Godwin watch, part 2

Part 1 here.

Michael Savage should shut the fuck up, eat shit, and then gorge himself on his son's crappy Red Bull rip-off.

SAVAGE: This is the leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah -- a good friend of the liberal left wing, the Michael Moore wing, the Barbara Boxer wing, the Ted Kennedy wing, the anti-American wing of the Democrat Party would be in great accord with Hassan Nasrallah of the Hezbollah, who is saying things fundamentally that the left says in America, only in a naked way.

[...]

SAVAGE: We have our own terrorists here in America: the U.S. Senate. The U.S. Senate just denied funding for a new border fence with Mexico. Now, if you tell me this is not like a country being taken over by a group of foreign terrorists, I'd like to know what is. These senators have done more damage to America than terrorists could ever do.

[...]

SAVAGE: Now, I realize that the American left is cheering today. They'll probably break open the jug wine and cheer that Jews are dying, and that they're living and cowering in bomb shelters. One day, the "Deutschland über alles" may be played in Jerusalem, and the American left can tear off their masks once and for all and show themselves to be what they really are -- which is the Nazis of our time.

Never mind the obvious bullshit of saying Ted Kennedy or Barbara Boxer are Nazis, how about the fact that many American Jews happen to be members of the left? I suppose that's discountable, too, after all, they must be "self-hating" Jews, right?

Just for the record, here's a short list of some American left-wing Jews from the past century who arguably accomplished some good for their societies:

- Samuel Gompers, labor leader.
- Henry Morgenthau Jr., Treasury Secretary under FDR.
- Martin Buber, Jewish folklorist, scholar, philosopher
- Judah Magnes, American-Jewish leader, Rabbi, peace activist
- Abraham Joshua Heschel, American-Jewish leader, Rabbi, civil rights activist
- Franz Boas
- Emile Durkheim
- Albert Einstein
- Louis Brandeis
- Alan Dershowitz

The next time Savage wants to accuse "leftists" of being acquiescent to the death of Jews or throw out Nazi comparisons, he might do well to remember some of these guys:

- David Ben-Gurion
- Chaim Weizmann
- Dov Hoz, co-founder of the Haganah
- Yitzhak Sadeh, founder of the Palmach, Chief of Staff during Israeli War of Independence

And of course, a large portion of members of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, including:
- Abba Kovner (Vilna)
- Chaika Grossman (Bialystok),
- Warsaw- Yitzhak Zuckerman, Marek Edelman, Emmanuel Ringelblum, and oh yeah...
- Mordechai Anilewicz. A left-winger, a Zionist, a fighter, and a guy who did- and whose memory will continue to do- a hell of a lot more for the Jewish people than Savage ever will.

In conclusion, Mr. Weiner- go to hell.
