Let me clarify my intended statement. I do not claim that this was done by anyone in the Synagogue but by someone who wants to give the impression that the Right (represented by Gibson) is anti-Sematic.

Could be. These things do happen every week, you just don't read about them. It's a non-story which, with the right spin, is an event. If you're including the press in someone who wants to give the impression that the Right (represented by Gibson) is anti-Sematic, you may be getting very close to the truth.

In 2001 there was a big hate crimes vote in the Texas legislature and a day or two before the vote a prominent and politically active black church here in Dallas was conveniently vandalized. It was a huge story until the Dallas Morning News reported that the suspects were black youths. All of a sudden the church, the politicians (the mayor of Dallas was a member of the church), and the police department didn't want to push the investigation any further. The "hate crime" served its purpose though and the bill passed.

I don't believe for one moment that it was Jews or Christians who defaced the Denver synagogue but rather that it was commited by (a) some stupid kids; or (b) somebody who wanted to generate negative publicity about The Passion.

You know, I'm not saying that every case of vandalism is done by members of their own community, but this concept is far from outrageous.
A very common culprit of forest fires is usually someone who works for the fire department.
And then we have Al Sharpton. Oh, brother.
