......'nuf said.

(10.03.08)
I can never tell

schleping!!!!!! ,   jane, Usa.   (10.03.08)
4. Yeah! Vote Obama and make US a socialist country!
Jonathan Boyko ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.03.08)
5. unfunny joke
jack ,   us   (10.03.08)
Bubbie and tzeda know better than she does. The video sounds like a bad sad joke.
6. Advising & expressing her contempt for older................
Cameron ,   USA   (10.03.08)
generations in one breath There is a pompousness & self-righteousness in Obama supporters that just amazes. I do believe one of the reasons I'm voting McCain & Palin is in order to teach that crew a bit of humility.
7. Where is your sense of humor.
Arielush ,   Ramat Ha Golan   (10.03.08)
It's a joke. Isn't there such a thing as humor anymore. I prefer this Sarah to Sarah Palin.
8. Turning Americans into anti-Semites
Rachel ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
The Jewish Left in America is at least as arrogant and elitist as the Left here in Israel. So don't be surprised that the backlash to self-termed 'comedians' rants and rages like those of Bernhard's and Silverman's is a wave of anti-Semitism. As women, they should encourage the likes of Sarah Palin instead of encouraging people to vote for un-tried 'leaders' who hang out with far left activists, Syrian criminals like Tony Rezko and Saudi financers like Mansour.
9. another nutty Jew...who breeds the Jewish leftists?
Dotti ,   USA   (10.03.08)
10. O, THEM GOLDEN SCHLEPPERS . . .
Aloha Bob ,   Waimea USA   (10.03.08)
. . . O, them golden schleppers! Go on, left-liberal lock-step lemmings, talk to your grandparents like that. Keep it up, keep it up! Your grandparents know the reference golden schleppers, do you? Maybe they know a lot more than you know, and wonder why you try to convince them you're the smart ones? What's the Yiddish word for gall, again?
11. A vote for Obama is a vote for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.03.08)
Senator Obama is Neville Chamberlain in Afro-American clothing. He will go down in history as the Great Flip Flopper! How can Jews vote for a man who says one thing at AIPAC and retracts his statement the next day?
12. This is her funniest one yet!
Ken Besig ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
Sarah Silverman isn't much of a comedienne, but this one, about encouraging Jews into voting for Obama, is pretty funny. Certainly no Jew in their right mind would ever vote for Barack Obama, one of Louis Farrakhan's most loyal supporters and close friends!
13. # 11 is a joke
Ruud ,   Tel Aviv   (10.03.08)
yes, and a vote for Mccain will get you the likes of # 11. sleep tight, this train is moving on!
14. Sara S.
Embarrassed ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
Even if I wanted to vote for Obama, it wouldn't be because of Sara Silverman. She has a disgusting filthy mouth. She is an embarrassment, not to mention that she has a non-Jewish boyfriend!!!
15. Palin Gives Me Hives
Arielush ,   Ramat Ha Golan   (10.03.08)
I'm not so keen on Obama. But Palin gives me hives. I'd prefer Tina Fey in the White House.
16. #7 Haven't you noticed
Henning ,   cph   (10.03.08)
that right-wingers just don't have a sense of humor ;-)
17. Yes Barak means lightning in Arabic and Hebrew too!
Palestinian   (10.03.08)
18. Sara Silverman
Ze'ev ,   Stuart, Florida, USA   (10.03.08)
I am a Jewish Florida resident, and a life-long registered Democrat. I welcome every visit I get from my children and grandchildren. I have seen Sara's video, and I have read this article, and to paraphrase Sara, listen Bubbeleh, there's no f***ing way I'd ever risk the lives of any Jew, or any Israeli, by voting for that empty suit called Barak Hussein Obama. And what's more, if he wins, you and all your friends are out of the will!
19. silverman is another hollow head
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.03.08)
pushing a hollow suit on us. Let these fools in the entertainment industry shut up. They are not the brightest pebbles on the beach in most cases.
20. #15 Who cares! You can't vote any way. Livni gives me hives!
Who cares? I can't ,   vote any way!!!USA   (10.03.08)
21. The Left in US and Israel
Yaron ,   USA   (10.03.08)
is a shameful trend that divides us on the most troubling issues of our time. I am puzzled by the self-destructive nature of this group, but most of all I am amazed at the recklessness that is the platform of the left. Capitulation and surrender only work when you are dealing with civilized adversaries...the adversaries of today plan to kill en mass in the name of religion. McCain/Palin are the answer!
22. Sarah ...watch the undercurrent - you are a problem
andrew ,   miami,fl   (10.03.08)
she - like mnay other jewish comedians is crass , obnoxious, and foul... there is an undercurrent of real hate toward hollywood in the US - putting out filth on a daily basis...always usinf foul language, desrespect etc.. silverman, stern, sturart, kimmel etc...ron jeremy we as jews must make it very clear that these people MUST STOP !!! do not call them heros because they make money
23. Sarah Silverman (yuck)
Itzik ,   WPB, USA   (10.03.08)
Given that this woman mocks Judaism and Jewish people as a profession, why the heck should we listen to anything she says. Another "celebrity" Obama stumper, nothing new, nothing worth listening to.
24. We're ashamed of her in N.H.
Ray ,   USA   (10.03.08)
In New Hampshire ,where "Live Free Or Die" is the proud motto, it saddens up to see a former native fall for Obama, the friend of Weatherman terrorist Ames and the anti-semite hate spewing preacher.. After washing out her mouth (she specializes in foul speech),someone should check her brain.
25. Silverman is a dreadful comedian...
Laura ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
Anyway, who cares what this dimwit , or any othe celebrity, has to say about politics.
26. After reading her comments: I'd have to vote for McCain
Australian Guy   (10.03.08)
What an idiot. Even if Obama was worthwhile voting for - who would after seeing this stupidity. As we say here : she should "stick to her knitting" and continue with her day job of trying to be funny, which is also questionable.
27. Joe Biden says the word "MISHPOOCHEH" and...
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (10.03.08)
Joe Biden went down to Florida and said "We're Mishpooche!" and thousands of Alte Kockers got on the knees vowing to lick Obama's behind. Now Sarah...doing the knee-jerk show biz Obama dance is trying to make sure they keep licking til election day.
28. Very funny video
daniel   (10.03.08)
Even though I would vote McCain
29. The Jewish New Right
Ethan ,   Eilat   (10.03.08)
Although I didn't recognize the Silverman chick as a comedian, I am appalled and frightened by the phenomena of the New Jewish Right and it"s extremism as seem through talkbacks. It appears to me that there are many Jews who desire to lead the Jewish people down the same path as modern Islam. This would be the ultimate victory for our enemies. I though feel strong in my Judaism and know the moral Jews will not allow this path to persevere..
30. Watch her on TV. Would you take her advice?
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (10.03.08)
