I don't associate anti-Semitism--which is a prejudice that does not usually involve hatred

That's as delusional an argument as I've read anywhere, and I've seen some bizarre spins on this.

Go read up on Wilhelm Marr. And blood libel, while you're at it.

Is anti-Catholicism genocidal? Neither is anti-Semitism per se. Same difference.

All right--even conceding anti-Semitism involves hatred of some sort--much as many liberals right now hate the Catholic Church--it is hatred of a different order of magnitude to think that therefore all Catholics should be rounded up and killed. That is what I was getting at. What Hitler did was psychopathic. It's a huge leap from one phenomenon to the other. I don't see the logical connection at all.
