Substitute with Blacks, Muslims, Gays, instead of Jews and it becomes obvious. Substitute lazy, filthy, sissy for greedy and it’s a crime. Awful in 2016.

Bingo.

Further, I would state that anyone who would push a campaign eMail like this for personal gain, is someone unfit to be walking the streets.

If they said this about Blacks, they’d be up on charges.

I’ll bet this guy misses the good old days when Jesse Jackson was caught calling NYC “Hymietown”, and within three weeks Eddie Murphy was singing a song about it on Saturday Night Live to adoring applause and laughter.
