I really wanted to listen to @sullydish and @EliLake argue on @BreakingHistPod, but I couldn't handle Sullivan's behavior. He demanded that Eli let him finish all his points while constantly interrupting Eli every time he tried to answer one of his questions. Really a bummer.
When they say "this is an illegal war", ask them, "under which law?" My responses to @petercardwell on Talk TV when grappling with people who think all war is illegal.
@danpfeiffer Sounds like sour grapes to me. How the mighty have fallen at @crookedmedia. You guys to have really lost the plot. All of you. Huge bummer
Christians. Non-radicalized Muslims. Mormons. Buddhists. Atheists. Other religions. Gays. Queers.
Some of you support Israel, and it’s greatly appreciated.
This message is for those of you who don’t.
I don’t care if you dislike Israel, I don’t even care if you’re an antisemitic asshole. Jews are awesome, but if you want to hate us, you do you.
What I do suggest, however, is you pay more attention to what it is you’re supporting.
I know you think you’re supporting a group that’s trying to destroy Israel and exterminate Jews. But do you really believe that’s all they’re doing?
Have you not listened to them? Have you not paid attention to them?
They want to destroy all infields. Jews. And everyone who doesn’t practice their type of Islam. If you don’t convert, you’ll be murdered or enslaved.
Not my words. They’ve told us.
They want Sharia law. Everywhere.
Being gay or queer will get you thrown off a building.
Females won’t be allowed to vote or drive a car or learn.
Child brides will become the norm.
If a woman doesn’t cover her hair she’ll be beaten to death.
Men will be allowed to rape women, but a woman who is raped will be sentenced to death.
No dancing.
No freedom.
No joy.
No love.
No light.
This is what you’re supporting. This is what you’re enabling. This is what you’re helping to bring about.
You might think this is just about Israel. You might think they are only going after Jews.
And you might be ok with that.
But you’re wrong.
The Jews are just the canary in the coal mine.
They’re coming after you too.
They’re only coming for us first because they know you won’t stand up for us, and they know we would for you.
By taking us out first, we won’t be able to be there for you when they come for you.
This is an evil that wants to take over our world.
This is what you’re supporting.

I know this is old news, but I can't decide which part is most infuriating. Obviously the selfish irresponsibility of universities is near the top of the list, but also way up is the behavior on the left that's making me agree with people I abhor in DC.
@jonfavs Get some new voices on your shows. Have an earnest exchange of ideas. How about @profgalloway? How about @elicalebon? How about covering what's REALLY happening on these campuses? "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" and pro-antifada talk. How is this going to SAVE AMERICA??
@jonfavs Sure, why not? It's not one ore the other. Americans can be anti-BiBi and pro-Israel AND democrats, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Y'all are failing on nuance right now across all your shows. It's really disappointing as an OG fan and supporter of everything you do.
@CrookedMedia This is actually pretty rational, I hate to say because he's a steaming pile of crap otherwise. You guys have really lost the thread on the ME conflict. I'm a staunch liberal married to a secular jew, and y'all are alienating a LOT of democratic, college-educated voters right now
@jonfavs@CrookedMedia those who *know* that if there's no Israel, there will be no jews in the middle east. You guys are losing people. I've been a huge fan since the beginning, but this is ridiculous. It's possible for jews and non-jews to disapprove of BB without being "anti-Israel."
@jonfavs@CrookedMedia you guys are really losing me and a lot of other thoughtful liberals on your coverage of what's going on in the middle east. I'm listening to WAD's 5/11 show, and it's offensively one-sided and inaccurate on a number of claims.
@jonfavs@CrookedMedia This WAD episode has reached a level of straight-up irresponsibility in journalism. It's completely alienating to those who have a nuanced view on the situation, those who don't believe Islamist propaganda against Israel and jews,
@crookedmedia@DaveChappelle I'm a lefty, queer, white, feminist, cis woman (NOT A TERF). I wasn't offended when he told white women to shut up and sit down during 846, I'm not offended by the comments he makes about gay white people or white feminists. An honest listen will reveal his intentions. Try it.
@crookedmedia, I love y'all, but I'm disappointed about the coverage of @DaveChappelle's special on KeepIt and WAD. At least two of the people reporting mention not having seen the special but then opine about what Dave was doing and saying.
@crookedmedia@DaveChappelle What's happening on WAD and Keepit amounts to a podcast version of seeing a headline on Facebook and then sharing it without reading. You guys are better than this. Dave isn't transphobic, and if the people sharing their opinions had actually seen the special, they'd know that.
@crookedmedia@DaveChappelle with the point he's making, but the broad strokes are lazy journalism, especially when the people making them haven't even watched the special. @TrevellAnderson
@crookedmedia@DaveChappelle He even calls out in the special that those with these adamantly opposed opinions are the ones who haven't seen his actual material. If you listen to him, you know he's not misogynist, transphobic, or any of that. He's trying to push buttons to make a point. You can disagree ...
@crookedmedia@DaveChappelle All your constant railing about Boomers and cancel culture and all that (which I agree with) loses a lot of credibility when your own podcast hosts are doing the same thing about this special when they haven't seen it. Nuance is everything. That's Dave's whole point.
