The whole thing is a jolt. It had never occurred to me in my whole life
(73 years) that anyone would take that forgery seriously. It should be
no more necessary to argue that fact than to argue that the earth is
round. But then about 50 years ago when my father was teaching in a
rural elementary school, a father of a student came in very angry. He
insisted that the world was flat. Wilson's questions about the Protocol
is as outrageous and stupid as that man's insistence that the world was
flat.

Wilson utterly bewilders me. Why would anyone in 2003 defend a stupid
racist forgery>?
