Obama campaign launches ‘Rabbis for Obama’ (Gallup has it 68% to 25% among Jewish voters)
Yahoo! News ^ | 8/21/12 | Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign unveiled "Rabbis for Obama"—a group of more than 600 rabbis from across the country—at a time when Republicans are hoping to erode the Democrat's wide lead among Jewish voters.

"Their ringing endorsement of President Obama speaks volumes about the president's deep commitment to the security of the state of Israel and his dedication to a policy agenda that represents the values of the overwhelming majority of the American Jewish community," Ira Forman, the campaign's Jewish Outreach Director, said in a statement.

The announcement came with a state-by-state list of the rabbis backing Obama, who leads Romney 68 percent to 25 percent among Jewish voters according to a recent Gallup poll.

It says more about the pathetic state of Judaism in America. Although, the list of Rabbis does show that Obama knows he is in trouble with Jews and is trying to use Rabbinic influence to pull some of those votes back. Anyone want to guess what percentage of the Rabbis are Reform?

I have absolutely zero against Jews and Blacks, but their blind support of the democratic party is maddening enough to turn a nice guy into a racist.

I pray for the American Jews. Why in the Lords name would they follow a socialist? It is beyond comprehension, or maybe not.

With people like Wasserman Schultz and all the lies she spews no wonder they follow obama. Blind leading the blind.

So sad. :(

This is a repeat of the 2008 Rabbis for Obama. Sultan Knish wrote about them back then:

"October 28, 2008 Exclusive: Rabbis for Obama Exposed as front group for radical Hamas appeasement supporters" .

The website rabbisforobama.org link no longer reflects the identities of these rabbis (mine was on that decrepit list), even through Internet archive. The link is good, but the list of rabbis is no longer posted. Dhimmi-Cowards, the lot of them, buying their own train tickets to the ovens.

The only thing that turns me against any person or group is if they support the Obamadork.

Supporting that idiot in these times is very very close to treason.

An out of control overreaching socialist government nearly exterminated the Jews from the face of the earth and they still support socialism/communism/Marxism even to the point of lying to us and trying to say that Odumbo supports Israel.

From Marx to Saul Alinsky to a bunch of Rabbis, the numbers tells us Jews hate this country and the founders.

I used to back off to the notion of Reformed Jews (or whatever they call themselves) but given the percentage who voted for this Jew hating, muslim loving POS was well over 70% and now still in the high 60%. Sorry but something is seriously wrong.

How can such an intelligent people love a man who would give muslims a free hand in their destruction?

Maybe there is such a thing as a parallel universe but this type of thinking is so absurd it must come from a perpendicular universe.

I know there is no hope for voting intelligence from the overtly racist black community but I am very disappointed in what I thought were our Jewish friends.

I guess they must be the survivors of “Rabbis for Hitler” - I never knew Jews had such a death wish!

I think they got the idea from Jimmy Carter's 1980 "Rabbits for Carter" group.

No kidding! These people would sell gas chambers to the Germans if they could make a buck off of it. Jews in this country sure have a short memory, and that’s very sad. Some of them even go so far as to refer to Israel as “that shitty little country in the ME that’s causing all the trouble.”

Convince me the numbers do not reflect the issue of abortion.
