Re: Well they seem to offer much evidence supporting their arguments, and all their detractors seem to offer in return is names calling them anti-Semite, Neo-Nazi, Hitler youth, etc.

If these guys are such kooks why isn't anyone offering reasonable counters to their points? (They may exist, but I have yet to see them)


Well... as an SI veteran and "Honorary member", I feel I can help you here. First, you've got to realize that Robert Barry and his like are "agents pollueurs", that is, "agents pollutants"... It's a particularly toxic kind of agent provocateur. Indeed, the agenda of an agent pollueur is not so much to prompt his/her opponents into offensive remarks and name-calling as it is to befoul the whole thread altogether --regardless of how other posters react.... SI's agents pollueurs strive to spoil the "Stop the War" thread morally and rhetorically in order to herd the audience towards other threads maintained by Zionist crapmongers:

Subject 53271
Subject 51724
Subject 53478
Subject 53805

Agents pollueurs hope that decent, candid posters will eventually be so disgusted and repelled by the name-calling and personal abuse they have themselves stirred on this thread that they'll move away from it and flock towards pro-Israel, Zionist threads. It's that simple!
