...sure, the kind of moral contortionism on display in West's piece is hardly the exclusive province of the Left. In a recent article in Commentary, Norman Podhoretz argued that Pat Robertson's vocal support for the State of Israel more than compensates for the overt anti-semitism that is to be found in Robertson's books...
...Podhoretz, a prominent Jewish neoconservative, claimed that Robertson's references to Jewish conspiracies were misguided and factually incorrect, but ultimately innocuous. This from a man who is not shy to expose Jew-hatred on just about any other occasion...

Last October, Kristol and Podhoretz decided that these papers could also be the blueprint for a new magazine. They arranged to meet Murdoch for dinner in Beverly Hills, California, and suddenly those memos were worth $3 million more than the paper they were printed...
