New Low for Tebow Derangement Syndrome: Broncos Win Could Mean Mosques, Synagogues Burn
NewsBusters ^ | 14 Dec 2011 | Ken Shepherd

Posted on 12/14/2011 4:12:12 PM PST by mandaladon

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.

Not to worry. Tebow will NOT win the Super Bowl this year.

He doesn’t seem to have much faith in his faith.

I'm offended by the Tim Tebow worship I see creeping up. Eventually he won't win, will the acolytes say he's lost God's favor? It's just absurd.

It's just a game. He's just a player.

Many Jewish liberals are a lot more scared of conservative Christians then they are of Jihadi Muslims. However, I know several who think for themselves and say they would never vote for Obama again.

The Tebow thing is just mental masturbation for liberal “intellectuals”.

I always find it amazing the left thinks if "Christians" get too much power they will impose their beliefs on the rest of the country...as if Christians would ignore free association laws or God given freedom and liberty to throw out our constitutional republic for a theocracy.... diametrically opposing concepts

They must think we are Islamic or Marxist

This rabbi has his yarmulke on too tight. I think he ate some bad gefilte fish. The bellyache is making him meshugge.

He oughtta stop kvetching already before he turns into a total putz.

I don't believe they will beat the Patriots this Sunday. Brady embarrassed himself against Washington last Sunday. If he puts fewer than 28 points up in the first half, I'll be shocked. I love the Tebow story; I love even more what he does to the haters every time he pulls of a comeback. Problem is, as bad as the NE defense is, our offense stands every chance of putting a comeback well out of reach, even for Tebow. Granted, NE does not play well in Denver, so all I will say is, it will be a game not to be missed.

The irony is that Tebow is treating football as a just a game unlike so so many sports fans.

A bigoted, intolerant columnist in a bigoted, intolerant publication. We shouldn’t give haters and bigots a platform on FR.

Tebow's the one that gets that. That's what makes him likable.

That is what I wrote to the columnist. Basically...if ISLAM wins, then synagogues burn...and gays are bashed. COUNT ON IT.

Amazing to me they don't see it...but then again...the god of this world has blinded them so...not so amazing after all.

Screw the Broncos, and screw Tim Tebow, that’s just part of being sports fans.

Thanks to Tebow for beating the Bears, that was epic!

The Lions get Suh back for the season — that should make all the Tebow drones reach for their betablockers — and have managed to remain in wild card contention, in part thanks to Tim Tebow and the Broncos, who put Chicago a game back. Only the Falcons now.

This is nuts:

You know, it's BEMs (Booger Eating Morons) like this that sometimes make me ashamed to be a Jew.

Just the association with a lunatic like that makes my skin crawl.

Despite the background of the dork writing the article, I’d still do all I could to prevent those dastardly right wingers from damaging a synagogue.

Rabbi Hammerhead is like all libs after 9/11 who predicted right-wingers would go around and massacre Muslims. It never happened. They also said Americans would pursue and slaughter Koreans after the massacre at Virginia Tech. It never happened. What might be the scariest thing in the world is the inside of a liberal mind. They appear to be the most paranoid people in the world.

Typical Jewish anti-Christian bigot. This effort to harm Christians through character smears, intolerance and official manipulation and suppression is common in our society. I’m sick of it. What slugs.

Anti-Christian bigots are afraid Christians will be as nasty and hateful to them as they are to Christians. If Christians operated on an eye for and eye rule of justice, they know they would they would have no eyes.
