    Steele

    Here comes the slander. Here comes the lies. Like clockwork.

    I never said I did not like Jews.

    No, worse (from yesterday):

    I don't hate Jews. I hate ass-holes. And if ass-holes defend their ass-ness with Judaism, then it looks like I hate Jews.

    It seems to me that a consistently held belief/opinion (notwithstanding hobgoblins and all that) probably remains constant from, at least, one day to the next.
