What walt and mearsheimer didn't say

“The problem,” he said “is when you raise the charges of censorship or intolerance you are accused of Islamaphobia.”

Somehow the book burnings in England (where they were unafraid to publish Walt and Mearsheimer's paper) escaped the notice of Walt and Mearsheimer and didn't prompt a statement like the one above.

According to this supporter, the Israel Lobby is 18 on Amazon today. So exactly how are they being silenced? And yet they're distressed.

“The problem,” he said “is when you raise the subject of dual loyalty, many people tend to think of it in the context of the old anti-Semitic canard and making the argument that Jews are disloyal to the U.S.”

And would Walt and Mearsheimer raise the issue of dual loyalty regarding Michael Tarazi or CAIR? One sort of doubts it, doesn't one?

The fact that Mearsheimer and Walt appeared a year ago at an event sponsored by CAIR seems to indicate that they are particular about the kind of pressure and influence that they oppose.

Didn't they appear at YearlyKos a few weeks ago too?
