“I Would Take Stronger Medication”

James Kirchick - 02.02.2008 - 12:11 PM

If you ever find yourself confronting 9-11 Truthers, it’s best to emulate David Frum. One should also be immediately wary of people from groups with titles like “Jewish Voices of Conscience for Truth, Justice and Peace.”

    David Frum responds to these people with tremendous dignity and character. Even watching this, I was itching to grab that video camera and brain all of them with it.

    “Jewish Voices of Conscience for Truth, Justice and Peace.”

    Any group with this sort of name is almost certainly is comprised of self-hating Jews. Karl Marx is their role model. They will describe themselves as Jewish only when it can aid them in the struggle against the allegedly evil imperialists in the United States—and Israel.

    Last July while in San Francisco (a city where I travel routinely for work) I encountered for the first time a small band of “Truthers.”

    As the thin, effete, young man handed me a flier purportedly revealing the “Truth” about 9-11 (here’s a clue: the Jews did it) I demurred with a thoughtful “F*U.”

    The young man not satisfied with my answer, began a litany of reasons why I should have chosen otherwise.

    “That’s not mature.”

    “F*U!”

    “You don’t know me man!”

    “F*U!”

    “That’s no way to debate.”

    F*U!”

    To each of his responses, I managed to stay on-message and found myself using increased force and volume to employ my simple rejoinder.

    As his comrades began to join in, I remained steadfast.

    “F*U!”

    What surprised me most was when my beautiful beloved literally pulled me away from them, having not noticed that there was a large crowd around us and how obviously enraged I had become and how close I was to inflicting physical harm on their “leader.”

    Apparently the “Truthers” struck a nerve.

    !

    My advice, stay away from these people.

    They might get hurt.

    Just sayin’.

    “…Jewish Voices of Conscience for Truth, Justice and Peace” What, nothing about their humility?

    I bet there are maybe five people in that Jewish group. I like how the guy in the white shirt is trying to restrain himself from rolling his eyes.

    Silent Jews for Lies, War and Oppression?

    I know people who would sign on.

    G.

    No, GOM has been down on the Jews for a long while.

    You know, especially all that “oppression” they’re throwin’ down on those poor, pitiful, helpless, blameless, defenseless, Palestinians.

    And as far as the Lies, don’t get him started!

    What would a war be without those pesky Jews?

    Man, oh man.

    If we could just find a way to get rid of them?

    ?

    Maybe good ‘ol GOM will give some ideas as to how.

    Pesky is to be accused of desiring genocide because I express anti-interventionist views or question the closeness of the US alliance with Israel. Or of being a 9/11 conspiracy buff for making a perhaps silly joke.

    Some people on this blog, like Gordon Chang, will debate the issues. Others prefer to wave the bloody shirt of antisemitism at the drop of a hat.

    OK. I rose to the bait. Coffee break’s over. Back on your heads.
