"Believe it or not. Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul were both Jewish. I was shocked to find, most of the original Christians were Jewish."

What year did you (Chuck Woolery) drop out? Stop telling us stuff we already know.
And what the hell difference does it make if they were Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, or atheist?

Now you're going to say you never knew Karl Marx was born in Germany. (not Russian)

"Lenin's father, Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov, was from a family of serfs; his ethnic origins remain unclear, with suggestions being made that he was Russian, Chuvash, Mordvin, or Kalmyk. Despite this lower-class background he had risen to middle-class status, studying physics and mathematics at Kazan Imperial University before teaching at the Penza Institute for the Nobility. Ilya married Maria Alexandrovna Blank in mid-1863. Well educated and from a relatively prosperous background, she was the daughter of a German–Swedish woman and a Russian Jewish physician who had converted to Christianity. It is likely that Lenin was unaware of his mother's Jewish ancestry, which was only discovered by his sister Anna after his death."

Except for the fact that he's a right-wing anti-Semitic nutjob.

I don't know if this is still the case or not, but his tweets used to be horrendously illiterate. In one, he used "their" when he meant "there" and I called him out on it. Been proudly blocked ever since. Had I not known about him being a deplorable, I might have left him alone. As it was, I couldn't help myself.

communist sympathies -- "look at who ruined our country!" Even some communists, for that matter; they say Russian communism could have worked if it weren't for the Jews. If anybody gave a shit about Chuck Woolery I'd think this was a thing.
