Anti-Semitism and the Madoff Scandal
Comments on Florida Newspaper Sites
Posted: December 19, 2008
With much of the controversy surrounding Benard Madoff's presence in Florida, it is not surprising that Florida Web sites bore the brunt of anti-Semitic comments posted by users. By far the most active comment board containing anti-Semitic content was the Web site of the Palm Beach Post, a Florida-based newspaper. The Sun-Sentinel, another Florida-based newspaper, also had anti-Semitic comments.
From the Palm Beach Post:
• Adolf wrote, "Just another jew money changer thief. It's been happening for 3,000 years. Trust a jew and this is what will happen. History has proven it over and over and over. Jews have only one god - money."
• Billy Whitebread American wrote, "Very few people wake up one day and decide to hate someone. It results from years or decades of negative experience. Consider that the average middle class person goes through, being surrounded by jews in PBC…. Do most jews treat the common people around them with respect? Y/N? …. Do most jews revel in "getting over" on the rest of society? …. Do jews overdo it with trying to make money on every little thing they can? … What effect on the regular persons view of jews, do you think all of this has over years of exposure to it? Whether you think it is "right" or "wrong" for people to cheer the losses from this fraud, think twice before you dismiss all of it as unprovoked racism."
• William Peals wrote, "Jews ripping off Jews, the economy must really be tough. The gov't will probably bail out these loses like it does to all other Jewish loses."
• Frank Veltner wrote, "Haha, this whole story reads like a holocaust story with the poor jews once again as victims, even though most of them have been getting paid BIG TIME by his fraud over the past 30 years. You wonder why Congressmen and Senators from both parties keep getting re-elected when they kiss AIPAC's butt? Because for every jew like Madoff paying them millions there are a hundred more jews scraping off the top of some other organization. At banks, Corporations, so-called "not-for-profits like NPR and Universities, jews have ensconced themselves so they can direct money to jewish causes. When you read how bad jews were hurt by the guy, you should laugh heartily, he made lots of money for his jew friends over the years and the few that are still holding the bag at this point in time are rare exceptions to the rule…"
• Htos1 wrote, "Ha!The monied NY jewish cabal is destitute."
From the Sun-Sentinel:
• Thieving Bastards wrote, "The SEC is filled with Jewish gatekeepers who routinely turn a blind eye to Jewish financial bandits...It's no conspiracy that the Jews are the source of all financial troubles in the world."
• Adolf commented that Madoff is "just another jew money changer who robbed everyone…Jews worship only one god -- money. They are taught to hoard money from age 13."
• Bigbaby described Madoff as "a jew, jewing fellow jews, who were greedy jews."
