Jews get it even worse than everyone else from religion. In addition to all the effects it causes in terms of warping one’s morality, making it easier to believe other forms of bullshit, and making you easily manipulable by politicians, the “Jew Rabbi” is perhaps the ultimately loathsome parasite in the U.S. Jew Temples in poor areas take money that people don’t have and use it to support unbelievably lavish lifestyles of people who inherit the positions from their fathers. What “Jew Rabbis” do to their communities, poverty-wise, is absolutely disgusting, and they are on the whole the most immoral people I’ve ever met, for this and other reasons. Now, you may respond that these generalizations of the Jewish religious community are a little\* harsh\*, but the truth hurts. Try working in sales or retail sometime and dealing with a “Rabbi.” I can forgive the insistence that everyone is “Dr. The Rabbi” whatever–the sort of Pokemon-like accumulation of meaningless degrees from intellectually worthless Bible colleges is hardly unique to any religious group in the world. But the thing is that even though these “rabbis” live high on the hog from what they leech off their communities, they still demand bribes and kickbacks before they will spend Temple money on anything, and of course they wave their tax-exempt status around on everything they purchase even though most of it is going to personal use. The adulation that big-nose ladies have for these scumsuckers lets them get.away with murder. When thoroughly corrupt con artists holding inherited sinecures are the only leadership your community has, and they’re robbing you besides, it’s worth denouncing strongly. Actually, maybe it’s not just the leadership; the biggest problem with Jewish Temples is that too many of them tend to excuse white collar criminal members.

I hear there’s a series of injections you can get for rabbis. ---

I tried something like chubbies, but I couldn’t quite get a rant against fat people to stay as close to the original context as rabbis. (Maybe I should have gone with rabid rabbis bit by rabbits?) ---

“I’m not a racist, but I have some strong opinions on Rabbis” No - you are a racist. Even a mild criticism of Obama causes liberals to play the race card so a strong opinion of a Rabbis definitely makes you one. ---

Oh, for further context: [ATMB thread where the OP was thought to be non-racist](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=652397). As I said there, perhaps it’s not. There are things that I’ve learned have racist roots that I was formerly oblivious too. It’s possible that the reverse is true; that things that I think are racist are merely overreactions on my part. ---

Disliking religious leaders doesn’t make you a racist against the groups that those leaders exploit. This is apparently a controversial minority opinion on this board. ---

> [@Linguini](#): > > No - you are a racist. Even a mild criticism of Obama causes liberals to play the race card so a strong opinion of a Rabbis definitely makes you one. Please. The Right is full of racists, much of the hatred of Obama is motivated by racial hatred, and it isn’t “playing the race card” to point that out. The Right wouldn’t get accused of racism nearly so much _if they weren’t so intensely racist_. They’ve spent decades appealing to racists and recruiting them, and are thoroughly racist at this point. ---

The Right wouldn’t get accused of racism nearly so much _if they weren’t so intensely racist_. They’ve spent decades appealing to racists and recruiting them, and are thoroughly racist at this point. And the left wouldn’t get accused of “pulling the race card” if they didn’t do so often enough to get called on it. The conservative side has within its membership a solid portion of offensive, racist assholes. The liberal side has a solid proportion of people that go out of their way to take critisism as a form of racial attack, even when that was not the intent. These two things blending together does not make a good mixture. Misunderstandings abound, people get angry, dogs and cats live together. MASS HYSTERIA! ---

What is this, the reverse Ron Paul? “Ron Paul’s numerous racist statements don’t make him a racist because Ron Paul isn’t a racist.” “The lack of racist content in your posts doesn’t matter because your posts are racist.” I know you can’t just come out and SAY that you have a problem with criticizing Christianity, but try to come up with some better cover.
