I'd begin efforts to disbar Br'r Cohn ~ he knows better.

not all of us look at you lot up north as freaks but we do understand as to why so many conservatives up there want out.
Just to make you feel better then I hope you remember that we know you’re surrounded by liberals and socialists and kids who think it;s all about them and them getting high or having sex with what ever is around.

I know some very good people from NY State and the City. Must be hell for you. Born and raised a Southerner from Florida. I get my share of BS too. Doesn’t matter your beliefs or passions. People “group” people. Che Carro!
P.S. I don’t believe John Wayne was a Commie either :)
A Cohain? A guaranteed Jew is asking to bar Jews?
He's surely cattle-car material if ever there were one.
Sorry, my Italian is rusty. Che diavolo (Wtf)? Schiaffeggiare! (Slap!)is always appropriate!
Hang in there Miss Marmelstein! This Southern Irish Italian feels your pain :)
Hitler is looking up and smiling.
Another Kapo.

You don’t understand. Abdel might be so offended by having Jews on his jury that he might kill himself.
