2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPsst. Don, your swastika is showing....
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-hate-comes-home-to-roostThere's a new conspiracy theory rapidly gaining traction among Trump supporters about the origin of the 'Access Hollywood' Trump tape which triggered days of new allegations about Donald Trump's alleged history of sexual abuse. The conspiracy theory is rapidly taking on an explicitly anti-Semitic character. As far as I can see it has not been pushed by the Trump campaign itself, at least not publicly. But it's catching fire with numerous supporters and surrogates - most notably Jerry Falwell Jr, a key Trump supporter among evangelicals and President of Liberty University, the school founded by his father.
The claim is also being pushed by Breitbart and David Duke in various neo-Nazi web forums. Notably, in recent months Breitbart, with which the Trump campaign has now effectively merged, has itself more openly embraced anti-Semitism.

Are any of us surprised? They've been playing the "stabbed in the back" gramophone ever since the convention, but here it is in all its disgusting glory: they really are the Nazis now.

Looks like top Paul Ryan advisor (((Dan Senor))) probably leaked the #TrumpTape--America, are you at least beginning to see a pattern?

Still, with anti-Semitism staring everyone in the face, I doubt many will even give it more than a second look. When it comes to the Jews, we are usually on our own.

Seems anti-Semitism is becoming large and in-charge, but few are actually sitting up and talking notice.
