“Anti-semitic”

You know those kooky conspiracy theories Weasel Clark used to peddle before he imploded? His supporters seem to be even kookier. One of them thinks I’m anti-semitic because I used the phrase “Weasel Clark.” Here’s the brilliant explanation of why that’s anti-semitic:

“The references to Clark as ‘weasel’ Clark are very interesting. Are they subliminally freudian slips of the tongue; or just the obvious play on words(names)? Let me clarify: during the rise of the Nazi party, the surfacing anti-semitic propaganda’s use of ‘weasel’ in reference to Jews was wide-spread (second to the reference of rats). Did you know that Clark was half Jewish?”

The person who wrote that complains that his charge “remained unpublished” on this site. I wish he’d brought it to my attention when he wrote it. I would never have passed up something that funny.

UPDATE: Reader Marissa points out that talk-radio host Michael Medved, who is Jewish, always says “Weaselly Clark.” I guess he really hates himself.
