I’m not sure which is the bigger shake-down operation, the ADL or the SPLC. Both are hate groups (IMHO).

Not all Jews are like this. But all Jews will end up getting blamed for the behavior of these gangsters pretending to care about bigotry.

I looked up "Democrat" in the dictionary, and found it there between "debauchery" and "demon".
