Jeff Jacoby: Anti-Semites and double standards - '...Gibson and Stone are both guilty of indulging in rank anti-Semitism (for which both promptly "apologized"), but only Gibson was buried under a newsroom avalanche of outrage and disgust.

Surely they wouldn't overlook Stone's noxious rant just because he is a pluperfect left-wing activist. Surely that can't be the explanation for so disgraceful a double standard. Can it?'
