That's what one lone water-logged crank (that I saw) was chanting (so I was told) outside the Episcopal Divinity School in Harvard Square last night, where Seva Brodsky was making a presentation entitled, "The Unholy Trinity of strange bedfellows: Islamo-Fascists, Neo-Nazis, and left-wing radical extremists." A call to action had gone out on the local Divestment loons' email list urging people to show up and protest. Somehow they got the impression that I was going to be speaking ("Solomon himself" as the email said) -- I guess the hatas don't read blockquotes right. I am now a brand....or a moonbat magnet or something.
As I mentioned in that original post, Seva had been thrown out of an "art" exhibit some months ago, and this presentation was part of the deal they made to smooth things over. Wanna hear audio of Seva getting tossed way back when? Sure you do.
Anyway, the EDS folks were quite gracious, even distributing a flier entitled "Guidelines for Dialogue vs. Debate" to everyone entering to make sure thing ran smoothly. Seva spoke a bit about his background and thoughts, then proceeded to show video of his getting grabbed at a City Hall protest, his appearance on Hannity & Colmes, and then lengthy excerpts from the films The Forgotten Refugees and Obsession and followed it with a Q&A. I'd say there were about 20 people there, mostly friends or acquaintances of Seva, one(?) of the Divestment "enemy," one faculty member and...about two or three EDS students. All went quietly and smoothly...maybe toooo quietly.
Anyway, the dinner afterwards was good, and a congratulations is owed to Seva for his first jaunt in front of the microphone. You've gone "legit!"

the hatred of this grupg is a badge of honor. As a reader, I am proud of you.
My admiration for you continues to grow. To be protested by name is indeed proof that you are having an impact. Be proud.
