True enough about The Progressives' politics and out of touch manner, but 
on the other hand, I found Matthew Rothschilds' report of his ostracism 
from his own synagogue to be a useful anecdote on Jewish racism and 
chauvinism (aka zionism).

I could give a few more such revolting stories from my own workplace.  So 
one wonders what the #1 racist movement in the USA is today.

-Brad Mayer, "obviously pissed about this",  but it's hardly my reason for 
interest in this list.
