So Joe Biden is an anti-Semite too? Why am I not surprised. In fact, the entire Democrat party has become Jew haters, including the self hating Jews who still call themselves Democrats. According to Free Beacon, the term ‘Shylock’ comes from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, in which the villain, Shylock, is a greedy Jewish money-lender that asks for a “pound of flesh” as payment.

“Shylock represents the medieval stereotype about Jews and remains an offensive characterization to this day. The Vice President should have been more careful,” Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman said.
Shylock is also the Jewish slur used in the movie American History X from the 1990’s.

As usual, the media (except Fox News) has ignored Biden’s anti-Semitic remark. It’s just Joe being Joe you know?
Vice President Joe Biden’s casual use of an expression some deem anti-Semitic has drawn sharp criticism from the Anti-Defamation League.
Biden referred to bankers that take advantage of military men and women serving overseas as “Shylocks.”
The term comes from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, in which the villain, Shylock, is a greedy Jewish money-lender that asks for a “pound of flesh” as payment.
“Shylock represents the medieval stereotype about Jews and remains an offensive characterization to this day. The Vice President should have been more careful,” Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman said.
Biden was speaking to the Legal Services Corporation, a non-profit group that offers legal aid to those who cannot afford it.
