Rabbi Hammermann after the Broncos beat the Patriots.

Huston has a screen capture that shows the Hammerman post before he scrubbed it of its offensive passage.
One Rabbi Joshua Hammerman, a columnist for The Jewish Week, went off the deep end into a cesspool of anti-Tim Tebow derangement in his December 12 post, "My Tim Tebow" problem.
Former NewsBuster Warner Todd Huston noted the most offensive passage of Hammerman's screed at the website HoosierAccess.com. This paragraph has since been scrubbed from Hammerman's post:
If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants. While America has become more inclusive since Jerry Falwell’s first political forays, a Tebow triumph could set those efforts back considerably.
It's so laughably absurd you'd think this were from The Onion. But Hammerman appears to be dead serious, even in his sanitized post, where grafs like these make clear Hammerman is a) a die-hard Boston sports fan and b) mentally unbalanced:
I admire much of what Tebow stands for. His mom’s decision to risk her own life rather than abort her fetus flies against my own – and Judaism’s – values, but neither am I pro-choice in all cases. His story is so improbable that if he were to win it all, a part of me would be wondering whether there is a Purpose behind it, just as I saw a divine hand in the equally unbelievable Red Sox victory of 2004. And it makes me wonder whether other Jews, the ones who don’t happen to have advanced degrees in religion and a few decades of rabbinic experience, might be even more seduced by this unfolding drama.

People who don’t understand the real relationship behind Tim’s faith is a loving, selfless Lord that does not promote this hatred those on the outside seem to spew at every possible turn.
Seems more likely that some liberal whacko would burn a Christian church.
How can the will of Allah be wrong?
So its a win win?
I am just waiting for liberal heads to explode when someone puts a kneeling Tebow in an outdoor Nativity scene.
Jesus said we’d be hated. This is no different.
The Jewish Week just pulled the column. It had to be one of the most irrational examples of bigotry I’ve seen in a long time. It doesn’t surprise me that a bigoted crank would write it; it does surprise me that a prominent paper would publish it.
The Jewish Week pulled the opinion piece.
A racist rabbi. Whodathunk?
Given the history of bigotry endured by the Jewish people, that a rabbi would pen such venom is mind-boggling.

Yes, what burned when it looked like Sarah was going to go places. Oh yeah, not gays or mosques, it was the church she attended. Did she do it herself? {sarc}
Don't you think this means that they are ashamed to have published it; they know it was wrong; and they have done the best they could to correct their error?

They have to destroy Tebow. He is symbolic of all they hate.
