That’s kind of weird, considering the number of recent terrorist attacks committed in western countries that completely fit this MO.

Driving vehicles in to crowds on purpose has been a pretty popular mode of terrorism as of late, so I don’t see this as an out there assumption really.

Only you would go into a post about the desecration of a Jewish cemetery and constant death threats to the Jewish community and scream, “WE ARE MORE OPPRESSED! HOW DARE YOU BE RACIST!”

There has been anti-Semitism for thousands of years. Did you really think it would go away? The Jewish people will forever be the world’s scapegoat because there will always be people who will want to blame their misfortunes on someone else. And Jews are the easiest target.

It’s Friday, I’m barely working, and I have the time and the thick skin needed to throw out this statement:

Actually, no. Criticizing Likud, or Kadima, Shas, Labor, etc, is something most Israelis do on a regular basis. Nothing anti-Semitic about it whatsoever.

Agreed.

I don’t understand the Schumer hatred here, I just don’t. She’s hilarious and she shares our values but she sucks because she said a couple of politically incorrect things? She’s a fucking comedian! (I’m not yelling at you Sparky, I love you, lol! I’m just so sick of this constant attack on her from both the left and…

It’s not being stupid, this woman has a career of standing up for women and political minorities as an attorney for the ACLU(she could have made bank for any private firm) at the Court of Appeals and on SCOTUS. It’s disconcerting that social media warriors, most of whom have contributed jack and **** to this issue,…

Yeah, no.

Yep. And I really think, as I noted in a previous comment to this story, that Dunham inspires so much vitriol at least in part because of the jealousy that surrounds very young people (particularly women, perhaps?) who find a lot of success at a very young age. There’s this feeling that they haven’t properly paid…

This. The whole thing comes off as very defensive and kind of amateurish, especially the whole bit about how LD’s blog/newsletter is supposed to be a sort of anti-Jezebel.

Also, people like to talk about Dunham’s extreme privilege and how she would never be where she is now without her parents, etc. But I dunno. How many people outside of certain very artsy NYC circles really knew who Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham were before Lena hit the scene? It’s not like she was Steven freakin’…

Ehhh, come on. They’re two women who work in the comedy realm and they’re joking around, for Chrissakes. As Lena said in her tweets, the Met story was about her own insecurities, not a dig on Beckham. That’s what she does, guys — pretty much all the time. It’s her schtick.
