General Jew

Wow, my appearance on C-SPAN was interesting.

I expected to dislike the Heritage Foundation’s John Tkacik, who proved pretty affable—though our politics are pretty far apart.

Tkacik and I were having a civil debate about the significance of recent remarks by a Chinese General named Zhu (pronouced /joo/).

Things took a decidedly bizarre turn at 2:33:25. The caller suggested that he wanted to talk about “General /joo/ … as in J-E-W.”

Yeah, it was pretty much open phones for anti-Semites for the rest of the hour.
