Dodos lacking the ability to engage in real debate.

Take a look at the comment section on one of Crazy Ant’s posts.

Ant Lowy's leftist buddies are trying (among other things) to defend the little man from legitimate, accurate criticism that his appointment to a publicly funded position is disgusting and wrong.

Is it funny, or is it sad, that while pro-Israel commenter Captain keeps her or his posts calm, logical, intelligent and coherent, Crazy Ant’s supporters respond with gems like this:

Darryl Mason (his blog) :

“…why would you even visit here, let alone bother commenting?”

Weezil:

“…captain is a troll. Popping around blog comments to vex and annoy is a troll’s main job.”

Addamo:

"Captain,

I actually thought you had something to contribute to this forum, but you have proven by this post that you are a complete and utter moron – a Troll in fact [ed: blah blah blah ad hominem, etc]. How dare you come to this forum and direct such insults to the moderator? [ed: insults, my arse] If you don’t like it, go forth and multiply. No one is forcing you to post or read theses threads. What are you here for? To try and slay a dragon so that you can run back to your Zionists [ed: later 'Zionazis', from Addamo] wing nut fellow travelers and get a pat on your head from your handlers as you boast of your great adventure? [ed: incidentally, Captain does deserve a to be congratulated for putting up with these blatantly ignorant anti-Zionist dodos. It’s hardly an adventure though; it’s a nightmare trying to speak rationally to anyone at Crazy Ant’s blog.]

You’re have made a pathetic attempt to trivialize Ant’s credentials [ed: what credentials?], and insisted that his success is purely the result of him exploiting his Jewish heritage. Who gives a damn whether Ant represents Jews or anyone else [ed: many Jews would care, a lot. Having Ant represent the Jewish community would be similar to having Forest Gump represent, say, Christians]. His appointment was not about politics, but academic inquiry [ed: But Ant accepts he is not an academic]. His pos8ition would be compromised if he were to be representing anyone [ed: HA HA! As if Ant is neutral in any way, as implied by Addamo!]– but for wingnuts like yourself, not being an Israeli apologist must make you biased against Jews., What utter BS.

[…]

Who gives a damn as to whether you think ant is qualified for his position? You have not been endowed with the responsibility of making that decision [ed: As a tax-payer, I sure as hell give a damn, make the lazy shit get a real job]."

It really is no coincidence that the left have such poor form when it comes to debate based on reason, and facts. They certainly cannot rely on these traits, and they cannot be consistent. It is an often funny, but usually sad state of affairs.

For now, let's all have a laugh at little Lowenstein, who seems to think he is a journalist, and not a failed trainee.
