There are two different basic forms of American anti-Semite.

Type A, who believes that Jews are “right-wing neo-con Zionazis.”
and
Type B, who believes that Jews are “left-wing Bolshevik money-grubbing Kazar commies.”

(Note how they cancel each other out.)

This guy turned out to be the Type B, which used to be the dominant form, but which is now surpassed by Type A in sheer numbers. But there are still plenty of these old-school Jew-haters around, as this incident proves.

Well, there was at least one of them around, anyway.

My take on this is that “the Jew” is just the universal scapegoat, like the bogeyman. Whatever evil conspiracy theory you have gets blamed on the “Jews”.

If you’re a rightwinger and hate Communists, the Jews are Communists. If you’re leftist and hate neo-Cons, they’re neo-Cons. If someone tosses you in jail, they’re a Jew. If the bank repossesses your home, its run by Jews, etc. If you’re broke, its because the Jews took your jobs, etc.

This old loon was so nuts, he even referenced the Illuminatus conspiracy (mentioned above).
