"I didn't get that at all."

Referring to Jews as "plague carriers" didn't suggest some kind of racial, biological smear to you? Holding Jews - and no one else - totally responsible for a perceived decline in social values doesn't remind you of anything? Doesn't remind you of Hitler?

He doesn't refer to Jews as Plague carriers. He refers to liberals as plague carriers. He actually praises and shares his respect for Orthodox Jews and conservative Jews.

The plague-carriers, so to speak, are the secularized, liberal, middlebrow Jews whose vulgarity sets the tone for American politics, public discourse, and popular culture.

I don't know why this statement is racist. Replace Jews with blacks. Would you call that an anti-black statement? No.
