- Let us hope that the rabbi's question was merely rhetorical. . . Let us hope that Rabbi Potasnik, and by extension, New York Jews, are not as credulous and obsequious and passive as they appear. . .
-
- The simple answer to the rabbi's question is that the corrupt, self-serving, anti-Semitic, power-hungry harpy cannot be trusted.
-
- Weren't we to never forget?
-
-
- The Holocaust must remain, for Jew and Christian alike, a constant reminder that mass credulity and obsequiousness and passivity are necessary for the demagogue to prevail.
-
- To remember that six million Jews died in the Holocaust is to understand that centuries of anti-Semitic attitudes made this horror possible. We must ask ourselves what role our society played through the centuries that in any way contributed to the atmosphere that made such a genocide even thinkable.
-
- Which brings me to the clintons and clintonism. . .
-
- Senator Patrick Moynihan proffered one of the more incisive operant definitions of clintonism -- "defining deviancy down."
-
- Defining deviancy down, indeed.
- clintonism has made personal and public perversions, personal and public predations, not merely thinkable, not merely acceptable, but de rigueur. (Watch us spin. . . and spin.}
-
- clintonism is the theology of contempt. Not merely toward "F___ing Jew-bastards," not merely toward "lazy niggers" or "extra-chromosome right-wingers" but toward any of us whose ideas are different from those of the clintons, Gore, and their acolytes.
-
- So the real question to be answered is this:
- "What fair-minded, clear-thinking person would want to continue
- with its theology of contempt?
- What fair-minded, clear-thinking person would vote for
hillary clinton or Al Gore?"
