On war photo, Palin again speaks out of righteous ignorance (Alaska-sized Barf Alert)
EXAMINER ^ | 08 SEPTEMBER 2009 | Rabbi Ben Kamin

Posted on 09/08/2009 3:19:51 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

The self-appointed leader of the lowly opposition, a person whose greatest single summer feat was to walk away from the job the people of Alaska elected her to do, a twitchy woman who challenged President Obama to an arm wrestling match earlier year, has now gathered her credentials to speak on the moral complexities of war, media, responsibility, and family grief.

Sarah Palin called the Associated Press's decision to release a battlefield photo of a dying Marine over the family's objection "an evil thing to do." Lacking a podium, a network, or a job, she again relied on her Facebook page to make this sermonic declaration. Palin, who widely distributed photographs of herself hunched above a bloody moose she had just slaughtered during her 2008 vice-presidential campaign, called the photograph “a sacred image.” (The only implied comparison here has to do with the ex-gov's under-enlightened photographic sensitivity).

He compared the photo of Sara with a moose she had hunted to a picture of a dying soldier laying on a battlefield?

Typical idiot lib.

I am sure the moose’s family was quite upset to see that picture in their morning paper!

After all, the moose had just given his all for his nation and should have been respected.

Sheesh.

“Palin, who widely distributed photographs of herself hunched above a bloody moose she had just slaughtered during her 2008 vice-presidential campaign, called the photograph “a sacred image.”

Only a moronic, twisted, liberal (but, I repeat myself) would draw a moral equivalence between a picture of a recently harvested moose; and the picture of a dying human being.

I’m not going to say what I really think about the rabbi. I’ll leave it at this: I think they had to scalp him when he was eight days old.

To the Left, Palin is a quitter. Van Jones is a victim of Glenn Beck’s smears.

I think Palin does have something to say about the Afghan War since her son is serving overseas.

It seems that this Rabbi is one of those liberal, self-hating Jews, who are hastening the threats to Israel. That's just an educated guess based on the cr*p contained in this article.

He doesn't seem to be worth the effort to look up his particulars.

I posted this at the site: Pay close attention Rabbi. You are committing heresy. Heresy of the highest order. I do not pretend to know your faith, as well as you do. I do know that many of your fellow Jews in Israel would not take kindly to your politics. Please sit down with Ahmadinajad. I’m sure your welcome at his table. Ask him to supply you with some pictures of dead Jewish soldiers. I’m sure he would be more than happy to oblige. I’m sure you would like to post them. You sir are repugnant. Keep supporting our anti Israel President, and see what that gets you.

the only reason the left wants that picture shown is to increase disgust with the war. it worked in Viet Nam when they started sending back live feeds and they want to repeat the strategy.
What they don’t seem to understand is the right does not want the war anymore than they do. We just understand its necessary.
And Rabbi,that was crap writing that began with venom and degraded into a wandering formless pile of nothing.

Rabbi, Sarah quit, so what. Does that mean that she has no right to voice her opinion on the current topics of the day? Or are you more upset that the narrative from the Left is not listened to by the American people, that her Facebook members has grown exponentially since her resignation, and that her “death panels” comment may have short-circuited the public option in the Obama healthcare bill?

Admit it Rabbi, you folks are choked up by the fact that Sarah Palin eluded your full court press that you levelled against her through the actions of the Alaskan anklebiters. In a way you got hoisted by your own petard.

I am sure that if it was you son or daughters picture you would have a different view. Had it been Sara's son you better believe the press would have never publish it. The last thing the commie press would want is the nation to morn with Sara.
I have often wonder why the press never showed all those poor souls who jumped of the world trade center. Was it out of respect for their families or was it something else?

A comment by some coward named Tim:

Tim says: The only thing better than the picture of Joshua Bernard would be Track Palin with his guts spilled out on the ground. Would serve her right for sending her kid off to war for her personal political gain. September 8, 9:38 AM

I'd suggest some replies to Tim.

No hassle to post at all. Ask bailoutistan.

I know of several liberals that would say that the killing of the moose is much worse. The moose was just minding its own business and innocent. A soldier is trying to kill another human being.

Some of them will say that, while eating a hamburger. They’re “liberals” — wherever they’re standing is the “moral high ground” (in their twisted thinking, in what passes for their mind).

Out of respect for the man’s parents, the AP shouldn’t have published the photograph.

1. During that campaign, when she was giving speeches every day, she has time to go Moose hunting as well? What a woman!

2. Rabbi can't tell a moose from a caribou either.,

This is the liberal socialist mind at work. A dead moose is more deserving of our love and respect and grief than a dead US military soldier. Because the soldier deserves it. He is a hateful, violent tool of the evil military machine. He deserves his death, and the more painful the better. The poor innocent moose is a noble citizen of the world of equal standing and deserving of right equal to humans.

This is the liberal socialist mind at work, that thrives in that Baghdad by the Bay, called San Francisco.

I lived there for most of the last 14 years, and it nearly wiped me out. I enjoyed being a potential felon for the months that my handguns were banned by the city of San Francisco. Nightly, I pray for the big earthquake to move San Francisco a mile and a half closer to Hawaii. (OK, I don’t really, but I can still dream can’t I?)

In 2004, Audrey and Ben Kamin co-founded Reconciliation: The Synagogue Without Walls, a privately-operated consulting agency for interfaith relations, pastoral and communal. Ben represents the agency as a director of San Diego’s Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice.

Kamin was banned from the San Diego Rabbinical Association after creating, in 2004, an independent agency that services interfaith situations called Reconciliation: The Synagogue Without Walls

That is the beauty of San Francisco. Ask “how stupid can libs get” and then just pick a random name from the phone book, which almost guarantees a prime example. That city is teeming with dellusional Obama supporters singing Kumbaya and shredding the “living” Constitution.

I mean, everyone withing a 3 miles radius of the Pacific Heights homes of Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein are automatically irradiated with liberal communist “stupid”.

Ben Kamin:

In Year 2024 Palin’s Grandchild a ‘Bastard,’ Loser Palin Operates a ‘Lenscrafters,’ Hates Grandson

Apparently, Rabbi Ben Kamin thinks he’s a funny guy. Yes, he must be auditioning for SNL with his latest column on the Examiner.com, a Denver based, Internet news service. You see, to devise the newest way to smear Governor Sarah Palin, the “Rabbi” thought it would be hilarious to wonder what the life of Palin’s grandchild, son-to-be of Palin’s daughter Bristol, will be like in the year 2024. This odious attack piece imagines the boy being called “bastard” by everyone, imagines Palin to be a washed up, loser who fakes her love for the boy, presents Todd Palin as distant, disgruntled, loveless and depressed, and pits the boy in the role of a downtrodden, suicide risk without a father. All these smears against a child not yet even born!

Despite his obscene attempt at political analysis, this Kamin fellow somehow achieved the title of “Spiritual Life Examiner” with the Internet news outlet. I guess this so-called Rabbi is the Jewish version of Jeremiah “God damn America” Wright, because it just goes to show that claiming to be a man of God and actually living that charge are not necessarily one and the same.

So, how is it that Rabbi Kamin portrayed Palin’s grandchild to be? Well, not nicely, that is for sure. In the first paragraph, Kamin posits that “Buck Palin” is a poor high school student because of being mistreated by those in his school as well as those in his community and family. He is also lonely because no one will talk to him, according to the mythically rotten life that Rabbi Kamin has dreamed up for the boy.

Kamin paints a future Sarah Palin as a braggart constantly going about loudly proclaiming that she “paved the way for women in the United States of America” even though she “lost” the election for vice president back in 2008.

Then Kaim presents Todd Palin as a mentally disturbed, loner that “sleeps a lot” and disappears into the Alaskan wilderness all the time. Kamin also imagines that Grandpa Todd will only have closely associated with his own grandchild “once or twice” by the time the boy is 16.

Kamin imagines that the “security people” that stay with the family will call the boy a “bastard.” In fact, Kamin imagines that everyone will do so and that when people call him that it makes him feel “terrible.”

In fact, the truth is a lot of my friends in school have called me that: Bastard. They know my name is Buck but they still do it. It makes me feel terrible.

Next “Rabbi” Kamin imagines that an older Sarah Palin “obviously smiles” when she sees the boy showing that she is hiding her hatred for him. Then he says that her life is taken up by the opening and operation of a “new Lenscrafters store” in Wasilla that sells sunglasses with his mother Bristol’s name on them. Sarah is shown as a bitter woman in Kamin’s farcical, hatefest.

Next up, we have young “Buck Palin” lamenting that his father is distant and won’t talk to him. And then Kamin makes the joke that the boy was the “one they kept to rally the base” as if it would have been better for the boy to have been aborted instead of born. Finally, the boy decides that his Church is a lie and that he’ll refuse to attend because he isn’t “special.”

Apparently to support his dark political tenets of anti-life, Rabbi Kamin wants this poor child to have a life of hell to prove that aborting him would have been a better solution. I don’t know about you but I find this the most disturbing point of all in this ribald Rabbi’s hectoring hatemongering.
