Watcher's Council Winners, June 11th, 2010

The Council has spoken! Here are the results of our weekly Watcher's Council contest.

This week's council winner was Yours Truly for Helen Thomas,Jew Hatred And Its Polite Acceptance , my examination of the Helen Thomas flap, what it revealed about her, her colleagues, why, yes, it truly was anti-semitic, and most importantly, what it reveals about how Jew hatred has become legitimized in today's public dialog.

Our non-council winning post was an outstanding piece by Walter Russel Mead, Goo-Goo Genocidaires: The Blood Is Dripping From Their Hands about how truly evil results come from appeasement minded fools with the best of intentions...and how the type still endangers us today. It's a must read.

Here are the full results:
