LGF picks up on the move among “Kossacks” from wild eyed folk Marxism to full fledged National Socialism. Two Kos Diaries feature ideas that only the most disingenuous commentator would describe as anything but treading the very dangerous ground of Nazi era anti-Semitism, including accusations that Jews conspire to receive special treatment, that groups like the A.D.L. and AIPAC secretly “mounted campaigns to suppress and harass Arab and Muslim Americans” and that Senator Clinton’s “unwavering support of the principles of the Likkud party” make her more suitable to be an Israeli citizen then an American.
The first essay, written by LondonYank, contains the general accusations against Jews that seem more in line with David Duke’s brand of “patriotism” then the open minded liberalism espoused by the left. Perusing some of his other titles it is clear that LondonYank is a typical Internet leftist in his views on America, the “evils” of Israel and the need to defend Islam and Islamic countries above all else. In this light we see that his anti-Semitic rambling are not so much the result of internal bigotry as the desire to be on the right (left) side of the issue. LondonYank is attempting to shield the groups he feels are oppressed (Radical Muslims, anti-Zionists and Communists) from the backlash of their own often hateful rhetoric. He is in essence doing what he thinks is right, even though the results of his largess are the same as if he republished the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
The Dairy dealing with Senator Clinton is authored by James Risser, who’s vile collection of political screeds would do the most black hearted Neo-Nazi proud. Risser’s venom is not solely spewed on the popular DailyKos however, as it seems he’s made it his personal mission to spread his obsessive hate for Jews, Republicans and the right in general to the four corners of the Internet. His anti-Semitism is no doubt real, though it is based mostly on a conscious decision to see all Muslims as oppressed, and all Jews and Americans as oppressors, rather then having an actual ax of his own to grind. This does nothing to tame the flames of his hatred, however, which is palpable. I pictures Risser, while reading his essays, hunched angrily over a computer, with a Palestinian flag draped over a table next to him where his Arabic language edition of Mien Kampf (a gift from a man he met at an “end the occupation” protest) has a place of honor on his anti-oppression alter.
These two diaries are unfortunately not anomalies. The left, embracing Radical Islam as an ally against the right, is adopting more an more of the anti-Western, Anti-Liberal and ultimately anti-Semitic views that has set Imperial Islam on a collision course with freedom loving peoples across the globe. They have chosen their side, they have chosen hate, barbarity and a world of slavery over democracy. The left, exemplified by people like Risser and LondonYank, and indeed most of the commentators at DailyKos seek to destroy all that is Western, tear down the very foundations of civilization in an orgy of self-loathing and rebellion,fueled by their ennui and the hateful cries of new allies, the radical Muslims who are teaching the left to embrace some very old ideas.
