GOP Donor Steps Forward With Evidence Of Anti-Semitic Whisper Campaign
-snip-
Joplin, Mo. businessman David Humphreys said in an affidavit that state Republican Party chairman John Hancock made "what were in my opinion negative remarks" about Schweich's faith last fall, according to local TV station KYTV.
Schweich committed suicide on Feb. 26, the same day he'd arranged interviews with reporters so that he could publicly accuse Hancock of spreading misinformation about his religion. Schweich, an Episcopalian, believed Hancock had been telling people that he was Jewish in order to hamstring him among evangelical Christian voters in the Republican gubernatorial primary.

Humphreys, a Schweich donor, said in the affidavit that Hancock told him at a Nov. 24 meeting "Well, you know he (Schweich) is Jewish?”
“The meaning I took from Mr. Hancock’s statements and tone of his remarks was clear: He (Tom Schweich) is Jewish – in case you didn’t know – and that being Jewish is a negative attribute for Tom Schweich’s gubernatorial race," Humphreys said, as quoted by KYTV.
Hancock disputed Humphrey's version of events.

Remember, as Jews, we aren't qualified to decide what is and isn't anti-Semitism, and need someone to help define it for us. 
Amazing this happens, but more amazing, is it happens more than people know and certainly would ever admit.
