I'm pretty taken aback by the conclusion of this Easterbrook column.
Collective responsibility is just the flip side of collective blame. Both poisonous. Both bigoted.
This was the kind of thing that got Congressman Moran in trouble, but with Moran it was more just clumsy expression of what could have been a valid observation. Easterbrook runs right out and says that those rich money-grubbing Jews shouldn't be promoting violence because as Jews they have a greater responsibility. Or something.
The joys of being a religious, racial, or ethnic minority - always open to this kind of criticism by idiots like Easterbrook.
Shorter Easterbrook: I don't like Tarantino, and I blame the Jews.
