March 18, 2005 The Character Assassins How the War Party smears its opponents by Justin Raimondo

Every couple of months or so, Stephen Schwartz, aka [url=http://www.washingtondispatch.com/article_10152.shtml]Suleyman Ahmad[/url], aka " [url=http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:gJKKEXTCe6UJ:anarchymag.org/modules.php%3Fop%3Dmodload%26name%3DSections%26file%3Dindex%26req%3Dprintpage%26artid%3D173%2B%22comrade%2Bsandalio%22&hl=en]Comrade Sandalio,[/url]" the [url=http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j120602.html]Trotskyite-cum-Sufi[/url], turns up with a long, vehement screed recycling the [url=http://frontpagemag.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7453]same tired charges[/url] against Antiwar.com and me, albeit worded a bit differently. Of course, David Horowitz's Frontpage is the only venue he can find for this kind of kookery. [url=http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=17310]This time[/url], however, he's managed to cram far more lies into a single piece than ever before: some of them quite mystifying.

Everything Schwartz writes is always [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16832]about him[/url], no matter what the ostensible topic. It's all about who's a "celebrity" and who's not: according to him, I'm "a minor celebrity" (he is presumably a major celebrity). "He poses as a conservative," he writes Ã¢â¬â this from someone who [url=http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-schwartz061103.asp]still defends the "glorious" heritage of Leon Trotsky,[/url] and in the pages of National Review, yet!

He proves he can use [url=http://www.cherrylawnschool.org/directory/class/clstbl70.html]the Internet[/url] by correctly writing that I went to Cherry Lawn School, in Darien, Conn., and incorrectly stating that "he renamed himself Justin" at that point: actually, it was much earlier, but no matter. In any case, Schwartz Ã¢â¬â who has changed his name at least twice Ã¢â¬â avers that my name change at the tender age of 15 makes me "a confused and confusing person." Whatever, dude.

The venom flies thick and fast:

"Raimondo unquestionably encompasses many contradictions. Now past 50, he features a photo of himself on his website with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, in a fey (and failed) pose as an homme fatale. He is flamboyantly gay, but promotes himself as a Buchananite conservative and was in fact Buchanan's San Francisco campaign spokesman during the 'culture war' that other gays took personally, many elections ago. The entire package is deceitful, and it is a calculated deceit."

An homme fatale! Wow! Those are some pretty suggestive words coming from a [url=http://www.theatlantic.com/images/issues/200303u/int2003-03-20pic.jpg]porcine troll[/url], unmarried and apparently fixated on other people's sexuality. Of course, to a Muslim fanatic like Schwartz Ã¢â¬â if we are to take his alleged religious conversion at face value, that is Ã¢â¬â homosexuality is a horrific sin. Every single ranting screed he's written about me has brought up the "gay issue," but of course that's his problem, not mine. And what is this "package" he's talking about? You got me, bud. But one thing I do know: someone who was born a Jew and converted to the Muslim faith, who was once a Trotskyite and is now supposed to be a "conservative" (or a "[url=http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-schwartz061103.asp]Trotskycon[/url]," whatever that is), is not one to be trash-talking other people for "encompassing many contradictions." What's interesting, on the "gay issue," is that Pat Buchanan and the editors of [url=http://www.amconmag.com/]The American Conservative[/url] (of which I am a contributing editor) have never said boo about my homosexuality, while the evil Schwartz seems obsessed with it. If anyone is conducting a "culture war" here, it's the "Sufi" nutball "[url=http://www.naqshbandi.org/events/articles/conversion_schwartz.htm]Suleyman Ahmad[/url]" (or whatever he's calling himself this week.)

Crazy people are totally unselfconscious: they don't realize how nutso they appear to others, and think their behavior is normal, if not exemplary. That's why Schwartz is capable of writing the following, presumably with a straight face:

"[Raimondo] has failed as a journalist and political commentator, exactly as Hitler failed as a painter*, as Mussolini failed as a socialist leader, and as the most notorious fascist of the left, Fidel Castro, failed as a lawyer.

"Like his models, when Raimondo never engages intellectually with opponents, but relies on invective, insults, and innuendo."*

So let's see if I get this straight: Schwartz, who has just called me a faggot, a Hitlerite, a failure Ã¢â¬â not to mention an "homme fatale," which sounds like a cross between [url=http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/02/man-called-jeff.html]Jeff Gannon[/url] and a male Monica Lewinsky Ã¢â¬â is taking me to task for never engaging intellectually with opponents. Schwartz rely on "invective, insults, and innuendo"? Oh, never!

Indeed, there is not a single instance of intellectual argument in his long, tiresomely vindictive piece: just insults, amateur psychologizing, and outright lies. He denies that neocons ever had [url=http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-schwartz061103.asp]anything to do[/url] with Trotskyism, when [url=http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:j_c7tGBDEdQJ:www.antiwar.com/justin/j070502.html%2Bsite:www.antiwar.com%2Bsite:www.antiwar.com%2BSan%2BFrancisco%2BExaminer%2Btrotskyite&hl=en]his own case[/url] [url=http://www.infoshop.org/myep/schwartz.html]underscores[/url] the veracity of the Trotskyite connection. He rants that I'm just "[url=http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=4702]posing[/url] as a war-hater," while defending "murderous dictators like Milosevic, who unleashed the only wars in Europe over the past half century." This is a lie: [url=http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j092200.html]I never defended Milosevic[/url], but opposed the Kosovo war (as did [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=1196]David Horowitz[/url], by the way).

My favorite part, however, is this:

"One of his favorite tricks is the mendacious use of hyperlinks, giving the impression that his statements are backed by other sources. These are usually his own articles, immodestly declared by him to be 'classics,' which in fact have little or nothing to do with his latest ravings, but lead to more lies through more links. This, too, is not original with Raimondo; it is the Chomsky method of meretricious citations."

Oh, yes, all those "meretricious" hyperlinks! It's just soooo confusing to a genius of Schwartz's caliber! He isn't even a good liar: anyone reading this or any other essay of mine can see that the vast majority of my links are to articles by others, and I've never referred to my own articles as "classics." But lying is what this cretin does best, and he sure manages to pack a lot of prevarication into a single screed. He mentions Web sites and individuals that Antiwar.com is supposed to be having a "love affair" with, like the racist site Overthrow.com: but we've [url=http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-18,GGLD:en&q=site:www%2Eantiwar%2Ecom%2Boverthrow%2Ecom]never[/url] featured their garbage on our site. I've never given permission to Pravda.ru to run my articles: commies don't respect property rights, just as Schwartz doesn't respect truth. But to a lying sack of sh*t like Schwartz, who disdains hyperlinks as "meretricious," such old-fashioned concepts as truth, evidence, and proof are for lesser beings: the Sufi mystic [url=http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article?tocId=9379820]sees[/url] a "higher" reality, one that conveniently conforms to his ideological convictions.

Schwartz cherry-picks quotes from my work with the same deceitful alacrity as his [url=http://fairuse.1accesshost.com/news1/kwiatkowski.html]neocon confreres[/url] in the administration cherry-picked "intelligence" in the run-up to war with Iraq:

"Referring to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, he wrote, 'one needn't refer to fiction when the relevant facts are so readily available.' (In other words, the Protocols may be fake, but they tell the truth.)"

Uh, not exactly. Of course, the lying swine doesn't provide a link Ã¢â¬â that would be "meretricious" Ã¢â¬â but here's the [url=http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:hMyySmSZLlkJ:antiwar.com/justin/%3Farticleid%3D3875++%22%E2%80%9Cone+needn%E2%80%99t+refer+to+fiction+when+the+relevant+facts+are+so+readily+%22+site:antiwar.com&hl=en]entire quote[/url]:

"The brazen double standard by which Israeli state terrorism is empowered by the U.S., as a matter of official policy, while retaliatory terror on the part of the Palestinians is unreservedly condemned, has fueled all sorts of unsavory conspiracy theories. Israel's most ardent defenders have, on the one hand, decried the allegedly rising tide of anti-Semitism Ã¢â¬â redefined as too vociferous an opposition to Israeli political objectives Ã¢â¬â and on the other hand have done everything in their power to cultivate an image straight out of the [url=http://www.rotten.com/library/hoaxes/zion-protocols/]Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion[/url], *that infamous Russian forgery which always comes up when any discussion of Israeli power is imminent.

"But one needn't refer to fiction when the relevant facts are so readily available. If there is a single other country that could have its semi-official lobby in the U.S. [url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/27/eveningnews/main639143.shtml]accused of espionage[/url], and then have that lobby courted, praised, and visited by the official representatives of both major parties, including a sitting National Security Advisor Ã¢â¬â well, I want to know which country that could possibly be other than Israel."*

The Protocols are forgeries, and are not true in any sense. But why is the Israeli government doing its best, these days, to create the impression that they are true? Of course, Schwartz doesn't want to talk about the [url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/1216/dailyUpdate.html]recent raids[/url] on AIPAC headquarters. That would be "anti-Semitic." The point of the above is that Israel's fanatic defenders have [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1902593774/antiwarbookstore]redefined[/url] "anti-Semitism" to mean any and all criticism of the Jewish state.

There are so many lies in Schwartz's crazed jeremiad that it would be tiresome to refute them all one by one: he says I "idolize Japan." Huh? Where he gets that from is a mystery to me. He also inexplicably claims I want to be a "martyr," and opines that he hopes I will be some day:

"He also craves martyrdom, and dreams that he will be arrested and tried for sedition the way some of his heroes were. He is so reckless in his provocations that he may some day get his wish."

Schwartz is a weirdo and a loser. He whines that I slandered him by pointing out that [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14360]he defends[/url] Ã¢â¬â and even [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=4178]idolizes[/url] Ã¢â¬â the dictatorial regime in Uzbekistan, of all places, where his wackball Sufism is a kind of semi-official state religion, but I'm [url=http://www.motherjones.com/news/dailymojo/2003/07/we_479_05.html]not the only one[/url] who [url=http://justinlogan.typepad.com/justinlogancom/2004/12/our_man_in_uzbe.html]thinks that[/url] Ã¢â¬â and with very [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=8974]good reason[/url]. After all, we are talking about a regime that has [url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2751/is_76/ai_n6127319]been known to[/url] boil its political opponents alive, and yet [url=http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=8974]this is what[/url] the pro-torture Schwartz had to say about them at a conference celebrating the Uzbek regime:

"The United States, which has entered into a military alliance with Uzbekistan, must support the Uzbeks in their internal as well as their external combat, and must repudiate the blandishments of the human rights industry."

Yeah, forget the "human rights industry" Ã¢â¬â what we need to embrace is the torture industry. That's what Schwartz believes.

It's important to understand that the War Party is not interested in debate, but only in demonization, and Schwartz is a perfect example of this method. Opponents of the war aren't just wrong, in their view Ã¢â¬â they're "Nazis"! Nor does it matter what one writes about them, since it's all for a "good" cause. Schwartz just makes stuff up and flings it at his opponents: and naturally, [url=http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j120501.html]David Horowitz[/url], who has absolutely no moral or journalistic standards (some things never change), has no compunctions about providing a platform for outright fabrications. In this holy war against those they deem their political enemies, these two old commies haven't changed their spots one iota: for them, the ends still justify the means.

All this crap about "neo-fascism," coming from a defender of torture and murder like Schwartz, is actually pretty funny. I mean, here he is claiming that I'm really intent on launching some kind of beer-hall putsch:

"[Raimondo] claims that America is becoming a dictatorship, the better to justify his own ambitions for power."

Oh, yeah. I have these ambitions, you see: all those libertarian ideas about rolling back Big Government, decentralizing state authority, and letting people live their own lives in peace Ã¢â¬â it's all just a front, of course, for my sinister plot to take over America. Bwahahahahahahahaha!

It's interesting that in a 3,000-word diatribe that purports to document my political beliefs, nothing is said about my long-standing (30-year-plus) association with the libertarian movement, or with the late Murray Rothbard. That I have written two books about the impact of libertarian ideas Ã¢â¬â [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1883959004/antiwarbookstore]one on the Old Right[/url], the other a [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1573928097/antiwarbookstore]biography of Rothbard[/url] Ã¢â¬â goes similarly unmentioned. One would think that anyone honestly interested in analyzing the politics of this "minor celebrity" would find my decade-long activity in the Libertarian Party worth at least a sentence or two. But no: Schwartz is not interested in reality. He's too busy cooking up perfervid fantasies about how I'm somehow "a pre-1941 Axis agent in America."

As a liar, a fraud, and an unrepentant leftist Ã¢â¬â "I come from the radical left, and in many respects, I haven't changed," he said in a [url=http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200303u/int2003-03-20]March 2003[/url] interview with [I]The Atlantic Monthly[/I] Ã¢â¬â Schwartz fits right in with the neoconized "conservative" movement of today.

As [url=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/7/4/33218.shtml]Myles Kantor[/url] wrote of Schwartz:

"Some do evil in silence. Others flaunt it."

To which one can only add: Amen, brother!

Ã¢â¬â Justin Raimondo [url]http://antiwar.com/justin/[/url] ========================= Cripes! That's a lot of links!

Thanks for posting this, Sert...

"Of course, Schwartz doesn't want to talk about the recent raids on AIPAC headquarters. That would be "anti-Semitic." The point of the above is that Israel's fanatic defenders have redefined "anti-Semitism" to mean any and all criticism of the Jewish state."

According to the neo-con/FReaker worldview, even putting America's interests before those of Tel Aviv is "anti-Semitic"...

Justin sticks this pig, but good. :thumbsup:

Ponce,

I certainly agree with that. At one time he made neocon talk radio host Boortz mad at him for pointing out that Boortz was a liberventionalist. That is to say a neocon whore.

Howard,

Thanks. I understand that Justin has been banned from "Free" Republic. Too bad. I supposed that is the price they paid to get a brilliant intellect like Schwartz. It would make good reading to see those two go at it.

That summer I also made contact with Comrade Sandalio, also know as Steve Schwartz, who had been until recently the one and only member of FOCUS/The Alarm. Schwartz was working as the official historian of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, AFL-CIO, in the union headquarters on Rincon Hill in San Francisco.

The SUP building was a white rectangle with absurd nautical trimmings, an example of the totalitarian architecture favored by strong states of the 1930s and 1940s. The front of the building faced a stirring view of the Bay Bridge. In the middle of the day on a weekday the front doors were locked. I had to knock. A janitor let me in. The interior of the building looked like a set for "The Lady From Shanghai" or a Humphrey Bogart movie. Aside from the janitor the building looked deserted. I found Schwartz in a tiny rabbit-warren office. He was a short, rotund man with gray and black hair. He appeared to be in his early forties. He wore granny glasses, a green commando sweater, chinos and penny loafers.

Schwartz told me he'd worked on merchant ships crossing the Pacific before containerization wiped out most of the maritime jobs in the late 1960s. In the 1970s he'd participated in anti-union workers' committees while a clerk in the Southern Pacific Railroad yards in Richmond, Calif. Schwartz described himself as an internationally recognized surrealist poet who had been involved in a number of poetic and publishing endeavors with Philip Lamantia and Franklin Rosemont's surrealist group in Chicago. In the late 1970s he'd been the band manager for The Dils, one of San Francisco's best early punk bands. He'd written the song "Class War" for The Dils and written articles in the punk scene paper

Search And Destroy under the name Nico Ordway. Now Schwartz was employed by the Sailors Union of the Pacific to write the official union history, in time for its hundredth anniversary the following year.

[.....]

With the airbrushed portrait of the Sailor's Union, I began to detect a pattern of screwy activity. Schwartz had a penchant for making grandiloquent statements and later retracting them or refusing to back them up. Schwartz had once described the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci as "the greatest intellectual fraud of the 20th Century." I'd always heard Gramsci deferred to reverentially by social democrats, icepickheads and academics and looked forward to Schwartz's demystification. When I later asked him to explain his comment, Schwartz looked befuddled and asked "Did I say that?"

Stephen Schwartz, Web Moron

In response to Justin Raimondo's article today, Stephen Schwarz has written a letter, from which I excerpt a key portion:

*"You have no right to misuse a copyrighted photo of me. Remove it from your links forthwith."*

We did not run a photo of Mr. Schwartz, we [url=http://www.theatlantic.com/images/issues/200303u/int2003-03-20pic.jpg]merely linked to a photo on the Website of The Atlantic.[/url]

On the the other hand FrontPageMag did run a copyrighted photo of Justin on their front page accompanying [url=http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=17310]the article by Mr. Schwartz attacking Mr. Raimondo.[/url]

Two years ago Mr. Schwartz threatened to sue Antiwar.com for [url=http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j120602.html]linking[/url] to a San Francisco Examiner article which talked about his arrest for writing graffiti on a wall. The article explained that Mr. Schwartz was responding to grafitti that said "Stephen Schwartz is the Philosophical Whore of North Beach."

Mr. Schwartz's lawyer and I had a long conversation in which I explained to him the difference between linking to an article and actually running the article. Since his lawyer had no email address and had never been on the Web, he was grateful for the clarification. No legal action was forthcoming, of course.

Now that we are in the 21st Century, you would think that Mr. Schwartz would have learned the difference between publishing something and citing it, but some people are just slow.

For his own education, I would like to point out that Mr. Schwartz's photos can be viewed [url=http://www.theatlantic.com/images/issues/200303u/int2003-03-20pic.jpg]here,[/url] [url=http://www.infoshop.org/graphics/SSgs_poster.jpg]here,[/url] [url=http://www.westernpolicy.org/images/Staff/SCHWARTZ%20HEADSHOT%203.jpg]and here[/url].

Wow, Raimondo kicked Schwartz's ass but good! Nice!

Of course, Schwartz is an extremely easy target. The extent of that guy's hypocrisy is simply astonishing. Raimondo exposes it very well here, in addition to pointing out Schwartz's barefaced lies.

And Schwartz thought that he could take legal action against someone for posting a link to his picture?! That makes him a certified IDIOT.

I don't believe it was that long ago, but unfortunately I don't have a date. I inferred this from something I read recently.

Yes, I did all of that manually. It took a while, but it was worth it. What really is a nightmare is having to use Web TV for this, which I used previously before I bought a computer. Schwartz had his zionist ass kicked but good.
