As Jim W. Dean would put it, you simply cannot make this stuff up. The
Jerusalem Post has recently accused Sean Hannity of being an anti-Semite. Why? Because he tweeted statement using the phrase “Bolshevik Bernie,” referring to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. The Post declares that this was “an age-old antisemitic trope.”[1]
The Post added: “Sanders, who is Jewish, identifies politically as a democratic socialist. Hannity’s tweet, however, compares him to the Bolsheviks, who stood for a Marxist-Leninist ideology.”[2]
The Post declared that “People were quick to conflate Hannity’s tweet with antisemitism,” but the writer of the article never looked into the mirror and tell his audience that it was the Jerusalem post which actually accused Hannity of being an anti-Semite.[3]
