Just as I figured Alex Jones would do about the Virginia shooting...

Shoot off his own bazoo and make a complete ass of himself.

Alex Jones Ties 'Bitch' Hillary Clinton And 'Race War' Obama To Virginia Shooting

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 8/27/2015 12:05 pm

Right-wing pundit Alex Jones is not happy about Hillary Clinton’s call to combat gun violence following the fatal shooting of a Virginia journalist and cameraman during a live interview, calling her a “bitch” on his “InfoWars” program yesterday. After repeatedly calling Clinton a “witch,” he finally broke down: “Hey Hillary, you got bodyguards. Are their guns bad too? Why can’t I have a gun to protect myself, you bitch?” Jones also claimed that the shooter was inspired by the Obama administration, which he said has been “pushing race war and now blaming the Second Amendment.”

In common usage, yes, it does refer almost exclusively to bigotry against Jews. nomorenomore08 Aug 2015 #10

start claiming it's a hoax perpetuated by Obama administration "crisis actors"

Alex Jones is one guy that deserves to get the shit kicked out of him every time he sets foot out in public.

What is worse is when his lunacy is pimped by the left as "truthtopower". Thankfully, most have come to the realization he and his shit site "infowars" are nothing more than bigotry and conspiracies. As a side note, how interesting rightwingwatch watches all kinds of forms of bigotry, except anti-Semitism. Hmmm.

...did you read the links? The stories aren't about anti-Semitism; it wasn't until page 3 that there was an actual story which anti-Semitism was the focus. I found the same thing when I ran "Jew" as a search. Neither, "anti-Semitism" nor "Jew/Jewish" are tags, unlike a variety of other bigotries.

That's why there are so many stories about anti-Muslim bigotry as well.

Anti-Semitism is only limited to "anti-Jewish hatred." I can't believe in 2015, on this site, once again, I have to provide the actual definition of

an·ti-Sem·i·tism
/ˌan(t)ēˈseməˌtizəm/
noun
hostility to or prejudice against Jews.

Technically Arabs are a "Semitic" people as well, but on a practical level, you're the one who's correct here.

While the term may be an etymological mistake made when it was coined, it is used to describe bigotry against Jews, not Semites. Personally, I find it distasteful when people try to redefine it, much the same way people claim they aren't "homophobic" because they don't "fear" gay people. My point was RWW has a set of topics, none of which includes "anti-Semitism" nor "Jewish/Jews/Judaism" unlike various other bigotries.
