Richard Silverstein fails to provide evidence to back false charges

It has been three days since blogger Richard Silverstein groundlessly charged me with being a "Muslim hater" and a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy originating in the Israeli Foreign Ministry. (Read here.) It has been two days since I asked him to back up those charges with evidence or retract them and apologize. (Read here.) So far, he has failed to do either.

But he has issued the following statement (on another subject) (read here):

“I do not have a problem with anyone, whether Right or Left, expressing their views on the issues... But it is dead wrong to call your opponent ‘evil’ or use Der Sturmer tactics to turn your opponent into a subhuman."

Unfortunately, while he give this advice to others, he seems unwilling to take it himself.
