Serious question because I can't comprehend that

If someone hated all Jews and believed they were behind sinister conspiracies why would they want any Jew in a position of power?

Simple, someone could hate a group of people but decide it isn't worth impeding one's own career.

Simple. You can believe consciously or subconsciously that Sanders is somehow an 'exceptional' case. This isn't hard.

This is why BRTD hates it when people call Jeff Sessions a racist.  After all, Sessions hired a Black man!

I don't think Ellison is an anti-Semite but in fairness this isn't the greatest argument against his being one. Racists voted for Obama as well.

Yeah, this is a crappy argument for a true claim. Like claiming the earth is round because it's brown like a round coconut.

Sanders is only nominally Jewish. He doesn't believe in the religion and doesn't really embrace his heritage very much. Not that there's any issue with that, but it would take a very vehement anti-Semite (which Ellison certainly isn't) to make this a reason that trumps ideology in terms of voting or not voting a certain way.

As to anti-Senites supporting Sandrs, I got nothin'.

Also George Wallace (he of "segregation forever") endorsed Jesse Jackson for president, if I recall.

Can we stop with the "Bernie Sanders is a socialist!" meme? I don't like the guy, but you're just throwing a random term out for something that he definitely isn't.

An anti-Senite is someone who opposes the existence of the Senate?

Nah, an anti-Senite is someone who opposes Senility in politicians. Which is a disgusting ageist attack on the Bern, and BRTD should feel ashamed for it! Angry

I think I'm going to start referring to age-related discrimination as "anti-senitism" from this point forward.

You can not see Sanders as Jewish if you really wanted to. He's not a practicing Jew so it's not unbelievable and anti-semite would still back him.

Even racists usually have someone who is "a good black person."

indeed, this is exactly like someone saying "I can't be racist, I have a black friend!".  You can totally be an anti-Semite and support Sanders, just like there were black haters supporting Obama and women haters that supported Hillary and douche haters that supported Trump.

There were people who hate whites who supported Trump too.
