Israel's Amen Corner silent on AIPAC-Franklin spy scandal
By Justin Raimondo
Neocon Michelle Malkin has not one but two posts on the stunning silence emanating from
the right wing of the "blogosphere" when it comes to the Larry Franklin-AIPAC spy caper.
She writes:
"So far, the commentariat and blogosphere (both left and right sides) have been
curiously quiet about the news that Pentagon official Larry Franklin was arrested for
improperly passing classified information to AIPAC".
She then goes on to cite "colleagues I respect and admire" who are "downplaying"
Franklin's treason. Why, even the New York Sun is "continuing to pooh-pooh" Franklin's
alleged actions.
I have news for Neocon Michelle Malkin: the New York Sun is to Israel what the Daily
Worker was to the old Soviet Union.
Is that really such a big secret?
If you follow the links in Michelle Malkin's post, you discover that those "colleagues"
she "respects and admire" are none other than two of the biggest apologists for Israel on
the American Right: David Frum and Joel Mowbray.
Michelle Malkin finds "the apologists and apathetic" to be "troubling", but she ought to
wake up and smell the friggin' coffee -- the so-called "conservative" movement has been
functioning as Israel's amen corner in the U.S. for quite some time now, and that she
finds this troubling shows that she's just not paying attention.
When it comes to the Franklin affair, we hear not a peep out of the usually loquacious
Instapundit; the cat seems to have got Roger L. Simon's tongue; someone pulled the plug on
Powerline, David Horowitz & Co. have nothing to say, and even Charles Johnson, the failed
musician who has now taken up hate-mongering over at "Little Green Footballs" -- usually
barking at the moon at the least provocation -- is maintaining an embarrassed silence
about a spy who sold out America for Israel.
What gets me is that these are the same people who have the nerve to bray about
"patriotism" -- and habitually condemn others as less than loyal to this country. But only
when it suits their political agenda.

Of course they are, as would be expected. It's an old game, and they know
how to play it.
