# This is getting ludicrous.  Kahane was in the rather frequent habit of

	While I would prefer that he not do so, the late Rabbi referred to
others, including Jews, even worse.  I do not think name calling is
appropriate for a Rabbi, no matter whom they refer to.  As for being
racist, the late Rabbi never used name calling to refer to peoplejust
because they belonged to oone ethnic group or another.  So he was not
racist.  He was refering to their actions.  Like the late Rabbi, I
think Arab terrorists are dogs (actually worse).  Like the late Rabbi,
I do not think anyone is a dog just because of their ethnic group.

	I do not know why you make that claim, since it is not true.

	Actually I do it after about the nth (n varies from time to time)
article you write that pisses me off (on any subject).  This time I
may have used it too long.  It will be gone shortly (but probably not
today) to return when I feel like it.

	As to the context, your remark is rubbush.  I still have a copy of
the article, in which you also threaten me, which I have posted from
time to time and sent to others via email.  There is no misconstruing.
To the point, your support of organizations like JCOME and (I think)
the New Jewish (sic) Agenda show that you subscribe to the Hilerite
big lie theory.
