Another poster has dealt with the Washington quote. I don't recall seeing the Jefferson quote before, but it's out of character with the rest of his public utterances and writings, which include his authorship of the Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom.
The Franklin quote first appeared in a screed by William Dudley Pelley, an avowed National Socialist, in 1934. The alleged source, the diary of South Carolina delegate Charles Pinckney, has never surfaced. From chain letters in the '30s to Internet posts today, the diary has often been claimed to be in the archives of the Franklin Institute -- something the Institute has denied since at least the 1950s.
The Franklin quote -- often labeled the "Franklin Prophecy" -- was more or less debunked right after it was published. But it remains a favorite of bigots, and is actively flogged by the usual suspects.
I'm not accusing anyone here of intentionally promoting anti-semitism, but spreading this sort of falsehood, even with the best of intentions, aids the Nazis in their attempts to claim the Founders as their own.

See post 52 for my reply about the quotes and for my full retort against mr allens anti-brit posting.
