Newt the closet anti-Semite?
Jewish World Review ^ | 1/26/2012 | Jonathan Tobin

Posted on 01/26/2012 6:36:36 AM PST by Former Fetus

Jewish liberals have a difficult task this year in defending Barack Obama's record. But, luckily for them, it is far easier to stir up suspicion about conservative Republicans than it is to convince liberals to connect the dots about Barack Obama's troubling record on Israel.

Convincing wavering Jewish liberals and moderates to stick with the Democrats is generally just a matter of reminding these voters that conservative Republicans are generally allied with the Christian right, a group many Jews fear more than Hamas, Hezbollah or al-Qaeda. That is often enough to overcome the fact that even liberals are aware that with the exception of Ron Paul libertarians (most of whom are not even Republicans), the GOP is uniformly and ardently pro-Israel as well as overtly friendly to American Jews.

Yet that has no deterred some from attempting to try to convince Jews that despite their support for Jewish causes, these same Republican politicians are actively sending out subliminal messages to reassure conservatives they should fear and hate Jews.

Newt also said that he would move the US embassy to Jerusalem...

If that doesn't convince people that Newt is an anti-Semite, I don't know what will.

(For those in Rio Linda, that was intended as sarcasm.)

"This pathetic article" is pro-Newt and defends him from the charge of anti-Semitism and from the knee-jerk hostility of Jewish liberals. Did you not see the question mark at the end of the title?

Sometimes it pays to read the article you are criticizing.

It seems like David Bonoir clones are popping ALL Over society, including throughout FR.

Former Fetus posted a pro-Gingrich article from the conservative Jewish World Review. The article defends Newt from the charge referred to sarcastically in the title of the article (hence the ?).

Please read the article before you assume it is attacking Gingrich.

Here’s another from Glenn Beck, but it appears to be true.

Closet Progressive. FDR is Newt’s hero.

You need to brush up a bit on European history. The Jews have been persecuted and vilified BY “Christians” for centuries over there. It’s still ongoing today, and is being exacerbated by the huge muslim influx of the last 30 years.

The Nazis were just the biggest event in anti-semitism over the last hundred years. It’ll get more interesting soon, and NOT in a good way.

Nazis were also big admirers of Islam, especially Heinrich Himmler, he considered Christianity to be a "weak" religion, and Islam was better suited for soldiers, because of the promise of beautiful women in heaven for those who died in battle.

Russian programs killed a lot of Jews and most Germans in the 30s and 40s were not Nazi party members. The Russians were definitely Russian Orthodox. Plus a lot of those Germans thought they were Christians.
If you want to understand the point of view of another group of people (in this case the Jews) you should look at the world from their point of view.

And one more point, and this is to attack the author and editor of this pathetic “article.” Do you not see the contradiction of terms in your own headline? If he is “closet” about something, that means he has kept it a secret and that there is no evidence. Has your “journalism” really stooped to the point of alleging that someone has feelings that you have no outward evidence to support?

You obviously didn't read the article, which is a defense of Gingrich against another author's accusations.

You forgot the “old man” attacks. Guess he is too sharp for them to accuse him of senility... yet.

I did not read the article. I reacted to the headline and my rant was against the tried-and-true attacks of the left, which happen to rely heavily on ad hominem attacks.

That was obvious. The article was pro-Newt and defended him. I understood you to be attacking the article and the original poster as anti-Newt when the opposite was the case. This was an injustice.

Dude. I admitted my mistake. Now get the eff over it and move on. Save your anger and righteous indignation for our enemies.
