A-a-a-a-and...Assange is done.

LONDON — The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange suggested in comments published Tuesday that British journalists, including the editor of The Guardian newspaper, were engaged in a “Jewish” conspiracy to smear his organization.

His remarks appeared in the magazine Private Eye, in an article by its editor, Ian Hislop, that outlined a rambling phone call Mr. Assange made on Feb. 16 to complain about coverage of WikiLeaks.

The object of his ire was a Private Eye report last month that one of Mr. Assange’s associates in Russia, Israel Shamir, had denied the Holocaust. Mr. Assange complained that the coverage was part of a campaign by “Jewish” reporters in London to smear WikiLeaks. That conspiracy, he told Mr. Hislop, is led by The Guardian newspaper, naming Alan Rusbridger, its editor, and David Leigh, its investigations editor, and includes John Kampfner, a prominent London journalist who had recently reviewed two books about WikiLeaks for The Sunday Times of London.

Not that this will deter the turds from worshipping St. Julian of the Nonconsential Penetration but it seems clear to more rational types that essentially what we have here based on the misogyny, racist paranoia and attention-seeking is an egomaniac rather than a noble crusader for the truth.

Be sure to grab the DU threads on this. I dare predict the hardcore will give a nudge-nudge to this story, i.e. "Why wouldn't the Zionists want to protect their neocon lackeys from being exposed?"

EDIT: I remind the gentle reader it was when another attention-starve egomaniac named Cindy Sheehan spoke of Jewish conspiracies. It was at that moment that the media dropped her off at the nearest Code Pink rally and drove off never to speak of the relationship as if they were some frat boy who woke up beside the fat chick after a tequila bender.

Assmange was a zit that needed popping and not long from now will prove to be as memorable.

He's actually up for a Nobel Peacenik prize, nominated by a far left Swede libtard socialist lawmaker for his video purported to show journalists and civillians under the guns of U.S. forces in Iraq.
This video has been thoroughly debunked, frame by frame, in fact was featured on Fox news just today. Assmange created a complete work of fiction, taking it all out of context and left a lot on the cutting room floor. The events and subjects depicted were in fact insurgents armed with AK's and RPG's, not civilians or press.
They got what they deserved, lit up like the 4th of July.

Assmange will get his too. :loser:

2. I would give this more credence if it wasn't public knowledge he's the target of a smear campaign.   Updated at 12:45 AM
   
And even if he DOES hate Jews, it doesn't mean the rest of his work is without merit.

4. Assange has officially jumped the shark: Alleged rapist of women AND accused anti-Semite.   Updated at 3:22 AM
   
Not to mention his truly creepy dating profile.

14. Actually, no it's not "confirmed." It's gossip.   Updated at 11:54 PM
   
A bad article from someone who is paraphrasing what Assange supposedly said quite a while after the conversation, badly misrepresenting what anyone can make out of the conversation.

WikiLeaks response:

"Julian Assange said "Hislop has distorted, invented or misremembered almost every significant claim and phrase. In particular, 'Jewish conspiracy' is completely false, in spirit and in word. It is serious and upsetting. Rather than correct a smear, Mr. Hislop has attempted, perhaps not surprisingly, to justify one smear with another in the same direction. That he has a reputation for this, and is famed to have received more libel suits in the UK than any other journalist as a result, does not mean that it is right. WikiLeaks promotes the ideal of "scientific journalism" - where the underlaying evidence of all articles is available to the reader precisely inorder to avoid these type of distortions. We treasure our strong Jewish support and staff, just as we treasure the support from pan-Arab democracy activists and others who share our hope for a just world."

Shitty journalism at the New York Times. Who'd a thunk? They've already altered their original headline. Wasn't good the first time?

I was referring to the original Private Eye article, anyway. The article sounds like gossip. Bad friend mad at you recalling a conversation you had and misrepresenting it, intentionally or not.

43. Assange does not deny making reference to the person in question being Jewish.    Updated at 3:22 AM

So that puts much doubt on your proof-free claim that it's merely "gossip". Thus the original Private Eye article is apparently not "gossip" either.

Assange is an egotistical control freak and a creep whose behavior in and outside the bedroom and dating sites, casts a long shadow. Even his former workmates have made very public complaints about him in British newspapers I've read.

You don't get it, do you? Deliberately?

Gossip can have pieces of truth in it. It's the crap that's not true that's the problem.

I'm not defending Assange's personality. I don't have to.

I get it just fine: you have zero proof that it's "gossip" and Assange is an anti-Semite by virtue of his comments, which he has not denied making:

Are you "deliberately" ignoring this fact?

Did you not get the memo? Antisemitism is so "in" in Europe, so therefore cool in leftist circles here.

I heard that they upped the charges against Assmange.  The charges now carry the possibility of the death penalty, but prosecutors have said they won't seek the DP.
