In case you forgot, Valerie Plame was a CIA officer who
gained fame and fortune for having been outed by the Bush administration.
Instantly, she became a hero to the left. Anti-Bush politicians used her as a
cudgel to beat up Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and other administration figures. Because, all's fair when you are fighting Republicans. As it happened the person who outed her to journalist Robert Novak was Richard Armitage. Since he was considered a good guy no one cared.
She the incident Plame moved on to become a bundler for Hillary Clinton and has
cast herself as a leader of the Resistance to Donald Trump.
The Washington Examiner has Plame’s story:
A young
beltway socialite, Plame was catapulted to stardom in 2003 when her name
appeared in a Washington Post column. While working as a CIA operations officer,
according to conservative columnist Robert Novak, she had recommended sending
her husband, a former ambassador, to investigate the production of yellowcake
uranium in Niger.
The
Left accused the Bush White House of outing Plame in the press as retribution
for her husband's opposition to the war. (It came out much later that Novak had
actually learned about her involvement from Deputy Secretary of State Richard
Armitage.) She was cast as a victim, becoming a cause célèbre overnight. She
was quoted, booked on television, and handed a book deal.
Plame's
star faded when Bush left office and she found other pursuits. Recently she was
a bundler for Hillary Clinton's ill-fated presidential campaign and launched a
campaign to buy Twitter in-order to delete President Trump's account.
Now, in a story you will not read in the New York Times or
any mainstream media outlet, it turns out that Plame is a flaming anti-Semite.
Plame recently retweeted a link to an article entitled from
UNZ.com: “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars.”
Naturally, Plame responded by saying that it was an honest
mistake. The Washington Examiner looked into the matter and discovered that it
was all part of a pattern:
An
especially embarrassing gaffe for a veteran intelligence analyst, the UNZ.com
article in question asserted, among other things, that Jews "own the
media," that Jewish people should wear labels while on national television,
and that their beliefs are as dangerous as "a bottle of rat poison."
One
doesn't need training in espionage though to recognize the bigotry of the
piece. One also doesn't need to be some sort of covert agent to recognize the
flimsiness of her excuse.
While
Plame insists that she was unfamiliar with the source of the bigoted article, a
quick search shows that she frequents the website and often shares its content.
Since 2014, Plame has posted nine UNZ articles including one
titled "Why I Still Dislike Israel" and another about
"Dancing Israelis" on 9/11.
Think about it, a leftist media darling exposed as an
anti-Semite. Who could have imagined that the party of Jeremiah Wright’s protégé
and Louis Farrakhan’s protégé and Al Sharpton could attract and glorify
anti-Semites. We are now awaiting progressive politicians expressing their outrage. You know, the ones who insist that all Republicans denounce David Duke and other alt-right figures.
Yes, I recall Valerie Plame. She was CIA Chief of Station at the Tysons Corner Lord & Taylor.

ReplyDeleteAs for the anti-Semitism, it's very chic these days in sophisticated circles. And sophisticated people are almost all Democrats.
