So Jon Leibowitz thinks jews look like goblins, got it.

I had a co-worker that said I was racist because I said Obama looked like a monkey. I countered that no one cared when GW Bush was compared to a chimp. She said that Whites say all blacks look like monkeys. I pointed out I didn't say all blacks, I was talking about Obama only, she was the one that felt all blacks looked like monkeys. That ended the conversation.
