By ROBERT STARK

The ADL is accusing the New York Times‘ Maureen Dowd of anti-semitism over a recent op-ed titled “Virtuous Bankers? Really!?!”   The article is about corruption on Wall Street specifically involving Goldman Sachs. In a letter to the Editor in the NYT, ADL National Chair Robert G. Sugarman stated, “While one can agree or disagree with Maureen Dowd’s portrayal of Goldman Sachs and other bankers (column, Nov. 11), her statement that “the bankers who took government money and then gave out obscene bonuses are the same self-interested sorts Jesus threw out of the temple” potentially raises one of the classic themes of anti-Semitism linking Jews and abhorrent money-lending practices.

Color Me Racist

It’s now official. I’m a racist. No less than a former president of the United States has declared that if I oppose the takeover of 17% of our economy under the guise of health care reform, I hate black people.

According to President Carter, U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s objection to a ‘misstatement’ in President Obama’s speech to Congress last week was an act “based on racism” and rooted in fears of a black president. And a Rasmussen survey shows that fully 12% of Americans agree with him.

The old media has chimed in, with the left’s favorite columnist, Maureen Dowd, going a step further. Rep. Joe Wilson said, “You lie’ to Obama. But Maureen Dowd heard, “You lie, boy.” Boy being one of the many politically incorrect words the left has decided is an indicator of racism. Point made. Case closed.
