Did I suggest that? I referred to the test and then suggested, independently of the test, that the flying j00 pig balloon might signify anti-semitism.

I was wondering who you were referring to when you said "those who are trying to deligitimize Israel."

The people I was referring to are "those who are trying to deligitimize Israel". So, to answer your question, I wasn't referring to anybody specific.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well, I don't want to beat a dead horse but that comment came out of left field.

Traditionally the 3D test is used to distinguish "legitimate criticism" from anti-semitism.

Did it?  It was the prong of the test I had a specific problem with.

And Woodrow Wilson sucks.  He thought Birth of a Nation was a great film, when in fact it is really long.

Hm.  Pretty much agree with Ide here.  That first D seems questionable compared to the other 2, and Wilson sucks.

Big deal, you gave it a C+.

Just a little joke.  I've never seen it.  It really is really long and since I don't anticipate actually finding much if any enjoyment in it, it's on my list, but there are lots of higher priorities.

I look forward to the reviews comparing Mills' and Lohan's versions of The Parent Trap.

I'm also trying to get to 100 movies for 2013.  That is, 100 movies released in 2013.

I'm at 63.  :Embarrass:  But technically I've got till like mid-January since I can't release any best or worst list till I get a chance to see Llewyn Davis and Blue Is the Warmest Color anyway.
