  Hutman

  First, I'd like to say that I consider you a friend, and I respect you a great deal. I hope we can disagree here and still maintain a friendly dialogue.

  Having said that, I agree with you that the Anti-Semite bomb is thrown around too lightly, generally, but in the specific case of Steele The First, it really seems to fit.

  e.g. -

  Yes, I do find most Jews elitist and racist. You can label me whatever you want, but that is what I see, and I know who I am. I am not an anti-Semite, I am not a Jew hater, and I wish violence and discrimination against no one. That is EXACTLY WHY I say that most of the Jews I see in the world today are racist and elitist.

  So fuckin' sue me.

  If I were to say, for example, "most blacks are lazy", I don't think there would be much argument about whether that was a racist statement. He didn't stop there, though.

  Listen, I know there is no such thing as "the Jews." I know there are good and bad Jews the wold over. But overwhelminlgy, in my experience with the world in the past 20 years, I have to say, in all honesty, I have found the Jews that I have met and seen to be very racist and very elitist. They just don't give a shit about anybody but their own.

  Again, what if I said, "there are good, hardworking blacks, but most of them I've met over the last 20 years are lazy and don't give a shit about anything"?

  Next:

  And yet you wonder why you are hated. You wonder why people strap bombs to themselves in order to kill you. You wonder why anti-Semitism just doesn't seem to go away.

  You are the biggest fucking pussies, the loudest fucking whiners, the most spoiled, coddled, ungrateful, selfish fucking assholes on this planet.

  Is it really hard to read between the lines of that statement?

  Steele may actually believe that he's not a racist, and people may throw the Jew hatred epithet around a lot more than is warranted, but in this case, the shoe doesn't just fit, it's tailor-made.
