WASHINGTON – More than 600 rabbis displayed their support for US President Barack Obama's reelection bid on Tuesday, joining a campaign initiative called Rabbis for Obama.

Obama for America announced Tuesday that Rabbis for Obama is designed to “engage and mobilize grassroots supporters.”

The rabbis represent themselves and not individual synagogues or organizations, according to the news release. The names of all the rabbis can be found on the website barackobama.com/rabbis. Most of the rabbis are Reform or Conservative, although a handful are Orthodox.

A broad group of almost no Orthodox Rabbis.

Maybe it’s time for Republicans to stop worrying about Israel. If the jews in America are too stupid to know who supports them, let them be. Let Israel loose to defend herself, let’s drill our own oil and stay the heck out of the middle east. Oh, and let’s deport all Arabs and Muslims while we’re at it and put up one huge fence.

Then let’s deport all liberals/progressives/occupiers/communists/socialists to the communist country of their choice.

Utopia.

I’m a second generation Christian with a long ancestry in Judaism. I have many cousins and nephews and a few still living aunts that are adherents of Judaism and all that I have spoken to have said they will not vote for Obama. If this is a trend the Rabbis may back Obama but their congregation may not be so inclined.

How thoroughly and completely disgusting! These are not men of Yah they are “players.” Anyone who would support a platform of slaughtering babies has a curse on them and it is exhibited in twisted thinking. Scripture says they will call good evil and evil good. Here is a prime example. Don't think these men will escape the Judgment of Yahweh!

re: I have many cousins and nephews and a few still living aunts that are adherents of Judaism

There's your explanation in your own words: Your family members are actual adherents of Judaism. They actually believe in Judaism. They aren't JINO’s, whose real faith is in liberalism, not God.

The earth should open and swallow these kapos whole.

Along with their ‘golden’ calf.

A Yiddish lesson for all Freepers. The word for vommit in Yiddish is “brech” (the ‘ch’ being the same as in Chanukkah...or, if you speak Spanish, ‘j’ like jota)

I read this article and brech....

Are you sure that’s not Rabbits for Obama?

Let us not forget that a great many of Reform "rabbis" may not even BE Jewish. The Reform count people fathered by a Jew from a non-Jewish spouse as Jews, contrary to halacha (Jewish law). They also count women as "rabbis", contrary to halacha. They pick and choose what Jewish laws they feel like following, leaving what must be observed to human logic (theirs) rather than Divine wisdom. They are thus as arrogant as they are ignorant. Therefore, their opinions or political choices are meaningless as far as being from a Jewish perspective.

The unfortunate people (who may or may not be Jews for the reason stated above) who look to these charlatans as spiritual leaders are not even aware that they are being led astray at the least and are being outright robbed of the profound truth and beauty of their religion if they are truly Jews. The disgraceful chicanery of these Reform "rabbis" of supporting a pig who has shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that he will undermine Israel and be a friend to her enemies is ample proof that they are not fit to even be called Jews (even if they were born to a Jewish mother) let alone be entrusted to lead a congregation. They are willing conspirators to the destruction of Israel and the United States.

The Conservative "rabbis" are but a tick behind the Reform charlatans. Once you decide that YOU are qualified to decide what to pick to observe and what doesn't need to be observed, you are as naugahyde is to real leather as far as your Jewish observance. Doesn't matter if Reform "rabbis" observe 10% of halacha and Conservative "rabbis" observe 90% of halacha. If you are violating the law, you are a fake and have no business leading a congregation, the blind leading the blinder. And you certainly have NO business giving comfort to an avowed enemy of Israel and the United States. Fie on you!

Time to go to bed....I thought the headline said 600 rabbits were backing Obama....

I’m not Catholic but whenever I see a “You can’t be Catholic and pro-choice” bumper sticker, I nod in agreement. I’m also not Jewish, but maybe someone needs to create a “You can’t be a Rabbi and vote for Obama” bumper sticker.

Are these real Jews or just Jews for the extra holidays they get off work?

Is that Obamulke in Post 5 for real?
