I am denounced. Again. This time by some collectivist twits called the National Jewish Democratic Council.

Denounce capitalist agents, comrades.

NJDC Denounces Depiction of Eric Holder in Nazi Uniform by FNC-Featured Blogger

NJDC — October 12, 2011 – 11:17 am



The National Jewish Democratic Council denounces the photoshopped images of Attorney General Eric Holder as a Nazi and former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives head Ken Melson as Nuremberg defendant as posted by Mike Vanderboegh—a right wing blogger who has appeared recently on Fox News and was honored in September by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). According to Media Matters:

Last month right-wing blogger Mike Vanderboegh accepted the ‘David and Goliath Award’ for ‘intrepid’ investigative journalism from Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). The now-award winning ‘journalist’ spent the past few days repeatedly posting a photoshopped image of Attorney General Eric Holder dressed in a Nazi officer’s uniform….

Vanderboegh is most well known for encouraging people to throw bricks through the windows of Democratic offices and has been featured on Fox News in recent months. Beyond his call to vandalism, Vanderboegh has a history of activism with militias, the extremist ‘three percenters,’ and the Minutemen border vigilante group, and has promoted Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy theories.

As we have consistently said before, invoking the Holocaust to make political points is never acceptable. We strongly encourage others to condemn this type of behavior when they see it.

Unfortunately, after allowing individuals such as Glenn Beck and Hank Williams, Jr. to use Holocaust rhetoric during their appearances on the air, it is unlikely that Fox News will do the right thing and repudiate Vanderboegh. Indeed, Fox News’ own chief executive compared NPR executives to the Nazis and lashed out at those criticizing the network for allowing such behavior to take place.

That leaves JPFO—a Jewish group that recently awarded Vanderboegh—to act responsibly and make it clear that his behavior is unacceptable.

Uh, well, actually the photoshops, done by a very talented friend of mine, have no reference to the Holocaust. In the case of the Holder image, the point was to compare him to Field Marshal Freiderich von Paulus, who, like Holder, was given an impossible task of defending the indefensible by his Dear Leader. In the case of Melson, it was merely to point out the wages of committing acts of war against a sovereign nation -- in his case Mexico.

But of course, the reference to Media Matters tells you that this is not about logic, but rather about the desperate politics of scandal cover-up and deflection.

Perhaps I will write a letter to these collectivist twits refuting their functional racism -- by defending the administration which committed acts of war on the Mexican people with depraved indifference to the hundreds, if not thousands, of Latino bodies that they stacked up for a political end, surely that is all that the Gunwalker Scandal amounts to. And now the NJDC is defending that functional, murderous racism. Perhaps we should do a photoshop of them in Einsatzgruppen poses. They sure as hell care more about their political allies, no matter how bloody their hands, than they do a whole bunch of dead Mexican innocents.

I'm sure there's a moral distinction there, but I'm damned if it is obvious to me.

And spare me the gas about the Holocaust. I've been fighting anti-Semites and neoNazis all my life -- at street level where it can cost you something other than the discomfort of being offended by having your hypocrisy pointed out to you.
