Alleged reporting
Posted by Ron Coleman on August 19, 2007
Glenn points to LGF, which links to a Daily Mail story regarding the West’s oldest
anti-semitic outlet still in operation, the BBC, to wit. “The BBC is in trouble today for once again allowing ugly antisemitic and anti-Christian slurs to remain posted at the BBC 5 message boards, while instantly deleting any criticism of Islam,” writes LGF. But here’s an odd excerpt from the Daily Mail piece:
The BBC has also been criticised for allowing allegedly anti-Semitic posts from a contributor called “Iron Naz’.
In a message left on the site for more than a month, Iron Naz says: “Zionism is a racist ideology where jews are given supremacy over all other races and faiths. This is found in the Talmud…which allows jews to lie as long as its to non-jews.”
The remarks brought complaints from the Board of Deputies, the organisation that represents Britain’s Jews and its Community Security Trust. They say the post draws on a discredited 19th Century text, the Talmud Unmasked, which is still distributed by neo-Nazi booksellers.
However, the BBC said the remarks did not merit removal.
Nice catch, but — “allegedly anti-Semitic”? What’s with the allegedly?
There will always be the English, I suppose.

I can almost see the reasoning.
Jews and Christians have shown they can handle the criticism. Especially when it comes from idiots.
But many Muslims reflexively get into a tizzy and start blowing themselves up.

Yes, so let’s reward that.
jaymaster said
Well, yeah….I don’t have an answer for that.
Maybe they’ll grow a set?
Nah. They’ll probably just keep relying on others to fight back, all the while criticizing the good guys, and blame them for creating the problem in the first place.
At least their market share is shrinking. Maybe there is hope.

“Yes, so let’s reward that.”
Blowing yourself up is its’ own reward.
“There will always be the English, I suppose.”
People used to say that about the French. And look where it got them.
Ron Coleman said
I have no problem with them blowing themselves up, Jack, per se. It’s the rest of us they blow up that gets me down.

It’s not very well mannered, I’ll give ya that much.
