...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

All the news that makes things fit: A National Post editorial expounds on the subject of the street corner Der Sturmer, the rag flogged by homeless Torontonians. The paper has been purveying calumnies, canards and conspiracy theories about "da Jews" for nigh on a decade:

…On principle we are in favour of his right to publish nonsense, and to have a proper hearing in a courtroom when his copy crosses the line and incites violence, as the paper apologized for doing when columnist Henry Makow called for the deaths of "Jew bankers." But the Street News seems to have a problem with plagiarism, and it appears to be backtracking on its apology for the outbursts, claiming in the latest issue under the headline "Zionists controlling the media" that it was "no longer permitted" to run Makow's column because the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Toronto Police Service are "controlled by people with alien loyalties." So where does Fletcher really stand on the issue of lynching "Jew bankers"?...

I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t oppose it, were the issue ever to arise in public. My question for the “columnist”: where does he stand on sharia financing--one of the genuine overt "conspiracies" aimed as gaining traction for Islamic law in the West?

Also, it never seems to occur to these loopy conspiracy types to ponder this glaring contradiction: if “Zionists” with "alien loyalties" truly controlled the media, then why do they consistently get such bad press?
