Anti-Semitic Politican Discovers He's Jewish!

[Politburo]

Ah, I forgot, you are of the ilk that only cares about those things, since dividing people and pitting them against each other is key to your strategy. Sorry.

Says the guy who made the comment in the first place!

Brilliant play, sir.

I'm pretty sure Von Manstein, one of the foremost generals of the Russian campaign, was half-Jewish.

Statistically I feel this is something that probably happened far more often than people realized.

[Dayman]

Don't be Zeptarded. Digs as warranted.

Not really appropriate in this thread however.

Then there's this part:

In light of the discovery, Szegedi left his wife, citing that she was a "Jew lover."

OK, I made that part up.

now that is funny..(that is if you watched that show)

How is the anti-Semitism of the modern Democratic party supposed to settle with the fact that if you think you should have to work the rest of your life to pay a government worker to retire at 50?

The dems are many things but as a yid I don't see where you are going?

What D policies and/or pieces of legislation make you think that?

I'm sure there are a few anti-Semites in the party but I'm sure there in each party. Your post has me baffled????

[NickTheCage]

I'm a Jew.. I know what I'm talking about

Look up self hating Jews, it's been going on forever

Genetically a lot of us are predisposed to schizophrenia/paranoia which i believe leads to them being interested in crazy anti Semitic theories... My aunt was like this

Every race, religion, etc, have their share of self loathers and we have some. If jews are guilty of anything it is not understanding the philosophy of freedom and liberty

They're a bunch of socialists

Does Cynthia McKinney's anti-Semitism lower your taxes?

Isn't she a card carrying Green Party member these days since she ran for president under their banner?

I would call her a more of a conspiracy nut, as opposed to a hater of Jews, anyway. But yeah, crazy comes in every stripe of the rainbow.

BTW, I imagine a lot of Jews are at least as annoyed by nonsensical attempts to repaint the entire Democratic Party in this one whacky woman's image in for cheap partisan gain, as they are by this whacky but non-politically relevant whacky woman's beliefs about 911.

Can you stereotype even just a little bit more? Its so close to 10.0 performance but I can only give this a 9.8 on my stereotyping scale.

That's not surprising; it doesn't get much press. Jim Moran and Cynthia McKinney come immediately to mind. Also, the liberal/Progressive wing is generally very, very anti-Semitic. Or, as they'll state it, "anti-Zionist."

Here's a little background:
Liberal Anti-Semitism

Keep in mind that the line really is blurry between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism; they overlap heavily and are often synonymous. Even the Commission on Civil Rights has recognized that (I think...it was a former chair/director, IIRC.)

I think this is more of a case of flat out anti-semitic than stereotyping

So you're saying I am one of the self loathing ones?

I don't care so much for Israel myself, but I certainly am not anti-Semitic.

Yes I keep it in mind but there is a big difference between between anti-semitism and anti-zionism.

And when you state "the liberal/Progressive wing is generally very, very anti-Semitic", many on that wing are yids. Some of the most prominent Communists, Socialists, Marxists, and every other bad 'ist' were/are Jewish. I just don't see how you can make a claim that the Democratic party is anti-semitic in general.

Some of the most prominent anybody were/are Jewish. They (particularly the Ashkenazic branch) are probably the smartest, most ambitious ethnic group in the world. Which is also the main reason they tend to get blamed for every problem.

Sailaway is exactly right when he says "the line really is blurry between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism." I have personally known Palestinians who, I can say without a doubt, hold no grudges against Jewish people, and will even speak admiringly of certain aspects of Israeli society; they're just not big fans of their "bulldoze Palestinian cities" policy. Meanwhile, there are plenty of European leftists whose criticism of Israeli policy pretty clearly stems from a hatred of Jews, such hatred being to this day far more common in Europe than it is—thank God—in the United States.

In fact, while the piece that Sailaway posted gives some pretty interesting arguments, I really don't see anti-semitism taking hold among any political group in this country. There has been that trend in Canada and in Europe, and I think it has to do with the knee-jerk leftist suspicion of success, but this has been a trend of leftist politics since the 19th century. I could be wrong, but Americans of both sides of the political spectrum just seem to have very little patience for that kind of resentment.

Ugh I knew that this wouldn't take long to get these ads...

What does that have to do with the group of posts I wrote?

Majority of them are socialist and/or have socilaist tendencies. Half of my family is straight up communist and the rest are socialist or marxist. We value family, culture hard work, etc ... but in general have no philosophical understanding of liberty

Per Euro lefists, it isn't blurry and they wear the anti-semitism on their sleeve. Large part of Europe always has and always will

There have been plenty of Jews at the forefront of conservative and liberal (libertarian) political movements as well. That's my point.
