I've Got a Little List
SONG--KO-KO with CHORUS OF MEN.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!

You mean that a majority of these folks are Jewish? I have no problem stating the obvious. So's Charles Krauthammer and the entire editorial staff at Commentary magazine. Viewpoints are far more important to me than ethnic/religious identification.
It's no secret that American Jews tend to be liberal. Democratic candidates, especially in big cities, have counted on that for generations. It's also no secret that journalism is an occupation that has attracted Jews for many years. Ergo, the typical Jewish journalist is likely to reside on the left side of the political spectrum. The Journolist is just a manifestation of that convergence, not some overarching conspiracy.
Posted by: waltj at July 25, 2010 3:49 AMWhy am I not surprised to find a writer for the Baltimore Daily Worker, er, Sun, on this list?
As for many of the people on this list being Jewish, it shouldn't be surprising. They're there for the same reason that so many Jews were (and are) Communists, or at least leftists: As I understand it, Judaism teaches that man has an obligation to "repair the world", to do what little mere mortals can do to fix the damage man has done to God's creation, beginning with Adam and Eve's mistake in the Garden of Eden. As leftist economic solutions, in particular, seem to these people to be more nearly in line with God's Plan-- as opposed to the "rapacity" of "capitalist" practices-- it's no wonder so many Jews are attracted to left-of-center politics.
What I don't understand is how these people don't perceive the threat to their freedoms, even their very lives, of their leftist policy preferences and associations.

Yes - when Gerard first posted the photo mosaic of these journalists, I thought - it could be a club for anti-Semites and self-hating Jews... which, it is! As Prager says, the Jews are the messenger who forgot his message. Instead of proclaiming ethical monotheism to the world, most "enlightened" Jews think the message is Marxism (wasn't Marx also a Jew?). Leftism is the religion represented by the Journolist.
I hope it is clear I am not anti-Jew. I am anti-Left! Of course, that makes me a raaaaaacist! Oh, and a hater - unlike those on Journolist. Pheh.
Posted by: Western Chauvinist at July 25, 2010 7:16 AMI wonder what the lawyers for these media operations are thinking right now? Perhaps thinking they need to investigate whether any employees colluded with others to falsely smear someone in print? Fearing that maybe the NYT/Sullivan standard has been met?
Posted by: Mikey NTH at July 25, 2010 8:14 AMIf you have a Mac - or are at an Apple store - open a new Apple Mail message type “Obama”. No spell correction squiggle. Now type “Palin”. Why am I not surpised "Palin" is not in the Apple dictionary, but Chairman Zero is?
Posted by: Mart at July 25, 2010 8:27 AMThe usual Jewish conspiracy fantasising nut jobs will always be with us. That's a given and really neither here nor there.
But a world where it isn't exactly career-enhancing to jump up and say 'Hey, why are ~70% of Jews and closer to 90% of same making noise in the public sphere so predictably left wing?' does a disservice to Jews and in fact all of us by not permitting the cleansing enema of good old fashioned dialectic work its prophylactic magic.
What gets me is that the members of this list would have been amongst the first to jump up and down about an imagined Zionist Neocon conspiracy Re Iraq, etc. several years back. You can be sure they're not going to like having the reverse dished out to them - if, in fact, anyone actually dares try it.
As for Jews being predominantly left wing. I think that's perfectly understandable given that there must be plenty of ancestral memories along the lines of 'The Cossacks are Coming' - so one can make some allowance for (say) the Old Bolsheviks who had more reason than most to believe in the Brotherhood of Man, and of course the survivors of Nazism.
But at what point in this current slow mo clusterfuck do we dispense with Central Casting and start to get a bit reality based? The Big O is selling Israel down the river and the Iranians have something slouching toward Tel Aviv. I mean ferchrisakes... well maybe not... but you get the picture.
Too much Thanatos going around. That goes for the one-refrigerator folks too.
But one thing all right thinking people can agree on:
Ceterum censeo Tom Friedman esse delendam.
Useful idiots!!!
Immediately after an Ayers, Soros power grab all these fools would be killed first, before even Beck, Limbaugh & Hannity. Obama, Michelle etal would follow the Czar's fate.
My questions is, though, what's the correlation between this list and NAMBLA's membership list??
.75? .8? Maybe .95??????
And I thought Oliver Stone was a nutjob....but now...?
