It may do fat little good, but doing nothing will accomplish just that, nothing. There have been some real hum-dingers, including one who is holding fast to some really bigoted ideas, so much so that most of the posters are challenging him, except for two, one who seems to approve of the message and another who seems intent on distracting from the event.

Seems some are enjoying the ability to hide behind certain ideas, defending anti-Semitism, or in some cases, challenging it until they are challenged demonstrating they had no real intent of challenging anti-Semitism, just keeping up airs.
