The Left vs. Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz is a lifelong liberal, but in recent years he has diverged from the left-wing line on a few issues, including Israel and, to a degree, the Trump administration. That has brought the knives out. Liberal anti-Semites, in particular, are out to get him. The New Yorker, a disgusting rag, has been “researching” a hit piece on Dershowitz for some time. Apparently the magazine has dredged up two “accusers” who had something to do with Jeffrey Epstein, and claim that Dershowitz had sexual relations with them. The allegations appear to be entirely false, and may have been cooked up by the partisan lawyer David Boies, who somehow has gotten into the act.

Dershowitz has written an open letter to the New Yorker, defending himself against the smears that apparently are in progress. His defense is exhaustive and eloquent. This is how it starts:

From Dershowitz's letter:

Having been contacted by your “fact” checkers, I now understand the thrust of Connie Bruck’s hit piece: You must know there is no actual evidence that I engaged in sexual misconduct or even met my false accusers — because I did not. So, you appear determined to concoct a false narrative of my life, going back more than 40 years to my first marriage, that falsely suggests that I am the kind of person who “could” or “might” have engaged in such misconduct. To support your false narrative, you began your negative “research” – as you acknowledged to my son — by sourcing a Holocaust denial site that circulates false stories about prominent Jews, including me. You then interviewed my enemies, my critics, dissenting students and especially anti-Israel and, in some cases anti-Semitic, zealots. The original reporting, which took place over many months, did not include interviews with longtime friends and associates who know me well and can present a more balanced perspective. …

You have even refused to interview me face-to-face. When your negative sources are dead or unwilling to be interviewed, you have quoted decades old adversarial court documents that contain false information that you believe is protected by the litigation privilege. You report old, negative articles about me even though they are based on false information. You don’t seem to care whether the information is provably false, as long as you are protected from a lawsuit. Most importantly you are apparently refusing to include in your one-sided screed information that undercuts your false narrative that I and others have provided you.

[Sarcasm] A false accusation of sexual misconduct? That's a new tactic by Libs and Progs. [/Sarcasm]

What are the Las Vegas odds that Dershowitz's fellow prof, the TDS-driven Prog-Loony Lawrence Tribe, has a finger or a hand in this? Just guessing, but ...

Dersh committed the Cardinal Sin of agreeing with Donald Trump about something, therefore he must be destroyed By Any Means Necessary.

Dersh committed the Cardinal Sin of agreeing with Donald Trump about something, therefore he must be destroyed By Any Means Necessary.

Maybe more precisely, his Cardinal Sin was being honest without regard for partisan sentiment. Sadly, as libs go he seems to be a dying breed. Though it is possible that libs capable of being honest simply aren't making the newspapers or 6 O'Clock News.

Dersh is merely from another time. A time in the past when society in general, liberals and conservatives alike co-existed with traditional honesty and integrity.

We had transferred power from one party to the other, while both agreed to oppose the USSR.

The left (now "deocrat socialist, is more like Soviet communism, and Nazi fascism.


Overthrow the newly elected government, no problem.

And lies told often enough, are believed.


Add to that the rejection of long held legal precepts, like probably cause and innocent until proved guilty, and we are looking at danger.
