My Left Wing Co-Blogger: I Hate Jews
Correction: NOT Maryscott O'Connor

Correction/Apologies: I'm informed this post was written by her co-blogger, "Miss Mannered," not by Maryscott O'Connor herself. Apologies/correction.

Her site's down because everyone in the world just linked it, but here's a representative quote I got from the Daily Kos via LGF:

I now find myself, for the first time in my life, hating Jews.

...

I find myself thinking that Proximity perhaps has the right idea, that Jews regard other human beings as objects, to be sacrificed to the interests of Jews. That Jews will always stand with other Jews no matter their guilt, and against non-Jews, no matter their innocence. The face of Jews has become unspeakably ugly in my sight, because of the ugliness of the Jewish haters here.

Note she said Jewish haters -- Jews who hate -- not Jew haters, of which she considers herself one.

When you're too anti-semitic for the Daily Kos crowd... dude. Dude.

Funny, she doesn't look crazy or anything:

The Washington Post featured a big, mostly sympathetic* article on this rather obscure blogger a while ago. Think they'll do a follow-up?

Or do they only do positive pieces on obscure leftwing psychotics?

* Note I said mostly sympathetic. When your subject is floridly insane and thinks a good photo consists of her raging at you with "dem crazy-eyes," there's only so much you can do to spin her as an attractive figure.

Full Post: The site's reachable again. Here's the post:

I did not come to this site to fight in the Jew Wars. I came to join with MSOC [Maryscott O'Connor], in her words, to rage against the lying of the right, against injustice and cruelty. Instead, I found injustice, cruelty and hate directed at me.

I left, then, earlier this year, not because I was reluctant to engage in verbal combat with the people who insisted on making themselves my enemies [I also post on PFF, after all], but because I discovered myself descending to their level, from rational discourse to insults and invective.

Several months ago, at the suggestion of MSOC, I returned to this site, resolved that I would never again descend to the moral cesspit occupied by the haters. I would willingly engage in civil and rational discourse with anyone of good will, but if they refused, I would ignore them.

Unfortunately, the same persons whose emnity and hostility were so pervasive before immediately resumed their campaign to discredit me, not only rejecting my overtures of peace, but mocking them.

These hateful persons are Jews. At one point, I would have disregarded this fact, but I no longer can. This site has been nothing but the battleground of the Jew Wars, and it is not possible to escape the toxic fallout.
Some persons here have posted remarks offensive to Jews, remarks that no one would have regarded seriously if not for the Jews, as they stridently identify themselves, calling for banning and lynch mobs and denunciation of the posters whose words have offended them. They have made it very clear that they are willing to destroy this site, to make it a barren no-man's-land where no civil discourse can survive, unless the persons they charge with antisemitism are silenced and driven out.

I know that these Jews will continue to conduct their hate campaigns with impunity as well as self-righteousness, because the people in charge of this site regard them as friends, but they are false, treacherous friends, willing to destroy the site that has befriended them.

And these same persons, these Jews, have not only continued their malicious attacks on me, but others, also Jews, have joined their Hate Squad, solely on the grounds that they are Jews and have been offended by someone, and thus arrogate to themselves the right to hate and insult a person who has done them no harm and no offense.

And the consequence is this: I now find myself, for the first time in my life, hating Jews. I find myself hating the Jews on this site, both the Jews who have conducted their malicious campaign against me for so long and the Jews who have stood by in silent solidarity with them, never saying a word against their vile attacks, their cruelty and ugliness.

I find myself thinking that Proximity perhaps has the right idea, that Jews regard other human beings as objects, to be sacrificed to the interests of Jews. That Jews will always stand with other Jews no matter their guilt, and against non-Jews, no matter their innocence. The face of Jews has become unspeakably ugly in my sight, because of the ugliness of the Jewish haters here.

And this is not a place where I wish to be, a place that breeds such hate, where such thoughts come upon me. The Jews who hate me may have surrendered their souls to the darkness, but I refuse to do the same, to surrender to hate. They are only a few evil-minded, hateful people, and I am leaving this place to them, to conduct their pogroms, to drag it down into the moral cesspit of the Jew Wars.

I only feel sorry for MSOC, betrayed by those she considered her friends, but who are willing to destroy everything she created here, just to spread hate.

So it's not Maryscott O'Connor, but rather a notorious Jew-hater she thought would be a lively voice to feature on her blog.

As Kos notes, "Miss Mannered" was begged to stay by most of the My Left Wing crowd, including a moderator:

See how many people tell the diarist how much they appreciate her input and beg her to stay. BEG THE JEW-HATER TO STAY! A site that calls itself "My Left Wing" begs the Jew-hater to stay, INCLUDING A MODERATOR.

I don't see the post now where it would be expected to be on the front page... but I don't know the site, maybe it's one of those "diarist" things like Kos has. It's listed in a sidebar as having 183 comments but I can't seem to access them.

I don't see any post from Maryscott scolding this venomous anti-semite or booting her from the site.

Sockpuppet? Charles (I assume Johnson) says "Miss Mannered" is a sockpuppet MSOC uses, then says "see the update." But there's no information about that in the update. Perhaps he meant to post it but didn't.

I wrote him about that so maybe he'll dish.
