YYA is a one-trick pony, constantly playing the Mivazeh Talmid Chacham card. Rava, in his disputes with Abaye often remarks, “There are two rebuttals to the matter.” I’ll do three. 1. If he’s protesting what we’ve said about Schneersohn, well the Gadol Hador called him crazy, and I doubt that he had as much information about him as we do or he would’ve said much worse. 2. If he’s upset that Manis Friedman has been vilified, again we’re not to blame, all I did was report what a Gadol said about him. If YYA has a problem with that, let him contact said Gadol. 3. Even if we have transgressed belittling Talmidei Chachamim so what? According to his holy Rabbi Friedman no Jew can be punished no matter what he does, so I and the others are totally in the clear. Checkmate.

I would argue that the Rebbe is far worse than ST. Rabbi Miller said that neither Yoshka nor his disciples ever suggested that he’s a Novi. By claiming he’s a Novi the Rebbe was telling his followers that he’s on the same level as Moshe Rabbeinu. I mentioned about a year ago the Chabad clown who said that the Rebbe was much greater, because he never got angry like Moshe.
