We Are All Bibi Netanyahu Now

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 27, 2010 27 Comments

The reaction to Obama's treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ("Bibi") Netanyahu was as strong if not stronger than I have seen in the comments here and elsewhere in the blogosphere on any other issue. (I didn't let through a number of over-the-top comments.)Why this...

In late October 2008, shortly before the election, I wrote an article for American Thinker titled It's 3 a.m. and the Prime Minister of Israel is Calling.The title of my article was a play on Hillary Clinton's 3 a.m. campaign ad, which suggested that Obama...

Most Frivolous Pro-Mandate Argument Of The Day

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 25, 2010 15 Comments

Marc Ambinder and Steve Benen have it all figured out. The lawsuits challenging the health care mandate obviously are frivolous because the Complaints filed do not contain any case authority supporting the claims.Gotcha! Those dumb Republican lawyers obviously don't know what they're doing! They have...

NY Times Finds Something “Buried” So “Deep” I Posted About It Months Ago

I understand, way too long a post title, but I needed to get the point across quickly, so that it was not "buried" from NY Times scrutiny. Here is what The Times wrote yesterday (emphasis mine): Buried deep in the health care legislation that President...

I told you this was coming. Increasingly, those who think Israel is to blame for the lack of peace in the Middle East, and who view pushing Israel back to barely defensible borders as the answer, have been pushing hard the meme that Israel is...
