61. +1. This is, basically, a new version of the "Jewish conspirators control the government" line...

...which has been an antisemitic stereotype practically forever, but particularly over the last 80 years, both here in the US and in Europe. I'll give some people here the benefit of the doubt, they may not be doing it INTENTIONALLY so much as they're just generally paranoid about everything. But the fact remains that this argument boils down the belief that anyone who's Jewish and involved in politics is engaging in a secret conspiracy to control the US government on behalf of Israel, a claim which is basically pulled straight out of neo-Nazi and white supremacist dogma. I don't think there'd be any tolerance for those saying that any and all black people in government are secretly conspiring to steer the US for the benefit of Africa, or the same statement about Asians; rather, it would be recognized as the troglodyte freeper-think that it is.
