One of Walberg/Jones pieces in Dissident Voice,

full of ludicrous BS about Afghanistan, NATO and opium.

Careless, I don’t get your point, but if this: “To make something a “Nazi Magazine” it would have to be more than 50% Nazi or fellow traveler content.” is what you seriously believe, then I consider that you don’t get any point at all and are pretty stupid.

Conclusion: Eric Walberg is a correspondent of Al Ahram Cairo, he is publishing his articles also on neonazi Websites and on the Website of the Russian-Swedish antisemite who is using the pen name Israel Shamir and he is also a contributor of Neonazi or extreme leftwing Counterpunch.
So what is uniting Al Ahram, “Shamir”, the Neonazi Websites and Counterpunch?

note: I somehow pasted “Palubiski” into my first full paragraph. A result of my trying to make sure not to misspell his name

I must say, I’m stunned by your various lapses into stupidity, Palubiski (sorry if I ever misspell your name. I’m a Chicagoan, but I never got the hang of the Polish/related names), mesquito, Fabian.

mesquito:”They publish a variety of anti-Jew and anti-Israel opinion. The full spectrum!” Yes, that neither makes a Palubiski publication right nor left. Leftists are, after all, the most openly anti-Israel group these days.

Fabian: Well, then, Jew-hatred in the left is a question of statistics now. I am relieved. Is Hitler an outlier in your scale, moron?

Well this is a wildly stupid argument, Fabian, and I know you’re not stupid. No one here claimed Jew hatred was not a characteristic of the left. What was claimed was that the Jew hatred here was specifically of the right. Please, Fabian, no one at all mentioned Nazism on the left as a defense of the original post.

Palubiski : So just how many articles would it take? To make something a “Nazi Magazine” it would have to be more than 50% Nazi or fellow traveler content. To make something Nazi-sympathizing, far less. Of course, the original post used the former appellation. We don’t call politicians , for example, Right if they support all leftist policies except for abortion. We all accept that there is some point in politics where most people do not support precise platform. If someone could even give me reason to think that 10% of Counterpunch was Nazi-ish, I could at least see why someone would think that it’s far right, but I’ve never seen any evidence to that effect. It’s a fairly far leftist magazine that is anti-Israel enough to use writers who happen to be Nazis/Nazi sympathizers, but you can bet they’ll do everything they can to cover that up

John Chuckman (another Canadian I’m afraid), contributes *frequently* to both Counterpunch (http://tinyurl.com/5jc9xn)
and to Rense.com (http://www.rense.com/Datapages/jchuckmam.htm).

That is, he seems equally happy writing pieces for either the anti-Jewish left or for the neo-Nazi right.

He describes himself on his blog as a retired oil executive (http://chuckman.blog.ca/).
Now, he apparently spends all his time spreading his obnoxious views.
