I posted earlier on the increasingly paranoid and anti-Semitic writings of Andrew Sullivan, and now his colleague at the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, has keyed in on the same disturbing post. Goldberg is obviously troubled by the not-so-subtle insinuations Sullivan continues to make about AIPAC and neocons and supporters of Israel, but he doesn’t seem eager to probe too deeply. Goldberg also gets a response from Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt to Sullivan’s charge that he is controlled by the “neocons.” Hiatt says, “It is so incoherent, it’s hard to know how to comment.” But comment he does, and you’ll be shocked to learn that AIPAC wasn’t at the center of a Zionist conspiracy to muzzle Dan Froomkin. Update: Karl reminds twitterers of another Goldberg statement on Sullivan’s recent evolution: “I wish Andrew would go back to bashing the Jew-baiters, rather than reveling in their smears.”
