joel pollak- “President Obama has made it ok to hate Israel.”

[mopinko]

this is from jan schakowsky, who is running against joel pollak, the president of the chicago tea party. if you like to laugh at teabaggers, check this link-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAxz8FSJxag
these guys will stop at nothing. this guy is mostly campaigning around skokie and other heavily jewish areas, pushing the idea that he would be more pro-isreal than jan, who has a 100% aipac rating.

so, she sent this in an email today-

I literally just walked off the stage from my last debate with Joel Pollak. This will be my toughest race yet.

During the debate he actually said: “President Obama has made it ok to hate Israel.” We can not let this extreme rhetoric slide.

1. What nonsense ...n/t

[CanonRay]

2. Actually, Israel is making it ok to hate Israel

Have they done anything right in the last 20 years?

[mopinko]

3. lets please keep the spotlight on the teabaggers.

yes, there are plenty of things to criticize about israel, but we have a whole forum for that. this thread is about the insanity of this particular tea bagger. please all, lets keep it focused.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. why?

It is absolutely true, and a perfect response to Pollak.

The problem with many of the Tea Baggers is also israel based - they want all jews to return to the promised land, so that the rapture will come. Only then will 144,000 of them meet Geesus in heaven.

15. Stayin' alive in a hostile world...as your silly comment indicates.

4. Tell Pollack he is hurting Israel by making up stories and creating

division.

We must call these jerks for this creating division in
this country. Do it every day and often.

Obama fully supports Israel.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. If a lot of people REALLY knew

why American conservatives really "love" Israel, they might have second thoughts about their supposed *commitment* to it. :eyes:

[vaberella]

7. Doesn't it all have to do with the Book of Revelations and not really b/c they like Jews. n/t

[GoCubsGo]

8. It has everything to do with that.

Truth be told, a lot of them are actually anti-Semites, who think that Jews will go to Hell with the rest of us when Armageddon comes.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Yup. GoCubsGo pretty much summed it up

Pretty crazy, eh? :crazy:

I wonder how many Republican-voting Jews/Israelis know this? Is Eric Cantor clued in on this?

[COLGATE4]

11. Yes - they like the idea that 144,000 of us will be left alive after

the Rapture in order to convert to Xianity (of course, if we don't, then we're off to Hell in a millisecond). With friends like these...

[dionysus]

12. well, there's that, andthey like them for fighting muslims. take both of those away... there goes

the love...

[mopinko]

13. not the case for pollak- he is an orthodox jew.

he is a hard one to figure out. his line is that jan "stood by while obama was allowed to criticize israel" over the aid flotilla fiasco.

[Phx_Dem]

9. What a bunch of horseshit. n/t

[Skittles]

14. well, I don't hate Israel

so I guess Obama's hate magic failed to work on me? Either that or Mr. Pollak is full of shit. I'll take the latter, Alex.
