Is it so difficult to understand that I regard Jew-bashing as loathsome and unforgivable?

[fpb]

I recently wrote an article against a fraudulent and detestable book by a Jewish author. The book itself had almost nothing to do with Hebraism, being an atrocious falsification of the facts of European political history, and especially of the Socialist movement and of that larger and more vague current of opinion that can be defined as Progressive or Modernist. And the fact that I compared it to one of the most loathsome pieces of Jew-bashing in history should indicate to anyone with a brain (that, alas, excludes most Jew-bashers) that I consider BOTH to be the lowest kind of Index-worthy political pornography, appealing to the lowest human passions, in revolt against reason and decency, and unworthy of serious debate. I condemn one detestable book by one Jewish author exactly as I condemn the whole field of Jew-bashing.

(That does not exclude that some anti-semites have had interesting and even worthwhile things to say. Apart from GK Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, who both took the field against Nazi Jew-bashing as soon as they heard of it, one could think of E.Michael Jones. But cases such as these are rare, and barely worth mentioning.)

Let it therefore be quite clear that anyone who tries to pervert my views in the service of a Jew-bashing agenda will find himself deleted and banned. Jew-bashers and other hatemongers are not welcome here. And yes, I have a specific person in mind; one, alas, who claims to be a Christian minister.

In that case, I take it that the all-American Father Charles Coughlin and Rev. Gerald LK Smith (Catholic and Disciples of Christ, respectively) were lefties? Look them up. These were not minor figures: Coughlin, at the height of his success, had forty million listeners to his radio program, in a country of 150 million.

Is this the same Father Coughlin who used his radio pulpit to criticize the Hoover administration for being too laissez-faire? Is this the same one who famously declared that Capitalism was dying and not worth saving--that it should be replaced by "State Capitalism"? Is this the Father Coughlin who criticized Hoover for not federalizing the welfare system (up until then a state and local matter)?

Is this the same Father Coughlin who shilled for Franklin Roosevelt?

Based on what little I know of him, I would say he is one of your party, Comrade, not one of mine.

If you will not take my word of honor for it that republicans exist only to fight tyrants, why should I take your word of honor for it that fascists exist only to fight communists?

If the political spectrum runs from Stalin on the left, to British Labour in the middle to Mussolini on the right, where is one to put figures who reject the political economics for which these figures stand? Where are the limited-government pro-free-market anti-Statist free men?

Where do you put gun owners?

Like most contemporary neocons, Coughlin was a former left-wing fanatic who had been "mugged by reality". Only, he went all the way and became a fanatical and dangerous Hitler booster. Roosevelt actually had to ask the Pope to shut him up when he was preparing to take America into the war - that is how dangerous he was.

OH, and I notice you said nothing about Gerald "my shirts are browner than your shirts" Smith.
