Homosexual rights adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair, Zonk was criticized this weekend by Jewish groups outraged by his latest revelations.
Zonk, in a confidential memo uncovered by The News of the World claimed that the Prime Minister was manipulated by Zionist Jewish Freemasons to go to war in Iraq.
The leaked memo was immediately condemned by ADL leader Abraham Foxman who said "This compounds Zonk's earlier bigotry and dangerous extremism with regards Jewish affairs"
Foxman went on, "This is completely unacceptable"
However Zonk confronted his critics in a morning press conference where he said,
"We must tackle, head on, the twisted Zionist plot and campaign for modern concepts of homosexuality"
Zonk was also criticized earlier this month by Jewish groups furious at his proposals to rename Holocaust Day , "Peter Tatchell awareness 24 hours" ; the term "day" being deemed homophobic by Zonk and other activists as it sounds like "Gay".
However, the move was cautiously welcomed by SLOJOE, The Secret Lesbian Organization of Jihad Organization of Europe who said "This could be a very positive step forward for ugly lesbians and Gay Niggers around the world".
SLOJOE is expected to hold talks with the GNAA later this month and issue a joint statement on a number of key issues.
I have to wonder if one of the plaintiffs clients is Amazon.com and/or Jeff Bezos.
I don't see how these guys are going to get anything other than some $TFU money... if even that. Google has deep enough pockets right now to brush back anyone that steps up to them. Look at how they are going toe-to-toe against Microsoft in the poaching case.
It's silly for them to try and pursue this. It is no less silly, IMHO, than if I were to try and challenge God Almighty by claiming the digital rights to sunshine.
The problem with socialism is that they always run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher
