It is not everyday that I happen to read something in the blogging world or on the internet that gets my dander up. But, I just happened to catch something over on VDare.com that really had me seeing red.

Steve Sailer over at VDare.com happens to highlight a posting of Matthew Yglesias over at Slate that links to an article by a Christopher T. Mahoney who used to be the former Vice Chairman of Moody’s.

In this article, he, of course, rips on the right and the austrian school of economics; which is fine, he is a liberal and they really do not like the idea of hard money. But this quote below goes further than that, it is a stereotyping of Jews and Gentiles. Check it out:

Why is the Right so in love with hard money, low inflation, and high unemployment? Here is my answer: because they do not believe that there is such a thing as a free lunch. You could spread out a smorgasbord of caviar, salmon, lobster and Dom Perignon, and they would turn their heads and eat a cheese sandwich. Reflation is easy and thus sinful. It’s that Protestant thing. The only people who understand monetary policy are Jews and Catholics.

Now, let me ask you a simple question. Could you imagine the outrage, if someone, like me; wrote about the travails of the fact that Jews basically run the federal reserve bank? Which is sort of true. Anyhow, would I not be condemned as an anti-semite? I have been, I know what that is all about. So, why does this guy get away with basically saying that non-Catholics don’t get banking and money? Is that not a bigoted statement? I believe it is, and think this man needs to apologize for this sort of rubbish.

Why, you ask? Because it plays into a bunch of negative stereotypes about Jews. Secondly, it strikes me a greatly bigoted towards Protestant Christians. I mean, if I cannot get away with making asinine comments about Jews on this blog, which I would never do. Then this guy should not be allowed to get away with writing this sort of rubbish at all.

It amazes me how liberals just love pushing division among Americans like this here. It is their MO and they’ve been doing it for years; but this is just outright blatant and it should not be tolerated.
