For reasons beyond my comprehension, there are some who will despise odious Jewish moonbats like Harvey Weinstein not so much because they are moonbats, as because they are Jewish. It is also hard to understand why they would be attracted to this pro-Israel site, especially considering that the two most dominant influences on my point of view — Ayn Rand and Mark Levin — have Jewish backgrounds.

Other Jewish countermoonbats whom I hold in extremely high regard include Milton Friedman, David Horowitz, Evan Sayet, and Dennis Prager. See Right Wing News for a list of the top 20 most influential conservative Jews.

The focus on Jewishness as somehow inherently malign does worse than distract us from the actual problem, which is left-wing ideology. It also alienates people who might otherwise be valuable allies.

Obsessive anti-Semites have taken advantage of Moonbattery.com’s wide-open comment policy, which allows people to say whatever they please so long as there are no calls to violence. The exception is hostile trolls who attempt to bend the site to their own purposes by commandeering the comments.
