“America is a very sick Christian country, I hate to say it. There, I said it.”

You hate to say it so much David, you repeat it. I’m guessing you’ve repeated it many times to yourself before this post, and long before Mailers death.

Jesus, get a grip. You can find all kinds of kooks on the intertubes if you’re looking for them. America and its ‘Christians” are Jews and Israel’s best friends, generally speaking.

Where are you from Allbert?

Yes, the blogosphere is very telling. Whnever there is news about a Jewish person in current news, many many blogs run by white supremacist groups and just average normal antisem Christian brainwashed people, make comments about such people as George Soros, or the rabbi in Brazil who got caught stealing ties in Florida or Mailer or anything related to Jews, and BAM! the commentariat comes alive with the most ugly hatred one has ever seen! Some reporter needs to investigate this. It’s a very very deep sickness of the American Christian paranoid mind, and it comes out loud and clear on the Internut. You don’t see these kinds of comments in non-Christian countries (except for Muslim countries yes), but in Japan or China, for example, posters never attack a person because he was Jewish. Again, I remind you all: America is a sick sick antisem country, and Christianity is a sick sick antisem religion. Don’t believe me? It is true.

By the way, Jim Kirk is dead wrong as far as the Jewlicious people here are concerned. I mean any Shoah obsessed person here would already have volunteered to tell me where I went wrong, my Harvard contact thought it was interesting, but was too busy.

Shy Guy: jim kirk made the comment about the Holocaust, not david allbert. There’s no way of knowing if a persn making a comment on the Internets is a Muslim or an atheist or a Christian. But the sheer volume of venomous rhetoric aimed at Mailer’s Judaism and the tepid response to that is telling.

As for jim kirk – well, I think using the holocaust and anti-semitism as the focal point of Jewish identity is destructive, like the deification of mass murder – no wonder people are leaving Judaism in droves, it’s just not very compelling, know what I mean? But calling out injustice being characterized as “cowardly?” Saying tha Jews are responsible for anti-Semitism because they confront it? Man did Mailer get that wrong.

David, for all your talk about toning down mention of the holocaust, your following posts show levels of venemous anti-semitism that cannot help but recall the kind of atmosphere that can lead to a holocaust.

As for America being a sick Christian country, sre you privy to the beliefs of the posters you are quoting? For example, do you have any knowledge how many of them actually associate with Christianity or whether any of the posters are Muslim or aetheists, etc.?

sample comment on youtube now:
“Another poop-obsessed jew gone. Anerica is that much better off w/o him. ”

go to google blogs and see all the antisem stuff in comments about Mailer’s death. America is a very sick Christian country, I hate to say it. There, I said it.
