Deplorables target Jewish Mayor in Virginia with anti-Semitic tweets

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The mayor of the Virginia college town of Charlottesville was the target of anti-Semitic tweets on Sunday after speaking out against white nationalists who converged on a local park carrying blazing torches the night before.

Mayor Mike Signer said two protests led on Saturday by Richard Spencer, a leader of the “alt-right” movement, came on the same day the city held its annual Festival of Cultures event, which celebrates diversity in the home of the University of Virginia.

1. No surprises.

Jews are an easy group to attack because it raises almost no one's ire. More and more anti-Semites are coming out of the woodwork. Personally, I think too many thought/think Jews aren't a "real" minority and anti-Semitism isn't a "real" form of discrimination/bigotry. This wave of anti-Semitic acts and behavior is coming as a shock to many Jews, who themselves are quite complacent and worked up about bigotry against every other group, but never their own. It is going to take something really big, actually, maybe a few "somethings" before people actually give a shit.
