Thanks for the “history” lesson, Lee. Biblical scholars like yourself (objective, well credentialed and quite knowledgeable) are hard to find; Rocky should feel a sense of relief…if not a little wariness as well…knowing that such an intellect is on-board his team.

Years ago, before Zionist became a PC synonym for Jewish, haters referred to the press as “Jewish controlled media;” today you and your kind (e.g. herr hauser) are much more comfortable, if no more informed, using the expression “Zionist controlled media.”

Of course despite your lamentation to the contrary, “there can actually be discussions about Israel/American relations without charges of anti-Semitism being levied (sic).” However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea if such discussions excluded people like yourself and herr hauser whose pre-disposition and, at least in hauser’s case, DNA composition, seems to include Jew-hatred. (Or am I wrong, Lee? Perhaps some of your best friends are Jewish!)

I hope that however extreme your prejudice might be, it doesn’t match herr hauser’s. He has been known to claim that: 1) The Nazis were peace loving, gentle folks; 2) The Holocaust never happened; and 3) Whatever DID happen, the Jewish victims were responsible for themselves.

If Rocky is ever going to be taken seriously as a candidate for President, he has to disavow the extremist, hate-filled irrationality of the nut case fringe who populate the swamps and cesspools of our great country!
