Michael Pugliese, This guilt by association shtick gets very tiresome. Now your googling drags in Justin Raimondo:

I read the article cited, and there is absolutely nothing racist or anti-semitic about it, nor in anything I've ever read by Justin. On the contrary, it is a brilliant denunciation of the smearers Andrew Sullivan and the NYSun. The only wrong thing about it was that (in October 2002) it lent a limited degree of credence to the WMD fantasy.

That Zionist smear propaganda is creating an awful lot of anti-anti-antisemites. And a lot of sympathy for the paleoconservatives and right-libertarians.
