curiousity (4.00 / 2)

I read the quotes, and they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Perhaps I undersold my prior knowledge, but I think you are also misconstruing the intent of my comments. I was simply responding to the apparent implication in the Diary (which the diarist has since clarified) that Rahm's prominence in the "Anger Left" blogosphere was due to anti-Semitism rather than an objective analysis of the importance of his role. With the health care debate currently so centre stage, I do not find it surprising even if there may be some undercurrents of anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories or type casting in their somewhere.

If you feel Valerie's role deserves greater prominence and exposition, please write a diary about her and I will be happy to read it. I only wish more USians would display a similar sympathetic curiosity about Irish or other politics around the world.

Re: curiousity (none / 0)

You read the quotes.

But I asked you a simple question. Did you read the stories to which the pull-quotes are linked? There is detailed, factual information in the stories which obviate any need for my "exposition" of Ms Jarrett's biography, persona, or appointed rôle, director, Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, in a "diary".

I resurrected the ET search results in response to this statement.

The actually powerful figures who surround the President, such as Valerie Jarret, are ignored - not surprising that a black woman disappears from view.

I'll not read for you. I'll not package an opinion. That is your responsibility and judgement.

And don't group me with "USians". I click through all the links provided by innerboobz writers including yours.

I didn't make the comment you reference, and don't know if the authors contention - that there may be sexist/racist implications behind her omission is correct. I don't read the World Socialist Website. Perhaps you may wish to scold me for that as well?

I don't think this subthread is going in a productive direction.

as well as the parallel replies to this maybe it's best to argue another day.
