First They Came For Gregg Easterbrook’s Non-Job, In An Anti-Semitic Purge of Protestants, And I Said Nothing
I also note that the story talks about the Beauchamp non-scandal as if it was a real thing.

Easterbrook singlehandedly refutes the “Jews are educated” stereotype.
Easterbrook isn’t Jewish, and in fact, had to apologize for some remarks that were facially anti-semitic.
The soft global warming denialist Presbyterian given to noting the avariciousness of Jewish Hollywood executives and today mostly known for his schticky and repetitive football writing is the Jew of Even the Liberal Fascism.
My God, it’s full of adjectives…
And you know who else used too many adjectives?
Schoolhouse Rock?
That, uh, was the joke.
Poe’s Law strikes again.
I don’t understand.
The Free Beacon calls him a Jew.
He’s somehow convinced a fair few people of the notion that he’s an east coast intellectual, which is pretty much the same thing.
Did he actually apologize? I don’t remember that. I remember the incident, he criticized Michael Eisner for being Jewish. Actually, he criticized Eisner for doing something that would be okay if a non-Jew did it, allowing a movie to be made that had violence in it in order to make money, but if someone Jewish did it, it was the act of a money-grubbing Jew.
Okay, I looked it up. He did the ‘I am sorry if anyone was offended’ apology.
A nice comment on the site:
The public was warned.
Perhaps he meant that it couldn’t go any lower. Nothing Chait or anyone else says can lower my opinion of those dolts.
Any mention of Juicebox Mafioso?
I hear the whole purge was coordinated through Journolist.
Semi-related lulzes:
Needs moar Darleen Click
Some racist cartoons always spice up a non-controversy.
Boy, that’s some powerful roster of thought leaders there. I wouldn’t trust that crew to empty out a litter box.
The list of real-world accomplishments of that group must be utterly staggering. If someone can start it.
Well, Adam Baldwin was awesome as Jayne on Firefly.
That might be about it.
I got a rise out of him by once calling him “Crappiest Actor on X-Files.”
He used that for about two years to point out how angry liberals are.
Well that IS an awfully high bar
A difficult balance of menacing and goofy, to be sure. It was a wonderful performance.
Boy, when you can’t get Chuck Norris or Ted Nugent, you’ve really hit rock bottom.
Trying to decide who between Ace and Col. Mustard is a more farcical “thought leader”.
Whichever it is, he clearly comes in behind Adam Baldwin on that scale. Whatever happened to all of the other Not-Alec Baldwins, anyway?
Check the SyFy Channel…
He’s not just a Not-Alec. He’s a Not-Baldwin.
Wiki tells me I got him confused with Stephen, the “I’m moving to Canada if Obama wins” member of the Alec Baldwin Baldwins.
Aside from their choices of people here, I think this is a decent idea.
Of course, in this format the “”leaders”” (extra scare quotes for obvious reasons…) won’t have time to do any research to speak intelligently. Somehow, I feel like this won’t change a thing.
I would enjoy seeing the LGM crew chatting sometimes, but who has the time?
The conversation? or the Toxic Dump?
An “ongoing dialogue”? Will there be trays to catch the drool?
And glancing at the table of comments, I see that Cohn, Rosin, and Rosen escaped the purge, probably by pretending to be Christian.
Ah, okay, I actually read the piece, which tries to make the point that it’s pro-Israel stance is softening. Yeah The mag was so much better when it was headed by a rabid anti-Arab bigot.
Don’t we all miss the days of Peretz’s blog? Getting infuriated just from looking at the titles of his blog posts (which always seemed to come from some alternate universe whose details were known only to Peretz) used to be one of the highlights of my day.
Don’t forget his Mini-Me, Jamie Kirchick.
Fuck, I’d forgotten.
One of the purged Jews!
Don’t use their labels. A policy of denouncing as anti-Semitic anyone more open to peace than, say, Avigdor Lieberman is not “pro-Israel”, and – most especially – diverging from such beliefs as Lieberman’s does not mean you cannot be “pro-Israel”.
Maybe if Sarah “The Whore of Babblin’-on” Palin can learn to type-out her word-spews, she can find a home at the DC Fry Bacon.
Bill “WRONG!!!” Kristol got exactly the son-in-law he so richly deserves.
There are many ways one can criticize the Snowbilly Grifter without stooping to “whore.”
Sorry about that – I was punnin’, and I guess it wasn’t funnin’ that context.
But she does babble-on, doesn’t she?
And getting paid a million dollars a year for it, from FOX. At least for awhile.
So, maybe I should call her a word-worker, instead. ;-)
Point taken, though, Mal.
I always liked Kondike Barbie, myself.
It’s a close question–I see how you could infer sexism from “whore.” On the other hand, she sells her politics for money. Anyone have any problem with calling Newt Gingrich a “whore”? If the metaphor fits . . .
I think you folks know me well enough to know that I’m not in any way, a misogynist.
I was just playing with words.
Agreed, I just think it is a bad way to refer to a female. Rea raises an interesting question with Newt.
Also too – Ok, how about this, then:
“The Hoar of Babblin’-on”?
Or, “The Hoary of Babblin’-on”?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hoary
Of course, I’ll have to give a dictionary link everytime I try to use it…
The problem is that comparing idiots and grifters to sex workers is insulting to sex workers.
Even setting aside the potential sexist connotations, lame puns like that have no place in civilized polity. That’s not a joke, that’s an assault on the very idea of comedy.
Also petty name calling that is probably counterproductive to reasoned political discussion, but mostly it’s just a bad joke.
I thought it was a pretty good pun.
That’s the problem with puns – people either love them, or hate them.
I’m from the school of, the worse the pun, the better it is.
But, I guess I don’t have to tell anyone that, after this exchange.
Hamlet, after all, is full of bad puns.
Well, sure, but do you really go for Shakespearean comedy?
So, arbiter, we should all go New York Times in our comments and refer to Snowbily Snookie as “Ms. Palin?” Please. Serious people get serious treatment. The only things Mooserella was ever serious about were the grift and self-aggrandizement.
Mooserella.
I like it.
I don’t know what Snookie did to deserve that.
Mooselini, Il Dunce?
What, exactly, would their objection to purging Jews be if it were happening?
It means that TNR will come out full-fledged in favor of the brown people
The Free Beacon is Bill Kristol’s new project. For the right payoff, they’d find anti-semitism in the Torah.
Well, the liberal “wait for 40 years” Moses-Aaron clique did exterminate the conservative “Invade The Promised Land Now” Korach partisans, so it’s clearly not neo-conservative friendly.
Plus, all those prophets telling Israel what they’re doing wrong: if that’s not anti-Semitic….
Jeremiah was a
bullfroganti-Semite.“Nazi” scans better.
For purely rhythmic purposes, “blackshirt” would have to be my top choice.
That works, yeah.
Never understood a word he said, but he always let me share his wine. Unfortunately it was Manischewitz.
Three generations of Kristol-family punditry are enough!
Ah, the Beauchamp scandal–big rightwingnut victory at the time, but the unfortunate sequel where all of their witnesses to the good behavior of our troops went to prison for first degree murder means that nowdays they have to be discrete in referring to it. And so it is here, where the name “Beauchamp” is not mentioned (someone might google it!), but the statement is made, “reinstalled former editor Franklin Foer, who had left after presiding over a scandal surrounding a series of fabricated reports from Iraq.”
How did I not see this coming? The wingers may not be good at much, but nobody beats them at nepotism.
One assumes they think Easterbrooks was a camouflage- after all its hard to accuse one of anti-semitism when part of one’s evidence is the firing of a man accused of the same (on more valid ground admittedly).
Or they’re too stupid to go search Wiki.
Altho, to be fair, he attends a half-Christian, half-Jewish Episcopalian….yes, you read that correctly…church.
How does that even work? Is this the Jews Sort-Of For Jesus?
Well no, Episcopalian = Anglican, right? So it’s more Jews for sort-of-atheism
I’m an Atheist Jew; I know a lot of Atheist Jews. Part of growing up and still identifying yourself as Jewish in a Christian country is not accepting Jesus as divine. Not even as being the specific notion of the divine you’re rejecting. It’s that old joke about fighting over exactly what it is you don’t believe in.
Also: I thought the line on Anglicans was that they venerated jumble sales and flower arranging – not that they worshiped nothing.
Link, or we will think you are making shit up.
Schmeks and Gloks??
Don’t overlook the Free Beacon’s reference to “wealthy socialite Chris Hughes, who is best known for sharing a room with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard University.”
Or, as they say on the right, “fag.”
If this is anti-semitic, how would the Free Beacon describe my preferred policy of firing *everyone* who works at TNR?
too “polgramy”
