92nd Street Y's Booing Proves Again That Liberals aren't liberal

There's one thing for sure about those Liberal Leftists, they sure aren't liberal. They don't accept other people's rights to express themselves or disagree with their manifestos/ideologies etc.

Poor John Podhoretz  sure got a dose of that Liberal dogma at the 92nd Street Y the other night.  He dared to disagree.

In fact, after a prolonged bout of booing, I responded by suggesting—in a manner that was intended, for what I would have thought were obvious reasons, to be ironic—that the crowd might try hissing too. Which they did. Maybe they didn’t pick up on the irony; Eisner apparently didn’t, given her level of mystification.

Lori Lowenthal Marcus from the Jewish Press also reported it.

What happened was that although all of the panelists said they disapproved of the ASA boycott, J Street’s Ben Ami then began recounting what he said were Israeli policies that led people to believe that a boycott of Israeli institutions was appropriate. PODHORETZ DEFENDS ISRAEL, AUDIENCE EXPLODES, ‘ENRAGED’ “You’re blaming the victim!” Podhoretz exclaimed. To which the 92nd Street Y audience erupted into loud booing. According to the moderator, Eisner, who is much closer to Ben-Ami’s Israel viewpoint than the others – having served as a co-chair of her local New Israel Fund regional council – there was not just scattered booing. She wrote in her blog on the topic that when Podhoretz accused Ben-Ami of blaming the victim, some “members of the audience became enraged.” The audience was so disruptive with what Podhoretz described as a “prolonged bout of booing,” that he turned to the audience and asked with what he thought was obvious irony, “why don’t you also hiss?”

John Podhoretz is no dummy.  He's editor of the very prestigious Commentary Magazine. The members of the audience obviously are intolerant of other opinions. That is not being liberal.

Those who call themselves Liberal are intolerant the opposite of what they claim to be.  And if the audience also claims to be pro-democracy, then they must accept and respect the elections results in Israel.  In a democracy you may not be happy with the results, but you must accept them, as long as elections were fair according to law.
