An angry "Tea Party" movement that Republican leaders hope to harness to boost their party's chances in the in the 2010 congressional midterm elections could also be a potential blow to GOP outreach to minorities - including Jewish voters.

"It's not a danger at the moment, but it bears watching," said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "We've seen this before, and it always carries with it the risk the militants and extremists really will get a foothold. All such manifestations are threatening to minorities."
In a report last year, the ADL warned that the Tea Partiers are part of a broader trend that also includes resurgent "militias," "birthers," and other extremists, bound together by "an intense strain of anti-government distrust and anger, colored by a streak of paranoia and belief in conspiracies."

Please read the whole article; it has many more asinine comments other than those of Foxman and the ADL, including pot shots at Sarah Palin, the "Wicked Witch of the West" in the perverse mindset these jerks.
Brain-dead liberal garbage. I’m not going to bother reading this hatefull crap.
78% of American Jews voted for the Moslem candidate endorsed by Hamas, named “Hussein.”
Perhaps when Hussein’s done helping Iran acquire nukes, and done funding Hamas (he immediately gave them $90 million), only 75% of American Jews will vote for him in 2012.
If Omoslem’s track record doesn’t get Jews voting Republican, NOTHING WILL.
Yeah look how much good McCain's "reaching out" did for him. Gimme a break. A liberal 'RAT is always going to be a liberal 'RAT.
Other people the Tea Parties are alienating:
young people
Old People
Hispanics
blacks
Women
non Christians
white people
college grads
high school drop outs
So as you can see, we the media are telling the truth when we say Tea Partiers don’t matter. :)
Wishful thinking by the author. The great love this president has for the world’s anti-semites has not gone unnoticed. Though it won’t be a public outcry, Jewish-Americans will abandon this jerk on non-TeaParty-related reasons.
Actually, many of the leftist Jews who voted for Obammie the Commie do not support the Israel state.
Of course, they are cultural Jews mainly, not religious, and use their cultural identity to push their political agenda, like all the rest of the left who play Identify Politics.
Jewish liberals have become the monsters their grandparents learned to fear. Their tactics are more akin to that of the NAZIs and communists, than are any of their opponents among the conservatives.
The Jewish vote is so volatile, with massive swings depending on how well Republicans court it.
Obama had to manage with only 78% but that was better than Kerry’s dismal 76%, that was a decline from the Gore support of 79%, which was a slight improvement over Clinton’s 78% which was lower than the 80% that Clinton had gotten in 1992.
The JDL better realize but soon that their greatest enemy on these shores is the Obamaloon administration.
Should that piece of excrement stay in office another term though, their greatest enemy will then be the imported terrorists - actively defended by the pond scum currently running the country.
JDL, howz about coming into this century, eh?
Tea Party Candidates Take Congress. Democrat's Donors & Most Loyal Voters Hit Hardest
When Obama’s dirty Moslems come after the American Jews, those Jews will suddenly be screaming “HELP!” at the nearest Christian Republican with a shotgun.
By then, it will be too late.
You are so right. It is sad and pathetic that people will support the very organizations and politicians that would gladly see them erased from the face of the earth. I wish I could believe it would be different, but I suffer from being a realist.
This isn’t journalism. This is, fit as much slander, DNC talking points and projection into one page. That kind of stupid ought to hurt.
My wife is part Jew. Her grandmaother came over just before WWII changed her name and move to a small town in the country. Till her death she claimed she was not Jew. My wife supports the tea party ideals of limited government. The Nazi’s like the dumbacrate are big government. My wife caannot understand why any Jews would vote Dumbacrate.
This would be the same Foxman who called Rush Limbaugh, a great friend of Israel, anti-semetic? And was then roundly denounced by the internet?
Foxman’s support of Obama is probably the greatest danger to Jews at the moment.
Ping!!!
This is dumb. Foxman is a radical leftist, nobody should take his word for anything.
Are you telling me that all jewish people want higher and higher taxes?
Self-described Jewish Americans will only abandon Obama to latch on to another liberal statist. They are one of the most reliably far left groups in the Country. I wouldn't waste a dime trying to win over their votes. True defenders of Israel know which party to support.
>> An angry “Tea Party” movement
What does it mean to be angry? Do the persecuted get angry? Do slaves get angry? Does the battered wife get angry?

Leftism is dangerous, bears watching, and no group is immune from being infected by it.
