Joe Biden versus . . . "Shylock(s)"
Posted by Olog-hai on Wed Sep 17 15:14:43 2014 fiogf49gjkf0d Associated Press Biden says 'Shylocks' was poor choice of words By Josh Lederman Sep 17, 2014 1:25 PM EDT Vice President Joe Biden says he made a poor choice of words when he referred to unscrupulous moneylenders who took advantage of U.S. troops as "Shylocks." Biden was speaking Tuesday to a legal aid group when he described how some troops serving overseas were facing foreclosures at home. He used the word "Shylocks," a reference to the villainous Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice." The Anti-Defamation League, which works to combat anti-Semitism, chided Biden for using an offensive, stereotypical term. The group's national director, Abe Foxman, said Biden should have been more careful but acknowledged Biden's strong ties to the Jewish community. Biden says in a statement that Foxman is correct and it was a poor choice of words. The ADL says Biden spoke with Foxman about the incident on Wednesday.

Frein's obviously a leftist, since he likes to dress up as an Eastern European soldier.
