I reject claims moral equivalence between the modern day persecution of Jews and the modern day persecution of Christians of any flavor. Like racism, anti-Semitism under Hitler’s regime was tied to a person’s genealogy more than his words or deeds.

That is true.

Still, were anyone to refer to you or your loved ones as "backwoods, snake-handling goobers" I believe you would feel a certain amount of resentment, especially when the people doing this considered any reciprocal treatment to be a banning offense.

Hmmm...a serious question. "moral equivalence between the modern day persecution of Jews and the modern day persecution of Christians of any flavor" -- now what Hitler did was hate Jews or even Jewish converts or even if your great-grandfather was a Jew. Hitler was a racist as he hated the Jews due to their race.

Now if someone used the terms Jews in the religious sense and said some of the things ZC said here against Catholics, would it be anti-Semitic?
