91. Attn: Congressman Wexler
Kevin McDevitt ,   Boston, MA, USA   (09.02.08)
Sarah Palin is running for Vice President of the United States, not a member of the Knesset. America First!!!
92. Republicans and Jewish Voters
Ed ,   Dallas   (09.02.08)
I thought Jews were good Chess players. Maybe not. A large number of Jews in American support the Republican Party. They do this because the think that the Republican party is good for Israel. Hmmmm. Okay, let's look at how the Republican Party has helped Israel in the last 8 years. Israel (and Jews in general because of Israel) is hated more NOW that ever before! Poll after poll in Europe and around the world indicate in INCREASE in hatred for Israel and all things Jewish. You can see the change as a dramatic shift that followed the USA's first imperial adventure into Iraq. Why? Because most people see this invasion of Iraq as a gesture to help an enemy of Israel. It, along with the USA's other adventures, is bankrupting the US. When the money runs out and stops flowing from the USA to Israel, then what? Republicans hurt Israel in the long run. Are long term objectives not something that an Israeli brain can conceptualize? After an invasion of Iran, guess what? It's CHECKMATE! And Israel loses.
93. paleoconservative Palin
Chuck ,   Chicago U.S.A.   (09.02.08)
Its hard to say whether Palin has any connection to Buchanan, but she does seem to have ties to the separatist Alaskan Independence Party, a paleoconservative political party that has much in common with Buchanan. (Note: In America, Paleoconservatives tend to be against fostering an immigrant society and foreign intervention and they believe that non-Christians and non-Westerners cannot be reconcilled to Christian and European ways of thinking. Most Americans see this as a fringe movement; Europeans, who also have paleoconservative groups tend to label similiar groups as being part of the far right. In both Europe and North America they have had some minor successes, though most of us who are Christian and have European heritage have little tolerance for them.) All of this calls to question Palin's support of the state of Israel or for that matter of Jews in America. Though she has done nothing to suggest she herself agrees with right wing anti-semitic policy she has associated with those who would end military support of Israel and who would see America as a Christian rather than a multicultural nation.
94. Palin Insult to Jews
Barbara Goldin ,   Pflugerville, USA   (09.03.08)
1. I'm Jewish 2. I'm voting for McCain 3. Next go-around, I'll vote for Gov Sarah Palin for President! 4. Sarah is my kind of woman-candidate for any political office. She is pro-2nd Amendment, a fighter, she is for all things good and right. ps: I've got to check out if Moose-stue is Kosher.
95. GOOD FOR JEWS
Mike ,   USA   (09.03.08)
OLMERT IS NOT GOOD FOR JEWS, THE SURRENDER TRAITOR MONKEY IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING FOR JEWS. RELEASING TERRORIST FOR DEAD BODIES IS WORST FOR JEWS. ISRAEL YOU ARE YOUR WORST ENEMY. 20 OR 30 YEARS FROM NOW I BELIEVE ISRAEL WILL BE A ISLAMIC NATION. THANKS YOU OLMERT AND FRIENDS AND NOT TO MENTION CONDIE
96. OBAMA THE JEWISH SAVIOR
MIKE ,   USA   (09.03.08)
AS A DEMOCRAT VOTING FOR MCCAIN, ALL I CAN SAY IS ANTI JEWISH AND ANTI ISRAEL. BO IS AN ARAB AND A POSSER WITH SOME VERY JEW UNFRIENDLY FRIENDS. AS I JEW, THE DEMS PICKED THE WORST POSSIBLE CANIDATE IN BO. HEY THE SAUDIE ARABS ARE BACKING HIM, ISN'T THAT NICE
97. Wexler
beijingyank ,   beijing china   (09.04.08)
Wexler isn't thinking about the interests of Jews. Wexler is thinking about what is good for Israel and the zionists. His politics and the politics of the zionists in general will lead to the destruction of Israel.
98. Wexler on Palin.
PhoebeH ,   Maine, USA   (09.08.08)
The "insult to Jews" is Wexler.
99. "Congressman: Choosing Palin an insult..
Deenna ,   Anchorage - USA   (09.13.08)
Sarah Palin is a first class actress & liar. Google Anne Kilkenny's letter. Anne knows her better than any one out there in the world who can only speculate from media reports to then make their immature emotional blab on her. The truth of her is her ability to fool everyone -including her own family. Thats pretty good. She is visciously ambitious. Period. Looks, that down-home smarminess and ability to double speak is her top quality. She is not looking to "Country First". She is looking for Sarah Palin First. There are two sides to everyone. Very few people show their true sides all the time. I'm disgusted with all the childish remarks from people who do not know this woman but extol what they haven't a clue about. She's fooled a few Alaskan's, but not all of us. And guess what? Its only the one-side of us - the ones she's fooled, that the media and the republicans will make sure that is shoved down the throats of all - especially the gullible, immature people who only think they are thinking. She's brutally ambitious. Period. BTW: Yupiit (Yupik eskimos) do not look like Todd Palin. They do not act or think or live like Todd Palin. Do your research on Alaska's Native REAL PEOPLE. There are many groups of Native peoples in Alaska (who she is working against) you don't hear her talking about or including in her suppposed vast repertoire of experience and knowledge everyone thinks she has. All the people who control, have controlled Alaska are from the Outside -- and have been mostly the white people. Oh, ignorant people who clamor for what you do not have a clue of. Sarah Palin is a Bush clone & worse, she is a real danger to the world -- if McCain is elected no matter whether he dies or not. She is the super-over achiever and don't think for a hot little nano-second that anything she does has not been schemed out way ahead of time. Don't worry Isreal. She's all yours...as long as it suits her ambitions. D. Wickersham Anchorage, Alaska

Deenna ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.13.08)
You are not representative of Alaska Steven Wilson. Your commentary is biased and actually I find quite stupid. I would even venture to say you are just another racist whose origins are from the lower 48. Alaska is so much much more than you could ever envision through your narrow minded presentation. Sarah Palin has fooled you all - you whose emotional and intellectual immaturity she capitalizes on. There can never be "enough said" on the layers upon layers upon layers of what makes people tick - what drives their motives for anything - especially unbridled egocentric ambitions. You don't really know Sarah Palin at all. By your words on Alaska, it is apparent you don't know Alaska either. That comment about most Alaskans knowing what Jews have been through is the stupid I am talking about with you. Did you take a census on that? Most Alaskans, let alone Outsiders, don't have a clue about their own INDIGENOUS people in Alaska who are STILL in an ongoing holocaust - Like the rest of their American Indian brothers and sisters. I am thoroughly disgusted & fed up with the likes of people like you & your ignorances. Jewish peoples are not the only humans on this planet who have suffered the devastation of "HOLOCAUST". Move your lazy fingers around the internet - get up off you lazy butt and do some real research. In numbers alone, our American Indians have the grossest & cruelest numbers, yes NUMBERS of holocaust - GENOCIDE. You are too immature to grasp what you television brain is saying. A natural born Alaskan Native
101. Palin and israel?
Jerry Hersch ,   Winterville Georgia   (10.08.08)
One should ask Palin WHO is Israel Support for Israel? Israel to evangelicals are those who believe in Christ .Christian believers..they are the new israel. Palin ,when asked about JEWS deftly turned the question-" I support Israel" What Israel? which people ? Words,semantics- they are not the same to all -To evangelicals the meaning of "Israel" is entirely different...it is without Judaism.
