"I'm not Anti-Semitic, I'm just Hebrew-Skeptical"

Clicked on a few right-wing YouTube channels earlier to see how lavishly they'd be praising Trump for his Fearless Leadership regarding Harvey, but one of them was rehashing Charlottesville instead, and there was one of the "Jews will not replace us" yahoos talking. That's how he described himself.

I smell the hand of Frank Luntz in this.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and more importantly f*cks like a duck, it's a duck no matter what you want to call it.

His daughter and son-in-law just cannot be that oblivious - or forgiving...

i.e. that they're special and will be saved when the untermenschen are wiped out.. of course they're wrong and in for a surprise if/when the nazis are able to implement their true goals.

How any woman can support Trump - or actually anyone who's been paying attention - is beyond me!

But I take your point. Anyone in Trump's orbit believes they're "special" - just like he does.

I had thought his name was Franklin Luntz, a German-American Lutheran, or Francis Luntz, a German-American Catholic. Turns out his first name is Frank. Just Frank. No abbreviation.

Thank you for the info, JI7. I truly like to learn new things!
