Can you cite a specific incident of government sponsored anti-semitism in the entire history of the US? Throughout much of our history people came here precisely to escape the general social climate of Europe. IIRC it was not legal for a jew to have a government position in the UK until late in the 19th century. Benjamin Disraelis found it convenient to convert to Anglicanism.

I have heard about clutching at straws but this is pathetic.
and when you talk about the enrire history of the US.... you have only been around five minutes... and given the amount of equality and liberal tendancies towards peoples of African decent (yes we banned slavery before you imagine that), I`m not just talking about slavery but also infecting them with disease to see what happens [in the last 50 years], and lets not talk about the indiginous peoples of north America and how well you treated them. Since the beginning your country has been a fighting ground where different ethnic groups would abuse each other.
So leave the high and mighty attitude at the door. You want to believe everything your spoon fed great, but don`t chastise the rest of the world for viewing the facts and then making their minds up.
If there is a backward right wing country in the world it will probably be right outside which ever window you look out of.
