By focusing only on those you ignored my point that he also defended people who were completely cleared of wrongdoing, proving that your analogy of calling him a mafia lawyer was stupid. Yes, I’m sure he defended some bad dudes, but that’s kinda the nature of being a lawyer. He also did a lot of work fighting against discrimination representing innocent people.

Is there a bigger cowardly move than repeatedly criticizing a person while not acknowledging the things they actually say, which happen to include repeatedly proving you wrong? I certainly can’t think of anything more cowardly than that, at least as far as message boards go.

@Voltaire appears to be the only one to say antisemitic. But also, it appears @Meglamaniac may have gotten @Caine Mutiny suspended.

Yes Jerry, I’m sure there were some Jews in NYC that didn’t like the selection of Kassem as chief counsel. That doesn’t mean either Kassem or Mamdani are antisemitic, and I’m sure Kassem was a key player in the decision to not try to arrest Netanyahu, so so far he seems to be doing a good job of staying fair and balanced. 3 of your links there were from before Kassem was even selected btw. Some interesting quotes from one of them though, although I know you think they aren’t real Jews: Among the Jewish groups elated by Mamdani’s win were IfNotNow, which has organized protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, and Bend The Arc: Jewish Action, which describes itself as a progressive Jewish advocacy group. “Throughout this election, Donald Trump, Andrew Cuomo, as well as far too many out-of-touch Jewish leaders sought to weaponize antisemitism to divide Jews from our fellow New Yorkers,” IfNotNow said. “As Zohran faced an onslaught of Islamophobia, we organized our Jewish communities and refused to succumb to that fearmongering.” Jamie Beran, CEO of Bend the Arc, said the group “endorsed Zohran because we know a strong democracy is what keeps Jews the safest.” “We plan to take this playbook to cities and towns across the nation and work with our Jewish communities to bridge divisions, see through smokescreens and take back Congress.”

Are you assuming people that were released were actually “probably” terrorists? Very un-American of you, Jerry. Mamdani has made numerous comments about the discrimination he faced as a Muslim living in NYC after 9/11. A major case of Kassem’s was defending innocent Muslims in NYC who were surveilled after 9/11, which to me indicates he wants to defend people that aren’t actually terrorists but are accused of being one, which Mamdani probably appreciated given his lived experience. Sad that 25 years after 9/11 we still have so many people that assume Muslims are terrorists. Fortunately the people living in NYC aren’t as racist as bigoted as the rest of the country. Also, I don’t believe the Al-Qaida guy was convicted before Kassem represented him. He pled guilty while he was representing him. Which would indicate IMO he probably doesn’t really want the actual terrorists to get away with their crimes.

Multiple times banned poster and welcher says what?

People still think Boelter was a lib (I know @Hardcore troubadour really doesn’t and is just trolling)

So in your opinion, would a software set up in such a way be more a fault of the software company, or the client? (Barring an implausible scenario where the software company called this out to the client in advance and the client said to do it anyway)

Yes, as none of those things prove he’s an antisemite.

Not TV but I do think Breaking Points is the best I’ve seen to get both perspectives. The individuals are biased but they at least for the most part have an equal number of righties and lefties.

Maybe one where multiple times banned posters couldn’t just keep creating new aliases

BAM CEO googled Reckless Ben and finds guy with same name who was convicted of child porn and speculates that Ben was abused as a child. What a psychopath

Without talking about 10 year old rap lyrics, people he’s hired, college clubs, or his wife, can you point me to some specific statements Mamdani has made (not statements he didn’t make) that would indicate that Mamdani “hates Jews”? Thanks in advance.

@RaiderHaters Revenge beat you to this one

This doesn’t seem good.
