SPLC Trumpets: “Academic Paper Rebuts Cal State Professor’s Anti-Semitic ‘Scholarship’”

Posted by James Bowery on Saturday, 22 September 2007 20:13.

The SPLC, which has been trying to get Kevin MacDonald’s academic tenure revoked, with some minor victories, is now trumpeting a paper by David Isadore Lieberman titled “Jews Will Be Jews: A Scientific Racialism for the 21st Century” as “Academic Paper Rebuts Cal State Professor’s Anti-Semitic ‘Scholarship’”.

I started reading the paper despite the fact that it was being trumpeted by a disreputable source—hoping to find some real scholarly criticism of MacDonald’s scholarship.  Here is a representative passage:

So there is little common ground between MacDonald?s warm embrace of authoritarian values and Altemeyer?s urgent warnings against them. In the end, of course, these are really matters of data interpretation; MacDonald can certainly make use of Altemeyer?s statistical findings concerning authoritarian personalities without finding them the cause for alarm Altemeyer himself does. The problem, however, is that MacDonald?s transparent desire to render tendencies toward authoritarianism among members of his own ethnicity palatable requires him to do some fancy rhetorical dancing around Altemeyer?s terms as well as his data. Ultimately, this will lead us to the real issue of interest here: yet another example of MacDonald suppressing information that does not conform to his theory.

I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but much of it seems to boil down to such arguments:

“Those who MacDonald cites on particulars would object to his use of their data for his thesis.”

In the above too-typical paragraph, Lieberman goes so far as to admit that this isn’t really a valid criticism of MacDonald’s scholarship but then turns right around and calls MacDonald’s omissions of, what Lieberman admits are, irrelevancies as “suppressing information that does not conform to his theory”.

It is hard to get motivated to read such a paper.  If someone grinds their way through the lefty-blogger type rheotoric to find some nuggets of real scholarship within Lieberman’s paper, let me know.

Here’s Heidi’s take on being told, essentially, that her hatreds are genetically determined and she just can’t help it.

Based on the excerpt James posted it sounds as if Prof. Lieberman is merely recycling long-discredited, worthless Frankfurt-School Jewish make-believe academic “scholarship” whose rightful place is on the trash heap.

I refer of course to the Adorno & Co. “authoritarian personality” tripe.

Yes, Fred, the victim of ethnic aggression is required to believe that his protestations reveal a personality flaw.  Delightful.

Authoritarian values… you mean like trying to suppress points of view you disagree with through frivilous lawsuits and employment based harassment? Isn’t that what the SPLC excels at?

More news to cheer Heidi up - Senator Richard Durbin, co-religionist of Hebrew Heidi, wants a bill passed which will give citizenship to illegal immigrants. I bet the Senator wouldnt support such madness if alien Whites’ disregard for US laws and territorial integrity caused them to fetch up in the US.

Indeed, but you don’t need to.  That’s what KMac’s salary is for.  If the past is any guide two things are true:

1) Lieberman’s criticism is hot air, not hard data.
2) MacDonald will make 1 plain.

Authoritarian values

Never fails to give me a dark chuckle, when jews point fingers at anyone for their authoritarian personalities.  No one forms a rigid, hierarchical, messianic cult like jews.

I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but much of it seems to boil down to such arguments:

“Those who MacDonald cites on particulars would object to his use of their data for his thesis.”

Yes.  Lieberman’s primary claim has always been that MacDonald misrepresented the contents of Jaff Schatz’s “The Generation: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Communists of Poland”.

Perhaps you recall the h-net antisemitism mailing list in which MacDonald and a bunch of Jewish ethnic cheerleaders participated.  One day, Schatz showed up and argued that the data in his book weren’t true in any objective sense.  They were true only to the extent they were used to build an argument whose conclusion he liked.  Lieberman’s account is here:

http://www.h-net.org/~antis/papers/dl/macdonald_schatz_02.html

The fundamental flaw in Lieberman’s “critique” is that everything he questions is, in legal evidentiary terms, cumulative.  They’re all empirical examples—like the behavior of Jewish Communists in Poland—of truths that can be established on purely theoretical grounds. 

As long as there is a genetic difference between Jews and their gentile hosts, and as long as Jews are not walled off like mitochondria and vertically transmitted like mitochondria notwithstanding that genetic difference, they are not “us” and do not belong among us.

Of course, the empirical examples recounted by MacDonald are too numerous for Lieberman to attempt to disprove all of them.  And after one has read MacDonald, of course, one can see the empirical confirmation of the theoretical truth confirmed in plain view in real time.

There is only one way to attempt to disprove the implications of MacDonald’s work (as opposed to his thesis, which is somewhat different):  attempt to disprove the findings of Jewish researchers like Kobyliansky, Bonne-Tamir, and Hammer, who have consistently found genetic differences between Jews and their gentile hosts.

Is Durbin Jewish? I thought he was an ethnically European Catholic. He has an Irish-American father and a Lithuanian mother (Litvak?) and attended Catholic schools. Either way he’s one of the worst senators on immigration.

“Those who MacDonald cites on particulars would object to his use of their data for his thesis.” -James Bowery

because they’re jews. Neil Gabler can write a book about how jews created and still run Hollywood but if a non jew had written the same book but with a negative preface explaining why this is a bad thing that book would have been on the ADL’s black list. Jews are by default ethnocentric utilitarians - “is it good for the jews?”.

One day, Schatz showed up and argued that the data in his book weren’t true in any objective sense.  They were true only to the extent they were used to build an argument whose conclusion he liked. -ben tillman

this is what I wrote on another MR page:

Schatz did what all jews do when they uncover facts that others use to ascribe something negative to jews: they shoot at the Bad messenger. The truth doesn’t matter, what matters is the gentiles’ perception and the possible negative effects on jews. For example when Earl Raab says jews have been pushing for non-white immigration in the US, it’s OK because he’s proud of that and he wrote that in a jewish paper, Stephen Steinlight said the same and it was still OK because he came up with an excuse for it but when Kevin MacDonald or another white man says the same thing but opposes the jewish agenda, well it’s antisemitism, it’s hate speech, it’s a dishonest research.

Same facts, different judgement. Typical jewish behavior.

How do Jews do it?  Let me count the ways.  (Sincerest apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning fans for what you are about to read.)

I do wonder if we sometimes overplay our hand:

Clearly protecting Jewish status is the supreme function of western statesmanship, but must the goyim have this always rammed down their throats? Some of the virulent anti-semites among them even object openly .... it could get bloody if they start to think of themselves as human.

Incidentally, that was a very good article posted by “Semitic-scholar” just above my last comment.  Everyone should read it for a glimpse of the level on which the Simon Wiesenthal Center operates.

Behind-the-scenes Jewish pressure on his university is having the effect of tightening the screws on Prof. Kevin MacDonald.  Jews, remember, not being Europeans racially but a Euro-Asiatic mix, don’t believe in the principle of free speech:  Asiatics don’t have the gene for it; don’t know what it is; laugh at it; think it’s some sort of political tactic of the weak who aren’t in a position to simply crush.  Of course, it goes without saying the Jews never omit to take advantage of “the principle of free speech” when they’re too weak to crush.  Does that mean they believe in the principle?  No. they’re simply biding their time.  Until they can crush.  Are non-Jews going to get a fair deal under Jewish hegemony?  Three guesses.  What’s the best race of people in the world to live under, the fairest, most decent, most generous, most willing to accord you due process and so on, if you’re not a member of that race?  The Anglo-Saxons hands-down.  How do the Jews rank in that regard?  Near the bottom of the scale.  Was the U.S. better off under the old Anglo-Saxon hegemony that ruled from the Constitution till the 1960s?  Whadda you think?  What’s been the effect of the transition which took place in the 1960s from the old Anglo-Saxon hegemony to the new Jewish hegemony?  The effect has been the transformation, under the Jews, of what was something approaching paradise on earth to an unlivable hell-hole and getting worse by the second. 

Thank you, Jewish hegemony!  Thank you very much and thank you, brain-dead and comatose Anglo-Saxons for letting it happen!

Jews were not meant to rule with the exception of Israel (and one glance at the kind of shape Israel’s in leaves doubts even as to that).  They don’t know how to rule.  The first thing Jews do, if they can, is make sure there are plenty of Negroes around.  Jews can’t stand a place that doesn’t have tons and tons and tons of Negroes.  Jews come to a place and look around looking for Negroes, and if there aren’t lots of them the Jews start agitating to import them in vast numbers, “no upper limit” as Jewish puppet David Blunket put it.  Once they have plenty of Negroes in the place the second thing they do is try to get white women to marry, sleep with, procreate with, go out with, worship, all of the above, Negro men or lacking Negroes, Mexicans, Arabs, or, if nothing else is available, Oriental men.  Those are the two first things Jews do anywhere they have any power or influence.  And it goes downhill from there — downhill in a handbasket, all the way to the place things in a handbasket usually go (or, according to the expression anyway).  So, that’s Jews.  Sorry, you can have it.  I don’t want it.  Tried it, been there, done that, now you can take it back, I don’t want it, wouldn’t touch Jewish hegemony with a ten-foot pole. 

Now, whom do I see about getting the old Anglo-Saxon hegemony back?

Highly recommended.

(The late Tom Lantos, a Jewish refugee to the U.S.K. from Hungary and a traitor to his adopted country, was cut from the same Eurochristian-hating Ashkenazi cloth as Abe Foxman.)
