Little Green Footballs takes on Krugman
LGF:
"Paul Krugman attempts to defend his ugly column excusing Mahathir Mohamad’s antisemitic speech to the OIC, in a confused piece that plumbs new depths of moral equivalence: A Willful Ignorance. I don’t have time to fisk the whole thing (it pretty much fisks itself anyway), but one sentence really sticks out:
"'Why won't the administration mollify Muslims by firing Lt. Gen. William Boykin, whose anti-Islamic remarks have created vast ill will, from his counterterrorism position?'
"'Mollify?' This sentence makes more sense if you substitute the first synonym for 'mollify' listed at Merriam Webster’s dictionary: 'appease.' He excuses the noxious hatred of Mahathir Mohamad, while at the same time calling for General Boykin to be fired for creating 'vast ill will' ... it’s just sick, and totally ignores the fact that Islamic ill will toward America and Israel existed long before these charges against General Boykin were trumpeted around the world by our feckless, self-hating media."
