    <title>Rabbis for Obama</title>
    <link>http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/rabbis-for-obama/</link>
    <description>More than 300 rabbis from across the country and across the denominations are publicly backing Barack Obama for president. According to a press release, Rabbis for Obama is a &#8220;grassroots effort&#8221; founded by two rabbis from Obama&#8217;s home state of Illinois, Rabbi Sam Gordon of Wilmette, and Rabbi Steven Bob of Glen Ellyn, and includes prominent figures such as University of Judaism rector Rabbi Elliot Dorf, former Central Conference of American Rabbis president Rabbi Janet Marder and Rabbi Burton Visotzky, professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Also on the list, named as one of the organization&#8217;s vice chairs, is Rabbi Ethan Tucker &#8211; stepson of the head of the honorary Senate rabbis for McCain, Joe Lieberman.

The rabbis write that Obama &#8220;has been inspired by Jewish values such as Tikkun Olam and the pursuit of justice, and he is deeply committed as well to a civil discourse between opposing arguments.&#8221; They also note the smear campaign against the Democrat and say &#8220;we feel it is our duty as Jewish leaders to fight for the truth and against Lashon Hara.&#8221;

The full letter and list of signatories is here:

Dear Friends:

As rabbis who believe that Barack Obama is the best candidate to be President of the United States, we have formed &#8220;Rabbis for Obama&#8221; as a grassroots organization of rabbis from all movements and backgrounds. We join together to support Senator Obama for President, and we do so in the belief that he will best support the issues important to us in the Jewish community.

Some of us know Senator Obama personally, and we recognize that he has been inspired by Jewish values such as Tikkun Olam and the pursuit of justice, and he is deeply committed as well to a civil discourse between opposing arguments. We also know that Senator Obama will inspire young people, both in the Jewish community and the wider American community, to become more involved in improving this country and repairing the world.

We know that Barack Obama&#8217;s longstanding, stalwart support for Israel is a testament to his own principles as well as the strong bi&#45;partisan pro&#45;Israel movement in America, and we fear that the attempts by some to use Israel as a wedge issue against him &#45; unjustifiably &#45; is dangerous in that it politicizes the pro&#45;Israel position. Most importantly it has completely distorted Senator Obama&#8217;s record. With his tough but pragmatic approach to Iran, Senator Obama is in the best position to restore faith in America as a leader in the fight against serious threats to Israel, our allies, and the United States.

Senator Barack Obama inspires in us the hope for an America once more called to its best values. We know him to be a man of incredible integrity, born of a deep and abiding spiritual faith based on the teachings of the Hebrew Prophets, and committed to achieving a world of peace with justice for all people.

We are fully aware that a smear campaign against Senator Obama has been waged in the Jewish community, and we feel it is our duty as Jewish leaders to fight for the truth and against Lashon Hara. Senator Obama has been viciously attacked using innuendoes, rumors, and guilt by association, and we urge our fellow American Jews to judge Senator Obama based on his own record and the clear statements he has made about his personal beliefs and principles. Continuing efforts to defame him and distort his record help perpetuate a deeply disturbing political process in our country.

We hope that the members of the American Jewish community will seek to learn more about the Senator, his story, and his positions on issues. Senator Obama&#8217;s record and background clearly demonstrate that he shares our commitment to change the direction of this country, both at home and around the globe. Thank you,

      <description>I observe a traditional form conservative Judaism. I believe in Hashem and Torah. What these &#8220;rabbis&#8221; prove is that there are NO standards for who can refer to themself as a &#8220;rabbi.&#8221; The seminaries that release these people with this title do a great disservice to Torah, Judaism, and Hashem.


Many studies show that a large number of these so&#45;called &#8220;rabbis&#8221; do not believe in G&#45;d, do not believe that the Torah is the word of G&#45;d OR EVEN inspired by G&#45;d. These so&#45;called &#8220;rabbis&#8221; openly oppose the laws of Torah and Judaism. I am quite justified in my disdain for these &#8220;rabbis.&#8221; Do some minor research on these names. Most are not pulpit Rabbis&#45;&#45;&#45;many are open gay and lesbian in their own lives, and advocate this prohibited BEHAVIOR. Many are simply rabbinic students, still in the seminary.


These &#8220;rabbis&#8221; seek to make THEIR opinion seem more valuable and more respected than that of every other Jew. Obviously, these &#8220;rabbis&#8221; are committing a fraud to imply that they rise to the level of a genuine Rav. They are living proof of the huge decline of Judaism&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;where liberalism is the goal.


Put aside my strong belief that Obama is an enemy of Judaism, Jews, and Torah...PUT THAT ASIDE.&amp;nbsp; At the root of my anger, is the DISGRACEFUL way that these &#8220;rabbis&#8221; have inserted themselves into something that is simply partisan politics.&amp;nbsp; They have NO PLACE inserting themselves, with their claimed expertise (most have none) into the election campaign. 

I would condemn Rabbis for McCain as much as I am condemning &#8220;Rabbis&#8221; for Obama. This is disgraceful.</description>

      <description>If you will check into the backgrounds of the bogus, filth claiming to be &#8220;rabbis&#8221; (LOWER CASE), a large percentage of these vermin are lesbians, gays and other mentally ill perverts. Names like Elwell come to mind. Dayle Freidman is also a lesbian activist&#45;&#45;&#45;who stands for positions prohibited by Torah and Hashem. 


These filth have already done their best to spit on Torah, now they wish to incinerate their fellow Jews and Israel. Bring real Jews, Torah and our homeland to their &#8220;bathhouse&#8221; level.


You are not Rabbis&#45;&#45;&#45;you are an insult to Torah and Hashem. FILTH!


Listen, false &#8220;rabbis&quot;&#45;&#45;&#45;your degenerate seminaries claim that you are real &#8220;Rabbis.&#8221; You are not. You are mentally ill  people of Jewsih ancestry, who seek to drag the sane and observant Jews into your pit of swill. 


Typical leftists.


You will not succeed, and Hashem will see that you are cursed forever. One day, perhaps, G&#45;d will expose you as the filth that you are, and REAL JEWS will sue you for FRAUD and MISREPRESENTATION. You are lowlifes, and I spit on you.</description>

Why don&#8217;t you call me a homophobe, islamophobe, racist, sexist and Nazi, too? That is the usual childish tactic of the Left.


Not only are you a likely member of the moron Left, but your actions and foolishness threaten Judaism, Israel, and the USA. I do not know if you are, or consider yourself to be Jewish&#45;&#45;&#45;or even consider yourself to be observat of ANY religion.&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;but liberalism is NOT a religion, or even a meaningful substitute for a genuine religion.


You  apparently know NOTHING about observant Orthodox Jews and those who lean toward Orthodox (such as myself). I attend an Orthodox synagogue, and can tell you that my political beliefs are virtually identical to the  political beliefs of EVERY MEMBER of my Orthodox congregation. We hate and fear the REAL Obama. We support McCain and Palin on most issues. We love America, Torah, the L&#45;rd and Israel. We often have more in common with Evangelical and Observant Christians than we do with liberal, weenie Jews (we respect each other&#8217;s religions).


Stop your knee&#45;jerk liberal responses, do some research of Orthodox/Observant Jews (in US and Israel), and realize that not all Jews are useful&#45;idiot liberals. The Torah/Bible should demonstrate to you that G&#45;d is loving, but VERY conservative.


Maybe you should read what Jesse &#8220;Hymietown&#8221; Jackson just said at a conference in Evian, France. check out 10/14/08 NYTimes or NY Post. Jackson&#8217;s son is a director of Obama&#8217;s campaign, and Jackson, Sr. is a long&#45;time confidant, and guide for Obama. 


Jackson, Sr. essentially said that once Obama is elected (G&#45;d forbid) that Israel and Jews will have NO power&#45;&#45;&#45;that Jews have had power and influence for too long&#45;&#45;&#45;and that Obama will neutralize the Jews, and bring &#8220;JUSTICE&#8221; to the palestinians.


Perhaps that is why the &#8220;so&#45;called non&#45;muslim&#8221; Obama has tremendous voter and financial support from muslim and arab countries&#45;&#45;&#45;AND is also supported by Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO/PA, and other arab terror groups. Obama has already been caught receiving millions from improper arab and muslim terrorist sources.


Do some more research, and you will even find that the so&#45;called &#8220;palestinian people&#8221; are a fiction created by the PLO, East Germany, USSR and North Vietnam, to DE&#45;LEGITIMIZE Israel, and ultimately destroy that nation.


Obama will do his best to ignore Israel, and bring it to oblivion.


You really have a lot of learning to do&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;like most other &#8220;factually blind&#8221; Obama supporters.</description>

Why don&#8217;t you call me a homophobe, islamophobe, racist, sexist and Nazi, too? That is the usual childish tactic of the Left.
</p>
<p>
Not only are you a likely member of the moron Left, but your actions and foolishness threaten Judaism, Israel, and the USA. I do not know if you are, or consider yourself to be Jewish---or even consider yourself to be observat of ANY religion.----but liberalism is NOT a religion, or even a meaningful substitute for a genuine religion.
</p>
<p>
You  apparently know NOTHING about observant Orthodox Jews and those who lean toward Orthodox (such as myself). I attend an Orthodox synagogue, and can tell you that my political beliefs are virtually identical to the  political beliefs of EVERY MEMBER of my Orthodox congregation. We hate and fear the REAL Obama. We support McCain and Palin on most issues. We love America, Torah, the L-rd and Israel. We often have more in common with Evangelical and Observant Christians than we do with liberal, weenie Jews (we respect each other&#8217;s religions).

      <description>Seymour Scwartz,


I see little difference in your angry, rabid,  &#8220;orthodox&#8221; based ranting than a jihadist&#8217;s bomb.&amp;nbsp; If you think you are Jewish, you are truly delusional. My I suggest that you take a good anger management class or better yet spend some time in therapy. Oh yes, please spend some time trying to understand whatever Jewish texts you might be reading. Next time, some rational discussion which might be more persuasive.

      <description>HOPEFULLY, you and your sick lemming friends will be happy to practice &#8220;diversity,&#8221; and vote for an arab muslim for President.


When Israel needs help, and &#8220;Pres&#45;dent&#8221; (G&#45;d forbid) Obama does NOTHING, you can only blame yourselves and similar leftist &#8220;Jews.&#8221;


Jeff&#45;&#45;&#45;What is a &#8220;Kohen?&#8221; Do you mean a &#8220;Cohain?&#8221; Does your branch of Judaism even recognize Cohanim? Does your branch of Judaism even recognize Torah as the word of Hashem? Does your branch of Judaism desire a &#8220;two&#45;state  solution (a Final Solution) to the &#8220;palestinian&#8221; problem? Do you want to split up Jerusalem with the plo/pa?


That is your sainted Obama&#8217;s plan&#45;&#45;&#45;weaken Israel. Internationalize Jerusalem. Establish a stronger arab enemy, and put Jews in the museum of history.

What I want to know is why is Obama&#8217;s true heritage not being investigated and reported upon?


This is information originated by a Kenneth Lamb.


I just stumbled upon it tonight. I&#8217;m not sure if hyperlinks are allowed here, so if you want the source, just copy and paste one of these sentences into google and you&#8217;ll find it.


Exceprt:


&#8220;Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming &#8220;America&#8217;s first African&#45;American president&#8221; ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative &#45; a maternal grandparent, ethnically African Negro.


That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother&#8217;s side, and 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father&#8217;s side.


The question no one wants to answer &#45; particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, &#8220;Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father&#8217;s side have an Arabic name?&#8221;


The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father&#8217;s side of the family tree is Arabic.


Need proof? Research the Kenyan records for yourself. You will find that his father was officially classified as &#8220;Arab African&#8221; by the Kenyan government.&#8221;</description>

      <description>Osama bin Obama was a muslim, and now is a phoney Christian&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;following the shonda wife&#8217;s demands that IF he wants to get elected in Chicago (or elsewhere), he will have to &#8220;convert&#8221; to Christianity. This is the same shonda wife, who was NEVER proud of America &#45;&#45;&#45;EVEN THOUGH her skin color got her FREE TUITION to Princeton and Harvard (while more qualified PAYING Whites were excluded, and discriminated against)


SO&#45;&#45;&#45;what GREAT ministers did Hussein Obama Jr. choose?&amp;nbsp; Rev Jeremiah (FILTHY BIGOT) Wright, and Rev. Pfleger TWO anti&#45;American, anti&#45;Israel FASCISTS.


To the &#8220;jews&#8221; and &#8220;rabbis&#8221; that support the arab&#45;muslim Obama&#45;&#45;&#45;SHAME ON YOU! You are helping the ENEMIES of the Jewish people.

      <description>These 300 Rabbi(t)s belong to the blame America/Blame Israel/blame the Jews first crowd. Many of them are lesbians, leftists, and communists. I have heard a couple of these rabbis preach. One of them, Rabbi Serrota, in a Yom Kippur sermon, went as far as to blame the Jews for the terrorist acts against them.


In the 1940&#8217;s, many of these same rabbis would have been capos, or members of the Judenrat, who made the Holocaust so successful for Hitler. 


In the year 70 AD a rabbi/general/traitor named Josephus switched sides and showed the Romans how to breach the walls of Jerusalem.


In the 1960&#8217;s, left wing rabbis pushed for racial quotas and affirmative action policies which favored blacks and discriminated against Jews.


Not all rabbis are worms, but there have always been a large number of leftists and traitorous worms in their midst.

      <description>Making the Case for McCain/Palin in 2 minutes 


On Iran


Today’s Iranian leaders repeatedly declare their desire to “wipe Israel off the map” and are close to having the capacity to do so through their development of nuclear weapons.&amp;nbsp; McCain and Palin have demonstrated a much clearer willingness to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions than have Obama and Biden.&amp;nbsp; During the first presidential debate McCain emphasized the need to confront Iran in order to prevent a second Holocaust.&amp;nbsp; In stark contrast, the Obama and Biden records and rhetoric suggest that they would take a much softer stand on Iran and would oppose preemptive military action even after the exhaustion of all non&#45;military options.&amp;nbsp; 

In 2007 Obama refused to support a Senate Resolution designating Iran’s Republican Guard unit a terrorist organization.&amp;nbsp; He condemned the resolution as “excessively provocative” and introduced legislation that use of force against Iran is unauthorized by Congress.&amp;nbsp; Obama’s foreign policy “expert” Biden was reported in the Israeli press to have warned that country’s leaders “Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran.&amp;nbsp; Obama has called Iran a small problem for the U.S. and has repeatedly expressed his willingness to sit down with the Iranian dictator without preconditions, a position that was recently praised by right&#45;wing columnist Pat Buchanan who, like the Iranian president, has denied the magnitude of the Holocaust.&amp;nbsp; “I think Barack is right, we ought to talk to the Iranians,” Buchanan said.


• On Israel


While Obama voices support for Israel on the campaign trail, there is substantial evidence that his administration policies would be much less supportive of Israel’s interests than that of McCain.&amp;nbsp; Obama’s long term associations with, and support from, enemies of Israel is far more revealing of his genuine views than his more recent speeches to prospective campaign contributors, especially since Jews historically donate about half of all dollars raised by Democrats running for president.&amp;nbsp;  These associations include Reverend Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and Jimmy Carter.&amp;nbsp;  Pat Buchanan calls his views on Israel, Iran and the Palestinians the same as Obama’s.&amp;nbsp; Last April the terrorist group Hamas publically endorsed Obama and predicted that his pro&#45;Israel campaign rhetoric would quickly evolve after the elections.&amp;nbsp; 


As for McCain, former Soviet Dissident and Israeli Cabinet Minister Natan Sharansky provides valuable insight:&amp;nbsp;  “I know, personally, McCain for twenty years.&amp;nbsp;  He is a person of principle, and he is also a person who has absolutely a great record of supporting Israel.&amp;nbsp; Getting to Obama, there is no record.&amp;nbsp; Nobody can know for sure what will be.&amp;nbsp; It can happen to be good.&amp;nbsp; It can happen to be very bad.&amp;nbsp; It’s a risk.”  (Shalom TV, 8/7/08)

• On the Economy


The impetus of the current economic crises was not, as our overseas enemies have argued, primarily due to the failure of our free market economic system.&amp;nbsp; Lenders are not naturally inclined to provide loans to those who are unlikely to pay them back without being pushed to do so by the government.&amp;nbsp; Congressional Democrats have lead the effort to press Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to facilitate these reckless lending practices without adequate oversight, over the frequent objections of the Bush Administration and McCain.&amp;nbsp;  


The combined output of a Democratic Congress and a Democratic White House would almost certainly exacerbate rather than cure the economic challenges facing our nation.&amp;nbsp; Now more than ever businesses and entrepreneurs need access to capital but this will be significantly curtailed if capital gains taxes are raised, a cornerstone of the Obama plan.&amp;nbsp; As a Republican and  fiscal conservative McCain can help rein in the Democratic Congress that will predictably use the present economic downturn as an excuse for spending excesses and tax policies that have been shown historically to depress entrepreneurship, innovation, investment, and hard work—the proven ingredients to an economic recovery.&amp;nbsp;    

• On Abortion 


Many Jewish “swing” voters who were leaning towards McCain claim to have reconsidered their vote following the Palin nomination, largely out of fear that her election might somehow result in a nationwide outlawing of abortions.&amp;nbsp; This fear is entirely without basis.&amp;nbsp; Supreme Court appointees require Senate approval and the Democratic Senate would resist the appointment of Justices with views that differ markedly from their own.&amp;nbsp; Even assuming, for arguments sake, that a President had the opportunity to appoint several Supreme Court justices opposed to abortion and that Roe v. Wade were overturned.&amp;nbsp;  This would not result in a nationwide ban on abortion.&amp;nbsp; Instead it would merely give states the right to place limits on abortion that were held unconstitutional under Roe.&amp;nbsp; The likely impact if Roe were overturned would be that some states would have more restrictive abortion laws than others just as it was prior to the decision in Roe in 1973.&amp;nbsp; Women uncomfortable with abortion restrictions in their state would be free to challenge them at the state level or to travel to states with more permissive laws.&amp;nbsp;  In short, the president’s ability to impact abortion rights on a federal level is actually quite limited.</description>

&#8220;We bombed Qaddafi’s home and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your children’s head against a rock!...We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and Black South Africans, and now we are indignant?&#8221;

2002

41. Q: How many UN resolutions did Israel violate by 1992? 

A: Over 65 

42. Q: How many UN resolutions on Israel did America veto between 1972 

and 1990? 

A: 30+ 

43. Q: How much does the U.S. fund Israel a year? 

A:$5 billion 

48. Q: How many nuclear warheads does Israel have? 

A: Over 400 

49. Q: Has Israel every allowed UN weapon inspections? 

A: No 

50. Q: What percentage of the Palestinian territories are controlled by Israeli 

settlements? 

A: 42% 

51. Q: Is Israel illegally occupying Palestinian land? 

A: Yes&#8221;


2005

&#8220;the Saudis have been saying to us since 9&#45;11&#45;01. That part of the Arab world told us clearly that the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had to do with our government’s shameful and shameless support of Zionism...we ignore the real enemy in this &#8216;war of terrorism!&#8217;  We don&#8217;t want to tell the truth about Israel as a country. We don&#8217;t want to be honest as to what caused the attacks on 9&#45;11&#45;01.&#8221; 


&#8220;The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now.&amp;nbsp; It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.&#8221; 


2006

&#8220;No one in his or her right mind could imagine the death of hundreds of thousands of Jews in Israel taking place without the United States sending a swift and “extremely prejudiced” response to that kind of genocide.&#8221;


2007

&#8220;Barack might be forced...to put distance between our church and himself...he can&#8217;t afford the Jewish support to wane or start questioning his allegiance to the state of Israel because...the position we&#8217;ve taken in terms of Palestinians is wrong...I don&#8217;t want to hurt him.&#8221;


“When [Barack&#8217;s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit Col. Muammar el&#45; Qaddafi with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.”

      <description>ANY Rabbi&#45;&#45;&#45;moreso&#45;&#45;&#45;ANY RABBI, who on Rosh Hashana, would pimp for a vile muslim arab candidate&#8230; a candidate with NO love of Jews or Israel, should be tarred and feathered, and taken out on a rail.


Jews do NOT go to shul on the High Holy Days to be exposed to the Rabbi&#8217;s suicidal idiocy, and hate for Torah. Further, NO RABBI&#45;&#45;&#45;especially in the midst of a Holy service&#45;&#45;&#45;should pimp for any candidate.


Other than promoting and pleading for Israel, Rabbis&#45;&#45;&#45;pulpit or otherwise&#45;&#45;&#45;should NEVER be openly involved in politics.


BTW, unlike this STUPID liberal &#8220;rabbi,&#8221; REAL JEWS&#45;&#45;&#45;TORAH&#45;TRUE JEWS&#45;&#45;&#45;ORTHODOX JEWS have approximately 80% support for McCain, and 12% for Obama.


Interestingly, as Jews observance level declines, their support fot Israel enemy Obama increases. Reform/Deform Jews are roughly at the same level of support for Obama as are the fully secular Jews.


These Jews will not survive as Jews. They are going down the drain, with their belief that liberalism is the highest form of observance</description>

      <description>I recently read an article about the Rabbi&#8217;s for Obama organization in a recent Jewish publication. This appears to be an agenda to promote a political candidate and agenda via the pulpit. Of course, this is not new as many Christian organizations have been involved politically for some time.


Yet, many Jews, and I might add non&#45;Jews alike, are the first to protest when religion and politics are mixed. Yet, they have now joined the same chorus and will now be subject to the same objections. My mother attended Synagogue yesterday to attend High Holiday Services for Rosh Hashonah. On one of the most sacred periods of the Jewish Year she was greated by a serious of Rabinacal sermons on &#8220;Why to Vote for Obama&#8221; and &#8220;The Rabbi is voting for Obama&#8221; as well as discussions on &#8220;Global Warming&#8221;, and then to ask for a bunch of money on top of that. Real nice!!! 


Regretably, some of the same groups who detest mixing religion and politics, such as yours, are now subject to the same hypocracy. Not to even mention the IRS implications of selling politics from the pulpit, as I am sure you know, it is no wonder that so many young Jews leave the religion in later years. Thank you</description>

      <description>These &#8220;rabbis&#8221; are mostly unemployed loser gay, lesbian and mentally ill losers.


It gives them a feeling of importance to claim that they are a &#8220;rabbi.&#8221; Check on every one of them. Most are vile, secular ham eaters. They are swill. NONE of them have the decency to avoid politics&#45;&#45;&#45;especially with a muslim arab like Obama.

      <description>Obama is the man who sat silently while his local church honored the anti&#45;semitic Louis Farrakhan. He is the man who actively befriended his racist, hostile minister.&amp;nbsp; He is the man who never spoke out against the divestment campaign of the United Church of Christ (his denomination). He is the man who had a close association with Rashid Khalidi.&amp;nbsp; His is a history that could only give pause to anyone concerned about Jewish welfare and Israel.&amp;nbsp; How can these rabbis avert their eyes and actively endorse him?</description>

This is the month of Elul, the time of making some serious decisions, drawing conclusions over the year we are about to leave behind.

I could not have said it better myself. Nice to see that there are still some smart Jews out there.</description>

      <description>Chabad Rabbis and members &#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;as well as a HUGE majority of Orthodox Jews&#45;&#45;&#45;JEWS WHO LIVE THE TORAH&#45;&#45;&#45;these REAL Jews are OVERWHELMINGLY for McCain.


Check out the research.


WASKO&#45;&#45;&#45;you and other bogus &#8220;rabbis,&#8221; merely hide behind the title of &#8220;rabbi&#8221; to advance your Marxist agenda (imho).


Israel and Tirah are TOO important for REAl Jews&#45;&#45;&#45;ORTHODOX JEWS,  to support Obama&#45;&#45;&#45;an enemy of Israel.


Waskow&#45;&#45;&#45;ask your bed&#45;mate, Obama what promises has he made in Ramallah (Shechem) to Abu Mazen (Abbas)&#45;&#45;&#45;the plo leader, and the one who received his Doctorate in HOLOCAUST DENIAL&#45;&#45;&#45;ask Obama, what PROMISES HE MADE to Abu Mazen. How will Obama dismantle, weaken and destroy Israel and Jerusalem?

When crypto&#45;muslim Obama was in Ramallah )Shechem), did he visit and comment on what the muslims have done to destroy the tomb of Joseph?&amp;nbsp; How about what they are doing to the Tombs of Rachel, and even the Cave of Mispalah in Hebron&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;where the muslims urinate on Torahs and defile the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, etc.


WSKOW&#45;&#45;&#45;WHY do you NEVER condemn muslim violence, but ALWAYS condemn Jews defending and re&#45;claiming G&#45;d&#8217;s grant of Israel?


Waskow&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45; WHY HAVE SO MANY muslim arabs&#45;&#45;&#45;devout ENEMIES of Jews and Israel&#45;&#45;&#45;support Barack Hussein Obama.


Why do REAL JEWS&#45;&#45;&#45;ORTHODOX JEWS&#45;&#45;&#45;&#45;spit on YOU, Waskow and other traitors to Hashem and Israel?


Waskow....sell your Torah (if you have one) and buy a Golden Calf. In my opinion, you are EXACTLY what caused the Jewish people to be expelled from Israel for nearly 2,000 years. You, and your leftist vermin friends&#45;&#45;&#45;all enablers and supporters of islam&#45;&#45;&#45;wish to bring down Judaism and surrender Israel to our enemies.


Your true chant, IMHO, should be &#8220;JEWS&#45;&#45;&#45;TO THE OVENS!&#8221;

      <description>IN MY PERONAL OPINION:


In reading a few stories about the so&#45;called &#8220;rabbi&#8221; Waskow, it is apparent that he wants Jews to give up Israel to the plo and assorted muslim vermin. He supports give away of Jewish lands to arab vermin, and release of thousands of boody&#45;handed arab terrorists.


Waskow&#45;&#45;&#45;you make me puke. 


Israel is G&#45;d&#8217;s land, given to Jews, IN ETERNITY. If, YOU CLERICAL ERROR and friend of Jimmy Carter and countless muslim enemies, IF you would read the plain language of Torah, you would better understand that your LEFTIST ORGANIZATION is poison to Judaism.


Your Jewish followers are imbecile leftists. You seek to redefine Torah, to justify all sorts of evil.


I hope that Hashem punishes you severely for the damage that you are doing.


Your Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Carter Center and leftist enemies of Israel will NOT be able to save you. They will also be engulfed with the same flames of G&#45;d&#8217;s anger, as you will.


You are living proof that Leftism is a severe mental disease, AND enemy of Torah.


Crawl back under your arab rock&#45;&#45;&#45;VERMIN!


You are an enemy of Israel.</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IN MY PERONAL OPINION:
</p>
<p>
In reading a few stories about the so-called &#8220;rabbi&#8221; Waskow, it is apparent that he wants Jews to give up Israel to the plo and assorted muslim vermin. He supports give away of Jewish lands to arab vermin, and release of thousands of boody-handed arab terrorists.
</p>
<p>
Waskow---you make me puke. 
</p>
<p>
Israel is G-d&#8217;s land, given to Jews, IN ETERNITY. If, YOU CLERICAL ERROR and friend of Jimmy Carter and countless muslim enemies, IF you would read the plain language of Torah, you would better understand that your LEFTIST ORGANIZATION is poison to Judaism.
</p>
<p>
Your Jewish followers are imbecile leftists. You seek to redefine Torah, to justify all sorts of evil.
</p>
<p>
I hope that Hashem punishes you severely for the damage that you are doing.
</p>
<p>
Your Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Carter Center and leftist enemies of Israel will NOT be able to save you. They will also be engulfed with the same flames of G-d&#8217;s anger, as you will.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
Crawl back under your arab rock---VERMIN!
</p>
<p>
You are an enemy of Israel.

      <description>If the writer is TRULY &#8220;rabbi&#8221; Arthur Waskow...check him out.


In my opinion, Waskow is an enemy of Israel. He wants to Give away Israel to the arab vermin, COMPLETELY ignoring the 1,300 years of islamic savagery towards &#8220;infidels,&#8221; especially Jews. He is associated with some of the most extreme and vile enemies of Torah and Israel.


In my opinion. if this Bozo loser wants to spit on Torah, and eliminate Israel, let him officially convert to islam, or simply admit that he places his leftism ahead of his &#8220;Judaism.&#8221;


His Sholom Center is another Fifth Column, which is a stake in the Heart of Judaism and Hashem.


EVEN THE LEFTIES DO NOT WANT HIM AS A PULPIT REAL RABBI.


Sir (if you are who you say you are) YOU ARE A LOSER AND ENEMY OF JEWS! 


SHONDA CAPO FOOL!!</description>

      <description>Obama DID embrace Louie FaraKKKlan as well as Jesse (Hymietown) Jackson, Rev. Wright, Rev. Pfleger, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn (US terrorists). He is THE CHOICE of Hamas, Hezbollah, Gaza, and a Who&#8217;s Who of Jew&#45;haters.


The so&#45;called rabbi, who a few posts ago said &#8220;ME TOO&#8221; should be ashamed of himself. He joins the list of clerical errors and losers.

 

He should be live in Torah and G&#45;d, and NOT the crypto&#45;muslim &#8220;anti&#45;Christ.&#8221;


ISRAEL AND TORAH IS TOO IMPORTANT TO ME TO SUPPORT THIS ENEMY OF JEWS AND AMERICA.


While I DID NOT support Hillary, I knew about her. She was NOT an empty suit &#8220;community organizer,&#8221; who cannot open his past to scrutiny, because he either has NONE, or has a past so sullied in hatred that it would be best to conceal.


Shooting staples into Chicago telephone poles, and organizing demonstrations does NOT qualify Obama to be President.


Granted&#45;&#45;&#45;the man can DELIVER a canned speech very well. He cannot even speak well or openly, off&#45;script, and when speaing, he overly conceals who he is, and shows little but the ability to repeat stock lines and leftist bromides.


A reason why Sarah Palin is doing so well, is that she is refreshingly open and direct. She does NOT advance a moral equivalence agenda. We are NOT the same as every other country. We should be PROUD of what America is and has been to us and the World. Obama mumbles academic moral equivalence, and REFUSES TO GIVE THE US CREDIT, WHERE IT IS DUE.

CUTE&#45;&#45;&#45;No Obama is changing his lines. For example, his is NOW changing his objection to ROTC, the Daily Kos and moveon.org. He is now denying his connections with SDS&#45;Weatherman terrorists Ayers, Dohrn and his arab brethren.


Speaking of which, Obama is NOT black. His father was either 1/4 or 1/8 Black, and the remainder arab. Mom was 100% WHITE.


BARRY OBAMA&#45;&#45;&#45;KNOW HIM IF YOU CAN</description>

      <description>Check your facts.&amp;nbsp; The &#8220;Obama Campaign&#8221; has not smeared Palin.&amp;nbsp; Maybe some Democrats, but not the Obama Campaign, and not Obama. There is a difference.


And don&#8217;t tell me the &#8220;lipstick on a pig&#8221; comment is a smear.&amp;nbsp; McCain said EXACTLY the same thing about Hilary&#8217;s health care plan, but nobody took offense, because it is a common phrase.


If Bush had said 6 years ago that he was going to Iraq to give the people &#8220;a better life&#8221; and to eliminate a tyrant, I might think differently about your first point.&amp;nbsp; But those were reasons 3 or 4, after the first few were disproven.&amp;nbsp; And I think a rational argument can be made that the best thing for Iraq now is for us to leave quickly.&amp;nbsp; Actually, that is what the Iraqi government has said, what Bush has said, and what Obama has said. 


Obama has renounced Wright.&amp;nbsp; Nobody agrees with their clergy 100%, and Wright&#8217;s offensive views are maybe 10% of his total philosophy.&amp;nbsp; When he emphasized the 10% at the expense of the 90% of goodness, Obama decided to break the ties.&amp;nbsp; He is going in the right direction.&amp;nbsp; McCain is moving towards Pat Robertson, Hagee, and the right wing.</description>

      <description>SUICIDE by LEFT WING!!!!

George Soros &#8220;Rape Israel&#8221; the leftist behind Barack Hussein Obama.

Israel is the center of Judaism not a bunch of Democrat screwballs in the USA!

You are not JEWS! You are Socialist and Democrats!

Your the kind of people that give Judaism a bad name!

Indeed your Socialist background is your only religion.

God Bless the USA and Israel!</description>

It is time for the Cohanim to bless these misguided fools and clerical errors. They clearly are evidence of an immune disorder in Judaism. We have been too free in who is allowed to be ordained, or referred to as Rabbi. I see some real LOSERS listed in that Who&#8217;s Who list.


Thank the Deformed, Deconstructionist and Undeservative Jews for allowing such swill into their seminaries.


Not surprising though&#45;&#45;&#45;as many of these seminaries are led by non&#45;Rabbis, and have policies that reject G&#45;d and violate Torah. Legitimate surveys reveal that LESS THAN HALF of the Rabbis graduating for the Conservative seminary believe in G&#45;d, and most do not believe that teh Torah is the word of G&#45;d. or even inspired by G&#45;d. How could it, anyway&#45;&#45;THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN G&#45;D!


I never understand why these &#8220;synagogues&#8221; even contain Torahs. The Rabbis often cannot even read or chant Hebrew, and don&#8217;t believe what they read from Torah, anyway.


I suggest that they sell their Torahs, use empty cardboard tubes, covered with ornate tapestries. They could use the Torah sale money to buy Golden Calves.</description>

      <description>Obama probably is not NOW a muslim. The bits of history that Barack Hussein Obama cannot conceal, however, does reveal that he was born and raised as a muslim. Later in life, he was convinced by his wife&#45;&#45;&#45;the lovely Michelle&#45;&#45;&#45;that if he wanted to seek political office, he would have to become a Christian (even though he never formally converted to Christianity).


The church he joined (where for 20+ years, he saw and heard NOTHING) is a hotbed of anti&#45;White and anti&#45;Jewish hatred. He and his mentor embraced and celebrated Jesse (Hymietown) Jackson, Calypso Louie FarraKKKlan, and a host of other gems. He also aligned crimilnals, and with Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers&#45;&#45;&#45;factual killers of police and civilians in their bombings and SDS/Weatherman activities.


Other than hiding behind his claimed &#8220;Christianity,&#8221; Obama is more a Marxist or Leninist, than a member of any recognized Christian faith.


What I find interesting is that many of the names on this list of Rabbinic vermin are the same as I have seen &#45;&#45;&#45;FOR YEARS&#45;&#45;&#45;on other lists for every other left&#45;wing cause. I guess these losers hope to one day parley their disloyalty to Judaism for a real job&#45;&#45;&#45;perhaps (G&#45;d forbid) in the Obama administration.


Although they all claim to be rabbis, most are unemployed losers or ham&#45;eating golden calf worshipers.


I wish them well, and hope that they eventually find the right mental health medication that will control their psychosis.</description>

      <description>Rick&#45;&#45;You hit the nail on the head.


I am an Orthodox Jew, a Cohain, and Chabad member. The names on this list of CLERICAL ERRORS is a virtual Who&#8217;s Who of gays, lesbians, ham&#45;eaters, golden calf worshipers, dirtball hippies and unemployed liberal imbeciles.


There are NO REAL RABBIS named on this list. Most of them are not even &#8220;pulpit Rabbis.&#8221; Some of them are lesbians and gays&#45;&#45;&#45;leading a  twisted deathstyle, in CLEAR violation of Torah.


When Hashem comes, They will be among the 80% who will be slaughtered. They are NOT Jews. They are extreme malcontents and leftists, who use their bogus ordinations as a wrapper to cover their stupid Marxist mental illness.


I know a few of these CLERICAL ERRORS. They are worthless purveyors of degenerate deathstyles, sin, defiling Torah, and do not even believe in Hashem. Most of them seek to give away Israel to our arab enemies.


Don&#8217;t worry. Their children (or the product of a turkey baster/lesbian &#8220;rabbi&#8221; coupling) will NOT be Jewish. They will be NOTHINGS!


These &#8220;rabbis&#8221; are a disease&#45;&#45;&#45;nothing more.</description>

I am an Orthodox Jew, a Cohain, and Chabad member. The names on this list of CLERICAL ERRORS is a virtual Who&#8217;s Who of gays, lesbians, ham-eaters, golden calf worshipers, dirtball hippies and unemployed liberal imbeciles.
</p>
<p>
There are NO REAL RABBIS named on this list. Most of them are not even &#8220;pulpit Rabbis.&#8221; Some of them are lesbians and gays---leading a  twisted deathstyle, in CLEAR violation of Torah.
</p>
<p>
When Hashem comes, They will be among the 80% who will be slaughtered. They are NOT Jews. They are extreme malcontents and leftists, who use their bogus ordinations as a wrapper to cover their stupid Marxist mental illness.
</p>
<p>
I know a few of these CLERICAL ERRORS. They are worthless purveyors of degenerate deathstyles, sin, defiling Torah, and do not even believe in Hashem. Most of them seek to give away Israel to our arab enemies.
</p>
<p>
Don&#8217;t worry. Their children (or the product of a turkey baster/lesbian &#8220;rabbi&#8221; coupling) will NOT be Jewish. They will be NOTHINGS!
</p>
<p>
These &#8220;rabbis&#8221; are a disease---nothing more.

      <description>Those deliberately lying about Obama and trying to hide the gross failure, waste, and missed opportunity of the past 8 years due to subverted Republican policies should be ashamed. 


Obama is a Christian, but if you care about that sort of thing, more importantly, he has a history of fighting for civil rights in and out of the court. 


Guilty&#45;by&#45;association of inner&#45;city religious leaders and co&#45;workers at U. Chicago? While he was involved in those pushing our communities forward, his opposition was under corruption investigations where *we have officially documented how much was made, which is more than what most people will make in 10 years*. That is clearly an issue for a *presidential campaign*, and not only has Obama warned his campaign that he will fire anyone discussing Palin&#8217;s family, he has still not pressed on true ethics concerns. Instead, he calls for policy debates&#8212;Palin won&#8217;t have an interview without control over the interviewer, and McCain has canceled and refused to schedule debates. Media is owned by four corporations, and thus the Republican machine is able to get away with titillating red&#45;herrings and smears while avoiding the debates Obama is rightfully trying to get the country to face.


He wasn&#8217;t in the worst 1% of military school; he was the editor of Harvard Law Review, and despite U. Chicago wanting him as a full&#45;time faculty member, thought he could make more of a difference by standing before us this year and all those years of passing legislation before.


McCain didn&#8217;t pick Palin as a potential replacement with similar policies: he only met with her a few times before in her brief career, and, in most if not all of those occasions, voted against her. She was picked over Lieberman and popular Republicans because of her appeal to the fundamentalist base, as a cynical appeal to women, and, largely, as an attempt to take the focus off his largely Bush&#45;era party&#45;line (90% in lock&#45;step!) approach.


The most powerful nation in the history&#8230; reading replies like the ones here are sickening. Why are we talking about drilling, an inconsequential topic in terms of energy in the long haul, instead of nuclear power and shrinking physics departments that dissuade students from focusing on it at a research level? Instead of talking about the possibility of having 3 simultaneous wars to &#8216;help the people&#8217;, how about using those billions (trillions?) on other human rights issues, like access to clean water?


These elections are embarrassing farces for such a powerful nation, and I&#8217;m ashamed of people who feed into it. Who are you really lying to? There were as many protesters as delegates at the RNC&#8212;how much more do we have to subject the world and ourselves to until we wake up?</description>

&#8220;Inspired by Jewish values?!&#8221; What a perversion! Obama is a Muslim, and associates himself with evil and deceitful individuals.

      <description>Rabbis,

As a Conservative Jew, I am appalled and disappointed (not surprised) by these 300 Rabbis that have signed this letter.&amp;nbsp; 

 

Just a couple of points.&amp;nbsp; Does Tikum Olam not apply to the people of Iraq? They now have the opportunity for a better life due to the commitment of President Bush, America and many brave men and women who have fought so bravely? An evil Dictator who was slaughtering, and torturing his people, including women and children has been removed and no longer represents a threat to his people.&amp;nbsp; Is this something we as Jews cannot be proud of?&amp;nbsp; Do we not know and remember that Freedom is never free and always a price to pay.

 

Secondly, &#8220;guilt by association&#8221; represents reprehensible judgment on Senator Obama&#8217;s part. His close association with Rev. Wright should deem this man unfit to serve the American people.&amp;nbsp; Surely, the Anti Semitic hate speech of Black Liberation Theology, the hate speech against the United States, and whites preached in Obama&#8217;s church should appall all Americans, Jews,and Rabbis. Jews would not listen to David Duke for 20 years. Why is Reverend Wright OK? Jews would not listen to their Rabbis give sermons preaching such hate for one Yom Kippur, or 5 Shabbat minutes let alone for 20 years. To trivialize Obama&#8217;s &#8220;associations&#8221; such as Rev. Wright, Louis Farakahn, William Ayers, etc. is a travesty and blindness I feel on all your parts. 

 

If you want &#8220;smear,&#8221; nothing compares to the smear campaign the Obama camp is laying on Sarah Palin, the first Republican woman VP candidate ever. The Democrats, and media are even attacking her children.

 

Continue to vote for Liberal candidates regardless of who they are, and what they represent if you must.&amp;nbsp; It is certainly your rights as Americans, but please don&#8217;t wrap Obama&#8217;s candidacy in Jewish precepts as Tikum Olam to rationalize support for a candidate who arguably is not qualified for the highest position in the land, and who&#8217;s friends, associates, and clergy are highly suspect.</description>

      <description>Wrong. 


Plain and simple. Neither McCain nor Obama are going to do anything. I almost hope for Obama to win so I can laugh this time next year when things are no different. Mind you I won&#8217;t be laughing at the struggles people will be having. People will still be paying high taxes, high gas prices. giving up their liberties. Here&#8217;s the best advice you will ever receive: Get rid of credit cards, Pay off your debts and live within your means. The borrower is slave to the lender. Translation, if you have no debts then all the money you get to keep from the government can go into the bank or ira or gold or whatever. Then if you lose a job or prices continue to rise you won&#8217;t be a casualty. It&#8217;s a shame how far we&#8217;ve fallen from the &#8220;greatest generation&#8221; to the self gratification generation</description>

      <description>Pay no attention to these rabbis&#45;&#45;there were also Jews who told other Jews that the cattle cars were going to take them to nice country resorts until the war was over. Most of them believed it, or wanted to believe it so badly that they forced themselves to believe it.


Obama has proven himself as a promoter and enabler of anti&#45;Semites by not only appearing with but endorsing Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. Google on Sharpton and &#8220;Freddy&#8217;s Fashion Mart&#8221; to learn more, or learn about how Sharpton&#8217;s followers reenacted the Night of the Broken Glass in Crown Heights while Sharpton denounced the Jews as &#8220;diamond merchants.&#8221;


Sharpton is but one example. Obama&#8217;s church called for divestment from Israel and questioned Israel&#8217;s legitimacy, and even published a blood libel of Israel (and also the U.S.). The above rabbis can&#8217;t bring themselves to ask about these things, just as the Judenrat members refused to wonder why no letters or other correspondence, let alone Jews, ever came back from those nice &#8220;country resorts.&#8221;</description>

Religious figures should stay out of politics. The results are always the same. Disaster.


Of course&#8230; Only the Republicans are the true party of God.

      <description>Dear Rabbis...Is it any wonder our intermarriage rate is so high?&amp;nbsp; With the moral relativism exhibited by the signors of this document our young people would be foolish to look to the rabbinate as a source of guidance. “we feel it is our duty as Jewish leaders to fight for the truth and against Lashon Hara.”  Is there any pulpit rabbi signatory who believes if he/she spewed the hatred exhibited by the Pastor of Obama&#8217;s church of 20 years, within 24 hours there would be a revolt in your synagogue/temple?&amp;nbsp; Lashon Hara by those questioning Obama?&amp;nbsp; The signers of this document have let down all of us who are not Orthodox Jews, and at one time, foolishly believed our rabbinic leadership might be a source of guidance and wisdom.</description>

      <description>&#8220;More than 300 rabbis from across the country and across the denominations are publicly backing Barack Obama for president&#8221;

Can someone do me a favor and list any of the Rabbis mentioned who are from the Orthodox denomination of Judaism??????? Something tells me most if not all the Rabbis listed are from those denominations of Judaism which have corrupted true Torah Judaism to accommodate their assimilated liberal westernized lifestyles, to the point where many of them have made a complete mockery of the very Religion they say they represent.</description>

      <description>&#8220;Senator Barack Obama inspires in us the hope for an America once more called to its best values. We know him to be a man of incredible integrity, born of a deep and abiding spiritual faith based on the teachings of the Hebrew Prophets, and committed to achieving a world of peace with justice for all people.&#8221;

Are you people out of your minds? What (Jewish) values and teachings of the Hebrew prophets? Late term abortion? Same sex marriage? Kindness to evil? &#8220;incredible integrity&#8221;? How did he get that million doller plus house and land at a steal and what are his exact connections to Mr. Resko? Caring for others?? A guy who b4 he was running gave less then 2% of his income to the poor / charity!! Wake up you self hating Jews!! The fact that you have the title Rabbi makes your twisting of the Torah commandmants even worse.</description>
