Dorothy Rabinowitz's WSJ Propoganda

.
.
There's a nasty media spat in the US between Dorothy Rabinowitz (her name explains her position) and Deepak Chopra where she attacks him personally for his comments on terrorism which are off-target for the neocon meme. Basically a hatchet job to try and close him down before his (very reasonable) message takes root.

Now Richard Dawkins is the guy who aggressively attached religion in his "God Delusion" book. He went on the road and then personally went round and tackled religious leader after religious leader in a documentary until he butted up against Deepak. It was a great interview and Dawkins actually walked away the loser. But he was smiling, I think having enjoyed battling wits with a debater like Deepak.

A guy like Deepak isn't beholden or hostage to the H0locaust meme. The Llkudniks know this and it frightens them... but personally attacking a guy like Chopra in print is like assaulting a tiger with a spoon.
