[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting.........And, not surprising.

[quote]An Associated Press report said that "anti-Semitic conspiracy theories" are rampant in "DC city government" did not state that all of the lawmakers identified for anti-Jewish remarks in the story were members of the Democratic Party.

The story, published Wednesday and authored by Ashraf Khalil, bore the headline "Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories roil DC city government."

It mentioned City Councilman Trayon White, who posted a video on social media claiming that Jews control the weather; Mayor Muriel Bowser, who was present for a meeting with lawmakers including White, wherein he claimed the "Rothschilds" controlled the World Bank; D.C. Public Housing Authority board member Josh Lopez, who organized a rally to support White; and Councilman Jack Evans, who is quoted in the story as also offering words of support for White.

All four officials are registered Democrats, something the story never pointed out. Josh Lopez, the Housing Authority board member, resigned on Tuesday.[/quote]

I'm sensing an underlying agenda...an ulterior motive if you will.
For some folks who've commented its quite clear that they're disgusted with antisemitism 
But seems like for some other folks on here the ire is more so about antipathy towards certain political parties than disgust with hostility and prejudice towards Jews.
Which is more contemptible in your opinion...antisemitism or Democrats?
Cause it sounds like you're more disgusted with the latter and that you couldn't care less what the offense is, - antisemitism...racism...sexism...ageism...whatever.
Sounds like all you care about is wiping out evil Democrats.  What's up with that?[/quote]
Not the PP you're talking to, but the same could be said about all the shit said about conservatives being racists. That's all we've heard for a year and a half. So which is it....do liberals care about bigotry, or just wiping out the evil Republicans? From where I sit, plenty of them get all angry when it's conservative bigots, but makes excuses and justifications when it's coming from liberals. (Not all, but too many to ignore the hypocrisy.)

And from what we've seen play out the last couple of weeks, DC leaders are content to allow antisemitism to fester.....until there is such an uproar that they have no choice. Even with that, White has not even received a reprimand. [/quote]

Nice deflection.
In any case since you ain't wanna answer the question I'll tell you what I don't like - hatred/discrimination.  Don't matter to me what political party the perpetrator belongs to - if you outright hate or discriminate against a whole group of people because of their color or religion or ethnicity or sexuality or whatever, that's some bullshit and it doesn't fly for me.  It isn't any more egregious when Republicans do it...it isn't any less egregious when Democrats do it...it isn't any less significant when Independents do it...
If that's how you role (shifting the gauge of your outrage based on political leanings) then more power to you but I just think that's...well...bullshit.[/quote]
