An acknowledgment that Jews are different, and not necessarily in a good way. But at the same time, America is a lot more tolerant today. In 1992, it was 20 percent. Now, Foxman says, it's down to 12 percent. It's more like they get in his way, they're annoying, he just doesn't like them.

But those are polls, I say. Polls told John F. Kennedy in 1960 that his Catholicism wasn't going to be held against him as it was against Al Smith, that he was going to defeat Richard Nixon with 56 percent of the vote. But even if you discount that, the news is good. There was a poll that indicated that 92 percent of the American people would vote for a qualified Jew for president. Even if you discount 20 percent of that, it's still 70 percent, which is pretty good.
