Lisa Vincent Responds to Juan Cole
It's always gratifying watching someone who deserves it get the ripping they deserve. Go to
Murdoc Online to see Juan Cole's ignorant post on the murder of Steven Vincent, followed by the response to that post by Mr. Vincent's widow, Lisa Ramaci-Vincent. She lets him know what a total dope he is. Not that he'll take note, or admit that he was totally off-base. After all, he is the darling of Newsweek.

Martin Kramer Digs up Dirt for and Gets Under the Skin of Juan Cole
Newsweek's favorite Middle East "expert",
Juan Cole is apparently upset at his ineptitude in his chosen field being exposed so readily and so easily by
Martin Kramer, who really is an expert on the Middle East. Juan Cole had the temerity to request that members of
The Daily Kos try to dig up dirt on Martin Kramer. He also changed some of his more egregious gaffes on the sly without admitting to them as Kramer points out
here,
here, and wow,
especially here. And then there is
this post and
this post, which expose Juan Cole's lack of both expertise and insight. If you want even more, just follow the link at the bottom of that post.
Professor Kramer's
clever, honest, and fearless response to Juan Cole's foolish and cowardly attempt at character assassination should serve as a badly needed lesson to Juan Cole and his ignorant, misguided admirers. Not that they would take that lesson. Are Juan Cole's fans al-Cole-holics? Like an alchoholic, they don't see themselves as needing any help with their twisted world-view.

A Fisking of Juan Cole
Over at
Martin Kramer's
weblog, and at
Across the Bay Newsweek's
favorite Middle East "expert", Juan Cole's recollection of his own past statements is examined and handed back to him. Professor Cole had better stick to keeping track of the body count in Iraq.

Bias at Newsweek?
According to Newsweek's recently added Blog Watch feature,
Iraq continues to bedevil Coalition forces and the new Iraqi government. University of Michigan history professor Juan Cole offers a sober perspective at juancole.com
. Thinking that Newsweek wouldn't lie to a long time subscriber like me, (even though they have maliciously dumped on
Daniel Pipes in the past, and heaped unwarranted praise on The Daily Kos) I sauntered over for a look.
If you're looking for a gleeful recounting of the latest suicide bombings, defeatism, and the wish for terrorist victories, this is your blog. For actual sober perspective
Democracy in Iraq,
Healing Iraq,
Iraq at a Glance, or some of the other Iraqi bloggers might better serve your interests. You can also check out the latest by
Jack Kelly in today's
Jewish World Review. Mr. Kelly's perspective makes a lot more sense than that of Mr. Juan-Body Count-Cole.
