Professor Allan Nadler Defends Leon Wieseltier

Professor Allan Nadler posts on FB: “Jeffrey M. Ellis What in the world are you talking about? How can they have been substantiated if all remain anonnymous. LAW? What law ?? Please name a “law” that Leon has violated! Or even a municipal bylaw. Or anything rising to the criminality of an expired meter. Mara, good for you ! I’ve known Leon for more than 40 years, and there were two decades plus when we were very close; see it all, for better and worse. He has a lot more men than women to apologize to. And, one thing is certain, he is not a sexual predator. He likes women perhaps more than is ansoultuely required, is all……”

Of course Allan Nadler is going to defend his very good friend Leon Wieseltier. They had so much in common. They were so close. Speaking morally, they were joined at the hip. Speaking intellectually, they were of one flesh. I think Leon broke Allan’s heart.

In voices dripping with venom and jealousy, they could compare notes on who they got to fuck.

Allan should share about the things he did with Leon, the people he did with Leon, and the supplements they took.

Jeffrey M. Ellis replies to Allan Nadler: “Allan Nadler — You are ill informed if you believe that the charges against Wieseltier have been made anonymously. Read Michelle Cottle’s first person account of her experiences, which also quotes named women who were sexually harassed by Wieseltier.

Wieseltier himself has acknowledged and apologized for his behavior.

As for the rule of law, there are laws regarding sexual harassment, both criminal and civil. But that’s beside the point. It’s not against the law to make anti-semitic comments or keep a copy of Protocols of the Elders of Zion on your desk. Would you overlook such behavior if the person doing so were otherwise as great guy?”
