Scarborough Country

(2)

MSNBC is another favorite with me, and I even watch FOX at least once a day, in spite of the fact that it is Cheney's favorite channel. So I was a bit surprised to see the subtitle, 'Hate at Harvard' during the Scarborough Country show a day or two ago. Seems some folks at Harvard had published a paper critical of Jews, a truly horrible sin. What were they thinking?!

As I watched the fireworks, I was treated to, in order, Allen Dershowitz and David Duke discussing the offending publication against Jews. Wow! What a show! And I must admit that I became somewhat emotionally involved as I watched Dershowitz villify the authors of the paper in question as anti-Semites. This was right up my alley, so to say.

I later discovered the paper in question on the web and read it in its entirety. It was quite long and even at that had been somewhat condensed from the origional. As I read the article I found myself agreeing with most of what was written and furthermore could find nothing overtly 'anti-Semitic.' So why was Dershowitz frothing at the mouth? Why was David Duke so obviously pleased? Why was Scarborough in Dershowitz's corner?
