Mac   (11.04.10)
2. The only good Jew in Congress is Eric Cantor
RB ,   USA   (11.04.10)
The rest are embarassments.
3. Jew Jersey? Funny
Eyal ,   USA   (11.04.10)
4. So why is this something to be proud of?
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (11.04.10)
5. Goes to show most American Jews are clueless
Al   (11.04.10)
as to the real issues confronting America and the Western world. The Democrats have been shown the door..The uber liberal Jews in America are in for a very rude awakening from the general population which is getting poorer and angrier by the minute. Those include the underclass populations which the Jews in their uber liberal ethos and in their zeal to show PCness, purported to champion over the past 60 years. Were I a Jew in America today, I would lay lower than a worm. payback time is coming and the natives are angry.
6. Correction

It's New Jersey not Jew Jersey.
7. Gay with an 'o' =Goy They're no better & certainly NO pride
(11.04.10)
8. To #4
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (11.04.10)
Why is this not something to be proud of? Not to be proud because they are gay? Because they are Jewish? Because it is an admirable accomplishment? Should the Americans have only straight politicians? If so, why not only whites, or only Christians? Is diversity a challenge to the integrity of American politics? Your comfort? Please explain.
9. gays
rashid ,   palistinian   (11.04.10)
thank allah we dont have gays here in gaza or in iran believe me i think it is in our jeans
10. Bragging about democratic Jews in the
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.04.10)
new U.S. Congress. Why? Did Rahm Emmanuel ever help Israel while he was the chief of staff? Will these new congressmen assist the state of Israel? Personally, I'm much happier Republicans got put in office, especially the Teapartiers. They're the ones who will defend us to the international community. This article, in short, is misdirected.
11. Nothing To Be Proud Of
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.04.10)
I would prefer morally upstanding Christians any day.
12. Homosexual and lesbian Jews
Gary   (11.04.10)
usually have a fascination with the Palestinians and hate Israel, so they can go to hell!
13. #9 - ever wonder why?
Eyal ,   USA   (11.04.10)
Because you hang all of them to death. I don't agree with gays either and definitely not Barney Frank and the democrats, but I wouldn't hang them for it. The barbarian is speaking about jeans, nice try.
14. What is this??? some sort of
seadog1946 ,   Shooters Island, NJ   (11.04.10)
political fudge-packers rally?
15. Al 5 , don't insult the worms
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.04.10)
they at least are'nt hatefull , so you arte worth much less .
16. #9 Not in the jeans, but in the closet.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.04.10)
17. At least US voters are'nt as hatefull as some Jews
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.04.10)
who can't tolerate others . And gay , and Jewish , but elected , that's something we can be proud of , TOLERANT voters . Why were they elected ? certtainly not because they are Jewish or gay . Maybe because they could convince those voters ?
18. Robert , 10 . All those Jews are US congresmen
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.04.10)
They were NOT elected to help Israel . Rahm Emanuel [ who was not chief of staff , he was not a soldier . Chief of Obama's staf ] has first of all to look at US interests , not Israel's .
19. How splendid!!!!!!!!
Mo ,   Israel   (11.04.10)
20. Uuu! Gay old times in the US congress! what fun!
(11.04.10)
21. Jews of many colors
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (11.04.10)
As much as terrorism is a threat to this wonderful country, so is racism. Yes, Jews are often racist. Racism is a political position that refuses to acknowledge reality and truth. Worse, it minimizes good people, diminishes good Jews and discriminates against your family and neighbor. Jew against Jew. Homosexual and Bisexual Jews, and Muslims and Christians exist everywhere. They are important and contributing members in every society and demand and deserve recognition as such. No amount of hate, racism or ignorance will remove this reality. Accept it, live with it, deal with it, embrace it.
22. #9 Gays
Moragh   (11.04.10)
You sure got that right, Rashid... in your Jeans is exactly where it is !!!
23. Klein lost to a better MAN - for Jews & World
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (11.04.10)
Col (ret) Allen West, a black man, beat Klein in Florida. For all those who don't know West - check him out in You Tube - you will be hearing a LOT about him in the future... hopefully in the white house in 2 years from now!
24. gay people had tendency to take care for
ghostq   (11.04.10)
only their community, so will the discriminate the general one. just wonder.
25. To quote Woody Allen
(11.04.10)
"Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here."
26. Dumbocrats
USA   (11.04.10)
There's not much else to say
27. These are not Jews
blash ,   Jerusalem   (11.04.10)
Living your life in direct violation of the Bible and rejecting the other commandments along with the rest of Reform Judaism does not make you a Jew.... period.
28. But we got the first Lesbian in "strictly come dancing."
rebecca ,   Modiin   (11.04.10)
The GAY status is about as relevant.
29. no.9
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.04.10)
So where,s Yaakov Sullivan then as he,s one of a very few Muslim gays who will never be elected to any political party or govt. ?
30. Blash #27 what total nonsense
Avi ,   Israel   (11.04.10)
Being gay is not a choice it is someones genetic makeup and despite what you and your religious views may think nothing is going to change that,. You are not gay and have tottaly no idea of what you are talking about. How strange it says jewish in my ID and apparently im jewish enough to serve in the IDF and risk my life.
