Is Rush right on the Left?

What would be a ‘educated, Jewish’ person’s objection to Sarah Palin?

Palin is pro-life.

[Boardwalk]

Bingo.

[uncbob]

They postulate Sarah is the cause of the Jews voting Obama; I don't believe it.

Believe it

I have a conservative Jewish friend who told me he was at a Bas Mitzvah and the 8 people at his table were against the GOP because of Sarah --makes no sense but it is what it is

[AuntB]

I don’t disagree with anything you stated.

[SoConPubbie]

Limbaugh is a bag of wind! He's an apologist for the man who caused this debacle; he gushed with adoration of him despite that same man's palpable failures and his abandonment of just about ever conservative principle that Rush advanced. It is a hypocrisy akin to Newt Gingrich's immoral adulterous behavior when chastising Bill Clinton for the same thing. The man, in case any of you are still in the conservative cobwebs that he spun out, is George W(orse) Bush!

Me thinks you are just bitter because you have been relentless in your shilling for the extremely flawed McCain.

And you are completely wrong in your assesment of Rush, on you, however, the description of "a bag of wind" fits quite nicely!

[rintense]

I think it was that false Pat Buchanan story. Looks like it stuck. Too bad they ignored Palin’s undying support for Israel and the Israeli flag in her office.

“my father was a Democrat, my grandfather was a Democrat….”

People always under-rate religion in these things. Religiously observant Jews are conservative voters. The above quote is from a secularized Jew, I'd bet dollars to buttered bagels. For historical and emotional reasons, secularized, intellectual Jews didn't abandon their religious life, they just transferred it to the Communist, and then the Democratic party, which became the repository of their new faith and their new God.

The old-time Jew knows that "God will never forsake us utterly." The secularized, academic Jew knows that "God will never forsake us, he'll forsake our annoying neighbors the Roths first."

[MS from the OC]

Being a real minority (American, white, Jewish, Conservative) I would have to agree that many Jews are liberals first. I believe that this is an emotional attachment to liberalism that will be hard to dissolve. And for now, maybe we should stop trying.

Rush had it right this morning... We won’t win by trying to dilute our conservative values to appeal to the mushy middle.

We need to field real conservative candidates, who will fight for conservative ideas. After 2 years of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, we’ll make real gains. After 4 years of Obama, if we field the right candidate (Pailin, Jindal, Steele, as examples), we’ll win back the White House.

[Heartland Mom]

American Jews care nothing about Israel and only care about social liberalism. Obviously they weren't looking at the economic aspect of what an Obama presidency will do to our economy. No, they just saw the “D” by his name and chose to identify themselves with a letter. Sad for everyone.

[uncbob]

How Jews vote will not be an issue in future elections allowed by the Obamistas.

And they are too stupid to realize they don't have the power they did back in the 60s and 70s and that the muslims are now the lefts darlings

Just look at the antisemitism on the college campuses and in Europe

[printhead]

JPFO is a Jewish group who cares. Rare, but still there.

WHAT WAS RUSH SAYING TODAY ABOUT TAKING OUR 401’KS...

.....it's old news, some liberal prof came up with an idea on how the government can get about 80 billion dollars real quick...the government takes over your 401k when it gives you the =value it was back in August before the collapse......then assures you 3% plus the cost of living...but with limited amount you can deposit in it....and THIS IS IMPORTANT,it becomes part of your Social Security Account......you basically make a deal with the devil, you've given up your 401k..(see if you can get them to guarantee you a 15% tax rate for the next 20 years)

[Southron Patriot]

Hey I listened to Limbaugh during the entire two month election cycle and not once did he BOW DOWN to McCain.

He constantly made fun of McCain and put him down.

He constantly stated that Sarah and the Conservatives would have to drag him kicking and screaming across the finish line.

Rush has never sold out to the Moderates.
That's HOGWASH!!!!!!!!!!

[Palmetto]

I had never seen this - but you two are absolutely correct.

The wife in a very nice Jewish family who moved into our new neighborhood sent a nastygram email to everyone in the neighborhood when someone placed a pro-life flier on mailboxes. She assumed (incorrectly) that someone in the neighborhood had done it, and even asked my wife if SHE were the one responsible.

Later, she shared with my wife that she was voting for Obama and that she hated Sarah Palin.

How normal working people can be so violently pro-choice and anti-Palin mystified me.

[Cyman]

” used to support Israel. It appears that American Jews do not. So, I no longer give a flying fickle finger about Israel.”

Arguably that might be a position the Republicans should start taking in the political world. Our position would be that we have sent the man with the rescue boat for over 3 decades. Not only has the Jew emphatically stayed on top of the roof and refused our help but when the flood waters recede he pays for dinner for the guy that blew up the dam and also makes him President of the water board.

Operation Chaos sure worked well, didn’t it?

[Stat Man]

The irony is that most Jews, get it backwards. They fear evangelicals the most and more liberal Christian denominations (which tend to adhere to replacement theology) the least.

It's not that they fear evangelicals. It's that they despise them for the same reason that secular humanists despise evangelicals. Namely, evangelicals tell them they are going to go to Hell if they don't accept Jesus.

Antipathy towards evangelicals is a growth emotion in America. I even noticed a lot of it directed against Mike Huckabee from non-religious conservatives in this very forum during the primaries.

[MNnice]

I know many jews and they all vote democrat and have always been ardent Bush haters. When I’ve made the point that George Bush and the republicans, especially evangelical Christians are the best friends that Israel ever had, and that Israelis have said that George Bush would win an Israeli election in a landslide, they don’t care. They’re Leftists first, Jews second and Americans third.

[From The Deer Stand]

Rush gave us Obama through his Operation Chaos that got rid of Hillary.
