Can somebody shut up ALAN GREENSPAN?

Quote from day7793:

ALAN GREENSPAN should not try to screw financial markets and sway them and jockey them for his own benifit. He is hurting lot more than helping with his yelps. He is a Jew, he is hungry for money any which way he can scoop. He doesn't cares what happens to small investors whose accounts were hit today and my own portfolio took a dive down the alley.

IF there is a recession, let it come, but we can't sit in fear, and fear the fear itself.

BTW, that is the second time you said "He is a Jew". I for one am offended, and I'm not even Jewish. Am I the only one who caught that?!??!

Learn to have an intelligent discussion/debate without resorting to attacking someone's belief system.

Why are you making an issue with that? Is he not a Jew?

Judaism is not just a belief system, it's away of life. I live in an area which has the highest per capita proportion of Jews in Australia. I've lost count of how many times people around here have asked me for some "insider" sharemarket tips, confidential information etc.

If I refuse, I am branded an anti-semite! Bizarre, but true!

I've never experienced this dynamic anywhere.

Because it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the discussion.

I don't care if Greenspan is Jewish, Russian Orthodox, or an atheist - its irrelevant. YOU made an issue of it when you said, "he's a Jew, he's money hungry etc". It was derogatory in nature and completely uncalled for.

And I would say the same thing no matter what religion you used and what derogatory comment you followed it up with. It has no bearing on the topic at hand.

If you think someone is greedy, call them greedy - but don't claim that has anything to do with religion.

I have lived in NY(largest per capita outside of Israel) my whole life and and never gotten this treatment from jews. In fact the jews I thought would shun me i.e hardcore hasidic`s tend to be very friendly.

You are up in arms with something totally unnecessary.

I made less than savory comments on ALAN GREENSPAN because he has a big mouth and his negative comments are not needed in todays markets. It doesn't matter what his religion is, but he is certainly greedy.

On the other hand I admire another Jew named James Cramer. He is doing a lot for an average investor.

What issue can you make out of that?
