Poll finds U.S. anti-Semitic views at historic low

Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:03am EDT

Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman said the poll results could simply be attributed to the United States becoming "a more accepting society."
"At the same time there continues to be violence targeting Jews and an increasing use of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories," Foxman said in a statement. "We can't dismiss that 12 percent of the American people means that there are still over 30 million Americans that hold anti-Semitic views."

Robertson attacks hate crimes bill: "The noose has tightened around the necks of Christians"

If Pat's people can't hate on other people, it's discrimination against those who worship Jesus H. Christ.

In the meantime, Pat will go on about witches cursing Hallowe'en candy. That must mean they have to curse every single piece of candy ever, because you really can't tell if it's going to be used as Hallowe'en candy or just to lure children into the Popemobile. (Heh. We suppose there's a Patmobile as well.)
