Can you imagine the "outrage" in the MSM if a conservative had said this?!?

In addition to his MSNBC.com gig, Alterman is also a writer at the far-left The Nation magazine and a "senior fellow" at the Center for American Progress.

..it is pointless to argue with a lunatic.

Israel knows who loves her.

Can you imagine the "outrage" in the MSM if a conservative had said this?!?

Can you imagine the outrage if a Christian writer had said this about Jews.

[rlmorel]

What a pant load.

It infuriates me that the left is the part of the political spectrum that is most anti-semetic and racist, but they somehow keep getting to paint the right that way and get away with it.

Go figure.

If he doesn’t know Christian right-wingers, it’s hard to see how he could know their opinions of individual Jews or anything else. In my experience peoples opinions of individuals are more frequently based on personal interaction rather than religion, though there are certainly religious bigots out there. Citing Leon Blum, Prime Minister of France in 1938 as evidence that the French had a particular affinity of individual Jews is odd given the experience of the next 7 years.

Eric Alterman = Moron Personified

[Sender]

So nice of him to write about people he admittedly doesn't know and what they really think. Idiot.

[Convert from ECUSA]

Boy oh boy, check this out - ping!

[Americanexpat]

Alterman says he doesn't have any proof of these allegations, just a feeling.

The man must work for the NYT since they say what they write may not be true, but it is plausible.

[trisham]

Here’s what I think, though it’s not provable.

Good grief. He should have stopped there.

[SunkenCiv]

France had Jewish prime ministers in both the thirties and fifties and might get another one soon. No way that could happen in the United States even today.

Particularly since the United States doesn't have a prime minister...

I hate when the author gets the title of his own article wrong. Should read;

Conservative Christians ( and most other people ) Don't Have Much Use For Eric Alterman

Fixed it for him. No need for him to thank me.

[Lazamataz]

Eric Alterman: Conservative Christians Don't Have "Much Use" For Jews

Incorrect.

Many conservative Christian women have used me.

I'm still grinning.

[American in Israel]

When the guy starts his statement with I don't know any but this is the way they are, what you see is not his knowledge, but his agenda.

The big question, is why does he have this agenda?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

He is a stupid fool, as all such bleeding stupid liberals are and always will be.

They think and speak nonsense both deliberately and deceitfully and also as a result of their sheer stupidity.

Shame on him. I wonder which category he falls into with this outrageous comment. Is he troublemaking spitefully or was it a case of oral diarrhea out of stupidity? It does sound like a very quickly and poorly thought out comment that he made off the cuff and perhaps regrets.

Still, we owe him no benefit of doubt just the same.

[Bellflower]

His opinion is obviously uninformed conjecture but if there were a shred of truth I would say it would be more likely that conservative Christians love Jews and want to have a lot to do with them but, maybe, the Jews will stay away from the Christian. There is a lot of dislike as far as I can tell among some Jews for groups such as Jews for Jesus. They hate to be proselytized by Christians. I as a Christian welcome all and anyone to try to proselytize me as I love to pass along the truth about Jesus. I suspect that some Jews are afraid that they or their children will become influenced toward understanding that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel. As far as they are concerned it is best to avoid those zealot Christians. Now if they were sure of their belief that Jesus is not the Messiah of Israel I would think they would welcome dialog. Who doesn't like to spread the truth as they see it providing of course they are totally confident of it?

[JewishRighter]

jewish conservatives (at least this one) don't have much use for Eric Altermans

[Zionist Conspirator]

I suppose he says that Noachides hate the Jews too. Um, does he even know what a Noachide is?

[tflabo]

I bet Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews would beg to differ. True Christians vigorously support Israel and give financial aid to poor Jews emigrating to Israel. Visit the website www.icfj.org Many of us Christians Mr. Alterman both like and love Jews for the most part.
