Donald Douglas Beclowns Himself (again), and Insults His Friend

Yeah, Donald did it again...

In a desperate attempt to lash out at me, Donald posted the following:

Thousands March Against Israel in Los Angeles: Racist Repsac3 Sees Conspiracy of 'Phony' Protest

"Perhaps readers will feel sorry for him, as apparently Walter James Casper III is a dead man walking, with a debilitating heart condition, but it's just sad that he's losing his cognitive faculties as well.

Thousands turned out for the protest march I covered last weekend in Los Angeles. See the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, "Pro-Palestinian protest in Westwood draws thousands, causes Wilshire to shut down."

Never mind that, though. It turns out that near-death Repsac3, in his diminished capacity, is bizarrely warping reality in his ongoing demonization efforts and hate-mongering. It was a "phony" protest, or something:"


An interesting theory as posted, but obviously an outright lie--provided one doesn't "neglect" to include the parent tweet the way Donald seemingly chose to, for reasons I leave to the reader to determine, of course:
Right... It wasn't me who called the protest phony (or "phoney"), but Donald's erstwhile friend MadJewessWoman. So if Donald truly believes anyone's seeing a "conspiracy of phony protest" or "losing their cognitive faculties," based on calling the protest he attended phony, well...it ain't me Donald's insulting. It's his friend, MJW.

And for what it's worth, as far as MadJewessWoman goes, I have to say I agree with him...


"Well, we know Repsac hates Israel and the Jews --- given his long history of tweeting support for the racist Occupy Wall Street movement, not to mention his tweets backing the Jew-hating BDS movment --- so his conspiracies are all of a piece. Right in line with this old man urging Muslims to stand up and blame the Jews for the September 11 attacks. Yep, this is what Reppy's all about:"
It's no surprise that Donald makes these claims without ever citing or screencapping the posts or tweets where I say anything anti-Semitic or racist or conspiratorial. He doesn't because he can't. Donald wants me to be those things, so he just makes it up out of whole cloth and hopes his readers will believe him just because he said it. (Sadly, a few probably do, but there's no point in arguing with anyone too stupid to require evidence. Let people like that believe as they will; sooner or later they'll drown in a rainstorm from looking up too long, and good riddance when they do.)

The fact is there are no tweets supporting BDS--in fact I don't support that movement, and never have--and while I did once post a tweet saying "Occupy Wherever You Are," it's quite the implausible stretch for Donald to imply that that tweet is in any way racist...not that the implausibility of his...well, "conspiracy theories" regarding me have ever stopped him before...

Without evidence it's just Donald talking, and his claims are worth every penny you paid to read him making them... 'nuff said.
Repsac3 started trolling me over six years ago, upset that I was paying no attention to him, and he's never given up. That is some obsession. His stalking hate-blog is now members-only, but he continues to troll my online presence relentlessly, and at this point it's actually clinical and perverted. The dude should give it up and take care of his health, enjoy whatever remainder of time he has on this good green earth.

And most of all, he should just disassociate with the racist anti-Israel protesters he's been reaching out to. Seriously, these are terrible people. Liars and racists. Too bad for Reppy, but it's come to this in his twilight.

First off, anyone following those links will note that they go to another guy's blog post from 2008. (Yes, 2008. That right there should tell you just about all you need to know about what we're dealing with.)
If that isn't enough though, Donald obviously fails to comprehend the meaning of my comments. I was trying to goad Donald into responding to my arguments, not telling him I was feeling lonely. (If you don't spell it out for him...) Follow the links and decide for yourself whether Donald's suggestion that I was "upset" because he was "paying no attention" to me holds any water. (And while you're there, you might also notice who followed who to that blog post, at least based on the order of the comments... Donald talks a good game, but the evidence is seldom in his favor...which is why he so seldom bothers to offer any...)

Second, he fails to explain how a "stalking hate-blog" can even be a "stalking hate-blog" when no one--including Donald--can read it, (and didn't he whine for years that I must "TAKE. IT. DOWN"?) or how in the hell I'm trolling his online presence without ever addressing him--as near as I can figure it, he thinks he owns the people he talks to or about, thus making those people and topics off-limits to bloggers with whom he disagrees; both of which make him sound crazy.

The sad fact is that Donald thinks that anyone who dares disagree with him over the internet is a stalker &/or a troll. There are countless blog posts and tweets where he repeatedly proves this. In that regard, Donald needs to grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin. Like it or not, people are going to disagree with the things he posts, sometimes to his face. Calling them trolls or stalkers doesn't prove anything except that Donald is a little paranoid.
That he sees me as some kinda mortal enemy who controls "henchmen" and forces them to mistreat Donald online and off is obvious to anyone who reads his many screeds about me. As far as THAT goes, I don't even know what to say; It's at least as crazy as it sounds, and yeah, it sounds fucking nuts (and way more than just a little paranoid), even to me.


I commented on his blog. When he didn't like that anymore, I posted on my own blog, discussing his take on one issue or another. When he attacked me by name in screeds like the one I'm replying to, I responded to those on my blog, too...just like I'm doing now. Sometimes we travel in the same political circles, discussing the same topics and/or talking to the same people. These are the things Donald calls "stalking," "harassment," and "trolling." I'm sorry these things so disturb him, but he really ought to get over it, because it ain't going to change. Much as he may wish it were otherwise, he's not going to intimidate away those with whom he disagrees no matter how loudly he screams "TROLL!!!," so he really ought to try to find away to cope with everyone disagreeing with him, online and off.

Finally, I'd ask Donald where he got the idea I was dying any time soon--I have to assume it isn't from laughing myself to death over his endlessly ridiculous claims about me, though one really does never know--but the chances of his offering any evidence in support of that bullshit claim are pretty much nil, as well. Suffice to say he is indeed lying. I assume that comes as no surprise given the rest of this post, but just to confirm: I am not dying; Donald is once again lying.

Life's too short to put up with the willfully stupid:

Twitter / thatMrGguy: Thousands March Against Israel ...

Bad news for MadJewessWoman, since many of these bloggers claim to be her friend... Just sayin'

(OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if MJW retweets "Doug's" post herself... In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all...)

X-Post: That guy Pretends "NeoCon" Means "Jewish" in Yet Another Failed Attempt to Attack Liberals

Only one of us used the word "Jewish..." ...and it wasn't me.
In fact, if the guy were to've read the linked Mother Jones post, he might've read that the whole "Neocon" means Jewish" canard is what's actually anti-Semitic. (not to mention as phony as a three dollar bill, as that guy's own neocon self proves... Whatever he may be, it's pretty obvious that the guy is not Jewish. If he were, he'd be using it to claim every disagreement with him is proof of anti-Semitism.)
"Neocons exist. They're neither shadowy nor conspiratorial. They're part of an actual political movement with a very visible public profile. They tend to be hawkish, solicitous of Israel's right wing, hostile toward Arabs, and they played a big role in committing the United States to a disastrous war in Iraq. That's just reality, and the mere fact that many neocons are Jewish doesn't give them a magic shield that protects them from criticism.

There's nothing anti-Semitic in Dowd's column. She just doesn't like neocons, and she doesn't like the fact that so many of the neocons responsible for the Iraq debacle are now advisors to Mitt Romney's campaign. Pretending that this makes her guilty of hate-mongering toward Jews is reprehensible."

Like his "Octopus" freak-out back in January, that guy (by way of quote) says that "...depictions of Jews as snakes or puppeteers are classical anti-Semitic images, right up there with blood-sucking..." Now, anti-Semites have used octopuses, snakes, and puppeteers to individually or collectively attack folks who are Jewish. But it does not follow that therefore ALL references to octopuses, snakes or puppeteers are ipso facto anti-Semitic, and suggesting that it is--that one cannot say someone behaved like a snake without it being anti-Semitic--is itself kinda bigoted. It is not automatically anti-Semitic to refer to someone as an octopus, or a snake, or a puppeteer. It is not automatically anti-Semitic to criticize a Jewish person, EVEN by saying that person is a snake, or an octopus, or a puppeteer, any more than it's raaaaacist to call a black man a clown, that attending an anti-war demonstration makes one a socialist, or supporting the stated goals of the Occupy movement makes one an anti-Semite.

Guilt by association, sweeping generalizations--whether about folks you don't agree with, or folks that you do--or pretending that highlighting one attribute shared by two (or more) otherwise different individuals or groups makes those two (or more) individuals or groups practically identical (Take for example, pacifist priests who protest against war because they believe God opposed man killing man vs anarchists who protest war because they believe no government has the right to send people to kill and die, vs those who protest a specific war because they believe the reasons given for that war go against our American values. One can treat them as though they're all the same, and denigrate them all as anti-American, or whatever... ...but the bullshit in that approach is obvious.) While propagandists will employ one, two, or even all three of these tactics to lash out at those with whom they disagree, they are all plainly and obviously nonsensical ploys that cannot withstand even the slightest scrutiny.

And all that aside, the only person equating neocons with Jews is that guy... My tweet and the article to which it referred specifically says neoconservatism is a political movement and NOT a substitute for the word "Jewish." If anyone is slandering the Jewish people by calling them neocons (or is it "slandering neocons by calling them Jewish"?), it isn't me...

And lest anyone forget, that guy is the one who created the "Sasquatch Israel" myth out of whole cloth, in yet another failed attempt to attack all liberals (or at least a whole lot of them) as anti-Semites. This is what desperate, despicable liars do...

First the guy Came For The Hominids, Now It's Anti-Semitic Cephalopods

Brain Rage: that blog And Anti-Semitic Hominids

If I'm not mistaken, the guy's last attack on me was August 6th... I was beginning to think he'd finally wised up... but of course not... He's that guy. He cannot resist lashing out with these lies. He's that guy. 'nuff said.

UPDATED: The guy finds a friend sycophant:



@WarEagle8055 never actually says why he calls me an "antisemite" --he didn't bother to respond when I pointed out a few of the flaws in his tweet, leaving me to surmise that rather than taking the time to think for himself, he just lapped up and regurgitated whatever the guy told him, thought unthunk...which kinda makes one feel sorry for the guy, given that guy's historical record with, well, facts...

An x-post from a blog that once was

Sunday, May 08, 2011

In reply: It isn't anti-Semitic to disagree with something the State of Israel once did or is doing now, any more than it's anti-American to disagree with past or present US government policy.

In reply to this off-topic comment by Donald Douglas (largely repeated in my reply) at the American Niiiiihilist post What're We Supposed To Call These Folks... bin Ladeners??
---

What's with you and using comment sections like a mailbox? Do the words "off-topic" really mean nothing to you?

"From the AmPow comments on the LGM thread..."

Well, if Grant says it...

LGM's commenters are the both the dumbest and most demented. Awful people.

Your opinion too, is noted.

And Repsac3, you idiot, when have I ever alleged you a Jew-basher?

Do I not comment at LGM? Am I not a progressive? When you generalize about folks in the course of making an accusation, you accuse all the folks you generalize about. (That's one of the things that makes generalizing such a stupid thing to do.)

A racist, yes, for your white-supremacist views reared during the Pale Scot affair. You yourself said you judge people first by the color of their skin. That's bigoted and racist.

I'm pretty sure I didn't, but I invite you to cite it, rather than just make this random claim...

"And everyone distanced themselves from those views at the time, except you. I don't care personally. It's not about me. It's your hypocrisy."

Saying it doesn't make it so, Donald... Put up or shut up.

"And this is the key point about progressives, which is precisely true:
"When you hold the State of Israel – a nation in a struggle for its survival from the beginning, a target for the misogynist, racist, anti-western, dictatorial regimes which surround it – to a standard you would hold no other nation under normal circumstances, let alone under such exigencies – and when you spew libel against our sole regional democratic ally for “crimes” concocted by delegitimizers, you are an anti-Semite."

Sorry Donald, but the quote doesn't sound any better (or more correct) the 3rd (or is it 4th?) time you repeat it.

Israel's a fine country, but it isn't perfect... It's not above any/all criticism. They're kinda like America, in that regard... Some very questionable things done in their past, and differing opinions about government policies, from within and without, even to this day. They, (like us, in America) are held to a higher standard than these misogynist, racist, anti-western, dictatorial regimes because they, like us are viewed on the world stage as actually having a higher, more enlightened set of values and ideals. People expect more of Israel and the US because we demand more of ourselves. I'm surprised that you and Wiesenfeld fail to understand that.

It isn't anti-Semitic to disagree with something the State of Israel once did or is doing now, any more than it's anti-American to disagree with past or present US government policy. And because of the history of the Jewish people and anti-Semitism, it's as ugly an accusation to make as it is a false one.

There is straight up anti-Semitism in the world, Donald, but these kinda specious accusations cheapen the term and will in time make it meaningless from overuse. When every disagreement with any Jewish person or policy of the State of Israel is being called anti-Semitic, the term loses it's actual meaning.

I urge you to at least consider it, Dr Douglas...

Also submitted for moderator approval rejected for publication, for reasons I leave for the reader to determine (though I know what I think), at Dr Douglas' American Power: Scott Lemieux Backs Anti-Semitic Tony Kushner at Lawyers, Guns and Money post on May 8, 2011 4:05 AM (AmPow blog time). Hopefully, Dr Douglas won't be too cowardly to allow it to appear there at the post where it actually belongs, but knowing Dr. Douglas as I do, I'm not holding my breath.
