I read the article and watched the video clip.  I see nothing in the way of anti-Semitic remarks, and I also agree with the concept of disarming the civilian populace as making it easier for a Holocaust to happen.  I would point out the creation of the modern state of Israel as an example of Jews bearing this in mind.

Listened to the audio clip.
It was offensive and belittling.If he'd chosen a different tone and skipped the pandering I believe he could have used the same points and gotten away with it.
Come across as an educator-not a "buddy".

I counted 10-12 people in the room during the speech.The video had over 500 hits and who knows how many will have read the article.He got his point across for sure.

So what?  Opponents of RKBA deserve belittling, even the Jewish ones. 

Keep on playing the antisemite card when there is no antisemitism in evidence and then wonder when no one believes them when the real thing pops up.

As I said,he could have done a much better job-using the same material-if he were a better speaker.He came across as whiny.

I don't see how you can find what he says offensive.
And I agree with roo-ster on the belittling.

I woukd guess the professional victims in this case care about as much about free speech as they do gun rights.
 

Ironies wrapped in irony.

Reason, history, facts, laws inter alia mean nothing to the anti-zealots.  If you listen carefully they are never "for" anything.  They are always in opposition.

Ex:  They are not "for" abortion.  Rather they are opposed to the regulating of it.  They are not "for" higher minimum wage laws. They are opposed to wages being determined by a free market.  They are not "for" free speech.  They are opposed to speech that is not their speech.  They are not "for" women's rights, or equal rights in general.  They are opposed to any semblance of what's good for the goose is good for the gander. They are not "for" having discussions about issues.  They are opposed to any opinion other than their own.
