The Swiller Wakes

The Uncle, who is as lazy as it gets, is happy to announce that Swiller has sent us a missive to go on the mainpage. Yay, something to print here without working up a sweat.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BLOGGER WHO CALLS HIMSELF SOCAWATCH

You trumpet yourself as some sort of community organization, with position papers and all. But, in reality, you are merely an anonymous blogger, as disengaged as Uncle Betty. At least he (or she, or, most likely, they) is/are both pretty funny and quite well informed. You are neither.

As someone who worked hard for two years, building the recognition of the name SOCA, first in the Southern Orange County Alliance, then, when that was paralyzed by my former partner, Joe Ferguson, those of us who were active in that group formed SOCA At Work. Legally, you can use any name you want. But, your use of the name SOCA is a great deal less ethical than you parade around proclaiming yourself to be. Good people worked hard to build up a name that you traduce from the shadows. That’s wrong and it is cowardly.

You repeatedly treat specific condemnations of Gedalye Szegedin as attacks on the people of KJ as a whole. There are enough of those to deal with that to invent more merely weakens your arguments and gives cover to someone who deserves exposure. Szegedin, largely through his hired flak Ari Felberman, are actively exploiting anti-Semitism for their political ends, and I believe they are, in fact, willing to fan that hatred for those ends. If so, it is one of the worst things that a Jew can do.

In the Monroe election, Felberman and others in the KJ ruling hierarchy, committed fraud in order to influence the outcome of the election. To defend them is to defend their behaviour. And "them" - according to the rules of grammar and logic - refers to the preceding identified group - "Felberman and others the KJ ruling hierarchy." I mention this because you seem to wallow in victimhood, greedily seeking new examples of bias, whether they are there or not. This is not only counterproductive it is neurotic, and, at bottom, totally sterile.

Yes, point out anti-Semitism. Loudly. But do it under your own name, openly and with the facts behind you. If, in the end, by your standards, every Christian is shown to be a bigot, you will have accomplished nothing. If, on the other hand, by using hardcore, irrefutable proof, you are able to convince non-Jews that there is a problem that must be addressed, you will have done something worthwhile. It is a lot more difficult. Perhaps it is beyond your abilities.
