GIULIO MEOTTI: Dieudonné: Anti-Semitism That Makes People Laugh

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/14342

“I am an Islamic-Christian”, says the comedianThe problem of Dieudonné is that his anti-Semitism has people laughing. Jews should take it seriously..

When Dieudonné presented his “anti-Zionist” political list at the French elections four years ago, he chose a manifest in which 20 people are laughing, staring into the lens, while he does a pseudo-Fascist salute.

Now, that gesture, the “quenelle”, has become iconic in the Islamicized areas of France, as well as in the football arenas.

But it would be a mistake to pin the lable of “Nazism” on Monsieur Dieudonné. This Parisian comic is actually a champion of “islamo-progressivism” of France, a category coined by Catherine Kintzler.

His monologues are oversubscribed and the star Dieudonné is always welcomed by crowds shouting “viva viva Dieudonne, freedom of expression”. There are those who call him the “French Malcolm X”.

The key to his success is firstly in his mixed ethnic identity: ethnic, since his mother is Breton and Dieudonné’s father from Cameroon; but especially his religious ethnicity: “I am an Islamic-Christian”, says the comedian.

So the comedian is “the native speaker de la République”. Then, even physically, Dieudonné makes contempt for Jews popular, with his cherubic and bearded face, expanded by a continuous and crass laugh that fascinates the Parisian aristocracy.

http://spectator.org/articles/57340/so-many-intolerable-lies Two events last week — one an announcement by the Marine Corps, the other speeches at the inauguration of New York City’s new mayor — illustrated vividly how President Obama and his media cohort have so narrowed  the boundaries of political speech that we no longer believe we can challenge outright lies.

The Inequality Smokescreen Posted By Bruce Thornton

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/bruce-thornton/the-inequality-smokescreen/print/ Desperate for a diversion from the disasters of Obamacare, the president has conjured up the old leftist “income inequality” cliché. His court-pundits complain that “the richest nation on earth is starting to resemble a banana republic,” according to The New Republic, while Berkeley Professor Robert Reich has thundered against “casino capitalism,” blaming it for […]
