I think Alan Dershowitz is a flaming douche bag.

[Atman]

He's been making the rounds this morning, calling Columbia "anti-American" and declaring that "civil liberties are stronger than ever" in the United States. I've never thought much about Dershowitz before, but this little performance this morning cemented his image in my mind as being one of those "Israel before America" Americans. One of the guys the author on Bill Maher's show Friday was derided for warning about, as the remarks went right over Maher's head.

Dershowitz thinks civil liberties are "stronger than ever" in the US, while he demands an elected leader should not be allowed to speak before a group of people who invited him? I have absolutely no love for the Iranian President, but has everyone forgotten Cheney's demand that we ratchet up the war talk against Iran after September 10th? And what's been happening? He's the lead story and front page headline on every newscast and paper. The propaganda is being thrown right in our freakin' faces, and Dershowitz is carrying heavy water for BushCo. He should be the next guest on Maher's show, and he and Bill can discuss how much they dig having their phones tapped and their mail read. I got yer "strong civil liberties" right here, gentlemen. Wake the hell up and help America PREVENT more war, not instigate it.
