K-La La

How is it that dishonest creeps like Mark Krikorian get the keys to post here? It’s an important blog. If you don’t read it you’re missing out on an interesting window into what conservatives are thinking. But, posts like this one beg the question of standards over there in K-Lo land. First there’s the implicit twofer swipe at the Association for Civil-Rights in Israel and the ACLU. How is it that standing up for civil rights is a partisan issue of the left? We should ask Bob Barr about that.

Then, there’s moving from this ACRI quote: "Israel's moral and legal obligation to accept any refugees or asylum seekers facing life-threatening danger or infringements on their freedom" to “So, apparently anyone, anywhere who doesn’t enjoy complete political freedom and manages to sneak into Israel should be allowed to stay.” Ignoring the phrase “life-threatening” as an intensifier in that compound leaves a pretty unbalanced pair: life-threatening danger on the one hand, not lesser danger, but “life-threatening” danger, and amorphously defined infringements on the other. He ignores the obvious intent just to get the cheap applause line: “So, apparently anyone, anywhere who doesn’t enjoy complete political freedom and manages to sneak into Israel should be allowed to stay.”

Where do they find these people?
