Jesse A. Myerson has treated us to full-throated defenses of communism before, but today, he’s got something extra-special: an unhinged, anti-Semitic rant!
Wealthy, powerful, well-connected Jews depicting themselves as part of a huddling, vulnerable minority make me sick.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
To simultaneously advocate for war, Apartheid, spying on Muslims, &c. *and* be like "YOU'RE JEW-COUNTING" when someone looks at The Nation?
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
That shit is bogus as fuck. And it dishonors victims of actual Antisemitism, not to mention the legacy of Jews for universal human rights.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
There's such a wonderful tradition of humane, universalist, socialist Jewry — artistic, hilarious, smart… to instead go w/ banal Zionism?

CLASSY! RT @JAMyerson: Wealthy, powerful, well-connected Jews depicting themselves as part of a huddling, vulnerable minority make me sick.

@EliLake Come, Eli. You've got to read the rest of the tweets in that series.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
I love it. @EliLake, who <3 Apartheid, war, colonialism, gets to squeal "JEW COUNTING" and pretend he's both classy and humane. What a joke.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
.@EliLake disgraces generations of Jewish insistence on universal human rights. Judaism is a mandate for justice, not a coward's cloak.

Come on, @EliLake, @JAMyerson is a communist, which implies Jew-baiting https://t.co/GaGN8X8ttm

@nickgillespie @EliLake Em, he's also a Jew, as lots and lots of Communists have been, including Marx.

That would’ve been a good time for Myerson to shut up. He didn’t:
@jamespoulos @EliLake Lol, neo-cons aren't for *universal* rights! That would imply betraying Israel, Saudi Arabia, other NC buddies.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
When my great grandparents fled the shtetl, they sought universal equality. @elilake, self-appointed Jewish spokesman, is their antithesis.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
Such cowardice, @elilake, for one who thrives on access to the powerful to sniffle that he needs protection, while invoking the Holocaust.
— #FeelTheBurghardt (@JAMyerson) March 20, 2014
When far-left American Jews went to the deep south to help overthrow Jim Crow, that was a good look on us. Not @EliLake's neo-con shit.

He’s out of his damn mind.
Moron communist sympathizer decides to let the world know he's also an anti-Semite. Shocking. https://t.co/Fzhp9zzWJM

@JAMyerson @lachlan What is it about people who save their money that makes communists so pissed off? Oh yeah that's right.

I vaguely recall hearing something about a time when Jews were scapegoated. Oh well, I'm sure it was no big deal @gigg423 @JAMyerson
