Right-wing cartoonist sues Jewish organization using anti-Semitic memes...

"What a maroon!" -Bugs Bunny

Trump-loving cartoonist sues ADL for calling him anti-Semitic — and his lawsuit is loaded with anti-Semitic conspiracies

Ben Garrison, a Trump-loving conservative political cartoonist, has filed a lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League for labeling some of his work as anti-Semitic.

However, Garrison’s lawsuit tries to disprove charges of anti-Semitism by relying on several anti-Semitic conspiracy theories involving George Soros and the Rothschild family, whom neo-Nazis and other anti-Semites falsely believe control world governments.

Eichmann said he really regarded himself as a Zionist, who just trying to encourage Germany's Jews to emigrate to safety abroad, and trying to make their extermination as humane as possible when they didn't leave

People like Garrison begin with their contempt for others wrapped in some ambiguity -- but as they crank up their hatred in hopes of garnering ever more attention, the increased heat shorts-out the control circuits, so finally they reveal themselves as smoldering empty shells of bigotry

He makes his money from his ugly opinions: he can't sue if other people find his opinions unpalatable and say so
