Just got an email from a Republican schoolmate (a Jewish guy who's a bit of a NeoCon). This video
flipped him from McCain-Palin to Obama-Biden:

His comment, "They see no separation between church and state, do they? I expected better of McCain."

5. Of course not, but many Jews (even those of the NeoCon persuasion) have a keen appreciation of the
importance of the Second Amendment's prohibition against blurring the line prohibiting a state religion.

10. Sorry if I sounded harsh. This was the SECOND time I'd seen this error in the past couple of days.
Didn't correct it the last time, thought I'd hop in here.

Clearly those five freedonms were of PRIME importance to the Founders. I hope they manage to survive the next few years. The fourth amendment seems to be far gone.

13. Hope you send him the stuff on the Jews for Jesus preaching
in her church with her there as I hear 2 weeks ago!

We now find out that there was a collection for Jews For Jesus in the church that Palin attended on August 17. Did Palin donate? Or is that another question we are not allowed to ask? This was also not the first time Brickner had spoken at Palin's church. Despite radio silence on this from the right-wing media, some Jewish groups have managed to get a response from Michael Goldfarb:

A spokesman for the McCain campaign, Michael Goldfarb, said Palin did not know Brickner would be speaking that day and did not share his views. Church pastor Larry Kroon confirmed that Palin, the governor of Alaska who was chosen last week by U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to join his GOP presidential ticket, would have had no way of knowing that Brickner was slated to speak.

“Governor Palin does not share the views he expressed, and she and her family would not have been sitting in the pews of this church for the last seven years if his remarks were even remotely typical,” Goldfarb wrote in an e-mail.

Following Brickner’s sermon, Kroon took up an offering for Jews for Jesus and prayed that Jews would come to accept Jesus.
