In Stalinist USSR, anti-semitism was punishable by death. The Soviets killed more people than the Nazis in the name of anti-semitism. Criticizing the communist government and criticizing Jews were treated in the same light.
America is creeping toward this kind of nonsense. It would not surprise me that in 20 years that America will have more people in prisons than Stalinist USSR ever had. The US Govt is building the surveillance state for a reason and its not to fight terrorism. The way the wealth is shifting toward the top 10%, it won't be long before anti-elitism will be seen as hate speech as well.
