Even though studies consistently show that conservative evangelical Christians are no more likely to be anti-Semitic than others (the ADL, for example, notes based on years of study that neither religion nor political ideology drive anti-Semitism, and here notes more specifically that "ADL polls on anti-Semitism in America show no greater inclination of Evangelical Christians to harbor hateful views of Jews than other groups in American society"), many American Jews, especially liberal, secular American Jews, have a disturbing tendency to suspect all evangelical Christians of being hostile to Jews.
Without question, most of my supposedly "liberal" friends are the first to be spouting some rather despicable words regarding evangelicals - even though, I can promise you, they do not know any personally. This is just another manifestation of the "I'm certainly smarter and more well informed (because I read the NY Times and watch CNN) and have the right to say this" attitude that is so well entrenched amongst the pseudo-liberal, Jewish-guilt set..... whom, by the way, think Obama is the second (first?) coming.
