It seems that Jenna Delich has actually admitted to posting the link to David Duke’s website, but denies having any knowledge of what the site was about.  Any libel suit she cares to fight will be utterly nuts and counterproductive.  If Harry’s Place’s lawyers use disclosure properly, some very nasty things about the UCU could come out.  The theory now is that her supporters may have caught Harry’s Place out by pointing out their reporting of the post linked to a far-right site, which is often against a host’s Terms of Service.

For Delich to claim that she had no knowledge of the far-right links in this article, or to have not a shred of anti-semitic tendencies, is beyond belief.

First, she is of an academic background.  According to her LinkedIn profile she went to a good university and teaches education management.  It ought to follow that she understands the concept of checking a source for authenticity and reliability.  A quick perusal of David Duke’s website is more than enough to see that the guy is a racist nutjob.  There’s a prominent link to a book called “Jewish Supremacism” in the article, if that was not enough.  If you google search him his Wikipedia page appears before his website, where it clearly states in its first sentence that he is a former KKK member.  One would think that Delich’s chosen career of teaching how to teach would involve a basic understanding of checking a source.  If she claims she did not then she is either incompetent or a liar.

More importantly however is her failure to even question the contents of the article.  That she claims  “No comment necessary. The facts are speaking for themselves”, means that she would have accepted the contents of the article without demur.  That the article repeatedly refers to a Jewish conspiracy to control and manipulate the media ought to set off alarm bells.  That it did not suggests that Delich’s supposed “anti-Zionism” is in fact rather closer to anti-Semitism than she has led herself to believe.

In her admittance of linking to the site, she goes on to write that “none are saying that Joe Quinn (the author of the article) is a racist or anti-semitist [sic], and the article is quite interesting”.  The only way you can draw that conclusion is if you close your eyes, cover your ears and shout very loudly.  In various articles, Joe Quinn claims that Mossad perpetrated 9/11 and that Jews are “psychopaths” with a predisposition to bloodlust.  If she does not consider this racist or anti-semitic, then you have that wonderful phrase “I’m not a racist, but….“.

I suppose she’ll claim that some of her best friends are Jews next.
