"42 per cent of people they polled internationally believed “Jews exploit the past to extort money”.

If you can stand it, it's kind of interesting to see the other things he said that day (after Mass election)

LIMBAUGH: Scott Brown had a lot of success with independents, and that's -- that's what Jewish liberals like to call themselves when they're asked. They call themselves independents before they'll refer to themselves as -- as liberals.

[firerosearien]

This.
