Anti-Semitism at Occupy

Below is the same mentality that happens in the Tea Party. One particular member of the Tea Party goes on their radio show and says the same thing. I was friends with him until he began his Ron Paul Nazi Jew Hating Rothschild comments. He said I should look it up like this Jew Hater on the Tube and I did. Each one of the sites this fake information is on comes directly from Muslim Nazis and the American Nazi Association. Freedom of speech does not include Hate Crimes. These speakers whether on Tea Party Radio or on the streets of NYC are spewing Hate Crime. To prove my point about the Tea Party Member here is a the show. Not once was the person stopped, corrected or hung up on. But was allowed to continue.

Occupy protest critics exploit anti-Semitism
Panicked conservatives are labeling the Occupy protests as 'anti-Semitic' in an attempt to break up the movement.

Some far-right conservatives are labelling the Occupy Wall Street protesters as 'anti-Semitic' based on an anti-Semitic assumption that Jews run Wall Street and the global banking system [GALLO/GETTY]
An ugly old tradition is back: Exploiting anti-Semitism to break the backs of popular movements that threaten the power of the wealthiest one per cent of our population. It is being used to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement, which has conservatives in a state of near panic.

I don't know the first time the tactic was used, although it dates back almost to the beginning of the Jewish diaspora.

Perhaps its most famous use was by the viciously anti-Semitic Czar Nicholas, whose supporters concocted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion at the start of the 20th century to prevent Russians from joining socialist movements and other reform efforts that were fighting to get the czar to cede some power to an elected parliament.

The Protocols were a forged document purporting to show that a cabal of Jews met regularly to solidify their supposed control of the entire world. According to the Protocols, Jews were behind socialist and liberal movements but also ran the banks and Wall Street (A modern version of this ridiculous theme was a staple on Glenn Beck's television programme that ran on Fox News until being cancelled this summer).

Glenn Beck's Anti-Semitic Attacks
The Fox host’s stunning two-day tirade against George Soros is a new low on American television. Michelle Goldberg on the roots of his hatred—and the Anti-Defamation League’s response.

Anti-Semitism, like all ideologies, tells a story about the world. It’s a story about almost occult Jewish power, about cabals that manipulate world events for their own gain. In classic anti-Semitic narratives, Jews control both the elites and the masses; they’re responsible for the communist revolution and the speculative excesses of capitalism. Their goal is to undermine society so that they can take over. Through the lens of anti-Semitism, social division, runaway inflation, and moral breakdown all make sense because they all have the same cause. Nazi propaganda called Jews drahtzieher—wire-pullers. They constitute a power above and beyond ordinary government authority. “There is a super-government which is allied to no government, which is free from them all, and yet which has its hand in them all,” Henry Ford wrote in The International Jew.

If you know this history, you’ll understand why Glenn Beck’s two-part “exposé” on George Soros, whom Beck calls “The Puppet Master,” was so shocking, even by Beck’s degraded standards. The program, which aired Tuesday and Wednesday, was a symphony of anti-Semitic dog-whistles. Nothing like it has ever been on American television before.



Soros, a billionaire financier and patron of liberal causes, has long been an object of hatred on the right. But Beck went beyond demonizing him; he cast him as the protagonist in an updated Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He described Soros as the most powerful man on earth, the creator of a “shadow government” that manipulates regimes and currencies for its own enrichment. Obama is his “puppet,” Beck says. Soros has even “infiltrated the churches.” He foments social unrest and economic distress so he can bring down governments, all for his own financial gain. “Four times before,” Beck warned. “We’ll be number five.”
Beck went beyond demonizing Soros; he cast him as the protagonist in an updated Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
It’s true, of course, that Soros has had a hand in bringing down governments—communist, authoritarian governments. Beck seems to be assuming a colossal level of ignorance on the part of his viewers when he informs them, “Along with currencies, Soros also collapses regimes. With his Open Society Fund… Soros has helped fund the Velvet Revolution in the Czech Republic, the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine, the Rose Revolution in Georgia. He also helped to engineer coups in Slovakia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia. So what is his target now? Us. America.”
Beck’s implication is that there was something sinister in Soros’ support for anti-communist civil society organizations in the former Soviet Union. Further, he sees such support as evidence that Soros will engineer a communist coup here in the United States. This kind of thinking only makes sense within the conspiratorial mind-set of classic anti-Semitism, in which Jews threaten all governments equally. And as a wealthy Jew with a distinct Eastern European accent, Soros is a perfect target for such theories.

To inoculate himself against charges of anti-Semitism, Beck hurled them at Soros, pointing out that he’s an atheist and a critic of Israel. He accused Soros of helping Nazis steal Jewish property as a teenager and of feeling no remorse about it. In fact, when Soros was 14 in Nazi-occupied Hungary, his father bribed an agriculture official to pretend that the boy was his Christian godson. Soros once had to accompany his protector to inventory a confiscated Jewish estate. Asked by 60 Minutes if he felt guilty about it, he said no, because he wasn’t at fault. The slander that he was a Nazi collaborator has proliferated on the right ever since.
It’s entirely possible that Beck has waded into anti-Semitic waters inadvertently, that he picked up toxic ideas from his right-wing demimonde without realizing their anti-Jewish provenance. Early on Wednesday’s show, Beck cited the “Prime Minister of Malaysia” on Soros’ villainy. As Media Matters pointed out, he was almost certainly talking about former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Maybe he doesn’t know that Mohamad also said, “We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew.”

"Puppet master": Beck's attacks on Soros are steeped in anti-Semitic stereotypes

November 09, 2010 4:52 pm ET — 
Glenn Beck has repeatedly attacked financier and philanthropist George Soros with anti-Semitic stereotypes, referring to Soros as a "puppet master" and accusing him of controlling the media, the political process, and the global economy.

Beck: Soros is "the puppet master"

Beck portrays Soros as "the puppet master" during ads for his Soros episode. On his Fox News show, Glenn Beck has repeatedly referred to Soros as a "puppet master" while promoting the November 9, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, which he claims will "expose" Soros. During one ad for the program that referred to Soros as a "puppet master," an on-screen image of the Star of David faded into an image of Soros:

Beck called Soros the "king" and President Obama a pawn. On the September 15, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck, Beck displayed a large chess board, which he claimed would illustrate "how far the establishment will go to protect the power that they have built up." Beck assigned various figures roles based on the pieces of the chess game. Beck said, "Now, who are the king and queen and the advisers and the knights, the protection of the castle?" Grabbing the king piece, Beck continued, "Well, if I may -- I think you've got Soros." Beck later said that Barack and Michelle Obama were "pawns."
Beck: "I'm going to introduce the puppet master, George Soros." Appearing on the November 5, 2010, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Beck displayed a puppet that he said "isn't just any puppet" and that it "is George Soros." Beck went on to say, "On Tuesday, I'm going to introduce the puppet master, George Soros, and -- and all of the stuff the spooky dude does" (transcript from the Nexis database).
Beck: "A special hour on the puppet master, George Soros. ... [Y]our republic's at stake." In a November 6, 2010, ad on Fox News, Beck said, "One of the most important shows I've ever done. Tuesday night on the Glenn Beck program, a special hour on the puppet master, George Soros. It's something you won't hear on any other network. Your republic's at stake -- set your DVR now. Five p.m. Eastern."
Beck: "Will the George Soroses of the world control everything?" From the October 27, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: November 2nd will determine which road America will take. Will we start on the path to restoring honor and trust and common sense in Washington? Or will we continue down the road where anything goes, the ends justify the means and people can just look at you and lie to your face and there's no repercussions? Will we continue to live in a world where political games and the political allies and the George Soroses of the world control everything?
Have you noticed Nancy Pelosi and President Obama and his administration keep talking about the economy and how it's recovering, it's on the right track, and how they're saving jobs left and right? Watch.
Beck: Soros "is the head of the snake." During the October 15, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck claimed that "most everybody in the early progressive movement, their father or somebody involved, was a preacher. And they hated it." Guest David Barton then said, "The ACLU was headed by a preacher in the progressive movement; Americans for Democratic Action, headed by a preacher in the progressive movement -- it is amazing how many of these progressive organizations were headed by preachers." Beck then invoked Jim Wallis, who guest Calvin Beisner said "takes money from George Soros." Beck then said Soros "is the head of the snake."

Beck: Soros controls the economy

Beck cited anti-Semitic smear that Soros pursued a Jewish "agenda" to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. On the October 5, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck continued his smear campaign against George Soros, saying that "many, including the Malaysian prime minister, believe it was billionaire speculator George Soros who helped trigger the [Southeast Asian] economic meltdown" in 1997, a reference to former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's false and anti-Semitic claim that Soros was part of a Jewish "agenda" to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. In an October 10, 1997, report from the Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian (excerpted by BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, accessed via Nexis), Mahathir was quoted as saying: "We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that the Malaysians are mostly Muslim." From the report:
Kuala Terengganu, 10th October: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said that the government suspects that the Jews have an agenda to destroy the economy of this country and other Muslim countries. Also Dr Mahathir did not reject the possibility that the attack on the local currency was to shut his mouth so that he would stop criticizing George Soros, a Jew who hailed from Hungary. "We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that the Malaysians are mostly Muslim."
"Indeed, the Jews are not happy to see Muslims. If it were Palestine, the Jews would rob Palestinians. Thus this is what they are doing to our country," he said when referring to Soros' involvement in the depreciation of the ringgit.
According to an October 11, 1997, Agence France-Presse article (from Nexis), Mahathir later denied that he was suggesting a Jewish agenda resulted in his country's economic crisis:
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Saturday said he did not accuse the Jews of undermining the economy of Malaysia and other Moslem countries.
"I merely stated that this person (American financier George Soros) is Jewish," Mahathir was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency in the Moslem dominated eastern coastal state of Terengganu.
As AFP reported in an October 15, 2006, article, Mahathir met with Soros and said of their meeting: "Mr Soros said he was not involved in the devaluation of the Malaysian currency and that other people were involved. And I have accepted that."
Beck: Soros is a "puppet master" looking to create a "new world order." During the November 3, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck said that Soros was the "puppet master" who was "on the other end of Barack's BlackBerry." Beck went on to suggest Soros was using the Federal Reserve to create a "new world order" (transcript from Nexis).
Beck: Soros and his "minion, Al Gore" have "been preparing this new world order for a long time. They helped create it." From the September 23, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: This is the way of the world. The elites have decided that the world is unsustainable. And so, we've got to have cute, little cooking stove with the Land Rover, and redistribute the wealth. And that way, we'll be able to have a global system and everything will be on the road to recovery -- not for Homer, but for these guys.
You notice I said that we -- we'll have global governance run by elites. I'm not an elite. Are you elite?
You don't really have a say. I don't have a say on this. I didn't know about the stupid cook stove idea. Did you get a shot of that one?
It's nice to think about, you know, all this global warming thing is about the planet and warm food for hungry Ugandans. But, unfortunately, no. No. No. Screw Ugandans, screw you.
This is about Land Rover and Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. That's what this is about. Those companies that are still in existence, they stand to make billions every year. The rich -- and I don't mean the rich guy, you know, who you work for at the factory that you see every day. Hey, Bill the rich millionaire. I don't mean that guy.
I mean these guys, George Soros, spooky dudes who are waiting over here to buy the cook stove. Yes, and I got my minion, Al Gore. And we are going to make cook stoves for everybody. Well, not everybody, but we will have plenty of food for our cook stoves.
People are writing our policy over cocktail parties, pushing the climate change, carbon trade garbage and getting richer and richer and richer on whose money? Your dollars. Yours. They are taking it through your tax dollars.
You have nothing to do with it. We are buying cook stoves!
The regular CEOs are freaking out right now. Most of them voted for these clowns, but they're freaking out now because they can't keep the doors open. They know we're in trouble.
But those are the regular CEOs. Not the Soros type players, the globalists. They have been preparing this new world order for a long time. They helped create it. Look at how Al Gore has positioned himself. He has profited on the hysteria he created, increasing his personal wealth 50 to 100 times or more.
Look, I got no problem anybody wants to be a capitalist. I got no problem on that. But while you're increasing the fortunes of the elites, they're also galvanizing their power and setting up global governance and he is living in a mansion that is using 10 times the amount of electricity that you and I are supposed to use.
Just don't be a hypocrite about it, Al.
Beck: Soros is "one of the guys looking to replace the capitalist system once it's been destroyed." On the June 21, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck, Beck said, "I don't know if [Soros] is a radical that's been trying to implement the Cloward and Piven strategy on collapsing the system." Beck went on to claim that Soros is "one of the guys looking to replace the capitalist system once it has been destroyed." This accusation is based on a distortion of a Soros quote. Soros said that the international currency system -- not the capitalist system -- is "broken and needs to be reconstituted."
Beck: Soros is orchestrating a collapse of American currency to enrich himself. On the October 5, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck, Beck claimed that Soros "thought the dollar needs to be devalued" and cited a Financial Times op-ed in which Soros argued for more stimulus spending. Beck said, "Spooky dude says spend more money." He added: "I don't know if this is the start of the latest, you know, Soros push to collapse a currency. I don't know if this is it; oh, but it's coming. Be prepared, because powerful people like George Soros would like that to happen. Because they're preparing. Have you?"
Beck: Soros "likes to crush the market," then "makes a financial move" at "the right time." On the October 18, 2010, edition of his radio show, Beck said:
Please, watchdogs, keep your eye on George Soros. George Soros' time is about to come. He is a guy who likes to crush the market and he waits and he positions, and then he makes a financial move. He waits for the right time, and his time is coming, where he's gonna say, "I don't know if I have confidence in this currency anymore," and it's over.
He's doing exactly the same thing now with the confidence in the Democratic Party. Here's George Soros, a guy who is funding to what, $400 million? Some of these organizations -- his Open Society shadow government -- and this guy has just come out and said he's not going to help the Democrats at all, because it's inevitable. George Soros' power is not in a star chamber, his power is -- you remember the E.F. Hutton commercials? "If E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen." That's George Soros. The guy's practically a damn country, and when he says something, others take notice. So he's been telegraphing, "I'm not going to spend any money." Why would you do that? "I'm not going to spend any money in this election for any of these Democrats." That freezes the money of others, they're like, "You know what, if George Soros ain't gonna do it -- if he doesn't think it's worth doing, I ain't gonna to do it."
That's exactly what he does on the economy, and I want you to watch, because it happens every time. He will come out between the election and the bond auction, which I think is in March, and he is gonna come out with a statement that says, "This government, now of the Republicans, is irresponsible because of x, y, or z. They're spending too much, they're not cutting enough, they're" -- whatever it is, I don't know what combination it'll be, but he'll say, "This -- I don't have confidence that this government is going to be able to pull through this economic crisis with these kinds of things, I'm looking at maybe the United States currency not being a good investment." And it will be over.
You think I'm wrong, Pat? I think this is what's coming. So watchdogs, please, watch everything you can on George Soros, and know that he is -- I don't know if he's the guy behind the BlackBerry, but -- I decided today I'm going to do a special on George Soros. We're going to do an hour long -- maybe a two-day special. But it's not going to just be a "hey we're doing a special show." We're going to do a documentary on him. And we've been researching him for quite some time. But I think we're going to -- we were just going to do a show. I think I'm going to do a special on him, because Americans need to know who the guy is in the shadow. Who is this guy? And what is he planning? Don't know what he's planning for the future, but I can show you his past. And boy, things aren't looking good.
Beck: Soros "won't care when our day of reckoning comes because he'll profit on that." From the August 25, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: Look, gang, this is all about power. Do you know who is taking money out of the stock market? Who's taking the off-ramp right now? George Soros. Wait a minute, you mean the guy who's -- yes, the guy who's issuing these statements on me? Yes! George Soros, the fund management, reduced his $25 billion in equity investments to $8.8 billion in March and then down to $5.1 billion at the end of June. Why? He's getting out of the market because he knows.
Experts are saying that they believe he is shifting his money towards government bonds. Gee, what do you think? Maybe to be liquid.
This guy doesn't care about people or countries, just money and power. He didn't care when he famously profited off of England's misery. He won't care when our day of reckoning comes because he'll profit on that as well. He and his family will be going to Singapore.
Well, can your family go to Singapore? Make no mistake. The day is coming and we must stick together and rely on the truth.

Beck: Soros controls the Democratic Party and "the left"

Beck: Democrats "were eaten" by "the labor unions, the communists, the radicals, the globalists, George Soros." During the May 12, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck criticized Republican Sen. Bob Bennett (UT) for "working with Democrats." Beck said, "And again, let me give the hot news flash to the 'New York Times.' Bob Bennett and anyone else living under the illusion of a true Democratic Party -- what are you smoking? The Democrats don't exist anymore. They were eaten by the progressives -- the labor unions, the communists, the radicals, the globalists, George Soros -- yes" (from Nexis).
Beck: "You'll understand the role that George Soros plays" in the Democratic Party being "over," "gone." On the November 9, 2010, edition of his radio show, Glenn Beck said:
Tonight is the beginning of the revealing of the puppet master. It is kind of a -- there is so much to tell. There's a lifetime to tell about George Soros, and it is very complex. But we go into the beginnings of the puppets, the strings. I think you're gonna learn some things tonight that you had no idea -- if it makes it into the show tonight because we're still editing and everything else, if it makes it into the show tonight, if it doesn't it will be on tomorrow -- you'll understand campaign finance reform and McCain-Feingold. You'll understand why it happened. You will understand what I have been saying about how the Democratic Party is over. It is gone. You'll understand the role that George Soros plays. You'll understand the history.
This isn't conjecture. I'm not asking you tonight to say that George Soros is -- that you have to take my word that he is collapsing our dollar and that he is subverting the Constitution and planning for a collapse of this regime -- the American Constitution. He is collapsing us. And I'm not asking you to believe me. I'm going to show you all of the things he has in place, and then I'm going to show you his history. He's done it before. And it's clear. It's exact-- he does it the same way every time.
Beck: Many on the left "are paid and fully purchased by the Soros regime." From the November 8, 2010, edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: America, hello, by the way.
I want to talk to you a little bit and kind of give you a little preview and a prelude of what is happening this week. If you are a long- time fan of this program, you know what happens when you Facebook post or tweet a positive or a defense of me or something that we talk about on this program. Try it if you haven't done it before. Oh, you are in for a treat. The flood gates of progressive hell open up on you.
And there is a seemingly, seemingly endless barrage of comments that pour in from people from all over the world strangely enough. And they are all the left of the left. Many of them are paid and fully purchased by the Soros regime.
Most of the comments that you'll get back won't be directed at me. They will be directed at you. You will be demonized for defending or even stupid enough to buy anything on the program.
I've asked you before and I'll ask again -- this week especially -- do not believe anything I tell you, because I tell it to you. Make sure you do your own homework.
If this is the first time seeing this program -- well, I think you're in for an eye-opener, too, because you've heard me described as a guy who's just full of hate, a racist, a conspiracy theorist, just trying to get people to blow stuff up or create another Oklahoma City. That's the latest from the Soros clan. Well, if that were true, then America just isn't the place that I thought it was. Most likely not the place you thought it was. I mean a racist, hate-filled host who is openly trying to get people to be violent would have zero viewers in the America I know and love.

Beck: Soros controls the media

Beck: Soros has "purchased the system" of mass media. During the November 8, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck said, "The press gets a lot of their money from George Soros. He has purchased the system." Beck went on to purportedly show "the media purchased by George Soros" and who are "in the bag for him." Beck also said that "the press has protected the puppet master for a very long time," but that his show was "the canary in the coal mine."
Beck: Soros is "buying journalists." On the October 20, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck, Beck said:
America, George Soros is buying up your whole damn town. Yesterday, we told you the Tides Foundation is funding the Huffington Post investigative arm. That's the arm that says, "Get him!"
Then, like Soros is funding now Media Matters, you have Soros basically announcing today, "Get him!" And then you have a new "Get him" department in NPR, $1.8 million to buy 100 journalists, again funded by George Soros.
So, really, this wanted poster, "Dead or Alive," is really only 3 or $4 million of his money. We don't know how much money Tides has given to the Huffington Post Investigative Fund. They like to keep their donors anonymous. Check their website.
That's weird, because nobody's saying that in the press when the president is saying about shadow organizations buying elections and stuff. They're not buying elections only. They're buying journalists -- NPR, Media Matters.
Beck lashes out at "George Soros media networks." From the July 21, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: How many times have you read in the media things like -- oh, here's one. Beck distorts Obama administration's language. You know, this is from George Soros media networks, but it's also -- it's also on "Think Progress," George Soros, and "Huffington Post," all the -- you know.
How about things like -- "Glenn Beck and fixed news launch another smear campaign? "Glenn Beck takes Fred Nugeberger (ph) out of context." "Glenn Beck baselessly distorts." Glenn Beck, crazy man, jumps to conclusions." Yes.
And most of these blogs and the media outlets weren't all owned by George Soros and paid as much attention to the administration and government as they did trying to attack me and faux news -- I love it, I've got a gem! "Faux news." F-A-U-X. Oh, that's brilliant!
If they would pay attention to the real news, the republic probably would be safer. But after seeing the news like we did from the "Daily Caller" and "Journo-List" that we showed you yesterday -- and there are more today, journalists showing their true colors. Let's show you that in a minute. It's easy to see why no one in the media bothers asking this administration questions.
Instead, the outlets say -- I'm the one jumping to conclusions. I'm the one smearing and lying. Oh, man!
[...]
BECK: See, context matters, but not to the people of the Soros company. They believe media matters. "Media Matters." No, no.
No, not so much anymore, my friends because we realize to you, context doesn't matter. You see, that's how, you know, call me old-fashioned, but when I was a kid, that's what we used to do.

Beck: Soros controls elections

Beck suggested Soros was behind purported scheme to steal MN Senate election. On the January 18, 2010, edition of Glenn Beck, Beck said of Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, "He is the Katherine Harris. He was an ACORN-supported guy, handpicked by the George Soros-funded SOS Project. SOS is designed specifically to have control of the power in close elections -- lesson learned apparently." On October 13, Beck said of Soros, "the guy who spent the last few elections donating tens of millions of dollars, trying to elect progressive and push the progressive issues, started SOS, where you can control the secretary of state -- you know, the people who are in charge of the recounts in states like, oh, I don't know, Minnesota, Al Franken." (From Nexis.)
In fact, the suggestion that George Soros, Mark Ritchie, or anyone else stole the Minnesota Senate election is completely fabricated. In its decision rejecting Norm Coleman's appeal of the decision declaring Franken the winner, the Minnesota Supreme Court stated that "[n]o claim of fraud in the election or during the recount was made by either party" and that "Coleman's counsel confirmed at oral argument that Coleman makes no claim of fraud on the part of either voters or election officials."
Beck: Soros is bankrolling U.S. elections. From the January 28, 2010, edition of Beck's Fox News show, in which he discussed Obama's State of the Union remarks on the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (from Nexis):
BECK: Here's what the president said.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OBAMA: Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interest -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our election.
(APPLAUSE)
OBAMA: I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interest, or worse, by foreign entities.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: Yes, maybe like George Soros.
This is the Supreme Court of the United States. Look what he's doing here. FDR did it. They rule on something, say it's unconstitutional. He says, "I don't really care. I'm going to fight you. I'm going to go around you. I'll do whatever I have to do."
Well, let me ask you this. Did you see what happened with Judge Sam Alito? He reacted by shaking his head and mouthing the words, "Not true." It's not true. And now, he's getting ripped apart.
Beck: "This is George Soros's money, hand-picking secretary of states so they have them in his pocket." From the October 31, 2010, edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck (from Nexis):
BECK: Remember, SEIU and the voting booth glitch in Harry Reid's home state of Nevada, where the machines were mysteriously pre-selecting Harry Reid. Don't worry, everything is A-OK. Secretary of state Ross Miller said there's no evidence of voter fraud. Wonderful news coming from SEIU- endorsed Ross Miller. Oh, one more endorsement for Secretary of State Miller, George Soros.
This is from his SOS (ph) project page. By the way, SOS, Support Secretaries of State who will protect the election, the Secretary of State project. This is George Soros's money, hand-picking secretary of states so they have them in his pocket.
Al Franken. Remember Al Franken? Here's the site. "Since we launched in the fall of 2006, we have engaged in 11 races and have backed the winning candidate in 9 states, including Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon, New Mexico, Montana and Nevada." No fraud here. So says SEIU and George Soros. You can trust us. Move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.
(LAUGHTER)
BECK: You have to go out and vote. You have to get everybody you know to go out and vote. Do not -- do not allow yourself to get involved with the George Soros cronies. If it is a close call on Tuesday, George Soros will be managing the recounts just to make sure it's fair. Don't let the intimidation of rocks (ph) and agitators suppress you.

Beck repeatedly cited anti-Semitic sources on his shows

Beck cited book from Nazi supporter Elizabeth Dilling on his radio show. On the June 4, 2010 edition of his radio program, Beck promoted The Red Network by Elizabeth Dilling, which is a book that contains numerous passages espousing anti-Semitism and racism. At various points throughout the book, Dilling attacks "racial inter-mixture" as a communist plot, refers to "un-Christianized" "colored people" as "savages," called Hinduism and Islam "debasing and degrading," and blamed Nazi Germany's anti-Semitism on "revolutionary Russian Jews." Furthermore, Dilling was a Nazi sympathizer who visited Germany in the late 1930s, attended Nazi party meetings, and praised Adolf Hitler's leadership. Dilling also spoke at rallies hosted by the leading U.S. Nazi organization, the German-American Bund.
Dilling's history of anti-Semitism includes calling President Eisenhower "Ike the Kike" and labeling President Kennedy's New Frontier program the "Jew frontier." British professors Christopher Partridge and Ron Geaves wrote that Dilling was a "pro-Nazi antisemite" who disseminated the anti-Semitic hoax Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Furthermore, Dilling's work has been promoted by David Duke and the group Women for Aryan Unity.
Beck refused to apologize for promoting Dilling's work, saying on the June 7, 2010 edition of his radio show:
But I'm also getting some amazing mail from the left that now says I'm a Nazi anti-Semite because I quoted a book on Friday -- it was the Red Book, or something like that. It was a who's who, who's in the communist party in 1935. Apparently, I don't know, apparently written by a Nazi sympathizer here in America. Part of the, I'm sure -- I don't know because I didn't look it up -- but I'm sure part of the Father Coughlin, social justice crowd, because this is the choice that progressives give you -- you're either a Nazi or a communist. No, I'm neither. But now -- so now I'm kind of stuck between the place where the left says that I'm a Nazi sympathizer and a Jew lover. So I guess the left can have it all, that I'm a Jew-loving Nazi sympathizer. It's a really interesting place that I don't know if anybody's ever been.
Beck pushed book from "anti-Semitic" "one-man organization of hate" on Fox News. On the September 22, 2010 edition of his Fox News show, Beck cited Eustace Mullins' book Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Mullins was a 9-11 truther who has been described as an "anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist" and a "nationally known white supremacist"; the ADL called the book "a re-hash of Mullins' anti-Semitic theories about the origins of the Federal Reserve." In addition, in an obituary for Mullins, the Daily News Leader of Staunton, Virginia, described Mullins as a "[n]ationally known white supremacist and anti-Semite." The obituary noted that in 2000, the Southern Poverty Law Center described him as "a one-man organization of hate."
Beck cited anti-Semitic smear that Soros pursued a Jewish "agenda" to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. On the October 5, 2010 edition of his Fox News show, Beck continued his smear campaign against George Soros, saying that "many, including the Malaysian prime minister, believe it was billionaire speculator George Soros who helped trigger the [Southeast Asian] economic meltdown" in 1997, a reference to former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's false and anti-Semitic claim that Soros was part of a Jewish "agenda" to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. In an October 10, 1997, report from the Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian (excerpted by BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, accessed via Nexis), Mahathir was quoted as saying: "We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that the Malaysians are mostly Muslim." From the report:
Kuala Terengganu, 10th October: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said that the government suspects that the Jews have an agenda to destroy the economy of this country and other Muslim countries. Also Dr Mahathir did not reject the possibility that the attack on the local currency was to shut his mouth so that he would stop criticizing George Soros, a Jew who hailed from Hungary. "We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that the Malaysians are mostly Muslim."
"Indeed, the Jews are not happy to see Muslims. If it were Palestine, the Jews would rob Palestinians. Thus this is what they are doing to our country," he said when referring to Soros' involvement in the depreciation of the ringgit.
According to an October 11, 1997, Agence France-Presse article (from Nexis), Mahathir later denied that he was suggesting a Jewish agenda resulted in his country's economic crisis:
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Saturday said he did not accuse the Jews of undermining the economy of Malaysia and other Moslem countries.
"I merely stated that this person (American financier George Soros) is Jewish," Mahathir was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency in the Moslem dominated eastern coastal state of Terengganu.
As AFP reported in an October 15, 2006, article, Mahathir met with Soros and said of their meeting: "Mr Soros said he was not involved in the devaluation of the Malaysian currency and that other people were involved. And I have accepted that." 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Protocols have had a long life, used by the czar, the Nazis, and even today by extremist and fringe Muslim groups opposed to the existence of Israel.
Dangerous goals

But they were primarily used not so much against the Jews as against reform and revolution. Linking a progressive movement to the Jews would destroy progressive movements and preserve the power of those in control.

Perhaps not surprisingly, a bizarre variant of this phenomenon is now being deployed against Occupy Wall Street.
"... A lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. "
- Rush Limbaugh
Because utilising anti-Semitism directly would not succeed in this country today, the reactionary defenders of the economic status quo are using the flip side of the coin: The fear of being labeled anti-Semitic. They are accusing Occupy Wall Street of anti-Semitism, relying on the old myth that Wall Street is Jewish and hence that opposition to Wall Street's agenda is just opposition to Jews.

Not surprisingly, the first right-wing commentator to use this formulation in the Obama era was Rush Limbaugh. In 2010, Limbaugh told his radio audience that Jews might be having "buyer's remorse" about having voted for President Barack Obama because "[h]e's assaulting bankers. He's assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish."

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned those remarks, labelling them a "new low" for Limbaugh. ADL National Director Abe Foxman explained that Limbaugh's references to "Jews and money" were "offensive and inappropriate".


ADL: Rush Limbaugh Reaches New Low With 'Borderline Anti-Semitic' Remarks About Jews



New York, NY, January 21, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Rush Limbaugh reached a new low with "borderline anti-Semitic comments" on his radio show, in which he raised the possibility that liberal Jews were having "buyer's remorse" with President Obama in light of the outcome of the Senate election in Massachusetts.
Limbaugh told his listeners: "To some people, banker is a code word for Jewish; and guess who Obama is assaulting?  He's assaulting bankers.  He's assaulting money people.  And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if there's – if there's starting to be some buyer's remorse there."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement: 
Rush Limbaugh reached a new low with his borderline anti-Semitic comments about Jews as bankers, their supposed influence on Wall Street, and how they vote.
Limbaugh's references to Jews and money in a discussion of Massachusetts politics were offensive and inappropriate.  While the age-old stereotype about Jews and money has a long and sordid history, it also remains one of the main pillars of anti-Semitism and is widely accepted by many Americans.  His notion that Jews vote based on their religion, rather than on their interests as Americans, plays into the hands of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.
           
When he comes to understand why his words were so offensive and unacceptable, Limbaugh should apologize.



Foxman continued: "While the age-old stereotype about Jews and money has a long and sordid history, it also remains one of the main pillars of anti-Semitism and is widely accepted by many Americans."
Age-old stereotypes

And now the "age-old stereotype" is back, flipped on its head by right-wingers who seek to discredit Occupy Wall Street by accusing it of anti-Semitism, an accusation based on the idea, as Foxman said, "widely accepted by many Americans", that Wall Street is Jewish.

One of the first conservatives after Limbaugh to use this tactic was the usually quite proper Ivy League conservative, New York Times columnist David Brooks. In an October 10 column dismissing the Wall Street protests as "trivial sideshows", Brooks wrote:
Click for more of Al Jazeera's special coverage
"Take the Occupy Wall Street movement. This uprising was sparked by the magazine Adbusters, previously best known for the 2004 essay, 'Why Won't Anyone Say They Are Jewish?' - an investigative report that identified some of the most influential Jews in America and their nefarious grip on policy."
Interesting. Brooks essentially is charging that a magazine few have heard of "sparked" the movement and, even worse, smearing the movement as anti-Semitic by bringing up an article that magazine published seven years ago about the Jewish "grip" on policy. Quite a reach.

And then yesterday the Emergency Committee For Israel, a far-right Republican group run by Bill Kristol, issued a video flat-out accusing Occupy Wall Street of anti-Semitism, with side swipes at leading Democrats (what a coincidence!) like President Obama and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who have sympathised with the movement and are therefore, by implication, probably anti-Semitic themselves.

The Emergency Committee's evidence is presented in the video, which shows three anti-Semites and two anti-Semitic signs among the protesters. That's it, out of a crowd of thousands. (Far be it from me to guess at the number of anti-Semites who might be at a Tea Party event, but they don't define that movement either. Mass movements attract all kinds of people, some invariably unsavoury.)



In any case, the Emergency Committee for Israel is not concerned about anti-Semitism or Israel. It is, rather, dedicated to defeating Democrats and promoting its billionaire donors' economic interests. During the 2010 congressional campaigns, it produced videos almost as deceitful as the Wall Street video that lied about Democratic candidates. It used Israel and Jews as devices to direct money and votes toward the Republicans.

In attacking Occupy Wall Street, the Emergency Committee's goal is simply to smear Democrats. If, in the process, it reinforces the stereotype that Jews and Wall Street are interchangeable, so what? How different is that from its usual practice of suggesting strongly that American Jews should vote only based on Israel's supposed interests, not America's? To put it not-so-mildly, the Emergency Committee for Israel does not care about fuelling anti-Semitism in America.

Because that last video of a couple of anti-Semites may have left a bad taste in your mouth, here's another one. It was shot at the Wall Street demonstration on Yom Kippur Eve and it features not a few anti-Semites but thousands of Jews celebrating the holiest day of the Jewish year, a day dedicated to the same ideals as Occupy Wall Street: Repentance for putting our desires before the needs of the poor, the homeless, and the exploited.

In this video, Occupy Wall Street is repenting for greed. Wall Street itself is silent.

Tea Parties Host Open Anti-Semite, Nazi Defender, Israel Hater

By Debbie Schlussel
I’ve told you about anti-Semitic Michigan Tea Party speaker Emily Zanotti, a lunatic stalker who praised Muslim Holocaust denial and anti-Semitic death, rape, and torture threats.  And yesterday, I told you about Michigan Tea Party Express speaker Mike Cox, sleazebag and Islamo-panderer extraordinaire.  He was featured at every Michigan Tea Party event over the weekend, and is wasting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to aid extremist Muslims. And then there was the Tea Party event at the conservative CPAC conference, of which Islamofascist Grover Norquist was an embraced sponsor.
jimtraficantohioteaparty

Jew-Hating, Nazi-Praising Tea Party Star Jim Traficant
Tomorrow, open anti-Semite, Nazi defender, and Israel hater Jim Traficant (ne Traficante) is a featured, invited speaker at the Tea Party events throughout Ohio, this week–including events in CanfieldSpringboro, and Warren, among others.   (Ironically, Traficant dropped out of the Springboro event because the organizer called Hispanics “Spicks” on Twitter–he approves bigotry against Jews, but not Hispanics).  And he’s been a Tea Party speaker before, in 2009.
Tiny detail:  he’s also a convicted felon.  As an elected official, Traficant accepted bribes and illegally forced his tax-paid Congressional staff to do work on his house, his farm, and his boat.  Moreover, Traficant has spent years defending and enabling Nazi war criminals living in our midst.  Yup, that’s exactly what you want as a featured speaker at Tea Parties . . . a convicted felon who criminally wasted taxpayer dollars on himself, for his own personal benefit.  And bonus:  he hates Jews and say “THE JOOOOS” are to blame for his criminal conviction.  But no worries, Traficant was cheered and welcomed at a 912 Tea Party event in Ohio in September 2009.
On TV and radio appearances, Traficant has repeatedly blamed “the Jews” and Israel for his conviction and sentence in federal prison.  That’s an interesting conspiracy theory.  Uh-huh, THE JOOOOS forced him to accept bribes from non-Jews.  Yeah, THE JOOOS forced him to force his tax-paid Congressional staff to spend their time as his own personal “Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition” crew.  Oh, and by the way, a completely gentile jury convicted this scumbag.  But THE JOOOOS hypnotized them into it, right?
Since the Tea Parties in Ohio openly embrace this known anti-Semite, Israel-hater, bribe-taker, and tax-defrauding criminal, I must come to the conclusion that this is what the Tea Parties stand for.  If they did not, they would reject Traficant and boo him.  Instead, he’s a warmly embraced repeat headliner at their events.
When Tea Partiers claim they are unfairly libeled and slandered for being anti-Semitic, they might try looking at who their speakers are and ask themselves why they continue not just to allow this . . . but to enthusiastically cheer Jew-haters and Islamo-panderers.
***
By the way, the following people are scheduled to appear on stage with Traficant.  Apparently, they think Jew-hatred is okay, or they’d have nothing to do with him:
Dan Rivers, a talk-show host for 570 AM WKBN radio, will emcee and speak.
Others scheduled to speak at the event: Donald K. Allen and Bill Johnson, both Republican candidates for the 6th Congressional District; Dan Moadus, a Democratic candidate for the 17th Congressional District; ex-U.S. Rep. James A. Traficant Jr.; grocery store owner Henry Nemenz; Columbiana County Republican Chairman Dave Johnson; and Larry Everly, a tanning-salon owner.
And these people shared the stage with the Jew-hater and convicted felon on Saturday:
Some of the speakers were Judge Colleen Mary O’Toole; Sandra O’Brien who is campaigning for Ohio secretary of state; Jim Graham, who is hoping to run against Rep. Tim Ryan for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 17th District; and ex-U.S. Rep. Jim Traficant.
Tea Party activists and conservatives claim you “can’t define the Tea Parties.” I’m not so sure about that. I think the Tea Parties are easily defined: masses of people with zero backbone, who openly cheer anti-Semites, Israel-haters, and Islamo-panderers.
And that’s damn frightening.



More Anti-Semitism at Occupy Los Angeles

While there have been intense arguments in the media recently about hints of anti-Semitism which have erupted at New York’s Occupy Wall Street protest, very little attention has been paid to similar problems cropping up at other “Occupy” events around the country.
Below you will find some photographs and a video taken at the Occupy Los Angeles encampment which reveal how there is a growing encroachment of anti-Semitic “Jewish bankers” conspiracy theories becoming more and more evident at these events. Obviously not everyone at the “Occupy” protests is an anti-Semite, but the fact that these statements and views fit so neatly into the whole anti-banker milieu, and often go completely unchallenged by fellow protesters, should give everyone cause for concern about where this whole movement is heading.
The first four pictures show the signs close up. The second four pictures show the same signs in context as they appeared at the Occupy Los Angeles protest, to prove beyond any doubt that these are authentic. Below them is a video of an Occupy Los Angeles speaker spinning more conspiracy theories.
All Los Angeles photos and video here were taken by Ringo, and will appear in future reports at Ringo’s Pictures. This is the first time any of them have been shown online.
(Below the Los Angeles images there is a gallery of videos [many already well-known] of anti-Semitic protesters at the New York Occupation, along with transcriptions.)
First, at Occupy Los Angeles:

“End the Fed. Turn off the spigot!!!”, with an illustration showing Stars of David (containing the word “Zion”), missiles, and dollar signs, implying either that Jewish influence in the Federal government is what causes war funding, or that Jews pressure the government to send military aid to Israel, or both.

“Bizarre and incredible as it sounds, humanity has been colonized by a satanic cult called the ILLUMINATI…This cult represents Masonic and Jewish bankers who finagled a monopoly over government credit which allows them to charge interest on funds they create out of nothing. Thus, the people who control our purse strings are conspiring against us…They have orchestrated TWO WORLD WARS and are planning a THIRD.”
This ancient stereotype of the evil and greedy “Jewish bankers” is the precursor to the “greedy Wall Street bankers” so hated by the Occupiers.

“It’s Yom Kippur: Banks should atone!” Hmmmm…why would the banks and bankers engage in a Jewish ritual practice (atonement on Yom Kippur) if they weren’t Jewish? Again, we return to the “Jewish bankers” theme.

“Humanity vs. the Rothschlds” [sic -- he means "Rothschilds.]
In earlier centuries up through WWII, anti-Semitic “Jewish banker” conspiracy theories frequently focused on the Rothschilds, a prominent European Jewish family which owned many financial institutions.
Speaking of the Rothschilds conspiracy theories, and the belief that the Jews “funded WWII,” this video by Ringo of a speaker at the Occupy L.A. protest shows that the anti-Semitism is creeping into standard anti-capitalist speeches


Here’s a transcript of what she said starting at 0:39 into the video:
Occupy L.A. speaker: “How many people know that the wars, in WWII, both sides, were funded by the Rothschilds? Those are the bankers. So banking and war is very intertwined.”
And in case anyone wants proof that these signs were indeed at the Occupy Los Angeles protest, here are photos of them in context, with the Occupation encampment around them:





Just to be complete, here is a gallery of videos taken at the New York Occupy Wall Street protest.
First up is the now-infamous “Lotion Man,” arguing with a Jewish passerby






Lotion Man: “I got a job, Mo. I do have a job. You’re a bum, Jew. Man, I’m a Jew. Why are you fighting with us? You got the money, that’s why you’re fighting, you Jewish man. My father worked 40 years, and we have a foreclosed house, my mother’s dead, she had a heart attack from stress. You tell the corporations to stop calling my mother.”
Jewish passerby: “What?”
Lotion Man:What? [Mocking] Uh? Uh? Duhduhduhduhduh. You can’t even speak English? Are you Israeli? Go back to Israel. Israel. Go back to Shalom Israel. … I have a job. I’m a college graduate. I’m in the Local 1 Plumbers’ Union. Who are you to tell me I need a job? Look at you, you short little man. Go away. I don’t wanna argue. Bye! Keep it moving. Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Wall Street.”
Also note that the person who took the video said (about Lotion Man’s statement that he too is Jewish) “By the way, during the course of his performance, he told me that he was white, Puerto Rican, Jewish, and African-American.”
Next up is a guy who’s been standing at the protest for weeks, holding up blatantly anti-Semitic signs and ranting about Jews, to the consternation of Jews in the vicinity:
“Blame the Jews.”
That’s the message one Wall Street protester was trying to spread in Lower Manhattan to anyone that would listen.
A new video posted to YouTube shows the protester loudly and aggressively proclaiming “the Jews control Wall Street.”
In the nearly 6-minute video, the man is seen standing in Zuccotti Park ranting against Israel and Jews while holding a sign reading “Hitler’s Bankers – Wall St.”
The protestor, who would not give his name to those gathered around him, is also seen arguing with members of the public who took offense to his choice of words.
A number of others also ask the protester if Fox News had paid him to stand and display his sign to which he responded: “[expletive] Fox News, that’s [expletive]. [Expletive] Jew made that up.”
Here’s the video:




The Occupiers, completely unable to accept that their arguments have attracted kooks with similar and overlapping beliefs, begin to formulate their own ridiculous conspiracy theory that he is an agent hired by Fox News — as you will see in this transcript, starting at 1:30:
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “The Jews control Wall Street! These are the Jews! The Jews control Wall Street. Google it! Google Wall Street Jews. Wall Street Jews! Their names are Jewish — do the homework, do the research. The Jews control Wall Street!”
Bystander: “Hey, didn’t I see you getting out of that Fox News truck parked over there by the corner?”
[Later, starting at 3:24]
Blogger: “Tell me something: Know what? People are saying that Fox News gave you $50. Did you get paid $50 to hold that sign?”
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “Fuck Fox News and that bullshit.”
Blogger: “Did anyone pay you to hold that sign?”
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “No! A fucking Jew made that up.”
Blogger: “No one paid you to hold that sign?”
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “No.”
Here’s another video of the same guy, with a transcript starting at 1:14:

 
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “Google ‘Jews control Wall Street.’ Google “Jewish billionaires.’ Google ‘Jews and the Federal Reserve Bank.’ The small ethnic Jewish population in the country, they have a firm grip on America’s media, finances, and other areas of production.”
Interviewer: “So what would you say to people who say you’re anti-Semitic or don’t like Jews?”
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “I would tell them that Jesus in the Gospel according to St. John, Jesus referred to certain elements in the Jewish community as ‘children of the devil,’ Chapter 8 I believe. But, having said that, the fact of the matter is that there is clear, the fingerprints of these Jewish billionaires and hedge fund managers and bankers is clear and convincing.”
Interviewer: “So are you against all Jews, or just…?”
Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “I’m against the Jews who are robbing America, or who are silent about their brethren robbing America. Google ‘Jewish billionaires.’ Half the billionaires in this country are Jewish. Jews represent 2% of the population, but they are that 1% that seems to control America. And you can also Google ‘Jews control America.’ There’s a lot of research that’s been done to prove that there appears to be some kind of ethnic grip on the American economy.”
…etc.
The interviewer wrote an article on The Blaze to accompany these videos, in which he also includes an interview with a “non-leader” of the Occupy Wall Street group saying the the anti-Semite doesn’t represent the rest of the protesters.
Here is yet another video of the same guy, with a transcript starting at 0:33:
 Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protester: “I have to say that Jews have usurped the authority of the majority of the people of this country. And they’re doing it in a conspiratorial manner. And everyone is afraid, everyone is shaking in their boots to admit that one ethnic group is dominating America.”
This article in the Chabad Lubavitch Headquarters News discusses how some observant Jews at the New York Occupy Wall Street protest are becoming increasingly upset at the incipient anti-Semitism in the protest messages, and are trying to counter it:
Daniel Sieradski, a new media activist and participant in the protests, says he is reaching out to Jewish participants at the protest.
Sieradski has also found a small, fringe element that has “chosen to co-opt the protests as an opportunity” to spread hatred and anti-Semitic rhetoric, among participants, and hopes to dispel negative Jewish stereotypes and to “fight those using Jew-hatred,” by his presence there.
Leftists at the protest are hyper-senstitive to accusations of anti-Semitism, and have struck back with counterattacks.
This article in New Voices, the National Jewish Student Magazine, downplays the sign-holder as “the entire anti-Semite community of the Occupy Wall Street protest,” claiming there are no other anti-Semites there.
And the left-leaning pro-Occupy PoliticsUSA site published articles entitled Nazi Obsessed Fox News Attacks Occupy Wall Street As Anti-Semitic and A Terrified Rush Limbaugh Mines the Gutter Of Anti-Semitism To Attack the 99% which go to great lengths to dismiss the charges of anti-Semitism.
But with the emergence of the new evidence from Los Angeles presented above, the charges are getting harder to ignore.

Ron Paul Is A Vicious Anti-Semite and Anti-American and Conservatives Need To Wash Their Hands of Him

by David Horowitz
Posted on February 17 2011 1:25 pm
David Horowitz is the editor-in-chief of NewsReal Blog and FrontPage Magazine. He is the President and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. His most recent book is Reforming Our Universities


Long ago Bill Buckley drummed the anti-Semites out of the conservative movement, and the movement thrived as a result. But the Jew-haters have returned. For years the Texas crackpot, Ron Paul, has been attacking America and Israel as imperialist powers — the Great Satan and the Little Satan, and calling for America’s retreat from the battle against our totalitarian enemies. At the recent CPAC conference Paul’s Jew-hating storm-troopers swarmed the Freedom Center’s table to vent their spleen against Israel as a Nazi state. Now Paul is making a priority of withdrawing aid for Israel  — the only democracy in the Middle East and the only reliable ally of the United States. Here is an alert from Gary Bauer about the amendment Ron Paul is proposing which may be voted on today.
Thursday, February 17, 2011
To: Friends & Supporters
From: Gary L. Bauer
Special Alert
Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) has just introduced an amendment to end all U.S. aid to Israel.  The amendment could be voted on before the day is over.  I need your help right now to stop this ill-conceived proposal!
Please click here to quickly and easily send a message to your elected representative urging them to stand with Israel.
Don’t be deceived.  This Ron Paul proposal would not lower our budget deficit.  By abandoning Israel while its enemies are gaining strength, the risk of a major war in the Middle East would increase. A major war would cost the U.S. billions and billions of dollars as we have already seen in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The U.S. gives billions of dollars a year to foreign countries that hate us and regularly vote against us at the United Nations.  But, Israel votes with the U.S. 97% of the time.  They are a loyal ally that shares our values.  The aid they receive is used to buy military equipment from U.S. companies so the money comes back to us. Ron Paul’s proposal makes no sense.
Please right now go to www.cwfpac.com to tell your congressman to stand with Israel.
You may also call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your representative’s office.  If you don’t know his or her name, give the operator your zip code and they will transfer you.  Tell them to stand with our most reliable ally Israel by opposing the Paul amendment to end all foreign aid.  Please take action now!
