are we doomed to repeat history yet ?
its only 15% now but that in itself is a chilling figure.
I guess this should not be surprising given the constant negativity in the press and from the administrration but its painful to see more of the radical left succumbing to this sickening green eyed monster.

MYFOXNY.COM - Swastikas were found painted on the facades of the Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst branches of the Queens Library and on the door of Congregation Tifereth Israel on Thursday.
The Anti-Defamation League today condemned the anti-Semitic graffiti. The ADL says there were 133 anti-Jewish incidents reported across New York City in 2010.
A nationwide ADL survey released just yesterday found that anti-Semitic attitudes have risen in America.
The ADL survey found that 15 percent of Americans - nearly 35 million adults - hold deeply anti-Semitic views. That's up three percent from 2009.
"The fact that anti-Semitic attitudes have increased significantly over the past two years is troubling and raises questions about the impact of broader trends in America - financial insecurity, social uncertainty, the decline in civility and the growth of polarization - on attitudes toward Jews," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
19-percent answered "probably true" to the statement "Jews have too much control/influence on Wall Street," an increase from 14-percent in 2009.
Several cases of anti-Semitism have been documented at various Occupy Wall Street across the country.
The survey also found that anti-Semitic views among the African-American population have remained steady, but are consistently higher than the general population.
In 2011, 29-percent of African-Americans expressed strongly anti-Semitic views, according to the survey.
