He does not allow other bloggers to present opinions that are in striking opposition to his own. The most recent targets on his website appear to be other Jews, of course, with the recent and rather surprising addition of gay men. Since Richard was so aghast at the alleged homophobic invective directed againt him by Masada 2000, I would have thought that he would be more sensitive to the concerns of gay and lesbian people, particularly his brethren here in the USA. Not true! When some of his Islamofascist bloggers said that the murder of "Homosexuals" in Iran and Saudi Arabia was "legal" and totally justified, he remained silent. One blogger on his site was forbidden to post there when he repeatedly demanded to know why Richard would not criticize these reprehensible opinions. The sad truth is that Richard chooses to go with Islamofascism over free speech when he removes posts condemning these three nice Islamic fascists and AND simultaneous failed to put up one of his own. He has even allowed these three bloggers to berate the one writer on his blog who stood up in defense of gay and lesbian rights. You ask: "wait, but where is Richard Silverstein's outrage against the pseudoscholarly rationale that murdering gay men is a perfectly legitimate extension of Islam?" "Where is his outrage against that? " The answer: no where. Richard plays it safe with radical Islam, even if it means that he will look like the total hypocrit he is. In their OWN words, these people rationalize the murder of a group of people. Earth to Richard... I don't think Masada2000 got even close to that kind of hyperbole. Finally, Most of us, having read Richard, know he is the personification of hypocrisy, but I confess that I was surprised at his behavior here. It's extraordinary that he gets huffy over vibrator jokes, but his feathers don't get even slightly ruffled when these folks want to hang a few more fags for defiling their Koran. Alas, the open condemnation of frank murder from the mouth of Muslims is not something he feels he needs to address. He is too busy getting his shorts all stretched out of shape because Masada2000 has allegedly used a few bad words against Richard and his SHIT list friends.

If you can't put together a coherent argument, but can only object to valid arguments because they don't conform to your biased worldview, then people aren't that likely to pay much attention to you. This is why my site has good traffic and yours has..well.. You reap what you sow, Mikeyboy.

I'm sorry your whinge doesn't deserve a "point by point refutation" or even a "well crafted response", but if your post had some real connection to the point raised by Richard it might have been a different matter. Dave,
