problem? it was a statement u arse , i mean this is the forum to DISCUSS politics and other controversies right?
Wow, resorting to profane name calling are we? Seem to have some trigger happy buttons there for someone interested in discussion.
I stated no such imagined problem. I simply find the idea of getting any real information on this type of subject through this type of media to be an exercise with extremely limited returns if any. Therefore, I found that premise amusing.

It's a longstanding anti-semitic myth that the Rothschilds run the world.
I agree it may be a myth but what the hell makes the myth anti-semitic? Simply because they come from a Jewish background?
Everything I've read about them implies they are NOT religious and DO NOT practice the Jewish faith. It is undeniable that The Rothschilds have had tremendous power and influence over the most recent centuries and it's extremely dangerous to label people racists and bigots simply because they question a person of power who is of a certain ethnicity or religion.
Or do you simply flat out deny their wealth and history? That seems even loonier. It's actually pretty remarkable.

You may note that I did not accuse any indificual of being anti-semitic. I don't deny that it's possible for some ignorant people to subscribe to this kind of idea without being anti-semitic. On the other hand, the myth of the all-powerful Jewish money managers pulling the strings is a perennial theme of anti-semitic propaganda, specifically including these claims about the Rothschilds.

IOW, like with Obama, even when someone couldn't care less about a person's race or religion, that prejudice is what they're going to be accused or suspected of.
