I remember a sociology class in college (one of those many liberal art

the way Christians hated Jews, Doctors Salk and Sabin would have figured
out a way to withhold their anti-polio vaccine from Gentiles. But, of
course, Salk and Sabin didn't do that. Good businessman that Salk was
(Jewish, you know), he didn't patent his vaccine.

Saying that Christians hate Jews is just as much of a sterotype as
saying that all Jews are good business people, and just as offensive
if not more so.


Yes, well, I was discussing a period in the United States in the 1950s
and early 1960s, when there was plenty of overt discrimination against
Jews in the United States. Your boy Nixon was a raving anti-Semite. And
those Christian Southern Strategy Republicans? Ever hear a meeting of
them talking about blacks and Jews? I have.

And there is plenty of historical data indicating Christian hatred of
Jews in this country and, of course, in Europe throughout the centuries.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg has spoken publicly about the antisemitism she
faced, as has Bernard Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot.

Who do you think the antisemites are in this country, if not mostly
Christians?
