It's not like this is anything new, either. U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein, the "Jewess" that she is, has been handing high-tech and university jobs over to the "invaders" for years. If you don't rise up and do something about it, the "largest invasion in world history"—the one led by "the Jewish dictatorship"—will spell the end of a pure America.

These are the messages I was bombarded with when I walked out of my front door Friday morning. They came in the form of three photocopied articles from the Web site of National Vanguard, a splinter group of the National Alliance, once the nation's largest neo-Nazi organization. Somebody, protected by the darkness of night, rolled them up in a rubber band and dropped them on my front steps. And as I made my way to the train station, I realized I wasn't alone. They'd also papered the rest of my block, and the surrounding streets.

Granted, once I read the "Jews Dictate: More Invaders; Citizenship to Illegals Forever" headline, I should've tossed it in the trash. While I don't begrudge anybody the right to form an opinion—free speech shouldn't be withheld from the patently offensive—I normally don't dignify the existence of narrow-minded propaganda. (You should see some of the e-mails you get when your address is listed in the paper every week.)

But this time was different. A bigot who doesn't even have the courage of conviction to emerge from the shadows thought his, or her, message might be met with some acceptance on my street. Maybe even at my house.

So let me say, to whomever went on this papering spree, I disagree that "the Jews hate the world so." And that even those among us with the blondest of hair, bluest of eyes and fairest of skin have some "invader" blood in them.

This, mind you, is coming from someone who thinks it's pretty ridiculous for people here illegally to expect equal standing under the law. And to even think of changing the anthem into a foreign language? You're welcome to come to America, but don't try to change how we live.

At a loss to grasp how this whole immigration issue was prompted by Jewish people, I threw the papers in my bag and decided to try and reach a couple of sources. First, I e-mailed the folks at National Vanguard, a group that proudly posts "Love Your Race" posters on its Web site. I was hoping to find out whether they had designs on my neighborhood for any particular reason.

Alas, they didn't get back to me, so I'll probably never be able to figure out the connection.

Then I called the Anti-Defamation League, where regional director Barry Morrison said this has been going on for quite some time. Usually, it's a Northeast Philly phenomenon, including such classics as the "Hey White Girl! Race Mixing Is a Crime" distribution. And Morrison, whose group has been tracking increased local reports of propaganda papering in the city for months now, said that the only law the midnight bumbler broke was littering. Which I can let slide, since the kids walking to and from the nearby elementary school make a bigger mess every day.

"There's no telling who's doing this, but it's likely a very small group that's not prepared to be identified with their views," Morrison says. "Immigration is just an excuse, an opportunity for this group to put their views out there, to spew their venom. Today, it's immigration. Tomorrow, it might be same-sex marriage. Whatever the issue of the day is, the hatemongers will try to harness and channel it for their purposes. … Today, they're blaming the Jews. Tomorrow, it might be Hispanics."

Briefly contemplating that tomorrow might already be here, thanks to the whole Spanish "Star Spangled Banner" thing, I got to wondering how much more offended I'd have been if I was actually Jewish. Granted, nobody seemed all that frazzled on my block, but it's not as if I expected some mindless litter to send people into a tizzy. The neighbors, it seems, saw right through this.

That said, National Vanguard was right about one thing: It is time to wake up and send a message. So, for whoever thought their rubber-banded screed would work at my house: As far as I'm concerned, you'll remain a narrow-minded coward until you emerge from your perverted closet with the courage to publicly debate the filthy venom you spew.
