- The real question is on a scale of 1-10, how bigotted are they? My
- honest guess is that Gritz is somewhere between Pat Buchanan and David
- Duke.
-
- The big objection that I've personally had to the posts about Gritz is
- they tend to analyze him as existing in some kind of vacuum. Bigots
- exist about among all ethnic groups. Bigots are particularly important
- among organized criminal activity(i.e. Sicilian the Mafia is _not_ and equal
- opportunity employer).
-
- I tend to think that Gritz blows the relative importance of Jewish
- financial mafia's _all_ out of proportion. Still, given the history of
- the Rothchilds and Meyer Lansky, it is understandable why the
- message might have some serious appeal to certain elements of the
- population. Some of the Left-Wing analysis of the ruling elites border
- on accusations that there is an equally cohesive and important
- WASP mafia. I would like to have these accusations looked at
- with some degree of parity.

- Perhaps criticizing Gritz from a predictable and partisan perspective
- also contributes to the spread of bigotry?
-
- >We have repeatedly presented facts showing statements by Gritz that are

- It isn't just a question of accepting the facts. It is a question of
- asking what context the facts are found in.
