Count me in and I'm half Jewish!  I'm one of those dreaded "card-carrying
members" of the ... ACLU, and I'll definitely stand up for the rights of 
some assholes to make anti-semitic comments before I'll line up with the
assholes trying to shut up everyone with differing opinions.  I think this
is what Chris was talking about.

It does no such thing: take some logic classes.  I personally view
anti-semitism as evil, to say the least (I won't go into family history),
but then I regard censorship as an evil too.  Sometimes I make decisions
based on the "lesser of two evils" principle.  Think about it.
