They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, so as a struggling freelancer I guess I should be delighted to discover an entire blog entry from a stranger dedicated solely to his interpretation of my personality. Beggars can't be choosers and all that, but couldn't the author have at least considered challenging a few of his own utterly unfounded assumptions before attempting to commit the subtle art of character assassination? A certain Mister Geiger has described me on his blog, As You Read This: Supporting America, Israel, Human Rights, Liberty and Freedom, Faith in G_d / Emuna,” as “a polemicist for Salon.” (All I can say to that is, If I'm a polemicist for Salon, then where's my paycheck?!). He goes on to say that I “viciously and intentionally support policies that will lead to the genocide of the Jews in Israel and maybe everywhere.” (By occasionally reporting on news from the Middle East?) A true clairvoyant, he adds that “people like Mandelbaum are seriousl [sic] mentally ill,” and muses that because I don't “believe in G_d […] I'm not sure what she would swear on, maybe Osama Bin Laden or Che Guevara.” He concludes that other Salon readers and I, regular readers of “dreck,” “are clearly the core consitutency [sic] of the Obama electorate, sad to say.”
Nobody likes the truth
I'll let that last claim stand, for whatever that's worth. I'll also pass over his insinuations of “genocide,” for where would I ever begin? But if Mister Geiger had bothered to look at my blog, and many of the reader responses I have received over the years (I only delete spam), he would see that my interests are varied and my articles, when they do not affect Israel but instead basic human rights and the status of women overseas, regularly attract charges of “neocon,” “warmonger,” “Zionist,” “Jewish princess” etc., although from my own less-than-clairvoyant vantage point I cannot recall having made any statements of the kind. But truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, at least in the blogosphere. So keep it coming, Mister Geiger, I adore the free publicity, but please get hold of a spell check!

The Sad and Despicable Judy Mandelbaum
Salon is a virulently anti-American website but it saves a large part of its hatred for the Jews and Israel. If you actually try to read anything on politics on the site, the low brow lack of intellectual depth is obvious, but they have a truly remarkable capability to actually ignore even basic facts if those facts don't fit their Jew hating and America hating agenda. It is distressing that racist propaganda like Salon has actual people that read it and believe the dreck it shovels out. Those are clearly the core constituency of the Obama electorate, sad to say.

Rated for sharing it with us.
Israel's right wing is in trouble, as well it deserves to be, and it is driving the bats out of the bellfree.
Because I do not like people who pretend to be Jews, but are actually of the devil does not mean I dislike the Jews who are God's chosen. Although there is some disagreement on this, I tend to believe that many Jews are of Khazar origin. A much smaller minority are the chosen people.
It looks like Geiger is a Khazar shill for the bad Jews. Good Jews do not use white phosphorous on children or run over young women using large bulldoziers.
Whatever Salon is it certainly is not anti-American. It is, however, anti-political BS from either party and that tends to piss off the elitists who are jonesing for one world government.
I just want to say something from my perception about you.
I have cemented you within my few favourites, because you write fearlessly, with courage and conviction.
I hope that you remain a freelance writer and hope too that editors pick up your true value and reward you well.
Please continue to share your talents with us and do not be discouraged by people that seek headlines writing rubbish.
Warm Regards

I'm looking at your long list of posts to my left, which speaks volumes and no small amount of truth. Unfortunately for many, the truth hurts and Geiger clings to his beliefs like denial, no doubt the world remains, flat not round for him.
If this is the best they can do you should take it as a compliment; any rational person will see right through this.
Thanks. There's been a lot of hatred over the years, although I try to ignore it. What really irritates me, though, is that when you google my name, this guy's blog comes up at first place!!!
However I now know you havbe another page and will check it out more later. You should link to it here.
