Kass Fights Back

John Kass writes for the Chicago Tribune, and a quick search shows I’ve referenced his writings 7-8 times here at COTTonLINE. Now he’s under attack for correctly pointing out the efforts of George Soros to help elect soft-on-crime prosecutors in major cities. 

Kass’ critics have accused him of anti-Semitism as Soros had Jewish parents. This accusation is a crock of crap. Are those critical of Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein or Bernie Madoff anti-Semitic? 

Does two thousand years of very real anti-Semitism mean one cannot accuse a Jewish person of wrong-doing, when the accusation is accurate? Of course it doesn't.

The truth: those critical of Kass dislike his politics, which can be conservative. As fellow Tribune employees, they’d like his conservative voice to “go away” or be silenced. One sincerely hopes the Tribune will show the backbone the Wall Street Journal did and tell the whiners to stuff it.
