Trump Admin Is Anti-Semitic, Racist Human Garbage Demanding Challenge by Decent People

"It is an old, old story. It is one repeated over and over
again in history. When the wolves of hate are loosed
on one people, then no one is safe. ... This too
is a harvest of those so-called Christian ministers
who have chosen to preach hate instead of compassion.
Let them now find pious words and raise
their hands in deploring the bombing of a synagogue."

Atlanta Constitution, Oct. 13, 1958
Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — It's been clear for years Donald Trump is a racist and anti-Semite who used the far-right to cobble together an improbable Electoral College majority.

Recall the first days of Trump's term in 2017 when this gang of idiots babbled on about Holocaust Remembrance Day, it got worse three months later.

Any analyses on we, America, political culture, coming together, healing are so much blather. Any both-sides, false equivalence nonsense should be challenged.

The people who commit these acts of terror and spew hate know their kindred garbage in the White House.

All are the enemy of decent, intelligent Americans.

The Trump administration should be renounced and repudiated as collaborators.

Pittsburgh is the work of the Republican Party's decades-long, divide-and-conquer and demonization effort.

This is not us, not America, this is one Party under Trump who has summoned forth killers to take center stage on Trump's grand show, unbowed by his "bad hair" day incurred after the massacre.

Trump got what he wanted, and noone can say they didn't see this coming.

Trump this morning tweeted his thoughts on how the perpetrators of the massacre were given aid — by the media:

Republican-supporting Americans. Do you get it?

Writes Jonathan A. Greenblatt this morning in the NYT:

More than 100 years ago, the lynching of a Jewish factory superintendent, Leo Frank, in Marietta, Ga., shocked the Jewish community and the nation. It directly led to the formation of the A.D.L. to fight anti-Semitism.

The Pittsburgh massacre should be a similar shock to us today, waking us up to the anti-Semitism and hate in our midst and reminding us all that the fight against them must be diligently fought at every turn by each and every one of us.

Every one of us.

Reminds me of what our friend, Mikey Weinstein, said when asked, "Are we facing the same level of hate that we faced in the late 1950s and early 60s?"

Said Mikey:

No, we’re not. It’s far worse. … [For example,] the situation with this thing with [Col Donald] Higgins is Higgins might probably try to argue that the Jews blew their own synagogue up themselves. The most base, evil, cold, calculated, old-school type of anti-Semitism, Mike, is simply telling lies about Jews. 

That was nine years ago.

Weinstein runs the Military Religious Freedom Foundation which publishes its hate mail.

You want to know how bad it is today? Consider a typical piece of hate mail, given a response by Mike Farrell.

The exchange is reproduced below, and was published Oct 26, one day before the massacre at the Pittsburgh Synagogue:

Note From MRFF Editor: Mikey Weinstein and MRFF get called bigoted names often; however, antisemitism is especially common. While one might find themselves getting numb to hate referencing Nazi’s and the Holocaust, let us all remember how bad things once were. On this day, “26 Oct 1942, Nürnberg, Germany: 95 scientists gathered to review the result of Dr. Sigmund Rascher’s freezing experiments using concentration camp prisoners as subjects.” – (source): ww2db.com/event/today/10/26/1942

Mr.Wienstien,

I want to say a few straight things from the heart to you sir.

My husband (who a proud airman and even more prouder Christian) and I and our children belong to a Bible believing congregation of spirit filled Christian patriots not more than 2 miles from the military base we are stationed at.

For years we have watched you and your tribe attack Christian military men who spread The Redeeming Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Course you never would attack a jew man or moslem military man because you and your little tribe of bullies only target us Christians.

We airmen and our church brother snd sisters are sick of the likes of you and yours taking our free religious rights away from us because we worship Jesus. Your just a villain who picks on Christians in the armed services. Turn the other cheek? My butt we will when it comes to you.

This Halloween should be dedicated to you and the MFRF because you all are the evilest of demons and you don’t even wear a costume.
I have seen the many pictures of you and you wear your evil well sir. You should be ashamed of yourself. In the service of satan. And with a smile too.

Plus being jew you would think you would love Christians who saved your tribe from the Nazis who had just had had enough of them.

Your a disgrace to your jew clan and AF Academy our military and our America. Not your America sir. Our Great America.

Jesus will take care of you and MFRF henchmen when you die sir. Nothing you will say will save you from the flames of Lake of Fire.

We pray we get to watch and enjoy Christ’s revenge from Heaven. You reap what you sew sir. And you reap the burning of your flesh in satan’s hell forever. LEAVE US CHRISTIANS ALONE DEMON!

Do not try to talk your evil back to us with your clever voice of satan Mr. Wienstien. This e-mail will reject your satan heresy sir.

Dear (name withheld),
I’m sorry, I don’t know how to pronounce your name. I note it has an x in it. You’re not, by any chance, related to Malcolm? Somehow I don’t think so.

While I appreciate your credentials, having presented yourself as the wife of a “proud airman and even more prouder (sic) Christian,” I suggest you reconsider the grammar. But that aside, speaking “from the heart,” as you claim to do, is appreciated.

In that vein, let me point out that you’ve misspelled Mr. Weinstein’s name. I’m sure it was an innocent mistake, but I know as a good Christian you’d want to be sure you were putting things correctly.

Assuming you consider me part of Mr. Weinstein’s “tribe,” as you suggested, let me try to clarify a few things in the hope you’ll take the information back to the Bible believing congregation of spirit filled Christian patriots to which you, your husband and your children belong.

First, if you’ve actually watched our work “for years,” as you say, you’ve seriously missed the point of what we’re doing. I urge you to pay attention more closely. You see, we have no problem with “Christian military men who spread the Redeeming Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” That’s their privilege, as long as they do so in the proper time, place and manner as prescribed by military regulations.

You see, if you had in fact watched our work carefully, you’d know we don’t “attack” people for their beliefs, as you have claimed here. We do have a problem, of course, when people who believe their particular faith is the one and only true belief system and demand everyone else believe just as they do or suffer the fires of whatever hell their belief provides. That contradicts every American’s constitutional right to believe as she or he chooses. It is against the law and when it happens we see that it is stopped.

Further, when you suggest, as you have here, “you never would attack a jew (sic) man or a moslem (sic) military man because you and your little tribe of bullies only target us Christians,” you’re entirely wrong. I hate to have to say that, but it’s what happens when you don’t pay close attention. (And, speaking of attention, you really should pay more of it to spelling and grammar.) To your point, we oppose the imposition of any belief system, whether the ones you’ve misspelled here or the many others, on the women and men in the military. The freedom to believe as one chooses, whether it be commitment to a religion or no religion, a faith, a creed or something of one’s own construction, is a fundamental American right, and our mission is to defend that right.

So you see, when you say you and your church brethren and sisters “are sick of the likes of you and yours taking our free religious rights away from us because we worship Jesus,” you are again, I’m sorry to say, wrong on every point. We’re not taking your “free religious rights away” and we have no problem with your worship of Jesus. Now, you may think we’re taking your rights away if you think it’s your right to shove your beliefs down the throat of others, but I can’t imagine a “spirit filled Christian” who speaks “from the heart” would do such a thing. Can you?

And that’s the critical question, isn’t it? It’s one that is raised when you call Mr. Weinstein “a villain who picks on Christians in the armed services” when he does nothing of the kind. Because he calls out bigots who demean those who don’t share their belief system and some of those bigots happen to call themselves Christians doesn’t make Mr. Weinstein a villain, it just exposes fake Christians for what they actually are: hypocrites.

Speaking of which, Ms. Spirit Filled Christian Patriot who Speaks from the Heart, your comment about your “butt” when referring to turning the other cheek makes abundantly clear that you are one of those faux-Christians who proclaim their devotion to Jesus while picking and choosing which of his teachings you’ll honor and which you’ll ignore.

How does Jesus feel, do you suppose, when someone who claims to be a “spirit filled Christian” could even think of the words, “Plus being jew you would think you would love Christians who saved your tribe from the Nazis who had just had had enough of them.” Have you no shame, Ms. x? No, you clearly have none. You, who claim to be a believer in Jesus, can find it in what passes for your heart to infer that it was the Jewish people and their behavior, or, truth be spoken, their very existence, that caused the Nazis to lose patience with them and eliminate millions of them – each one of whom was a brother or sister of Jesus himself – from the face of the earth.

Your casual inhumanity, madam, is disgusting. It is the kind of mindlessness that not only tolerates but creates the madness acted out by yet another crazed, hate-filled person in Pittsburg, PA, yesterday who slaughtered human beings because he, too, “had had enough of them.” I suspect he, too, was filled with spirit. One wonders, in comparing their results, how different his spirit is from your own.

So now, having clarified just who you are and where you stand, I can properly file your hopelessly anti-grammatical, grossly misspelled message and your embarrassingly incoherent attacks on Mr. Weinstein and the MRFF in the round file with the rest of the painfully stupid messages we get from self-righteous people like you who claim to be passionately devoted to Christ yet because they have no comprehension of the true meaning of Christianity, treat it like a cult.
