Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

and authentically vitriolic racism & anti-semitism charges? Do you have examples where "Taibbi, Rosenberg, [and] Firedoglake"

  1. 'speculate about Rahm Emmanuel's role in manipulating the poor puppet [Obama].' [Don't forget that the examples require the characterization of Obama as a puppet.]

  2. 'make right wing talking points in "left" disguise.' [To show this you first have to demonstrate that various talking points are right-wing ones and then you have to show that all of the above charged employ one or more of them after disguising them.]

  3. are 'addicted to its vitriolic language in which every right wing cliche about the liberals/left is animated again.' [Here you need to define what 'vitriolic' means for you, you have to show something is a right-wing cliche, and then you have to show all of those three are employing one or more of them.]

  4. employ 'everything from shadowy Jewish puppetmasters and bankers to the traditional sexist-homophobic sexual jeering ("bending over") and [have] an absolute unwillingness to articulate a criticism that does not exhibit these signs.' [To show proof here you need to quote where all of the charged employ imagery of "shadowy Jewish puppet masters and bankers," (and don't forget the shadowy and puppetmaster parts). You also need to show that the above three sources never publish articles that don't employ either 'bending over' language or '"shadowy Jewish puppet masters and bankers' imagery.
