Michael Vowell did give me a better understanding of the infamous Protocols. I think it is important that pastors and thologians in training should be instructed in the history of anti-semitism and how to watch out for it and how best to combat it. However his essay still smacks of the past. I don't believe for a moment the ADL's figure of 17% anti-semites in America or 35% general anti-semitic attitudes. He fails completely to make the lefty/liberal connection to today's fashionable salon anti-semitism ("Zionism = Racism," "we don't hate jews, just israelis," etc.) He also passes over the rising islamist threat in europe and the way muslims are allowed to run riot on liberal campuses which Dave Horwitz's Frontpagemag.com has so ably chronicled.

The downright bizarre, PC, blinder-wearing attitudes of liberal jews needed to be examined unsparingly here as well. White supremacists have become a laughable cultural relic. The last time they did anything violent was when a few of them murdered that talk-radio guy (Mike Berg?) twenty years ago. The ADL, Bnai Bri'th types need to get it though their heads that Evangelical Christians are not their enemies, if fact they are among Israel's stanchest friends. Regular Freepers know this quite well already. I swear, some of these people would be obsessing about what Idaho militiamen might be plotting in their cabins even as the islamonazis and radicals measure them for a box.

It's not obsessing about Idaho militiamen that's outrageous, it's obsessing about the imagined anti-Jewish transgressions by Evangelical and Pentacostal Christians, who in reality are Jews best friends.
