I'm guessing, though, that your accuser was ham-handedly trying to make the point that s/he believes Republicans are unfairly tarred with racism accusations when they criticize Obama with what they believe are non-racial accusations.

Those types of accusations do happen often on DCUM--not all the time but on a very frequent basis.

Are you talking about outside of the political forum? Because I personally am shocked by the casual anti-Semitism I have seen in other forums when questions come up about holiday celebrations in schools, bar/bat mitzvah etiquette, and other similar topics. I don't see anything remotely anti-Semitic in what Jeff posted, though.

I agree with this. Never thought Jeff was antisemitic but do think there are a lot of other people on the forums who are. Especially happens around Christmas.

I'm the PP. No, I don't think Jeff's comments were antisemitic. I do think there are quite a few DCUM posters who generalize about people of faith with impunity from their fellow posters.
