Jews are alot more rational than you may think. Many Jews will not be offended by Ann Coulter. They will know she is a friend, she does not threaten them.
If Jews viewed Ann as a threat you would see it in Jewish blogs all over the place that she is a threat. But she is not and the most Jews will do is have a discussion about it and conclude ‘no big deal’. This is mostly non-news to them. They know that most Christians or people calling themselves Christians have her view, that the Messiah came whereas they believe He has not yet come.
I wouldn’t worry about losing Jewish votes. Most Jews vote democrat because historically they clustered in urban areas controlled by democrats. Jews that get out of the urban areas start to gravitate to Republicans over time but not right away. Look at Palm Beach and Broward counties, many Jews there are transplants from NYC, a liberal democrat bastion.
The Jewish experience is one of identifying like with like, of clustering together to find common themes and histories, of discovering purpose together. They cluster together because it is natural to do so. And if their cluster leadership is oriented to democrats then the rest follow suit. Same as unions.
But look at Rabbi Lapin. Is he going to be insulted by Coulter? No, he’s far too intelligent for that. In fact I would wager he won’t give it a second thought unless someone presses him about it.
From #62 of the link:
Name: Geoff
City: New York State:
She is not threatening us with violence, and, as long as we know who we are and why, she really doesn`t represent any kind of a threat to Jews or Judaism. If we don`t know, whose fault is that? Not hers. However, you do have to wonder why she says these sorts of things. Could it be because she loves the attention it gets her, not to mention the reactions from various people?
And if you look into the link you will see the full spectrum of viewpoints. Will Ann and her alleged faux pas cause a shift in the spectrum of Jewish viewpoints? Nah, this will be forgotten in a week, or less.
How to get the Jewish vote? Given them upward mobility especially along paths of merit and they will vote for you.
While I am not a Jew, I am married to a Jewish woman who votes Democrat. From what I know from having Jewish friends and family is that they vote Democrat because they see the GOP as being married to the Christian Right. But yes, many vote Democrat because they live in the City but across America Jews vote Democrat at higher rates than African Americans, Mexican Americans or Muslims.
