In the late fall, when the economic collapse began to accelerate, anti-Semitism began to come out of the closet.

One widely circulated conspiracy theory suggests that "$400 billion in funds was secretly transferred to Israeli banks" just prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers and other major investment banks. Launched on an anti-Semitic Web site sponsored by a Washington, DC-based Holocaust denial publication, the false rumor has ricocheted across the Internet and around the world, appearing on numerous Web sites and comment boards with few questioning its veracity or citing its origins (ADL)

You wouldn't think that theories like that would receive wide-spread acceptance in the United States. Unfortunately it has. Over 18% of all non Jewish Republicans blame the Jews for the financial crisis and almost one-third of Democrats blame the Jews:

Ah geez, I thought I had it all figured out and now this. But aren’t 76% of Jews Democrats (or at least they voted that way)? Then how can this be, the numbers don’t fit ... egads I’ll be up all night worrying about this.

It is not much of a surprise when you understand that most democrats do not believe in markets, and do believe in that economics is dominated by corporate conspiracies.

Sounds like the new Democrat mantra is, “Forget about those nice Mooslems, and lets go after those money grubbing Jooos”. Nice. I had hoped that WWII ended all of that. Sure glad that the Jews are no longer simply bending over.

I didn’t know Barney Frank was a Jew. I just thought he was a fag.

The Banking Cartel aka The Central Bank aka the Federal Reserve which has nothing to to with the Federal Government is probably behind this mad-rumor to take attention off of them.

Just keep focusing on The (non)Federal Reserve and the bankers running the place.

AUDIT THE FED.

Most Democrats are Jews, and most American Jews hate Israel, that is already common knowledge. This poll is no surprise to me at all

This is a silent fear amongst Jews, that only one of my Jewish friends were willing to speak of, and that is they will get blamed for the Collapse of Wall St last Sept. IMHO I can't help but wonder if the bailout was an attempt not to incur the wrath of antisemitic types and try to engineer a soft landing to try to prevent such a wave of Antisemitism.

It still doesn’t stop the Jews from worshipping the Democrat Party.

So Rush is Jewish, and O'Reilly is a typical Jewish name. Who knew?

Like Krusty the Clown on the Simpsons said after he found out he wasn’t Jewish, “All theses years I thought I was a self-hating Jew and it turns out I’m just an anti-Semite.”
