"The Jews could be put down very plausibly as the most unpleasant race ever heard of."
- H.L. Mencken
That's just one of the more antisemitic quotes by Mencken that I'm aware of. Then again, as great a writer/commentator as the man was, it's also possible -- as was the case with Nietzsche -- that he knew just who not to offend; if, that is, he wanted to continue on his chosen career path. Speculation on my part is all...
