The newest batshit crazy rumor? That Israeli melons carry AIDS.

I don’t want to go into details, but this reminds of a certain short story by Charles Bukowski…

Tat, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Platitude: a flat, dull, or trite remark, esp. one uttered as if it were fresh or profound.

And I don't think that describes all blogs at all. But it does describe Whittle's essays.

All blogs are nothing but platitudes of one sort or another. They’re just unedited opinion jourals, full of whatever each blogger thinks is important enough to write about. Any blogger that pretends their blog is something more important than that, is being dishonest.

Bill Whittle has never been on my reading list. He writes platitudes, does not research his work, gets angry when you point out the flaws in his arguments (for instance, saying that if only Jews had fought back, they wouldn't have been slaughtered by the Nazis, ignoring the fact that Jews DID fight back and other important facts about the Holocaust), and, in fact, is badly in need of an editor. In short, the man's a hack. And oh, yeah. There was that thing conflating Jews with Nazis that really bothered me.

Now it's our turn as Rosie O'Donnell (talk about bats) signs on with the 911 truthies. Conspiranoia is not, or not only, about ignorance and gullibility. It is rather, as Bill Whittle argues overwhelmingly, a personality defect.

Can we start a rumor in the territories that Oxygen is a Zionist plot and should be avoided at all costs?

“Batshit crazy. I’m telling you, when it comes to Israel, the Arab world is batshit crazy.” – MY

It seems most are habitual liars and dumb as dirt. Batshit crazy seems to cover it pretty well, though.

Hamas in January said it was willing to accept a temporary Palestinian state in exchange for a 10-year truce with Israel, but top Hamas officials and spokesmen for the terror group told WND the truce was meant to show some flexibility to the international community. They said Hamas’ goal of destroying Israel had not changed, and that the terror group has a 10-year plan to build a large army and defeat the Jewish state.

Then, on March 30 Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan, quoting the hadith – the oral tradition of Muhammad – declared to the Palestinian audience: “The Hour [of Resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: “Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!”

They must think everyone is just as gullible and stupid and deceived as they themselves are.
