Someone in the group allegedly shouted “fuck you Jew” and threw a Slurpie drink at the man

A slurpee? must have been a Nazi upset that his comrades are getting milkshakes throw at them.

Right now, Moscow McConnell has the spotlight.

Even on a story as singularly important as this one.

That’s because Trump drives hate
And McConnell has to keep Trump out of prison

Why is this man still allowed to run free and hurt innocent people with his stochastic terrorism??

OMFG.

Why does nobody ever follow up? “What does it mean that you’re more of a Jew? What makes you more of a Jew than any other Jew?”

I suspect that some of these attackers think they are good Christians. Ignoring that Jesus lived–and died–as a Jew.

We can all blame Paul for the present fucked up state of Christianity. He’s the one who decided that they were going to allow the Gentiles in and that was all she wrote.

Because it’s so absurd and anti-Semitic that no further comment is needed. Best just to let Giuliani keep digging his hole.

Which goes to show that “who converts”, “how one converts” and “why one converts” is extremely important.

Rudy isn’t Jewish. There is nothing to follow up. It’s anti-semitic period.

What’s the matter with these people? Don’t they know that hate crimes against Jews and synagogues are supposed to take place at Easter time, not Christmas?

In the spirit of challenging follow-ups I could ask you to prove your assertion that nobody ever follows up. Pretty sure there’s an occasional followup. And those kinds of questions don’t discomfit these people at all. Have you ever heard Trump tripped up by one? Giuliani? McConnell? Literally any GOP politician once in recent years? They’ve had a lifetime of practice countering these things.

I will say that the blistering response by Jarvanka really impressed me, calling out the anti-Semite attacks as appalling, and calling for the bigot-in-chief to stop with the incendiary Tweets.

This isn’t Comedy Central where everything’s a set up for a punchline when it comes to Nazis mistreating Jews.

I’d just like him to flat out admit that one’s level of Jewhood is directly related to blind obedience to Israel.

It’d be interesting to see how some good Arkansas baptists feel about being classified as such.

“Jewhood”? What the fuck is that and who’s in that cohort.

I don’t think Rudy could even say that. It’s not about him, and he’s too far gone to talk about anything else. He’d just not answer the question and use it as springboard to whatever else happened to be wandering through his head at the moment.

I’ve worked with a lot of people with Alzheimers and dementia. There is nothing left but old repetitive thought patterns, with an occasional flash of how they once were.

Now that may make him spit out every anti-semitic thought he’s ever had, but he’s not quite that out of control yet. Give him a little longer and you will likely get your wish, and we will all see that.
