New York Times columnist writes anti-Semitic column, Obama endorses it
The New York Times' Maureen Dowd wrote a column this week that has been deservedly described as anti-Semitic, and the Obama campaign promptly endorsed it. Caroline Glick explains.
The Obama administration's abetment of bigoted nativism to silence criticism of its substantively indefensible foreign policy was on prominent display last Sunday. Obama's campaign endorsed an anti-Semitic screed published by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.In her column, titled, "Neocons slither back," Dowd wrote that Republican Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are mere puppets controlled by "neocon puppet master, Dan Senor."Neocon is a popular code for Jewish. It was so identified by Dowd's Times' colleague David Brooks several years ago.Dowd said that "the neocons captured" Bush after the September 11 attacks and "Now, amid contagious Arab rage sparked on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, they have captured another would-be Republican president and vice president, both jejeune about the world."One telling aspect of Dowd's assault on Senor as a neoconservative is that he and his boss in the Bush administration, Paul Bremer, were the nemeses of the neoconservatives at the Pentagon. The only thing Senor has in common with the likes of Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith is that all three men are Jews.Moreover, Dowd drew a distinction between supposed "neocons" like Senor, and non-Jewish US leaders Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney who merely "abetted" the neocons.So Senor doesn't share the same ideological worldview as Feith and Wolfowitz but he's a neocon. And Cheney and Rumseld do share the same worldview as Feith and Wolfowitz. And they are not neocons.The Times' public editor Andrew Rosenthal dismissed claims that Dowd's column was anti- Semitic, arguing it couldn't be since she never said a word about Jews.The Obama campaign linked to Dowd's column on its Twitter account with the message, "Why Romney and Ryan's foreign policy sounds 'ominously familiar.'" Obama's campaign's willingness to direct the public to anti-Semitic screeds against his political opponents is consistent with the administration's general strategy for defending policies. That strategy involves responding to criticism not with substantive defense of his policies, but with ad hominem attacks against his critics.

When Moishe lead the Jews out of Egypt, most were too cowardly to go and so they stayed as slaves in Egypt. Obama has a firm grip on those Jews who will literally complain that there are no voting booths in the gas chambers Obama sends them to.
This is such a divisive diversion smokescreen covering up what should be discussed. For example, given Dan Senor's positioning for the next administration, is he for or against shutting down U.S. electricity generation (11% of coal generators, 36,000 MW of electric power slated for shutdown by the EPA in 2012) this year before affordable alternatives are ready to replace the quantity at matching prices?

Is he for or against the innovative enterprises being bribed by the Green $lushfunders? Right now, the next round of Green $lush is being divvied up. Will Dan Senor call for the Green $lush to be REJECTED by everybody (U.S. or Israel) who values Western Civilization... This is a religion-free discussion. Many tech people want to think they are separate issues, the shutdowns and the Green Slushfund. But they are NOT.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2012
ELECTRICITY RATES WILL NECESSARILY SKYROCKET.
Look, folks, I am in this field. I have been for more than 30 years. Losing 36,000 MWs of the most cost-efficient generation capacity in the US is a disaster. You have no idea how bad the increases are going to be. They will be disastrous to the individual energy consumers and apocalyptic to large users – those who create jobs.
I shudder to think of what this is going to do to grid reliability as well. A lot of those coal plants help support the grid during disruptions. They regularly provide both energy and MVARs (Mega Volt-Ampere Reactive) that keep the grid from collapsing when large loads are added or lost. (That’s about as simple as I can make it and still be understood.) Losing these stabilizers will make it very hard to hold the grid. I pity the load dispatchers.
Maybe I should buy that generator.
