Fr has been through its JBS period. We know the game. Scratch a JB’er and chances are good that you find an anti-Semite.
“Scratch a JBer and chances are good that you find an anti-Semite.”
I think that is only to the extent that some Communists who killed more than Hitler were Jews.

I remember those days. FR used to be crawling with out-and-out anti-Semites in the days before 9/11. Thanks to Jim Rob for putting his foot down and getting rid of them.
Listen . . . I used to think the JBS hung the moon. I thought they were absolutely perfect. Now I'm ashamed that I ever belonged. And I know more about them than I've posted, too.
The man responsible for my joining the JBS was Alan Stang. Well guess what . . . Alan Stang is now a raving lunatic who considers Abraham Lincoln to be the "first Communist president" and whose list of villains now includes Alexander Hamilton and Henry Clay. How George Washington escaped getting on the list I don't know.
As I said, my theory is that they are the "blue lodge" of the anti-Semitic movement--that means they aren't explicitly anti-Semitic, but they expose members to a sort of toned-down, bowdlerized anti-Semitism that usually produces more out-and-out anti-Semites. Many of the most notorious American Jew-haters got started in the JBS and it's still stuffed to the gills with them, however the Society as a whole avoids endorsing anti-Semitism as an "official" position.
Lenin, Trotsky, Kaganovich and Yagoda killed 25 million - mostly Christians.
Does being critical of that make one antisemetic?
They were pretty skeery as I recall.
