[quote=Anonymous]This is such a good example of the bothsidesism of the right.

On one side, the side of "dogwhistle to hateful anti-semites and get people killed in Pittsburgh and almost in DC":
- The President
- Multiple billionaire-funded/owned rightwing media outlets with MILLIONS of readers/viewers:
  - Fox
  - Daily Caller
  - Free Beacon
  - Breitbart
- Stephen Miller, senior advisor to the president (I'm aware he's a Jew)

On the other side:
- a novelist and poet who has an audience each day you can count on one hand

But because the rightwing media is good at propaganda, Alice Walker gets talked about non-stop, while Gab and the Daily Stormer and Unite the Right and Richard Spencer and Bannon and Breitbart and Tucker Carlson keep doing their thing.  But the right doesn't talk about that.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of antisemitism on the left too.  Jews face extraordinary problems. [/quote]
Exactly. Just look at the liberal New York Times, and their interview with the antisemitic Alice Walker, who took the opportunity to promote a horribly antisemitic book. And they published it!

Yup, there it is.  False equivalency.

Meanwhile, the whole Republican party:
