"Yakov's Golden Elixir" being posted in "protected" groups; no time wasted with anti-Semitic attacks

It's not a surprise, of course.

Only a matter of time 'til these "sensible Democrats" break out their copies of Protocols of the Elders of Zion...

so I went and looked, and you weren't. How terribly disappointing their hosts didn't lock it... I see it was hidden by jury, which is at least somewhat encouraging. I know it's highly contentious here these days, but man, some people are really losing it.

One of the hosts is the owner/admin of that most vile hatefilled site that was started simply to spew vitriol at Bernie and his supporters.

Another posted several smearmongering OPs which were blatant lies about Bernie, one of which is the infamous "Not Good Enough, Bernie" OP.

And oddly enough, another of the hosts posted some nasty cartoons about Hillary in 2008 that called her a LIAR and sexist. How people can have so much hate for someone and express that hate and then turn around to support them is beyond me.

I've always thought that particular host to be a kind and thoughtful person, and when sites start-up, sometimes it's rocky. I may disagree with them at times to my core, but to each their own. I don't frequent the site. I rarely interact with any of those members now days... but I won't disparage them in our protected group. That's not what we're about.

I wasn't here for the 2004 primaries. Did they use black-face videos to illustrate their points? Maybe some Stepin Fetchit videos to accompany their rants about Obama's supposed ineffectualness in Congress? I'm just gonna assume they did and I was lucky enough to miss it.

The thing is, SL could have made his point just fine without the video. But I guess he wanted to add a little extra splash of racism to the melange.

Oh -- I see now that it's been hidden. I dunno. Sometimes I think it's better to have this stuff out in the open so people can see what they're dealing with.
