someone here that you really and who has done nothing to provoke, like he has done to many men and women and then perhaps the little Charity towards such a twisted person will wear thin...then again maybe it won"t.
Either way it;s a mute really.
treat People the way the treat me....sometimes better, seldom worse and often just the same. This is a case of "the same"
Sorry that bothers some but MG's feelings don't concern me anymore...NOT ONE BIT.
Give a name? ok then.

I'm not sure what another "see? Bigotry still exists!" thread will do for the situation. Of COURSE bigotry still exists...against the Jews, and against many other groups. And it is important to understand that some criticism is well-founded, though usually exaggerated for the sake of argument.

If you have to refer to the obvious, take a little time and explain what makes this one different.

And, yeah, MG...making a blue clicky is NOT hard...if you can make chords on a guitar, you can learn to type

Dersowitz is a brilliant mind...he is sharp, witty, educated....and off the deep end on some matters. I have seldom seen anyone who can do so well at making an analysis fit the conclusion he wishes....and sometimes he is even right!

Bill--

Maybe you've hit on the answer- "if you can make guitar chords"-- perhaps making guitar chords is also not so easy for "Martin".

Subject: RE: BS: From Britain With Bigotry
From: Ron Davies

Also, let's not leap to the conclusion that "Martin" actually read the book.    If he actually read the entire article, that would be earth-shaking in itself. It had more than one word over two syllables--might be a strain. His track record of understanding what he reads is also, unfortunately, not very promising.

There's always a first, however. We live in hope.

Its a bad step to ban any academic for their race. I am dismayed if it's true that academics are being black banned because their Jewish.

However, I can support the "black banning" of any academic who propagates the idea that there is a place for torture, as Dershowitz does. This is a very good reason why he should be treated as a bad smell by any institute of learning, not because he's Jewish, but because he is writing papers which can be used as justification by government security agencies to use coercion and pain as methods of extracting information.

Alan Dershowitz's Tortuous Torturous Argument

alan "the needle" Dershowitz

We have a (non-Jewish)professor in a university here in Australia who has written a treatise suggesting the same thing. After an outcry, he has been removed from the refugee tribunal here - and good riddance.

What is this list that British University teachers have drawn up? Who have they banned from where?
I haven't heard about it.
We do have a free press here and some very forthright and articulate members of the Jewish community here in England. It seems strange they have not made their voices heard over a piece of overt racism of the type you seem to be suggesting has taken place.

I'm sure there must be some English Jews on mudcat, perhaps they can shed some light on this matter.

There is a long history of our Academic institutuions getting involved in protest for various causes, my personal favourite being Cambridge flying the Tibetan flag when the Chinese Premier was here having his arse licked by Tony, who had banned pro-Tibetan protest and confiscated flags etc.

Whatever the reasons behind the boycott, regardless of whether it was ill-conceived or not, we should remind ourselves that flinging about accusations of anti-semitism every time some raises the subject of Israel is a neo-conservative ploy and not an invite to genuine discussion about the problem.

Subject: RE: BS: From Britain With Bigotry
From: Azizi

Since y'll already know what side of the fence I'm on in this discussion {I'm anti-bigotry in any way, shape, or form}, may I
respectfully point out my dislike of the term "black banning".

"Black banning"-yet another instant when 'black'='bad'....

Which is not to say that all these 'black=bad are racist in origin. See for example this little tidbit of information:

"A ballot comes to us from the Italian word balotta for a little ball, since such balls were used for secret voting by placing them in the appropriate urn or box. The older, literal sense survives in English in black ball, since it was once the custom to place a black ball in the voting container to indicate an adverse vote; this became an effective veto in some places, especially gentlemen's clubs in London. One successful candidate in the 1997 election, the former BBC war correspondent Martin Bell, standing as an anti-corruption independent, wore his trademark lucky white suits throughout the campaign; this fitted the origins of the word candidate splendidly, as it derives from the Latin candidatus, meaning "clothed in white", because it was the custom in Rome for those putting themselves up for election to the Senate to wear a white toga."

Source: http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/elections.htm


Note in that article 'white'='good'

IMO, the cumulative effect of those words as progagated by a decidedly Eurocentric educational curriculum and mass media that has such a negative effect on both Black people and White people.

Oh well, at least in reference to fiscal matters being
"in the black" is good, right?

And, since this is a music forum, I'll quote the words of
"the {one time} hardest working man in show business",
James Brown "Black is Beautiful"

And I'll add my comment:
Other people are too.

well my first reaction is that there must be a hell of a lot more repressive regimes than Israel for the university lecturers to vent their annoyance against. I would guess its pretty galling for Israeli citizens - threatened as they are by suicide bombers in their daily lives.

However if the aim of the ban is to get us talking about a political situation that in truth few people care about in this country, I suppose they have succeded.

Many are right about one thing. There are such slimeballs here that I would not want to have anything to do with you.

Not all. but the whiners who I bend out of shape for sure. There are some nice people I communicate with here and they know who they are. But the scumbags who embarrass the world here I have no use for.

My friends are plenty, in 3D, and are real people with good educations and have real values. They are not on web forums because of their dysfunctional lives.

The dischord I hit with those who get bent out of shape, pose as attacking "Guests" and just plain old piss and moan here about what I post continue to make me as successful at getting a point across as I could possibly ask for.

Thanks for the blue clicky. Stick around. I might need one again soon for those too lazy to just cut & paste.

Subject: RE: BS: From Britain With Bigotry
From: Bill D

Martin is a hard one for the editors to keep up with. He posts quite a bit, and some of his posts are totally obscene and offensive and some are borderline, and some are just tedious. It's quite a game for the 'clones' catching them all and deciding which ones cross the line and which are just aruumentative and grumpy. If it were up to ME, I'd ban him on principle for the volume of really nasty stuff and the work he causes.....but it ain't up to me.

He knows some stuff, and he 'could' be an interesting curmudgeon, like we already have several of, but he can't leave the insults alone. There's been lots of speculation why anyone would work so hard at being obnoxious, but no one can be sure.

   Maybe his purpose on the Mudcat is to make a few other posters look good by comparison.........

Subject: RE: BS: From Britain With Bigotry
From: Big Mick

His purpose is too get folks to dance, nothing more, nothing less. Occasionally someone dings him and he whines. But for the most part this is sport for him. And folks get sucked in, including myself. We need to just stop. You want to really hurt this slime? All of you indignant folks really want to start a program to hurt him? Commit yourself to ignoring him, no matter what he says. He will continue to bait, and the bait will get really tough. He knows you can't resist, so he will keep trying. Ignore him long enough, he goes away.

But you won't. And he knows it.
