The first episode of The West Wing has an kick ass Deus Ex Machina moment when President Bartlett walks in to the middle of an argument between his staff and some anti-Semitic religious nuts. His very first line in the entire show quoting the first commandment is literally "I am the Lord your God." He's a brilliant debater too so it's immensely satisfying.

I don’t recall them being anti semites, just a Christian right wing group.
Damn you, now I’m going to have to rewatch it, so thanks!

There was that comment about Toby being from "New York".

Yes, well remembered.
I think I felt it was more covert anti semitism, rather than out and out blatant.
Still going to watch it again later today. 😉

Toby as the villain in "I Am Sam" was a great heel turn
