Not the biggest "victim card", rather the "boss card". I forget if it was Voltaire or another... "To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." That quote with no other context is considered anti-semitic, which speaks for itself. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
It was Voltaire.
Thought so. Thank you.

I found this:
Kevin Alfred Strom (born August 17, 1956) is an American white nationalist, neo-Nazi, Holocaust denier, white separatist, and associate editor of National Vanguard. Strom resigned from National Vanguard in July 2006.
The statement "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize" has been falsely attributed to Voltaire, the French Enlightenment philosopher.
The phrase, however, is believed to have originated in an essay by Strom which was first published in 1993: "All America Must Know the Terror that is Upon Us". He wrote: "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?"
Per the J-owned W_k_pedia!

I think this may be part of [their] whitewash. I was looking earlier and for some reason they have pulled out all the stops to make sure this quote is NOT attributed to Voltaire. Good info, tho, and more research to do. Sometimes the cover up and motive for the same is more interesting than the quote or piece history they are trying to distort.
