Some of you may not be aware of a little trafficked website named Media Matters for America, but it is a pretty high-powered website for programming the left-wing attack machine. It is a George Soros-funded entity that claims to be a non-profit — more on that in a minute — and its chief concern is to attack various conservative media outlets (mostly Fox News) and serving as the leading left-wing programmer of the Democrat political narrative. Fox News recently reported that David Brock, MMfA founder, has been paying off his “domestic partner” to keep quiet about the financial fraud going on with MMfA’s accounts, as well. It is also a pretty virulently anti-Jew site and that is something that a lefty icon is calling them on at long last.
MMfA has been in the news of late since the DailyCaller launched an insider expose series of how MMfA is programmed by Obama in secret meetings and in turn is itself programming the media with Obama’s message. Fox News recently reported that David Brock, MMfA founder, has been paying off his “domestic partner” to keep quiet about the financial fraud going on with MMfA’s accounts, as well.
Now leading lefty super-lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, is attacking MMfA for its extreme anti-Semitism.
“It’s the kind of virulent hate speech you’d expect to find on a neo-Nazi website,” Dershowitz says. Showing he’s no right-wing shill, he adds “or in a Patrick Buchanan columns” in for flavor.
Dershowitz is talking about claims that AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is an anti-American organization despite that, as Dershowitz has it, AIPAC is a “widely respected” group that “hundreds of thousands of Jews (and Christians) who support it.”
Dershowitz properly notes that these are the sort of charges of disloyalty that was a “central tenet of Nazism, Stalinism, and other anti-Semitic regimes.”
So, what group has been saying this about AIPAC and American Jewery?
I first came across some of these vile quotes about “Israel firsters” and “dual loyalty” on an actual neo-Nazi website. Surprisingly, however, they were attributed not to the usual suspects, but to a spokesman for Media Matters, a hard left Democratic media attack and watchdog group that started out as an antidote to Fox News, and that still has close connections to the Obama White House.
Dershowitz notes that MMfA is heavily funded by Democrat donors and is a chief arm of Obama’s White House spin machine.
Imaine if a bunch of Republicans and a Republican president were funding a racist organization, one used to undermind American Jews? The Old Media would be losing its mind in exposes and attacks on such dastardly Republicans.
Unfortunately, Dershowitz drops the ball at the end of his piece by assuming that Obama is blissfully unaware that MMfA is such a virulently anti-Semitic organization.
There is no possible way that the President is unaware of this fact. Dershowitz calls for the Prez to distance himself from MMfA, but the fact is MMfA IS the White House. Obama obviously approves of this anti-Semitic hate emanating from MMfA.
Still, despite that Dershowitz if far too generous at the end of his piece, it is good to see the left realizing how horrible this Soros-funded monstrosity is.

If Obama can be tied to a payola scam I’d be tickled pink.
But first lets find out what kind Jew Media Matters is attacking.
Generally theres two kinds of Jews.
The God fearing Israeli who while being bombed everyday still allows those same people to operate commerce in their country under a capitalist system and even hospitalize and see to the healing of those Arabs who are injured trying to kill innocent Jews
And then theres the American apologetic, guilty and self loathing liberal Jew whom from their actions might as well be throwing those bombs over the wall at their own people.
The Jews of the latter make as much sense to me as the Pope performing abortions

Interesting. I remember when Media Matters attacked Right Pundits last year. Never knew they were just shilling for the Demcratic party.

What’s great about Media Matters, and the thing that critics of them never point it, is exactly what they do.
They primarily do one thing:
1. show video excerpts of the right being idiots or saying idiotic things, and (1a) point out what’s idiotic about it.
That’s it. Show clips of the right saying insane things or blatantly lying. That’s their whole deal. And they have TONS of material, daily.
A great counter to the powerful right wing media machine. It’s effective because it clearly points to the constant lying, racism, hypocrisy, and two-facedness of right wing media, in their own words, for the viewer to see for themselves.
No wonder you guys are having a freak out. They call you out. And they’re run by a former right wing media guy who had experience in the dark arts of what the powerful right media does… before he came to his senses and decided to expose it.
