You know that you’ve fallen far as a columnist when you can be safely put in the same category as Dennis Kucinich.
Oh and the information from Sullivan’s link comes from interviews with Al Qaeda terrorists who would cut his throat for being Gay as soon as look at him. Sullivan’s link doesn’t make that clear but NPR does.
There is a point where someone has gone so far over the edge that you just have to ignore them. I’m very sorry to say that Andrew has reached that place.
The New York Times has a story today concerning the man made famine in Ukraine in the 30’s:
A quarter century ago, a Ukrainian historian named Stanislav Kulchytsky was told by his Soviet overlords to concoct an insidious cover-up. His orders: to depict the famine that killed millions of Ukrainians in the early 1930s as unavoidable, like a natural disaster. Absolve the Communist Party of blame. Uphold the legacy of Stalin.
Professor Kulchytsky, though, would not go along.
The other day, as he stood before a new memorial to the victims of the famine, he recalled his decision as one turning point in a movement lasting decades to unearth the truth about that period. And the memorial itself, shaped like a towering candle with a golden eternal flame, seemed to him in some sense a culmination of this effort.
This story is notable not for what it says but for what it leaves out.
How the times can do a story about the famine and not mention Walter Duranty is beyond me. Actually it’s not. It is just once more reason why the mainstream media is not to be taken at their word.
It is ignorance as much as fear that keeps people down. The Times should be ashamed of itself but I think it has lost the capacity for it.

BTW if you never heard about the celebrations among the Palestinians on 9-11 here they are:
People like to pretend this didn’t happen. I say like hell. They don’t deserve a single dollar of US money.
There is a word for people who do this: Enemies.
It’s not only rockets being used against Israel:
Arab terrorists killed two Israeli traffic policemen Sunday evening near Moshav Massua in an apparent drive-by shooting in the Jordan Valley between Beit She’an and Jericho. The victims’ squad car overturned after the terrorists shot them in head. Medical officials say one victim died as a result of injuries suffered by the car overturning.
Different terrorist groups took responsibility for the attack, the first in the Jordan Valley since January. Fatah-Tanzim terrorists initially were quoted as saying they carried out the murders, (emphasis mine), but an unknown group called the Imad Mughniyeh Squad later said it was behind the attack. The cell is named after the Hizbullah terrorist mastermind who was assassinated a year ago in Damascus. The unknown group said the attack was “in response to the crimes of occupation against the Palestinian people.”
Israellycool points out the irony out.
Yeah, that’s the moderate Fatah party of Mahmoud Abbas, peace partners par excellence.
Funny how the initial reports said Fatah alone, I think this is the 9/11 thing where initial celebrations among the Palestinians were replaced by photos of Arafat donating (AIDS infected) blood. It might be a problem getting the big money from the US if they are shooting cops, who do they think they are? Bill Ayers or Mumia?
Then again maybe they shouldn’t have worried with this administration.
