Quite wrong. In the writings of Wagner, he calls on the Jews to destroy themselves. Cosima was also of this mentality, although Liszt was not.

For me, the ONLY redeeming factor for Wagner was the fact that he was vegetarian. His music is shit (the parts that he didn't steal from Liszt--don't forget that famous "Tristan" chord that he stole and claimed as his own.)as is his mentality. Not to mention the fact that he literally demanded money from Liszt while he was in exhile in Switzerland. He's a composer better left forgotten.
