- Ford was very much an anti-Semite. He used his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to publish a series of articles together known as "The International Jew", where he argued there was a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. He did later go on to apologize for it, though.--Steve 13:10, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
