    It would not surprise me that someone on his team (or him) follows that sort of thing and would repost content from there. Does that mean Trump is anti-Semitic? It's possible but not conclusive.

    Still it does put his campaign in a very dark light, you're right. It's not the star that is disturbing, it is the reposting of content from such a site or the fact they are even paying attention to such a site for content.

    Holy Jehovah. It's really veering into the absurd. He could not *try* to run a worse campaign. Seriously. From the lack of clear-headed decision making, the constant gaffes, the lack of fundraising, etc. ... I have never seen anything like it.

    I do start to wonder all over again about the convention.

    Asking that one of two major presidential candidates not repeatedly tweet racist and anti-Semitic messages is not "PC," RocketsLegend. It's a plea for sanity, something your candidate makes a mockery of.

    You know there was nothing " anti-Semitic" about that tweet but since you already made up your mind about Trump, you will use anything to paint Trump as a racist. Very pathetic of you but then again today's liberals are pathetic.

    Anti-semetic RL posting anti-semetic videos trying to project and get on me about calling "Some israelis rude."

    Dude has something to hide, why else would he bring that up and post a video from a nazi.

    Were you anti-semetic before Trump or after?

    See you, just nailed it right there, you wouldn't need to project and be so defensive. You could have just apologized saying you didn't agree with the anti-semetic message in your video but you didn't. You think me saying some Israelis are rude is any indication lmao. You sealed your own guilt.

    Wow he really has a few screws loose if he is coming to the defense of the asbestos industry regarding 9/11. That is one of the most ludicrous and widely debunked claims.

    That's not my video and you know it but this is your sneaky way to call me anti-Semitic. The content of this video has nothing to do with Judaism. There are real anti-Semitic posters on this forum why don't go bother them. And fyi I am very pro Isreal and their right to be a Jewish state and I don't agree with you calling them rude.

    You can say that about any race or religion but why point out one certain group of being rude unless you have strong dislike of them which I believe LP does.

    Hillary Clinton is fighting a rearguard action to avoid further damage to her standing with the crucial Jewish vote in her campaign for a Senate seat after a claim that she once used an ethnic insult against one of Bill Clinton's aides.
    A book out today claims that 26 years ago she called Paul Fray, her husband's campaign manager at the time, a "****ing Jew b*stard".


    Mrs Clinton denied the allegation and pressed the president into supporting her, but the author, Jerry Oppenheimer, said: "Three witnesses have now publicly acknowledged that she said it."

    The Jewish vote accounts for 14% of the New York state electorate and is being courted assiduously by Mrs Clinton and her Republican opponent, Rick Lazio.

    Mr Clinton won 80% of the bloc - traditionally sympathetic to the Democrats - in the last presidential election, but recent polls show that his wife has the support of only about 50%.

    "I have never said anything like that, ever," Mrs Clinton said. "I have in the past certainly, you know maybe, called somebody a name. But I have never used an ethnic, racial, anti-Semitic, bigoted, discriminatory, prejudiced, accusation against anybody. I've never done it. I've never thought it."

    Mr Clinton, who is trying to bring about a Middle East peace deal at Camp David, backed her up. "I was there on election night in 1974 and the charge is simply not true," he said.

    "She might have called him a b*stard, I wouldn't rule that out. She's never claimed that she was pure on profanity. But I've never heard her tell a joke with an ethnic connotation. She's so fanatic about it. It's not in her."

    Referring to a "vast rightwing conspiracy" in previous elections, he said: "This is part of a pattern. They couldn't defeat me politically and they can't defeat her politically so they go after us personally."

    Accounts of the dispute on election night 1974, when Mr Clinton failed to win a congressional seat representing Arkansas, have appeared before without the ethnic insult.

    Those present at the inquest into the defeat were Mr Clinton, his then-girlfriend Hillary, his campaign manager Paul Fray, and Mr Fray's wife, Mary Lee. Neill McDonald, a campaign worker, was just outside the room and claims to have heard everything.

    The Frays and Mr McDonald are the three witnesses on whom Mr Oppenheimer, a former reporter on the National Inquirer tabloid, relies for the passage in his book State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

    Mr Fray, 57, said yesterday: "I was a little defensive about it. I looked to the floor thinking 'How do I respond?' I didn't mind being called a son-of-a-b****, but when it came to attacking my culture, that's a whole 'nother ballgame.

    "You've got to understand it was the heat of the moment. We knew we had lost. It was a case of people lashing out at one another and it just got to that point."

    Mr Fray is actually a Southern Baptist but says that he is one-eighth Jewish through his great-grandfather.

    Mrs Fray said that her husband's recollection of the meeting, which lasted about an hour, was accurate. Mr McDonald said: "I don't know what provoked it or what. I just remember that one little comment."

    Polls consistently show that Mr Lazio, a previously obscure congressman from Long Island, is neck-and-neck with Mrs Clinton.

    He entered the race in place of the much better known New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who withdrew because of health and marital problems.

    Mrs Clinton has already had trouble with the Jewish vote and was booed when she took part in an Israel Day parade in Manhattan.

    She was criticised last year during a visit to the West Bank for failing to rebuke Yasser Arafat's wife immediately for saying that Israel was poisoning Palestinian children.

    Instead, she and Suba Arafat exchanged kisses.
