Some people really, really don’t know when to shut up. Mark Williams is one of those people.
You may remember Williams as the guy who was fired as spokesman for the Tea Party Express after he wrote an unbelievably racist “satire” of the NAACP. He had gotten into hot water before that for saying that Muslims worshipped a “monkey god.” Now, he’s found a new ethnic minority to insult: Jews.
Currently the leader of the tea party support group Citizens for Constitutional Liberty, Williams weighed in on the New York mosque ruckus by criticizing New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, both Jews, and calling them “domestic enemies” and “Judenrats” for supporting the mosque. “Judenrats” is an insulting term that was used to describe Jews who cooperated with the Nazis. Williams told Talking Points Memo that Bloomberg and Stringer deserved the title of “Judenrats” because, “Bloomberg and Stringer are exactly that, selling out not just Jews but all civilized mankind to the 21 century Nazi ideology of radical Islam as represented by Ground Zero Mosque.” O-kay, Mark; now please put down the weapon and calm down.
Looks like Williams, who has stated he wants to be part of Tea Party leadership again, may have to wait a lot longer for his wishes to come true, although, as of yet, no statement condemning Williams’ anti-Semitism has been released by any Tea Party spokespersons.

Lost in all of this is the fact that the only PROVEN terrorist in recent American history was a White American, Timothy McVeigh. Nothing at all has ever been PROVEN about who or what was behind the towers attack. The only thing that is for sure is that there are some confounded mysteries, and people like this idiot base their whole platform on the ASSUMPTION that Muslim ideology was behind the towers attacks. PROVE IT! I could reduce you to tears with doubts. But I won’t go there.
These fools are using the same racist hysteria that the Nazi’s used to draw attention to THEMSELVES for the purpose of advancing their money and power. Everything always comes down to that.
