I read a book of musical history recently that talked about the early 20th century. It really opened my eyes to just how ugly anti-semitism got and what horrors ensued. I mean obviously I knew about the atrocities from junior high history class. But you put it in your mind that these were just the actions of some crazy military and political leaders getting some boon from a scape goat game. Nope. When you read about the actual culture of europe (viz. music, for example) at the time, the hate gets appallingly deep and dyed in the wool.

Which is why its so important to to keep ass clowns like this guy in check.
