One Third of Democrats Blame the Financial Crisis on the Jews
boston review/the lid ^ | 6/13/09 | The Lid

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:

No way! /sarcasm

Does this put them in the same ranks as Von Brunn?
I am near sure that one third of Democrats hate FOXNews, Jews, believe that 911 was an inside government job, etc.

Would this likewise allow for those one third of Democrats to be categorized as leftwing extremists being the large majority of them reside at the Huff.Post, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.?

Those of us over 50 and studied history, and read books of WWII will remember this sort of thing began in Germany in the 1930s.

Since most Jews are Democrats, one can assume that 1/3 of them blame themselves. Maybe they know something we don’t.

...almost one third of Democracks ARE Jews. And the other third are Obama voters fraudulently-registered by ACORN. As Paul Harvey would say, "Now you know the rest of the story."

There is no logical reaon for Jews to support the Democratic Party. If they had some self-respect, they’d tell the Democrats to cut it out or they’re gone.

The difference is 13.6 % - I’d bet you can attribute most of that to the inhabitants of the democrat Black Community and other minority groups.

Why in the world do Dems overwhelmingly get the Jewish vote? Not logical.

Really?

There are roughly 5.5 million Jews in the United States. If, as many claim, roughly 75% of them are Democrats... then that means there are 4,125,000 Jewish Democrats.

You claim that 1/3 of the Democratic party is Jewish, so the total Democrat party population must be 12,375,000.

Out of a total population of roughly 140,000,000 registered US voters. Of which, Wikipedia states that 72,000,000 are Democrats.

So... 1/3 of 72,000,000 is 4,125,000 to you.

Your words remind me of the poem by Niemoller:

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then... they came for me... And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Revised slightly:
“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I was a Liberal Jew;
And then... they came for the Liberal jews... And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
