    Have you ever noticed how the Jews are at the forefront of those trying to restrict our rights:
    • Rosen
    • Coble
    • Berman
    • Eisner
    • Redstone
    The Jews never create anything. They are the parasites who wedge themselves between the the producer and the consumer. The Jew takes a slice of every pie that passes by. What the Jew hates is that the Internet is cutting him off from his host. The artist can now distribute directly to their fans. The Internet has made the Jew irrelevant. So the Jew trys to buy the politician to do his bidding. The Jew tries to get bought politicians to pass bogus regulations in order to maintain Jew hegemony over the consumer.
