Sometimes we get sent the strangest photos without context, and it’s necessary for us to figure out what the hell is going on.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) When I look at the Facebook meme on your right, shared by the Colorado Jewish Republicans, I see the same kind of raw bigotry that Jewish people have faced for centuries.
