If any of this sounds familiar, don't be shocked. I found this on the Stop the War thread.

"The pudgy, balding man openly waved his protest sign - "Hands off Iraq - No Blood For Zionism!" Below that bit of anti-Semitism, he'd printed the web address of the National Alliance - the openly neo-Nazi, white-supremacist organization founded by William Pierce. That's right, William Pierce, the author of the Turner Diaries, a novel depicting a post-apocalyptic race war against blacks and Jews. The novel that inspired the Oklahoma City bombing, that killed one hundred and sixty eight people. In most situations, the very presence of such a bigot would draw a crowd of counter-protesters. On Friday, May 2nd, I watched this bigot march alongside young people wearing the t-shirts of Anti-Racist Action. It was a strange day in Santa Clara, California, where the remnants of the broken anti-war protests gathered to protest President Bush's appearance and speech at a nearby manufacturing plant.......
The last theme, of course, was anti-Semitism. That's full-time ideology and profession of the National Alliance, which was openly wandering the streets, happily talking with the protesters about Jewish conspiracies. Besides our pudgy, already-mentioned National Alliance supporter, an elderly man with no sign went from person to person, pressing small slips of paper into their hand: "It's All About Israel." A masked, black clad man roamed the crowd with a sign that read "Zionist Puppet" on one side, "No More Wars For Israel" on the other. One gentleman, dressed up like Uncle Sam, had a large sign that read "I want YOU to die for Israel - Israel sings 'Onward Christian Soldiers.'" As he mugged for the camera, I noticed the Israeli flag pinned to his jacket, the Star of David replaced by a swastika. Not every anti-Semite was dressed like a loon; there was nothing peculiar-looking about the man who eagerly gave me a two page, tightly-spaced pamphlet on "Zionist Influence on U.S. Foreign Policy," a pamphlet which claimed that "our leaders are controlled by the well organized, powerful, and unrelenting PRO-ISRAEL ZIONIST / NEOCONSERVATIVE movement." The flyer told us about "Zionist power," which included control over ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, UPN, and a host of other news networks and newspapers.
In other words, the Jews control the media. The flyer contained the URLs of several web pages, including one from the National Alliance and two others which blame 9/11 on Israel and 'the Zionists', in collusion with the U.S. government. And don't be fooled - this kind of nonsense wasn't just coming from cranks in the audience. An anonymous activist from the South Bay Mobilization, never identified by his full name, told the crowd that 'neoconservatives' had promised Bush the presidency for life, as long as he followed the polices of Israel. He spoke this through a microphone, as an official rally speaker. Anti-Semites don't just attend these rallies, they speak from the stage.
If I were a Democrat like Joe Liebermann, I might want to ask my fellow candidates, Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich, what their supporters were doing mingling with neo-Nazis, flashing their signs and recruiting for their campaigns?"
One might also ask, what they are doing pretending to be Christians on threads like these? |
