Big time Jew lawyer means Tier 1 Jew lawyer.

Richardson's comments are almost amusing (read the whole thing). They're not so much a slur as a perpetuation of a stereotype. "Crafty" isn't unadulterated praise, but it's not exactly an insult, either.
But then, I'm not Jewish, so I don't know how people feel about these sorts of comments.

The ads, header, and comment sidebars load, but the actual articles aren't loading.
Maybe it's a new ad technique? I hope my firm hasn't blocked my access!

As a big time Jew lawyer I have no problems with Richardson's comments.

I read it twice trying to get an idea of "how" he said "they are hated all over the world..."
From what I have heard], Al Sharpton//Jesse Jackson and others have said far worse, so what do you expect the guy to believe?
I wonder if Lavi could go on a crusade for his brethren's reputation in the African American community

Whether or not his statement is empirically accurate or not, I don't think it was anti-Semitic; that would suggest drawing attention to the fact of anti-Semitism's existence is anti-Semitic. His invocation of a cultural stereotype was not politically correct, but neither was it anti-Semitic. There is a difference.

Hey, I'm a big-tme Jew lawyer and I never worry about anything because I have big-time Black gangsters who always watch my back.

Jew death culture will always attack truth.
