Time Immortal

September 11th, since 2001, has always seemed to bring out the raging anti-Semite lurking none too far beneath the skin of many on the Left.

To briefly give example to this observation: blogger Canadian Cynic noted his belief that Stephen Harper has been ‘bought’ by the Jews, and just for good measure threw in a snide reference to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Cyinc’s exact comment on Harper, by the way, began by noting that, “Jewly speaking,” (wtf?), Harper had been an excellent investment (screenshot at that link, by the way).

It gets better, with commentators adding their own $0.02 with such pearls of wisdom as:

Who knew it was such a doddle to get ’s highest honour?

“I luz Isreeal!” Now give my my award and make it snappy.

And:

Can we just round these people up and put them in camps where they can’t do any more damage?

And sure enough, there’s no resisting the lure of a Godwin violation:

Josef Goebbels Stephen Taylor must be so proud

Even Dr. Dawg, another lefty blogger and supposed champion of human rights, thinks this is the cat’s meow:

Rock on, CC, and damn the torpedoes.

It’s really quite incredible. Scratch a leftist, find something truly ugly lurking beneath the surface. All that prattle about human rights and equality is, evidently, just so much pretense.

Update: Welcome, Steynians!

Strangely, morons like Haroon Siddiqui have jobs, while people like Kathy Shaidle — not only a far better orator in general, but also with something more important to say — are out of work. This is especially unfair in light of Siddiqui’s most recent offering of drivel.

The difference between what the Nazis said about the Jews and what people today are saying about radical Muslims is…

What we’re saying about radical Muslims is true.

To pretend otherwise is to perform the intellectual equivalent of hiding Nazis in your attic during World War II.

Whereas The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a proven hoax (something millions of your fellow Muslims seem too stupid to figure out or too stubborn to admit), the many declarations of radical Muslims of their intent to take over the world are all too true — they uttered those words themselves; have been doing so before your favourite punching bag, George Bush, was even born; and have been captured doing so on video.

Please present me with similar statements by Jews — let alone Baha’i (that’s the correct spelling btw).

You can’t, can you?

(And an aside to Mr. Farber, assuming he really said what you claim he did — should the unlikely day dawn when Baha’i fly stolen planes into buildings and incinerate 3000 people alive, or mutilate the genitals of millions of women, or slice up their little boys as part of “religious festivals”, or take over a school and rape pre-pubescent girls in front of their classmates, then shoot them in the back as they try to run away, then plenty of us will be more than willing to hate them for it, and we won’t be silenced either, especially not by an out of touch, would-be bully like Mr. Farber.)

Millions of us want to know: why do so many Muslims do things like that, Mr. Siddiqui?

And why don’t more of your fellow Muslims condemn them, loudly, publicly and without the usual “buts” about Israel’s or America’s mostly imaginary equivalence? Now that would be a column worth writing.

Read the whole thing.
