Benjamin Franklin knew and noone listened or should I say 'took action'....?

Question

Benjamin Franklin
(This prophecy, by Benjamin Franklin, was made in a "CHIT CHAT AROUND THE TABLE DURING INTERMISSION," at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention of 1787. This statement was recorded in the dairy of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a delegate from South Carolina.)

"I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. The 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 is founded, by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal.
For over 1,700 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 among themselves. They must subsist on Christians and other people not of their race.
If you do not exclude them from these United States, in their 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 Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves.
Jews, gentlemen, are Asiatics, let them be born where they will nor how many generations they are away from Asia, they will never be otherwise. Their ideas do not conform to an American's, and will not even thou they live among us ten generations. A leopard cannot change its spots. Jews are Asiatics, are a menace to this country if permitted entrance, and should be excluded by this Constitutional Convention."

Answer 1

I really hate to report people, but you're getting close. This quote isn't from Franklin, it's was put out in 1934 by the American Nazi Party claiming it was from Franklin. What's got me annoyed with you is that this is the second day in a row you've posted this and the equally false quote from Washington. Now you can't even claim that you thought they were true, so you're clearly a liar. Stop it now.

Answer 2

I don't know if Ben Franklin said this or not but I know you should not have repeated it. What is the point? We are a nation of diversities and that is not going to change. I hope you learn someday to be united like the rest of us in The United States are trying to be. Shame on you.

Answer 3

It's shameful that Ben Franklin was - and you are - so bigoted.
Especially since many of our founding fathers came to America to escape religious persecution. Especially since contemporary America is supposed to be a land of equality.

I don't know what religion you follow (if any), but I wonder how you might feel if America excluded YOUR religion or YOUR race or YOUR culture?? -RKO- 09/11/07

Answer 4

Complete rumor, no actual record was ever kept, cannot be found or proven in the real world. No supposed delegate of that name kept a journal containing any statement of this sort made by Mr. Franklin or anyone else.

You have fallen for the Internet version of the National Enquirer.

Please spew your nonsense elsewhere, it is not needed or wanted here.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Answer 5

How about a link to that very unlikely quote.

The quote is very uncharacteristic of Franklin.

Try again, Muhammad. You should have listened more carefully when the teacher said "above all, do not make it obvious that you are a madrassa-educated Muslim making up BS"

Answer 6

You're going to have to come up with a reliable source before I will believe that Franklin said anything like this.

Answer 7

Since the Washington quote was a fake, this one is obviously phony too.

Answer 8

You're full of crap and hate. Furthermore, don't bring a brilliant fore father of America into your B.S.

Answer 9

If Ben said this he was either senile or drunk.

Answer 10

You are one sick puppy.
