Dear Wingnut Propagandists,
This means you, editorial frauds on the WaPo and Wall Street Journal. This means you, Fox News, and Clear Channel's 600 talk radio of lying spewers. This means you, Richard Scaife, Rupert Murdoch. This means you, Sinclair Media Group.
You've lost every rationale for this war you've pumped out through your propaganda media channels. You've been wrong about everything you shoved down the throat of the American people via your radio stations, newspapers and cable news bobbleheads.
Now you're trying to make this about Israel? Now you want to tell us that if we don't support your failed foreign policy fiascos, your failed war, your delusions of pseudo-intellectual think tank blather that has sent us spiraling into deficits and gotten thousands of people killed, we don't support Israel?
This Jew wants you to kiss my ass.
Don't you fucking dare try to tell me that this is about Israel.
I love Israel.
I love being Jewish. My identity and my understanding of Jewishness since my Bar Mitzvah training twenty years ago has centered around study. Around a four thousand year old rabbinical tradition that believes in facts, honesty, self criticism, reaching out to your neighbor to make peace, and most importantly, admitting mistake.
But you well funded suburban living "conservatives" don't have the first fucking clue about critical thought, about studying, about debating the Torah and the Talmud and engaging in serious self reflection using the education of those smarter than you as your guide. This is what Judaism understands and what you have no fucking clue about.
You took the fears of 9/11 and you exploited them. You lied to the American people about Saddam Hussein and 9/11. You lied to us about how "quick" the war would be, about how little it would cost us, about this fictional "coalition of the willing" that was nothing more than financially forcing our allies to pretend to go along with your agenda.
You lied to us about weapons that could fire and kill a million people in London. You forced Colin Powell to sacrifice his integrity so you could get your war on. You lied to us that we should cut taxes during war and it wouldn't send us spiraling into deficits.
You are, in short, uncritically thinking liars.
You've abused the 1996 Telecommunications Act to fund a propaganda machine in Fox News. You publish utter bullshit on a daily basis in the editorial pages of our former leading newspapers like the Washington Post, L.A. Times and Wall Street Journal.
You celebrate the ugliest and most hate filled spewers of your rank fever swamp of xenophobia and rage based trigger-emotion politics until they're sitting on the fucking couch of the Tonight Show. Fringe lunatics like Coulter, Malkin, Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage, Limbaugh and the rest.
You treat utterly discredited liars as "pundit kings" we should somehow still be "listening to" about Iraq after five years of the creditability shredding idiocy.
But that doesn't matter to you.
My rabbi would've thrown you out of Bar Mitzvah class when you were 12 fucking years old. Not for being ignorant fools. There is no crime in being ignorant. The crime is in the fact you don't care to look for the truth.
You prefer to "think" of the way you want the world to be. Rather than seek out to understand how the world is.
This is your flaw.
This is why your political party is filled with corrupt charlatans dressing up in the "Jesus Cloak" and pretending to be pious while ripping off the American tax-payer for billions of dollars.
Because when you stop seeking knowledge from your elders, you stop searching for God.
This is what Judaism understands and you have no fucking clue about.
This is why you fail. Because you don't consult scientists when you form your opinions on climate change. You don't consult foreign policy experts on what to do about Iraq. You don't consult disaster relief experts when preparing FEMA for a Katrina disaster.
You are the party of ignorance. The party of intolerance. The party of loud, shouting, hate filled racists who pollute our media, our airwaves and our newspapers with such ferocity and venom that weak minds like Katie Couric and Matt Lauer end up parroting the hate on mainstream American talk shows.
That is your one trick. You can shout really loud.
Congratulations. Idiot.
Now you sit there and you write editorials telling us that if we don't support your fiascoes we don't support Israel.
Listen to me, you discredited hacks, you monkeys in a fancy suit.
Shut the fuck up.
I love Israel. I love Judaism. I support Israel 100%. I supported Israel when Clinton supported Israel and I'll support Israel when your disaster of an American president has been relegated to the same historical depth of that other fraud your party produced, Richard Milhous Nixon.
I hope Israel makes peace with Palestine. I believe in the right of the Palestinian people to have their own country. I weep for the failure of Palestine to take advantage of the opportunities they had in 1999, back when we had a president who cared about Israel enough to try to broker a lasting peace.
Now your propagandists who live all over American media want to tell us that if we don't support your failed policies in Iraq, it's because we don't support Israel?
Newsflash genius: This war has made America, and Israel, far less safe. It has enflamed hatred around the world for western style democracy and power. It pours gasoline on attempts to create a multicultural world peace because it tells the next generation of Muslims that we'll bomb the shit out of millions of them because of 19 terrorists.
And last time I checked, collectively blaming millions of people for the actions of a few hundred terrorist extremists living in the desert and operating independently of any nation has the logical consistency of a melted twix bar.
So the next time you propaganda wingnuts are looking for yet another distraction story to cover up just how fucking insane you people are, do me a favor and leave my religion and Israel out of the equation, mmm'kay? By now the record clearly proves YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
It's only because we have an unaccountable and broken media that allows you extremists to even still have a voice in the national discourse. If there was even remote accountability, your nonsense would be collecting dust next to Lyndon LaRouche rants.
So if you want to really support Israel? Pick up the Torah and try reading it. Talk to a Rabbi who will set your sorry ass straight on how Judaism understands things like "consulting experts" on an issue you don't understand and connecting to God through the deeds and actions you take in this world, instead of simply telling everyone how "religious" you are.
Talk to your Priest, if you're not Jewish. Talk to your Minister. If they're worth anything, they will teach you that a healthy religion does not excuse ignorance. A healthy religion does not excuse facts and reality from entering your consciousness.
You can't "wish" this war to turn out well. "Rooting for the war" doesn't change one car bomb in Baghdad from exploding. You people aren't wizards. Our collective "good wishes" won't get us out of this fiasco you started. Facts will. Critical thinking will. Taking action will.
THIS is what Judaism understands. Tikkun Olam teaches us to heal the world through everyday DEED, not through sitting in a suit and writing another bullshit editorial about how we all need to "wish" this war would go better and how liberals are "defeatist" because they won't participate in your grand thought experiment to use collective "feeling" to "wish" the war into a good thing.
No. Sorry, asshole. Wishing it won't make it better. The real world has a powerful way of intruding on human delusion. And if you want to know the real lesson God is trying to teach you? That's it.
