  • So if I pick up a copy of the Cambridge Journal of Economics or the Eastern Economic Journal, I can expect to find higher-quality work than in the AER?

    Of the journals Galbraith mentions, the only one I'm somewhat familiar with is the Review of Income and Wealth. I've read some useful articles there and it seems to be pretty good -- but in a pretty narrow field. I bet it's also the most highly-rated of the journals Galbraith lists. Seriously, if I want to find cutting-edge heterodox work, where I should look?

  • I don't have much to say to someone who believes that "those six million hooknosed, pushy Jews got what was coming to them."

    I will note that although Dershowitz is no fan of Zayed, your claim that "Dershowitz compared Shiekh Zayed ... to Hitler" is another lie.

  • Mrs. Panstreppon writes:

    "Those six million hooknosed, pushy Jews got what was coming to them."

    So it certainly should be clear where Pannstreppon is coming from.

  • I rated your post a "1" because it is very hard to believe that Dershowitz blames the Palestinians for the Holocaust instead of the Nazis. And yet you repeated it as if it was true.

  • Dershowitz has written extensively on Jimmy Carter's new book, for example here.
    If you can find any accusation of anti-semitism, by all means let us know.

    But we'll have a long wait, since Dershowitz has not accused Carter of being an anti-semite.

  • About the Nobel Prize for Peace being given to "Jew-hating Nazis." Perhaps you're forgetting that Arafat got one?

  • I think he's saying that there really aren't any prominent people like this:

    "who throw the word anti-semite around at everyone they disagree with, or who disagrees with Israel"

    If there really were such people, Rosenberg would have named them.

  • So what's wrong with being "OJ Simpson's Lawyer"? I think that everyone accused of a crime is entitled to a lawyer and a fair trial, even people who look guilty, even accused terrorists, even OJ.

    By the way, it's hardly accurate to describe Dershowitz as OJ's lawyer, given his very minor role. Dershowitz is an appeals lawyer, and there's no need to appeal a verdict of not guilty.

  • US troops are dying in Iraq "to defend Israel"? What they hell are you talking about?

    And what does Haim Saban have to do with anything? If he's an Israeli making contributions to US campaigns, you should report him, because that's illegal. But, of course, Saban is an American and bmastiff is a liar.

  • I tend to agree with you about the Wal-Mart health care law, because it's something new and different, that could well end up serving as a model.

    But at the same time, I think that Living Wage laws are pretty pointless, since they affect very few workers. Minimum wages are hardly new, so there's little point in thinking of them as a demonstration program. Instead, they're worthless symbolic victories, absorbing energy & resources that could have been better spent to achieve real victories.
