Jonah, re that Media Matters “Senior Foreign Policy Fellow” fellow and his grand unified theory as to why anti-Semitic racist Islamophobe conservatives dig Israel – because “the Israeli army kills Muslims.”
Actually, the Israeli army really sucks at killing Muslims compared to, say, the Assad regime in Syria, or Saddam Hussein, or even King Hussein in his bloodier Palestinian crackdowns. The Janjaweed are totally awesome at killing Muslims, and they kill black Muslims, which ought to be a twofer for us racist Islamophobes. The Taliban executed gay Muslims, which really appeals to my Islamohomophobia. And let’s not forget honor killings, because if there’s one thing we sexist racist anti-Semitic homophobe Islamophobes really like to see it’s a lippy broad getting her comeuppance, even if she’s only twelve. And that’s before you take into account the, ah, collateral damage of child-marriage: What kind of sophisticated analysis of conservatism forgets to factor in our misogyny? Even Frank Rich understands we oppose health care not just because of a black president and a gay committee chairman but a female speaker.
By the way, I understood Media Matters to be a George Soros-funded website. Is it normal for websites to have “senior fellows”? The Media Matters guy who used to to transcribe my “lame jokes” from The Rush Limbaugh Show is now apparently a Senior Fellow. Can we have some? Which NRO Professor Emeritus of Racism and Homophobia do I have to kiss up to to get a little tenured credentialization around here?
