Article about Anti-Semitic Graffiti has comments that are nearly ALL anti-semitic and racist

Last edited Fri Sep 7, 2012, 09:46 PM - Edit history (1)

I've seen lots of racism and anti-semitism on the web and in news comments, but I don't think I've ever seen a major site so completely overrun by them as CBS' New York's site.

That is amazing.

The Nazis running for political offices on the GOP ticket are anti-Semitic. The KKK, David Duke and the CCoC are anti-Semitic. Those are older, easily identifiable. But there are newer CT groups who make such claims as below, and please pardon me for listing this drivel:

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is proof the ''Banksters' are of Jewish descent and trying to destroy western civilization; This is part of the Illuminati, Lord Rothschild, etc. conspiracy, Israel attacked an American battleship during the Six Days' War and it was covered up; Mossad blew up the WTC to get us into a war.

These are related to the Ron Paul, Tea Party, and the 'patriot' groups and Alex Jones and others. This may have been an act of stochastic terrorism, inspired by such conspiracy shills.

Jews appear to be the eternal target of wing nut bigotry. There are so many typed of anti-Semitics, that we never want to think about.

I'm wondering which of these groups did this. They need to find them and expose the people that encouraged them. IMO, this is another example of bullying at the least, and it could be considered or might escalate to acts of terrorism.

If the CBS NY has a cleanup crew they are needed now.

But there's also hate to go around in all directions, and it is not always one-sided. I'd rather see the stupid posted to know what/who we are dealing with.
