New 'Jews for Sarah Palin' movement
New 'Jews for Sarah Palin' movement
Grassroots group seeking to roil Jewish political waters

PHILADELPHIA – A group of Jewish activists and academics will mark the state of Israel's independence day Sunday with a declaration of political independence of their own by launching a grassroots movement of Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin.

President Obama's growing rift with Israel is sparking powerful emotions in the American Jewish community and could have an electoral impact both this year and in 2012. Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin hopes to accelerate that trend.

"We have long admired Gov. Palin for her thoughtful positions on a range of issues, such as fiscal responsibility, health care, energy independence and against Islamic terrorism, not to mention her wonderful charisma and her role model as a highly successful working mom," Benyamin Korn, the group's founder and its website's editor, told WND.

"But the ugly fight that Obama has picked with Israel is stirring American Jews to action," Korn said, "and Gov. Palin has emerged, by far, as the president's most effective public critic."

~snip~

"It's really a call for Jews to become independent of this horrible administration," Korn said

~snip~

Korn emphasizes that JewsForSarah.com is not connected to Gov. Palin, nor is it specifically endorsing her for any political office. The group's mission statement says it is "dedicated to promoting consideration of Gov. Sarah Palin's political positions in the wider American Jewish community."

~snip~

Korn compares Palin to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

3. 'Christians' are for Jews for one reason.
Convert, or be killed so they can bring about the End Times and fly up to Heaven.



Why anyone of the Jewish Faith would trust a 'Christian' like that dumbfounds me.

4. Psst Hey Jewish People
Sarah thinks that the end of the world will start in Israel and that in the end times all
Jews will be burned alive by a loving God because they haven't accepted Jesus.

That you should be so lucky as to play some slap and tickle with that Geschmak Shiksa.
One would do well as to hook w/ Sarah because she can get lox @ wholesale.

BTW this has to be "spoof site" ..... "Gov. Palin’s track record in public office has been exemplary" :rofl:

8. Stupidity knows no boundaries.
There are stupid people in every race and creed.
Plenty of white people from Christian backgrounds - but I guess we're not all lumped together, and neither should anyone else be.

14. so the rumor that Jews were cultured, mature, smart, educated,
was totally unfounded?

I know and deal with regularly many people of jewish background. I have yet to find one who supports Sarah, except as an object of ridicule. Come to think of it, that applies to muslims, christians and nonbelievers I know, too.

Wait. There is one exception. my father thinks that she's beautiful and brilliant, and her supposed stupidity is simply an act. He points to her $12 million income as proof that she is outsmarting us. He almost had me convinced, when he said, "And George W. will go down as one of our best presidents ever."

I'll see what I can dig up about who's behind that website.

On Edit: For starters, it seems strange that the owners of that domain are using a domain anonymity service to hide their identity. http://whois.domaintools.com/jewsforsarah.com

Why are they hiding?

47. I've tried to dig around a little
but they seem to have done a pretty good job of covering their tracks. That, in itself, is curious.

They don't have a donation link. If they accepted donations they would have to reveal some information about themselves. To me this says that most likely their anonymity is more important to them than funding is. It also likely indicates that they have all of the funding they need. That would seem to point to it being something other than a grassroots organization.

30. She's the neo-con candidate. Kristol hand-picked her
because he likes his candidates cute and stupid, like Dubya.

they're much easier to manipulate because they really have no clue. how nasty is it that political talking heads want idiots in positions of power to perpetuate their own?

31. There is no reason why the American Jewish population
shouldn't represent the same cross-section of political leanings that the American population in total represents ... but academics supporting Sarah Palin??? :wtf: is it with that???`

You'd think that "academics" and Sarah Palin is an oxymoron, a mutually-exclusive situation.

And, as for Sarah Palin's "political positions" ... all I can say to that is ... OY GEVALT!

34. The Group Should Be Called "Likudniks For Mooselini"
Just like others in this thread, this American Jew does not subscribe to the verbose and destructive politics of the Likud (the Israeli equivelent of the Neo Cons) and the supposed "anger" with President Obama.

Sad to say there are some Jews in this country that are racist...the thought of a "schvarzer" as their leader is just as bad as the most rabid teabagger. This, of course, flies in the face with the similar discrimination Jews suffered and was a major reason why there were so many Jewish Americans walking hand in hand with the Civil Rights marchers in the 60s, but these self-hating Jews are totally ignorant...blinded by their own racism. Shameful.

Just like with the teabaggers, this segment is a fraction of the overall Jewish population that voted for President Obama at over 80% and I expect they'll be just as strong in 2012.

Education is very important to most Jews I know and sarah is far to vapid to appeal to an educated populace.

"We have long admired Gov. Palin for her thoughtful positions on a range of issues, such as fiscal responsibility... energy independence and against Islamic terrorism,



Also, I guarantee that if Palin looked anything like Margaret Thatcher she wouldn't have made it out of Wasilla and most Republicans (with maybe this one exception) know it.

My brother was going to vote for McCain because of Israel. When McCain picked Palin, my brother promptly declared his disgust for McCain and voted for Obama instead.

You've got to be REAL stupid to see any redeeming qualities in this woman.
