      Would this qualify as a Godwin reference?

      This really surprises me. Why don't they vote for the conservative candidate. I mean, after all, don't the conservatives and the religious right have a special place in their hearts for Israel and the Jews?

      You'd think Jews would be all excited about finally either becoming Christians or being incinerated after the RaptureĀ®.

      Brian Kilmeade, The poster Child for Buffoon.
      Even Bill O'Reilly would call this guy a Loon.
      How he keeps his Job in a Competitive Market i will never Understand?
      One look at Kilmeade and anyone can see that he's more Cromagnon than Man.

      Speak truth to power.

        I wish Mr. Podhoretz understood that the Religious Right is not on their Side.
        The Religious Right is going by their interpretation of the Bible only in their support of the Jews.
        If there was a Verse in the Bible that said "Burn the Jews" the Ovens would be running 24/7.
        If there is ever a 2nd Coming when Jesus comes back to Earth, afterwards i don't think the Reilgious Right expects to see one Jew left Alive.

          He doesn't care if they are on his side . . . he and the rest of the neo-cons simply USE the religious right for control.

      Someone should tell this patronizing schmuck that most Jews are leftists! If you have to say you're a "Jewish conservative" it strikes me as the old mentality of "don't act so Jewish in public" and "what will the goyim think?"

      I come from a long line of lefty Jews; I know from what I speak! Got that Gretchen?

          Same here. Because for the most part, Jewish people value education are study hard adn learn about the world around them. Unlike your typical poop-for-brains conservative....

        This patronizing schmuck is a neo-conservative . . . therefore, he, too, is a liberal.

          Again, someone apparently needs to read up on neo-conservatism fka neo-liberalism. Podhoretz and the rest of them are technically "liberals." The true name for them is "neoclassical liberalism." Socialists, actually . . . Trotskyites.

          You're showing your ignorance.

      Oh my yes, conservative Christians just LOVE them some Jews. I mean, we're going to be the sacrificial lamb that triggers the Rapture and all, so why wouldn't we feel all warm and fuzzy towards them?

      Or, maybe, just maybe, Jewish people find greater resonance with the Democratic Party, which has a more notable track record of trying to help others. You know, that whole t'zedakah (charity) thing that we Jewish people make such an integral part of our value system.

      Nah, couldn't be.

      The lack of introspection of the Republican Party is just astonishing.

      If memory serves me correctly, Podhoretz is one of the original "Neocons"...

      Interesting, since as a long-time member of the neo-conservative movement, he's technically a liberal.

        Why the thumbs down? I just posted fact. The neo-conservative movement of which Podhoretz is a long-time member was formerly known as neo-liberalism. He's a liberal . . . neo-conservatism has nothing to do with traditional conservatism whatsoever. William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer . . . all neo-conservatives. All, technically, liberals.

      No, I think the Jewish community should stay right where they are in the liberal camp. You are free as a Liberal to live as you choose, however conservatively that you may wish, but you are also free to think as widely and as liberally as you like, too. I am actually quite old-fashioned and traditional in my lifestyle, but I am very liberal in my tolerance and outlook, so is my Jewish husband. The several posters who made reference to the Religious Right not really being a friend to the Jews is absolutely correct. Years ago, I went through a Fundamentalist Christian phase (Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa!) and I was taught that Catholics were bound for Hell, and so were most Jews except for the 1440,000 who would recognize the Messiah at the Rapture and become "Super Billy Grahams" who would make converts during the Tribulation, and after seven years, the Saved would take over and rule Earth for a Thousand years. I'm sorry, I still haven't gotten the bad taste out of my mouth from all of that. If Ol'Norm had heard what I have heard, he'd be running to the nearest Liberals to jump into their arms.

      Although is not fair to say the left are enemies of the Jews the religious right belief in biblical prophecy pertaining to them and the role that they play with Jews at the end of time. Can be used to drive a wedge between Jews and liberals, you can bet this is just the beginning. this might not be the time to pick a fight with Israel of housing settlements

      On Fox, Podhoretz calls the left "enemies" of the Jews



      Hey, Norm --

      Are you talking about the nearly 75% of Jews who voted FOR Obama?

      Or, about those Jews that Crazy Annie said needed to be "perfected"?

      I hate to point out that ALL jews dont even think Israel is a good idea. Many Jews are anti Israel while many are Pro.

      Maybe thats what is missing from FOX's reporting and understanding of this issue. Just because you claim to be Pro Israel doesnt mean ALL Jews will like you.......

      (plus maybe the Jews are smart enough to realize that most Conservatives only support Israel because its "The Christian thing to do")
