We noticed it last week when the Phoenix New Times ran a shocking piece titled Jew Roundup. The far-left publication was engaging in its habitual assault on state Sen. Russell Pearce and other Republicans, and used this outrageous and despicable leap to make what they thought was a point.
It fell flat. Conservatives and what the Left would derogatorily characterize as the “Religious Right“saw no humor in the blatant anti-Semitic characterizations and overtly Naziesque depictions.
But their indignation is, unfortunately, a one-way street.
The local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was uncharacteristically silent. And the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix (JNGP) ran this limp editorial in which they shockingly called Michael Lacey’s vicious piece, “clearly satirical” and warmly referred to Lacey and his tabloid as “known for being provocative, often to great effect.”
