This is so unfair! I’ve been denied my chance at taking over the world, just because of my ancestry. Hmph.

(I think I might be 1/4 lizard-person on my mother’s side…)

If you were forced to pick, would you choose being worked to death in a salt mine, or being worked to death in a coal mine?

Just, ya know, for argument’s sake.

Gosh! Bloody hell! Holy fucking shit, destroying my family, religion and sense of pride? Ooh, the naughty bad people. This must be stopped at once. :eek:

Oh well, I’ll inform my family that they are destroyed, if you like. I wonder, could you possibly ask them to stop me reading altogether, because in that case I might become a more efficient person with a tidier house and less mess on the floor?

Considering that Judaism has been around for rather a long time, this “destroy everything” doesn’t seem to be going all that well.

Seriously, this post must be about the nastiest thing I have read for a long time. But at 07.52, I have no time to refute it bit by slimy poisonous little bit. Probably best just to laugh at it anyway.

But if your message is so serious, **fatherchristmas** , it’s a bit odd that it took you a year and a half to come along with your dire warnings.

When people talk about “stringing up the bankers” or the “Wall Street parasites” I’m not sure if they just hate financial fraud and rent seeking or if it’s a not so silent dog whistle.

This was some popular copy-pasta several years ago:

When white power types talk about the Jews and their evil plots there seems to be an under current of “hey! that’s _our_ job.”

I only skimmed the thread, but I didn’t see a mention of race mixing. Anti-Jew threads and propaganda pictures often lament how Jews use the media to promote diversity and manipulate the other races to mix while keeping pure themselves, thus ensuring their place at the top of the food chain. And making whites self-hating wimps who turn their back on tradition and their culture, but the mixing is the big evil.

No concussion there. Unless they smash their face into the symphysis pubis of some “supporter”.

Man, if I’d sold out Germany I would expect a much better payoff than Palestine. I thought you Jews were supposed to be good negotiators.

it always fascinates me how people who complain about Jewish propaganda and control of information have been so infected by anti-Jewish propaganda. YOu’d think we’d do a better job of keeping that out of the public domain.

heck, the Scientologists do a much better job of it than we do.

You know, I was having lunch with some guys from NBC, so I said, “Did you eat yet or what?” and Tom Christie said, “No, didchoo?” Not, did you, didchoo eat? Jew? No, not did you eat, but Jew eat? Jew. You get it? Jew eat?

I really respect the way y’all are handling an amazingly vitriolic post.  
Humor is an anodyne to much hatred. And we don’t need more hatred in this world.

Nice job, y’all.

As “Jews are scheming to take over the world” posts go, it was actually fairly civil. No bad words, nothing about how Jews are the spawn of Satan, etc. It was like _The Protocols of the Elders of Zion_ cleaned up for daytime television.

Of course, I’m not Jewish, so it was probably a bit easier for me to avoid taking offense.

Well, also there is the fact that we’re thanking Og that someone had the guts to say it.
