As this has gone waaaay off topic this will be my last post on this subject.
In the past, I've complained about right-wing conspiracy theories. This is
the left-wing version. It is so "out there" liberals such as Dershowitz have
disavowed this. So, who are the friends of this? The PLO and the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt are passing out copies. David Duke cites this as
"vindication". Harvard removed their logo from it. Maybe left-wing critiques
are not good enough. I'll give a right-wing one. Paul Johnson of Powerline
