“Nick - you are white and I’ve seen you write about white people ALL the time. That is *SO* blatantly a conflict of interest.”

Seriously.

Shape up, kids.

You’re crazy. Complaining is fine, just like it’s fine to complain about Jews.

No, it’s not “fine to complain about Jews.” If editorial opposition to anti-Semitism is insufficiently “objective” for you, I’m afraid you’re going to find it quite a subjective world.

You’re crazy. Complaining is fine, just like it’s fine to complain about Jews. But writing an “objective” newsarticle for millions of people to read when the bias is in the byline? That’s not kosher.

Great job, Nick. Its always great when you have to prove that the name “Cohen” is an authentic Jewish last name.

You think Jews (or “presumed Jews”) complaining about anti-Semitism is a conflict of interest? Are you out of your mind?

I’d hate to know what Nick thinks about the legitimacy of resumes.

Having a presumed Jew write an article about anti-Semitism is like the Emerald having Nick Wilbur write and article about the Senate trying to fire him.

I find it ironic that Sandy Cohen, whose last name is Jewish, quotes Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, in saying that Gibson’s apology was “unremorseful and insufficient.”

“It’s not a proper apology because it does not go to the essence of his bigotry and his anti-Semitism. We would hope that Hollywood now would realize the bigot in their midst and that they will distance themselves from this anti-Semite.”

The director of the Anti-Defemation League is calling someone a bigot…

Last I checked, though, it’s only in Germany and Australia that one can’t be anti-Semitic. Freedom of speech allows for this sort of thing, as long as it’s not threatening and doesn’t incite violence. Am I wrong?

A note on the name Cohen:
“…descended from the Kohanim (plural of Kohen), the caste of Jewish priests who conducted the rituals of the Temple in Jerusalem before it was destroyed in the year 70 of the common era.”
And: “Cohen
Jewish: from Hebrew kohen ‘priest’. Priests are traditionally regarded as members of a hereditary caste descended from Aaron, brother of Moses.”

Having a presumed Jew write an article about anti-Semitism is like the Emerald having Nick Wilbur write and article about the Senate trying to fire him.

Might be a while, I’m afraid. My exercise regimen is picking up - I’ve apparently already had a bowling alley shipped to my private island.

Okay, but when are you going to gain, like, 8,000 pounds?

I’m way ahead of you on that one, Graf, you fucking crypto-Zionist.

It’s only a matter of time before I join the 9/11 Truth movement. After all, you can’t prove it wasn’t a conspiracy organized by Paul Wolfowitz!
