Picking on Gore Vidal

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Oct 28 2009, 1:56 PM ET Comment

A Goldblog reader writes:
"You're just picking on Gore Vidal because you think he's anti-Semitic. Any criticism at all of Jews by someone like Gore Vidal is too much for you, huh, Goldblog?"
Actually, I was picking on Gore Vidal because he blamed the victim in a case of proven child-rape. The main reason I find him vile, though is that he is a 9/11 "truther." Which I think is a good reason not to like someone.
