JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: LABOUR MP DIANNE ABBOTT SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE SHAM ANTI-SEMITISM ATTACKS AGAINST LABOUR - DAVID CAMERON'S CHARACTER - PURE MCCARTHYISM - I'M SORRY THAT CORBYN HAS BUCKLED: HE WAS ALWAYS THE TARGET - NOTE ON A PAST EXTREME STATEMENT OF ABBOTT


COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN IN THE INDEPENDENT


Thank you, Diane Abbott.

You only say what's understood by all clear-thinking people.

This anti-Semitism witch hunt has been lowest form of political attack in modern history.

Indeed, it demonstrates vividly a really low-life aspect of David Cameron's character.

The people doing this dirty work smile with self-satisfaction while they do the very thing they accuse others of, unacceptable name-calling.

God, they even roped in the leader of Israel's Labour Party to add his twisted words.

McCarthyism, pure and simple.

Pure hate.

I have admired Jeremy Corbyn on many matters, but I much regret that this otherwise honorable man has buckled to this ugly pressure. I am disappointed.

So the political low-lives have at least in part succeeded.

He was always the target.

You have a point, but in the real world, sometimes people who are otherwise wrong can be right.

Trump is a good example. Wrong on lots of issues. Dead right on a few very important ones.
