dog-whistling away.

I figured, in for a penny, in for a pound. Nothing to do with "reading comprehension" (though you might take a page from your own book, there). If you had "racist" videos, surely you must also have "anti-semitic" ones as well...since you're making an accusation about a candidate being an anti-semite, and all?

See, I knew you didn't have them (which is why I made the comment about making that up). It's hard to have something that doesn't exist. But here's something that DOES exist:

Ahhhh, but wait, there's more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/poll-jewish-voters-favor-hillary-clinton-118831.html

Starting to see why your thesis is not just ill-advised, but poorly thought out?

As for DUers, you are making some very ugly accusations here. You've got to either link or slink. And yes, if someone IS making anti-semitic comments, you DO need to alert, no cutesy little "s'posing" about it, and if you don't, you're as much as saying you find the comments just fine.

You haven't proved the charge you made, and you're tossing out unrelated links and associations, MADem Jun 2015 #225

And with that keep pretending it does not exist among democrats nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #212

That's not what you said, though. You accused DUers of being anti-semitic, and I noticed. MADem Jun 2015 #219
