Do you agree with this Ben Franklin quote?
"I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation was founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal.
For over 1700 hundred years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only amongst themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race. If you do not exclude them from these United States in the Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance, and jeopardized our liberty.
If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves. Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will or how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise.
Ben Franklin, during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
And we should trust Jewish sources that claim it's a lie because....
The so-called "Franklin Prophecy" was "debunked" by Jews...what a joke. We should let Franklin's wise words speak for itself.

Ah, the absurd Franklin Prophecy that has been debunked long ago, are you really gullible enough to believe Ben Franklin said anything of the sort?
If so, then did you know George Washington called you an asshole?
The irony here is that Ben Franklin was really more pissed at the Germans
"why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion."
-Ben Franklin
Now do you agree with that quote?
Edit: If you are really convinced that Ben Franklin really said such a thing, I'm sure you will be able to correct the Wikipedia page on the matter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Franklin_Prophecy
I won't hold my breath.

Lets see.... Ben Franklin.
A man who NEVER held elected office.
A man who was most influential as an ambassador when he was sleeping with the wives of other men.
A man who was so often found in a drunken state that his friends gave up making excuses for him.
YEP, quite a man to quote concerning an entire race of people. Funny you didn't post any of his quotes concerning the Africans living in the colonies at the time.

This is not a quote from Ben. It is a lie and you know it.
Did you know that Ben Franklin was a major contributor to building the first Synagogue in Philadelphia?

"And we should trust Jewish sources that claim it's a lie because...."
Because its better than your source which is....
Oh, thats right. You didnt provide any source. You got verifiable proof that Franklin said that?
"The so-called "Franklin Prophecy" was "debunked" by Jews...what a joke. "
And you were debunked by jews, which makes you an even bigger joke.
"We should let Franklin's wise words speak for itself."
Yes we should. You got any of his words?

Not really. As great a thinker as Ben Franklin was, nobody is right 100% of the time.
