Salon has an article by Glenn Greenwald argueing that America's enemies are right and America is wrong and criminal. He has assembled a number of unrelated quotes from the New York Times in the last twenty years, pretending to demonstrate among other things that Al Qaida is an American creation (he almost implies that al Quaida's destruction of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was a covert CIA operation) and that Pakistanis are right in hating America. I dont care about the factual correctness of what he writes, because fishing in a pool of twenty years of reporting American foreign activity you can find anything you want, but the tone of the article, which clearly adopts the enemy's perspective and justifies it. The bottom line is that Salon is publishing antiamerican propaganda. With such Americans, you need no enemies.

Yes, it's a good thing that there are no self-hating leftists in Israel, only in America. Thank God. (sarcasm alert)
BTW, you notice that the whole Dubai murder thing has dropped off the radar.

The poster makes no sense - when was there ever "enemy propaganda" against Protestants in America in WWII?

The poster was probably written by a pragmatic Jew, who realized that the best way to discourage anti-Jewish sentiment was to act as if Jews weren't the only potential victims of such a campaign.
When you contemplate the current US administration, it is clear the country needs no enemies.
Anon.
The Dubai operation is still causing problems. Australia expulsed the Mossad attache, London the same, and the affair is yet alive.
Regarding the poster, I believe it made sense at the time.
I agree w/ Fred - originally the poster probably said "Catholics and Jews" and then the author threw in Protestants in the 1940's version of PC, but there was never any anti-Protestant sentiment in the US to begin with, much less anti-Protestant sentiment stirred up by the Nazis.

Interesting that the poster does not mention Negroes. Nor Mexicans.
