Here we go again.

I am beginning to think that someone has an axe to grind. Or papers to sell.

And there is the SPLC, which takes hyperbole to a whole new level.

From his FB page:

Anti-Semitism is the latest accusation that has been hurled at me. And now it is coming from an organization that is connected in Federal court to DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

In an article posted Friday by the ultra-left and anti-American Southern Poverty Law Center, they pretended that I was caught on a hot mic criticizing Jews.

Well, given that my children are Jews, that is somewhat improbable.

And given the record I have of giving untold numbers of talks pleading with Americans to support Israel, it actually becomes laughable. Except for one thing, and that is the source.

This group was connected in Federal court on the 6th of Feb, 2013 to domestic terrorism when Floyd Lee Corkins plead guilty to that charge. Corkins was the LGBT activist who came in the office of the Family Research Council and shot the building manager, Mr Leo Johnson. He told the judge that he targeted us because we were listed as a hate group on the website of the SPLC. So SPLC prompted this egregious act by recklessly listing FRC and other Christian groups as hate groups with no standards or explicable criteria for being a hate group.

Oh and by the way, check out the meeting they had with the Muslim Public Affairs committee, a grossly anti-Semitic group that denies that Israel has the right to exist. That seems pretty anti-Semitic to me. But they never let the truth get in the way of their radical agenda.

The truth is that I was asked to do an interview with an Israeli news service and I joked with the reporter that Jews were the source off all problems worldwide, which was satirical because so many countries and people blame the Jews for everything. The reporter laughed since he knew the intent was to reflect the silliness of this reasoning by so many anti-Semites. He responded that he knew what I meant and that he was trying to fix it.

I gave him an interview in which I stressed the importance of America standing with Israel and the danger in underestimating Iran. In fact, why don’t you take a look at the article and the accompanying video: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/178380#.Ux9cbeddXuY

Now, and correct me if I am wrong here, but if I had made any anti-Semitic remarks, don’t you think that would have made it somewhere in to the article? Specifically an article by a JEWISH News Organization? I’m talking to an Israeli news group and they make no mention of anti-Semitism. Yet I am criticized as being anti-Semitic by an organization who meets with the Muslim Public Affairs committee.

By the way, what was the topic of discussion in the article? The dangers of a nuclear Iran. Hmmm...

Anyone else catch that? That's the sound of irony. Or hypocrisy. Take your pick.

I love the nation of Israel and the Jewish people; Especially since my children are Jews according to Jewish law. Oh yea, and I have not met with Anti-semitic groups as some organizations have so you be the judge as to the truth here. But I think common sense reveals very quickly what’s going on.

I'm not hyper-religious, however, I am a Christian and believe in the word of God. I don't try to convert people or "shove my message down their throats" as many of us are accused. I will stand behind Gen Boykin in thought and deed. I believe in his message, though not to his height.

I am proud that he is readying this nation for a battle for men's souls... I will stand ready for the battle of man's ideologies. I'm afraid that will come before our "come to Jesus moment"

Pray it doesn't.

Discredit is always the first phase in disinformation.

Anyone who serves in defense of our nation has my respect. I don't know the general, I read his book , my impression was he is a man of character. This is reinforced by the opinions of folks here who have served under him in harms way and would do it again. That is the ultimate endorsement.

The general calls it like he sees it, though even if you agree with his politics at times he says things that make me wonder. For example, While I agree we should keep Iran from the bomb, I'm not sure if Jesus showed up tomorrow he would be carrying an AR-15.

I think the media has tagged him a spark plug, but my $.02 it's more a function that as a nation the demographics have moved away from strong religious views, and it seems organized religion in general. This definitely seems to be the case on the coasts where I have lived.
