I just read all of Zimmy's posts in this thread and couldn't find any
statement which could be construed to mean that the only reason Perle
and Wolfie get attention/are known to people is because they are Jews.
That's because it was Gautam who made that outrageous claim:
Without going into the history of that particular word, the most
important neocon in the Administration (was) Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense. The only reason anyone has heard of him is
because
he is Jewish.
I asked how it was that he knew this, and his argument went something
like
this:
-- He was Deputy Secretary of Defense.
-- He is Jewish.
-- Gautam couldn't think of another "DepSec" who was as well-known.
Therefore:
-- The only reason anyone has heard of him is because he is Jewish.
