I honestly didn't know if I would be back to DU unless I saw some pushback to that antisemitic nonsense. So, thank you, Odin, for brining this to light in a larger forum.

I find it difficult to invest much time in getting outraged enough to post about anything around here anymore, since there is way too much work to do in the real world to actually move a progressive agenda forward in order to change the world.

Some folks just have too much damn time on their hands and if they invested as much time in the real world as they do on an anonymous message board they might actually see the change they so "passionately" desire when posting online.
