Speaking of a confluence of conservative laziness and anti-Semitic propaganda, have you guys heard of that Washington Post "reporter" named Bernie Bernstein?

[quote=Some guy in the NYT comments section]
"I’m a reporter for The Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old, willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5,000 and $7,000. We will not be fully investigating these claims however we will make a written report."
There are so many holes in that telephoned narrative, an elephant could walk through them. Yet despite the speciousness of the story, people were willing to believe it. That depressing fact speaks to willingness to believe the worst about Jews and also willingness to believe the unbelievable. And the prevelance of illogic, which fuels both bigotry and unworthy candidates like Roy Moore and Donald Trump, is creating pathologies from which this nation will ail long after any upcoming elections.
