[Boston-editorial] should we hide this?

[Matthew Williams]

Hello all --

I want to check in with folks about hiding this particular post 
http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/39707/index.php . This 
poster has regularly put up posts involving complex conspiracy 
theories, placing blame for all the world's problems of Israel and 
Zionists. We agreed a while back to hide all such posts, even if they 
were not explicitly anti-Semitic, because they have their roots in 
right-wing conspiracy theories (where "Zionists" is often used as a 
codeword for all Jews) and are essentially anti-Semitic.

So now this person (who posts under both "researcher" and "American 
Woman") is blaming everything on the Jesuits who are apparently behind 
the whole Zionist plot ... I would like to hide this on the same 
grounds that we hide posts involving conspiracy theories about Jews--it 
represents a dangerous sort of anti-Catholic prejudice that goes back 
to the deep-seated bigotry against Catholics that existed in this 
country for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. (Of course, 
people are free to make substantial critiques of the Catholic Church, 
just as people are free to make substantial critiques of Israel, 
instead of nutty conspiracy theories.) I just wanted to check in and 
see if anyone objected before I hid it.
