Democratic Rep.: Palin pick is 'direct affront to all Jewish Americans' [Wexler]
Haaretz (Israel) ^ | August 29, 2008 | Haaretz Staff

Posted on 09/01/2008 8:55:58 AM PDT by justiceseeker93

Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida lashed out Saturday at John McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, accusing her of supporting "Nazi sympathizer" Pat Buchanan and branding the move an "affront to all Jewish Americans."

"John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans," said a statement by Wexler.

Lying filth.

His own party’s presidential candidate worked for years for and with terrorist bombers who publicly expressed support for the Manson family murders.

To hear this coming from a supporter of Clinton (the most anti-Jewish President in modern times) and Obama is hypocricy so rank, it defies description.

SMACK!!!

That's the sound of another Democrat hack reaching out too far trying to tag Palin with irrelevant criticism -- and falling flat on his face.

Let's get all the old non-news out in the open today, preferably before dinnertime. Then we can get back to discussing the issues relevant to a presidential election like grownups.

TO ALL:

“Palin pick is ‘direct affront to all Jewish Americans’”

BS!

Wexler is dealing the ‘Jewish’ card.

Any Jew will tell you that this card is ONLY to be used in an emergency.

Jews, don’t overplay it like blacks do.

Wexler is playing this card for political purposes.

It is HE that is an ‘affront’ to Jewish Americans.

Jewish Americans should cancel Wexler’s Jew-card for misuse!

STE=Q

Oh, you’re right about Carter. Clinton is the second most anti-Jewish President in modern times.

There are two never altering truth about liberals: they will lie about everything to serve their purposes and they are complete hypocrites.

...Low life conman is busy down here trying to con Jewish seniors for Hussein...

From reports I'm getting over the 'Net, he isn't coming over very well pitching BO to the Jewish seniors. That's why he's coming up with this BS trying to link Palin to Buchanan, and hence to Nazism. I hope it backfires big-time for the 'Rats.

Barry Soetoro, their Indonesian nominee, is a direct affront to every American citizen.

Let's not forget that until he can produce a bona fide American birth certificate, his candidacy for president is an affront to the Constitution.

It has driven the left insane

They are scared $hitless of her.

She has the power to change the dynamics of situations in her direction.This really scares the left

There will be more attacks on Palin then on McCain for that reason.

"If I were a Christian, I would be embarrased and enraged each time Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc. opened their mouths."

You're right --- I know I am about 80% of the time those clowns speak!

Oh, by the way -- I'm not yet conceding that Obama is a Christian..... I believe the truth about Obama's "religion" is still unknown...

You have to give poor Congressman Wexler a break and keep his statements in context. I mean, this is a guy who probably wakes up every morning and thinks that breakfast is an affront to all Jewish Americans because the toast isn't made from unleavened bread.

Halakhah has nothing to do with Wexler's prejudices.

Besides, unleavened bread is required only during Pesach. "Enriched bread" can't be eaten with meat at all (when not eaten with meat it's okay). When is the "official Jewish community" going to turn its attention from "women's reproductive choice" to a real Jewish issue like enriched bread?

I hope that would come to pass, but, from what I hear, he doesn't know where "home" is.

Would anyone know what % Jewish his district is?

My parents live in the district (but are gentile). I heard one demographer tell me that the congressional district was 45% Jewish, and another tell me that it is actually 60% Jewish. I do know for a fact that it is the most heavily Jewish congressional district in the United States.

My parents neighbors will be returning Wexler to congress. He could get reelected if he flew a swastika, ate a pulled pork sandwich, and refused to call his mother.

The Wiki site doesn’t give religious breakdown, but the Florida district that Wexler represents is 86.6% white, with a “Cook Partisan Voting Index” score of D +21. It is in the part of FL that is heavily Jewish, mostly older FDR worshippers who sincerely believe their right arm will fall off if they ever vote Republican.

The Maryland district where Wexler lives has similar demographics, maybe not so heavily Jewish, but lib Dems.

For what it’s worth, Sarah Palin has an Israeli flag on display in her Governor’s office.

Obama, in contrast, flies the Palestinian flag in his Senatorial office (just kidding).
