Just because

[klook]

8. Also this guy:

He was very loyal to his boss, too.


Like Miller's boss, a foot problem kept him out of the military, but that didn't stop him from being intensely militaristic.

18. this guy

And he is a very scary dude in & of his own self. The white nationalist, anti-Semetic 'Cosmopolitan' usage, not so subtle dog whistle.

[longship]

9. He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.

Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces…

Quint's speech about the USS Indianapolis. From Jaws

That's all I have to say about this utter douchebag.

10. Jews have often been portrayed as vampires.

It harkens back to the blood libels. I think Miller is a disgusting POS, but this is comparison is unseemly.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Miller is jewish? Had no idea.

You are reading into it more than I posted.

[Behind the Aegis]

13. Doesn't matter if you knew or not.

Now you do. You also now know the vampire theme is one used in many an anti-Semitic meme. I wasn't being accusatory, I was being explanatory.

[trof]

15. Me neither. Never heard of the Jew-vampire connection either.

Live and learn, I guess.

16. He grew up in a liberal California Jewish household and just went nuts starting in HS

I am sure that his parents are horrified at his evolution.

19. for the last 4 decades I have tried to read everything related to Anti-Semiticism and have

never heard of this connection, so I don't think that the word "often" applies.

According to the Wikipedia article on the folk origins of revenant/vampire folklore there are historical references within the Jewish tradition of "Alukah" which seems synonymous with vampirism, so anything related to those references would not be "anti-Semitic".

The Hebrew word "Alukah" (literal translation is "leech&quot is synonymous with vampirism or vampires, as is "Motetz Dam" (literally, "blood sucker&quot . Later vampire traditions appear among diaspora Jews in Central Europe, in particular the medieval interpretation of Lilith.[22] In common with vampires, this version of Lilith was held to be able to transform herself into an animal, usually a cat, and charm her victims into believing that she is benevolent or irresistible.[22] However, she and her daughters usually strangle rather than drain victims, and in the Kabbalah, she retains many attributes found in vampires. A late 17th- or early 18th-century Kabbalah document was found in one of the Ritman library's copies of Jean de Pauly's translation of the Zohar. The text contains two amulets, one for male (lazakhar), the other for female (lanekevah). The invocations on the amulets mention Adam, Eve, and Lilith, Chavah Rishonah and the angels—Sanoy, Sansinoy, Smangeluf, Shmari'el, and Hasdi'el. A few lines in Yiddish are shown as dialog between the prophet Elijah and Lilith, in which she has come with a host of demons to kill the mother, take her newborn and "to drink her blood, suck her bones and eat her flesh". She informs Elijah that she will lose power if someone uses her secret names, which she reveals at the end.[23]

Other Jewish stories depict vampires in a more traditional way. In "The Kiss of Death", the daughter of the demon king Ashmodai snatches the breath of a man who has betrayed her, strongly reminiscent of a fatal kiss of a vampire. A rare story found in Sefer Hasidim #1465 tells of an old vampire named Astryiah who uses her hair to drain the blood from her victims. A similar tale from the same book describes staking a witch through the heart to ensure she does not come back from the dead to haunt her enemies.[24]

I would be very interested in anything you have that refers to a sustained widely held systemic reference to vampires being Jewish in nature.

The article details about a dozen folk traditions that have strong revenant/vampire folk roots and the reference to it being anti Semitic seems obscure. For that reason I don't think comparing Miller to a vampire is unseemly, rather it seems that he is the incarnation Alukah that Jewish folk stories are meant to scare people about.

11. He resembles Tom Cotton with his deadly serious ruthless demeanor

Their glibly robotic spinning of inaccurate propaganda is chilling to say the least

Facial expression looks like he was raised in the Soviet regime.
