The Protocols of Racism

Wal-Mart stops sale of anti-Semitic tract

So, Wal-Mart will stop selling the infamous "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion". Amazon.com still sells it, albeit along with quite the long discussion about what sort of books a bookseller should sell, and followed by a review which describes it as a "pernicious fraud".

Unlike amazon.co.uk, which does nothing of the sort. Some versions/editions have no synopsis at all, some merely parrot the publisher's rather disingenuous explanation for publishing the book: only the synopsis for the books by Sergius Nilus make it clear that the Protocols are faked.
