I'm not trying to reinforce this sorry state of affairs (let's face it, not that many people read this blog, and we are all pretty like-minded) -- but the country is the way it is and we need to deal with that.
A guy from New York with the last name Rosenberg, on TV in middle America, talking about the Mets and laughing self-deprecatingly, is the face of a New York Jew.
While these assaults on my character are interesting, does anyone have anything substantive to say about how these guys would do be perceived on the Sunday morning shows or the evening news? Because that's what I was writing about.
Uh. Are you serious? He seemed pretty Jewsish to me, and how many non-Jews are named Rosenberg?
I don't really want to get too much into the conversation, but I think that this google explanation of the search term "jew" says it best:
I understand you disagreed with what I wrote. But I've been on the site about a year now (it's true I just registered last month, but I read it daily before I began posting) and I was expressing an honest opinion that I'm happy - actually, very interested - to debate with you.
I troll-rated your posts hoping someone else would 0-rate them and help me to remove them from my diary. I spent about an hour writing it, and you seem to be trying to block any dicussion. If you disagree with me, please talk to me or move on -- but recognize I am open to changing my mind and just want to be heard.
empty.
I am still in shock that like-minded people (myDD readers) can have such polar opposite views.
