Barack Obama has struggled for 18 months to lock down the support of a traditionally Democratic group, Jewish voters.
In the past week, John McCain may have helped Obama with his Jewish problem by choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate....
"There is almost always an inverse proportion between a candidate's popularity among conservative Christians and secular Jews," said Jeff Ballabon, a Republican lobbyist long active in Jewish politics who supports McCain.
An illustration of that gap came just two weeks ago, when Palin's church, the Wasilla Bible Church, gave its pulpit over to a figure viewed with deep hostility by many Jewish organizations: David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus.
Palin's pastor, Larry Kroon, introduced Brickner on Aug. 17, according to a transcript of the sermon on the church's website.
"He's a leader of Jews for Jesus, a ministry that is out on the leading edge in a pressing, demanding area of witnessing and evangelism," Kroon said...
Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.
Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her....

Cue the awjeez guy.
You are right, McCain should have picked Lieberman.
Isn't Demoncrat mathematics fun!?
And some how Reverand WRIGHT is okay?
He HATES Jews. He HATES WHITES. He loves to “dam” America at large and subscribes to BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY.
AMAZING!
Was Reverend Wright a “guest speaker” at his church for 20 years?
Again -- somebody on the Internet can figure this out, and McCain and his people can't?
That would have been WORSE.
The health of "journalism" is poor, indeed.
Yet, they'll vote for Obama who wants to give credibility to AmaNutJob in Iran by having "talks" with him
Unreal
Did you forget a /sarcasm tag or .... ?
Politico BARF ALERT!
Why, I believe this is a steve-b thread.
Ah,now, this is real funny. Left Wingers hate the Jews. That is funny. On just about any blog site, LW’rs advocate exterminating the Jews and eliminating Israel, supporting the PLO and the Hamas, and making Jerusalem the capitol of an Arab country. And, Louis “Kill all the Jews” Farrakhan and Al “burn the Jews in their houses” Sharpton are Barak’s close friends.
Jeez, man...can you just go the F(&%(& elsewhere??? You’re like Alan Colmes, you pick up on the medias bashing and run with it....you simply have no sense....you dont belong here.
YOU FORGOT your talking point this morning...vetting vetting vetting...what’s the new buzz word???

Perdogg, just wait until Sarah Palin goes on the late night TV shows and people see how down-to-earth and likable she is. This will help get more people to vote for McCain. Lieberman peaked a long time ago. He would not do much to help. If - at this point - someone isn’t convinced McCain/Palin is the way to go, then they will never crossover anyway.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
McCain figures most people will know the diffrence between a guest speaker and a racist pastor.
Your falling for the pathetic attempt at comparing the church experiences of Barry and Sarah Palin is surprising, and just exactly what the MSM is after.
