Notice I never once endorsed Omar herself. I saw what she said. It’s all about the Benjamins. It is. Tons of foreign actors try to influence Congress through money and lobbyists, and it’s anti-Semitic when it’s pointed out Israel does it to?

Is it anti-Arab when it’s the Saudis or anti-ottoman or whatever the frick they are when it’s the Turks?

The pro-Israel crowd proves our point when they construe any criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. It's no different than the left claiming racism at the drop of a hat.


You still have the problem of ilhan omar being your messenger here.

She's a legit anti-Semitic racist.

Don't fall for it people.

The democrats could care less about what she says, they are only worried some of their voters don't like it

Yeah, I guess so. I’m curious what rule it broke to be whacked.

This. It's only a token letter.

Even the admins here seem to be affected by it. When you can silence any criticism by labeling it anti-Semitic then you’re immune to criticism on any grounds.

What other topic do we place off limits like that?

The GoldenNugget rule?


Just because he went to extremes doesn't mean he was wrong about everything.

I don't care who the messenger is if the statement is objectively true. The messenger smear is the same kind of garbage used by the left to denigrate Assange and Snowden, even though the subject matter of their leaks is unassailable. Rep. Omar is a vile woman who I have serious disagreements with on a host of issues, but her commentary on the disproportionate influence of Israel in American politics is absolutely true. Criticizing Israel is a Top 3 political sin, regardless of the political party to which you belong.

I remember that anti-Semite.
I have a cousin who I had to ban from Facebook because he posts stuff like he's Golden Nugget's twin!
Everything to him is a Jewish conspiracy

Extremism must be used with great caution.

GN went too far.

Banning legitimate criticism of Israel encourages the crazies because it is completely illogical to label everything anti-Semitic and it does suggest an ulterior motive in doing so.

You flush out the legitimacy of topics by being able to criticize and discuss them in the free marketplace of ideas. If you stifle one side of the conversation then you’re going to raise eyebrows as to why the other side is not able to be presented.

I have nothing against this. But I'm also not an administrator.
