Beck: ADL "has as much to do, I believe, with the plight of the Jewish people" as NOW "has with the plight of women"

Uh, MANY on the left don't support them either.
I'm just asking, bro. Not trying to provoke insults.
I mean, when you go to a party or something do you just insult and ridicule people who don't agree with you? Uh, be careful with that, because one day you might provoke the wrong person.
Yet, he supported the invasion of Iraq where our troops had insufficient body armor, flimsy humvees, and a lack of ammunition.
Flip. Flop.
I tend to think the rules of engagement are our troops biggest enemy, not really either political party.
If you don't want to provoke insults, then go back to Free Republic or whatever right-wing cybersewer site you slithered over here from.
Now let the thumbs down rain in.
Welcome to PLANET WINGNUT!!
. . . Where Obama taking the TIME to consult with his national security council BEFORE making a decision to put more troops in harm's way in an already unpopular war is "not adequately supporting the troops" . . .
. . . While Dumbya and Cheney's decision to send in troops without a clear mission, an exit strategy, or even proper body armor is NOT to be criticized, because it constitutes "treason" . . .
"This is an outright lie. Evangelicals don't want Jews to go to hell. Are you kidding?"
No, unfortunately not a lie.
According to many with a fundamentalist and/or evangelical world view, if you do not convert to Christianity you will burn in Hell. Jews who stay Jewish will thus burn according to that odious doctrine.
re. Thinking VS Wanting: If you are an evangelical Christian, then I would think you would WANT God's will to be done. If someone dies without being converted and God sends them to Hell, then wanting otherwise is to wish for an abrogation of God's omnipotent justice.
Not necessarily. Hate the sin, not the sinner. It would take an exceptionally heartless bastard to not feel sorry for those condemned to hell.
1) I have seen enough ghoulish Christians who seem to take absolute delight in describing the torments of Hell for non-believers. Those heartless bastards exist.
2) Regardless of any misgivings about those in Hell, evangelicals of this bent believe that they will be happy forever at God's side, so any misgivings will be brain-washed away once in Heaven.
3) To feel sorry for those being tortured by God is still to reject God's will. If God says someone should burn for all eternity, who is an ardent believer in God's omnibenevolence to say otherwise? Is God wrong for sending them to Hell? Is he a sadist?
I disagree. I don't think it is "rejecting God's will" to feel sorry for someone. Someone may deserve a punishment, but that doesn't mean that one does not mourn for them. But, if that's what you think...
If so, why punish someone forever based merely on the finite crime of disbelief?
If not, then you are in at least one respect better than God because you have a quality of empathy that he lacks.
But if everyone gets to see God in all his glory and make that decision AFTER death, then I'd say the number going to Hell would be something around 0%. I'm a die-hard atheist, but if I saw God face-to-face, I wouldn't be one any more.
If no one goes to Hell, is there a need for a literal Hell at all?
And why bother to have faith in this life? Do you believe entry into Heaven can be based on good works instead of faith?
Well, Beck, I know a couple. How about Michael Savage and Michael Medved. Beck is such a liar.
2 things beckerhead knows nothing about at all. Jews and Women
But I do admit that he has been a fawning bootlicker when it comes to Israel. In his mind, Israel can do no wrong. No matter how many innocent Palestinians Israel kills Beck finds an excuse for it. Just like he believes our troops can do no wrong. He really is nothing more than a know-nothing demagogue.
We have a new generation coming up. They didn't see it, and they didn't spend a lot of time with the grandparents who did. So many of them are not really aware of just how awful Hitler and the Nazis were. They know the Nazis were bad, but they either over trivialize Nazi references (as Beck does) or they refuse to refuse to allow them to be used as being too harsh. I hesitate to use Nazi references, but there are times when groups arise, and group think arises and it creates the possiblity of it happening again and it can happen here. Yes, we must fight hatred and oppression when we see it. Not only for ourselves but for the ones who can't fight for themselves. The problem with Jews in Germany, was they saw themselves as Germans first, and they couldn't see that they might be targeted, and by the time that became clear, it was too late. I am very worried about these Teabaggers, they have no common goal or leader yet, there is just a lot of anger and differing targets for the anger. If a leader arises, with a clear goal, we could have an enormous mess on our hands. Something like the McCarthy era or worse. Many of the Teabaggers are armed and they have the internet to communicate, they are not isolated. We have much to fear.
The ADL was started with the intent to counter anti-semitism and try to prevent bigotry in general. Im sure the ADL was not pointing to anti-semitism but just general inflammatory speech and racist remarks like when you called our president a racist maybe. How about think before you talk first?
"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an international non-governmental organization based in the United States of America. Describing itself as "the nation's premier civil rights/human relations agency", the ADL states that it "fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all" while it "[advocates] for Israel with policymakers, the media and the public" and "defends the security of Israel and Jews worldwide""
You see racism - you shout racism from the treetops. You write letters and make calls. You call people out for belitting the remarks. You do everything you can to make sure as many people as possible know what was said and its repercussions. WE MUST SPREAK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. If we dont, no one will speak out for us. Im a jew but I will blast beck just as hard for anti-semitism as i would for insulting Islam as should we all. This is why the ADL was created - Jews learned through tragedy, AS LONG AS WE CAN STOP IT = "NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!"
