On Tuesday, Vice President Joseph Biden referred to those who make bad loans to members of the military, to take advantage of them while they’re overseas, as “Shylocks.” He was speaking on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Legal Services Corporation, a nonprofit that helps fund legal aid.

And he shouldn't have. That's an antisemitic slur.

I would seem very odd to me that he DID NOT KNOW that the shylock thing is
commonly considered a slur on jews----BUT I am not all that RIGID on off the
cuff comment-----Trump is REALLY BAD AT IT----he screws things up all the time

I mean, if its common, its not too common, I've not heard that word until this all came up.

Did you start a thread about it?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Another one that pretty well speaks for itself. trump using racial slurs against Jews this time.

Which is weird because I am told all the time that it's the Democrats who are the antisemites, not the trump folks.

Don't worry, Crepitus. He is no threat to you.

You are still an antisemite.

 

[Crepitus]

Did you start a thread about it?

Didn't know it happened.

You may feel free to start one with my blessings.

I don't consider it an antisemitic slur.

"The Merchant of Venice" was actually considered so anti-semitic in my WASP TOWN--
in the 1960s that it was withdrawn from the school library. Weird but true----I think
it was in the wake of the second vatican council thingy---christians of all hue got
