Wow, it only took 5 posts for the race card to get pulled in this thread. The costumes suck. I don't care what race/religion/nationality they are.
No offense, but living under the nazis for 4 years and watching your neighbors hauled away to extermination camps may slightly affect your viewpoint on free speech, especially when you've witnessed first hand what the consequences can be of that speech.

Why is religion even being discussed? Some douches dressed their kids up in an abhorrent costume. Who gives a crap about what their religion is.
As has been pointed out many times in this thread, you need to familiarize yourself with the posting history of this antisemitic poster in order to understand the replies.
Is this thread about 24107 or Purim costumes?
It is about being smart enough to realize how people are trying to influence perceptions, which is the real art of politics after all, isn't it?
Not all do have the intelligence necessary to consider the source by the looks of it, but some do.
ironically, you've done more to make this thread about the jews than the OP ...

Well, I probably grew up in a different time than you.
Back in the 60s, we fought against such bigotry by shining the light of day on it rather than aiding the bigotry by attacking those who point it out.
As someone else pointed out, you didn't combat the views of the OP, but just made the issue about Jewishness. Which just caters to his agenda
I see connections and patterns rather than an isolated post. It is treating each post as if they were unrelated that truly plays into his agenda, not exposing the pattern.

And in all of your wisdom you did exactly the OP wanted you to do: make this about jewishness
They are not Jewish douchebags, they are just douchebags.
Depends actually. If they are Jewish, then the are Jewish douchebags. It's just that they're not douchebags because they're Jewish but rather Jewish and douchebags.
They are douchebags who happen to be Jewish. The Jewishness is irrelevant to the douchebaggery.
Yes, that would be my point. They'd still be Jewish douchebags by property of being both Jewish and douchebags simultaneously. But being Jewish doesn't make one a douchebag.
But I'm technically correct here, and that's the best kind of correct.
But I'm metaphorically correct, which is the intelligent way of being correct :2razz:
You'll never make it as a bureaucrat with that attitude. :2razz:

Sorry dude, I'm not that interested in it. As I saw it, the guy said nothing against Jewish people anywhere. Just called it how I saw it.As has been pointed out many times in this thread, you need to familiarize yourself with the posting history of this antisemitic poster in order to understand the replies.
If someone (the parents I imagine) felt that the recent US intervention in the mideast (ie removing Saddam) was of great benefit to Israel and caused by the Twin Towers, then I can see where they might think it was a suitable Purim costume from the description above... an "act of God" that ultimately resulted in something that helped preserve them from their enemies.
