Subversive Newspaper Columnist
Posted on | June 29, 2010 | 37 Comments
No, not Paul Krugman or Dave Weigel. I’m talking about Vicky Pelaez, a columnist for the Spanish-language El Diario for more than 20 years, who was among the suspected Russian agents rounded up by the FBI yesterday. Patrick Ishmael at Hot Air Green Room:
Dig around the Internet and you’ll find a few choice nuggets written by Ms. Pelaez, mostly in Spanish. US prisons as modern-day slavery? Check. Arizona’s “unholy” immigration law as modern-day Nazi legislation? Check. The United States as wanton human rights violator? Check. . . .
UPDATE: Speaking of Dave Weigel — and, yeah, I know our readers are thoroughly sick of hearing about him — he just scored a regular gig at MSNBC (where he appeared Monday night to discuss Rick Barber’s latest ad). Daniel Foster of National Review has a long interview with Weigel, the most important part of which is this:
I was an a**hole, basically.
Basically. And I’m an a**hole sometimes, too. Which may explain why I’m more tolerant of Weigel than those of you who are not a**holes.

The educational system in America is designed by whites to miseducate blacks not by benign neglect but by malignant intent.
Ethiopian Jews are despised by white Jews.
Unfortunately, I got in trouble with a fella for saying this.
