    A perfect shield for those who question Israel's right to exist, but claim that's just a "political position."

    Also, it would be interesting to see the perpetrators segmented by demographic group.

  2. The left always turns anti-Semitic.

  3. The ADL is separating those who differ on policy versus hate.
    Kinda like a person who does not like Mike Pence's political views versus thugs who scream "hang Mike Pence".

    Where does calling Pence a "Right-wing zealot" fall on your spectrum of excusing hate-speech?

  6. 10:32am- being a "right wing zealot", in and if itself, is hate speech.

    Conversely, being "left of the left" is lonely.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
