27. Yep

[FakeNoose]

42. He should probably avoid the Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, VA

Just sayin'

[cstanleytech]

51. Plus any other reputable establishment that has a "No Pricks Allowed" policy. nt

[Cha]

71. And, a whole hellava Lot More..

Typical of Fraud fans to whine they're not being treated fairly. What a slide down in the Gutter Dershowitz took.

Thanks for Seth, Goth

[RhodeIslandOne]

2. You've always been a piece of shit Al

I'm glad you're finally being told as much.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Oh poor baby. No pink wine for you.

[dem4decades]

4. Then go to Mar a Largo you prick.

If his friends are shunning him imagine how the rest of us feel.

[maxrandb]

5. Can't these monsters eat imigrant children's livers in peace?

[Hekate]

6. Schmuck

[Squinch]

7. That's not discrimination, Al. You're just odious. No law says you must be invited to barbecues.

[grantcart]

50. It's discernment not discrimination

[Squinch]

52. Ooh! I hope someone thought of that to say to his face!

[Freethinker65]

8. Um. If they are banning you from social interaction, they are no longer your friends.

I am sure Alan can find some new intellectual and enlightened friends among MAGA/Trump loyalists crowd...oh wait, that might be difficult. hahahahah

[unblock]

9. For some people, it really sucks to be judged on the content of your character

[busterbrown]

17. Perhaps he should migrate to Israel

where he can rent Bib's guest house... Being a Jew, it amazes me how so many Jews who were raised to embrace empathy, compassion and honesty.. Have become fans of right wing rhetoric..

[elias7]

37. My father, my brother...

It boggles my sister's and my minds...

[unblock]

40. Not so many. Jews are still the democrats' second most reliable faction

It's just that the right wingers get more airtime.

[busterbrown]

68. Yep..

I agree...

[Mike Nelson]

10. Dear Alan...

… we weep for you...

[sheshe2]

11. Get off Martha's vineyard, she doesn't want you there anymore.

Go back to the pervert and chief you so adore. Martha? She is just not that into you anymore.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. I know, right? There are plenty of Trump properties that would roll out the welcome mat I'm sure.

[sheshe2]

20. Plenty of MAGA's out there...

The welcome mat at Marred They Go.

Home home on the range
Where the pervs and supremacists play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are darkened all day

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. I'm not a fan of discrimination, but every once in awhile, karma catches up to an asshole. nt

[madinmaryland]

21. Actually, it's not discrimination if you CHOOSE to support an asshole.

[lunatica]

33. In what way is this discrimination?

Discrimination is unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age or sex.

His ex friends are turning their backs on him, based on his admiration and defense drivel of Trump. He’s trying to make it about anti semitism. I’m pretty sure some of those who are rebuffing him are Jewish too.

[smirkymonkey]

14. What a whiny little snowflake!

That isn't discrimination Alan, they just can't stand you as a person. There is no reason why anyone should be required to tolerate your presence.

[Gothmog]

15. Alan has been an asshole for a while and these reactions are to be expected

[Blue_true]

16. Oh my, my.

We can't have that happening in society, not inviting that dirtbag to parties where the really good Chardonnay is being served, with clams on the half shell.

[virgogal]

18. He's being shunned by the wealthy summer people-----who cares,they'll

all be back home in a couple of months.

Phonies all.

[JHB]

19. They were never you friends, Alan...

...and you burned out your name-drop value.

Supply and demand, sugarbum.

Maybe you should sue. That'll bring them back.

[spanone]

22. Bwahahahahaaaa....piss off alan

[Caliman73]

23. Buzz words. The Conservative forte.

Discrimination has different meanings and these jerks know it. We discriminate every day. I do not drink spoiled milk. I discriminate between milk that has gone bad, and that which is still fresh. Similarly, I discriminate dangerous situations. I was digging in my back yard yesterday and out popped a snake. I jumped back at first, then through discrimination, I realized that it was just your average Garter snake, a Western Ribbon snake to be exact.

Discrimination means choosing between "this and that". However, in the realm of politics and social contexts, discrimination has come to be seen as "unfair prejudice against groups". Historically racial and gender discrimination have created significant social, political, and economic problems for people of color and women.

Currently Republicans/conservatives have (as they like to do) claimed to be "discriminated against" because of their political views.

My answer to that is... YES, YES YOU ARE! SO.....?

Not all discrimination is bad. Discriminating against a person because of the color of their skin? BAD. Because of their gender? BAD. Because they support a disgusting piece of crap with horrendous policies that have hurt Americans and allies around the world? NOT BAD. That is a social consequence for your ACTIONS Alan, not based on traits that you cannot control.

[calimary]

88. Yep. It's ALL about The MESSAGING.

Messaging.

Sad and pathetic, these times, when it’s more important HOW you sell it rather than WHAT you’re selling. And unfortunately our Dems do NOT get this. They feel a need to go deep. That’s not necessary.

Shallow is it. Surface treatment. Nobody’s interested in nuance. It’s what smacks ‘em across the face that’s important. No thought or discernment needed. Just the visceral immediate grab. Sorry situation but true.

If you can make it sound good, and repeat that message ENDLESSLY, you can sell a shit pie and these low-information “go with yer gut” jerks will buy it and eat it. The quick hit. The quick kill. Nobody wants to stick around to read below the headline. Nobody wants the details or the long explanation. Nobody gives a damn about the fine print.

A damn shame. But that’s where we are. I wish the Dems could get this.

[Caliman73]

89. I actually wish it was different.

I agree that it is about the framing and what "grabs" a person, but I totally lament that.

We have some folks in our camp who are good at that. President Obama was good and parts of Bernie Sanders' message was captivating. I think that Congresswoman Maxine Waters is a good example however of standing up to Trump and not letting him get the last word in. She is leading the charge on how to deal with people like Dershowitz. Shun them and don't let them enjoy the fruits of the society they are working to destroy by helping Trump.

[calimary]

92. I know! I do, too.

[QC]

24. womp womp

[KayF]

25. he keeps saying this

he's been on Trump's payroll in some unknown form for a while, and his line about losing friends goes back at least 8 months:

26. From my twitter feed

[renate]

84. I love that tweet!

How tone deaf to be crying about how people in Martha’s Vineyard shun him when he *chooses* to defend someone who is actively and gleefully destroying poor people’s lives.

Lie down with vermin, get fleas.

[Gothmog]

86. I have lost a great deal of respect for Prof. Dershowitz

[GulfCoast66]

28. Thoughts and prayers

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. Well gee, Alan. Stop laying with dogs and you won't get fleas.

"Waaaah! People don't like me because I have sided with a racist, asshole, bully!"


What's that expression about chickens, a homecoming and roosting?

[Chickensoup]

30. Dear Alan

Do you know what I like about you.
Absolutely nothing.

[lpbk2713]

31. They are free to choose who their friends are.

And who is not.

Get over it.

[Tatiana]

32. Shaming and shunning sometimes works. Keep it up!

These monsters deserve it.

[Still In Wisconsin]

34. Dear Alan: from one Jew to another-

You are a schmuck, a putz and a big shmegege. Farshtayst?

[Mz Pip]

35. I really don't care

Do U?

[babylonsister]

36. womp womp nt

[Liberal In Texas]

38. If we don't want to socialize with people we find abhorrent

it's discrimination? I don't think so.

[TomSlick]

45. Agreed.

Most of us do not chose to socialize with the abhorrent.

[Gothmog]

39. This makes me smile

[Takket]

41. kids are being stolen and locked in cages....

but SHS missed dinner and the neighbors won't break out the expensive wine and cheese when Dershowitz shows up for the yacht party so.... both sides!

[OliverQ]

43. Now if only we could get Harvard to ditch him.

[MyOwnPeace]

67. Actually,

I like that Harvard still has him there.

It shows that they are open to public discussion, equal opportunity, and provides a focal point for political openness and public discourse.

So, in the interest of "public discourse," - F**K YOU, ALAN!!!!!!!!

[Horse with no Name]

44. Defend fascism at your own peril

Sane folks arent going to tolerate it.

[Martin Eden]

46. Alan Dershowitz acquired this shunning the old-fashioned way ...

... he EARNED it.

[muntrv]

47. Thoughts and prayers, Alan.

[qazplm135]

48. good!

act a fool, get treated like a fool.

[zerobytes]

49. He just a shit looking for attention

[ouija]

57. Ha

He is so intelligent he has no idea what discrimination means, you sir, are being shunned.

[kwassa]

63. and this is part of his own narcissism.

Like Trump, he can never get enough, and is therefore a victim.

[DeminPennswoods]

53. Actions have consequences

nt

[struggle4progress]

54. Shizz! I just noticed I'm not invited to any July Fourth picnics at the Vineyard either!

I'm quite sure it's because I once said something about Trump that someone somewhere didn't like! Fox News hasn't called back yet to cover this story, but they will!

[onecaliberal]

55. Does he need cheese to go with his whine?

[appleannie1943]

56. You should learn something about how to act in public. When no one wants to be around you

it usually means you are the problem.

[AZ8theist]

58. WOMP WOMP!!!!!!!

Go FUCK YOURSELF, Dotard boot licker.

[MBS]

59. Excellent news. n/t

[Firestorm49]

60. Well, Mr. Dershowitz, I guess it's time to wake up.

[dchill]

61. Snowflakes don't last long. Especially in this heat.

[workinclasszero]

62. Any decent person would shun a dirty asshole like

Dershowitz.

He is enabling a fascist pig that kidnaps babies from their mothers and locks them up in fucking cages!!!

And that’s just one of the many horrors of Herr Shitlers regime.

I’ll send thoughts and prayers Dershowitz, you sick POS!!!

Oh and FUCK CIVILITY!!!!

[mackdaddy]

64. I am sure his buddy Jeffery Epstein still loves him.

Dershowitz certainly got him a sweetheart deal on the underage trafficking charges.

Just remember that Allen Dershowitz did NOT have sex with that under age girl on the Lolita express!

69. Hey, Dersh...

[pnwmom]

70. IOW, you've lost some friends because of your poor choices. Too bad. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

72. Hey Al!

Displaying discriminating taste and discrimination are not the same thing.

[Orsino]

73. I think the term used among his old set is "freedom of association." n/t

[LanternWaste]

74. He was judged by the content of his character.

And found wanting.

We shall know them by fruits.

Hey Dershy, ya gotta earn respect. You pissed away all your earnings when you went anti-American and pro-KGOP republican corruption and treason.

80. LOL

[The Polack MSgt]

81. so sorry Al. SAD!

"The horror of being treated as someone slightly less important than a ruling potentate by other multimillionaires - on the richest and whitest place in America - is an unbearable agony." Alan Dershowitz's inner monologue

Seriously?

Fuck this bag of rags.

You can build bridges, treat the sick, and save puppies - it doesn't matter... Fuck one pig and you're a pigfucker forever, and I hate to remind ya Al, Trump ain't your first porker

[matt819]

82. It's not discrimination if people just don't like you (nt)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

83. You poor baby Alan

Kids are being separated from their parents and you're being shunned at Martha's Vineyard.

[backscatter712]

85. Yep, I'm bigoted against assholes.

Of course, assholes are not a protected class under the Civil Rights Act.

[oasis]

87. An average asshole eventually works his/her way down to pariah.

It's a process. Ask Susan Sarandon.

[smirkymonkey]

90. Isn't this the same guy who brought a stack of his own books to someone's

wedding? Not sure if he was selling them or giving them away. I couldn't find a link, but I recall reading that somewhere.

No wonder he is persona non grata.

[Gothmog]

91. Crowds gather in Boston to protest Alan Dershowtiz's treatment on Martha's Vineyard
