"I find her offensive"

John McCain was making a bid for South Florida's Jewish voters, a crucial demographic in a purple state. But then he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate.

    'Holier than Thou' Attitude

    I don't have a hard time believing Sarah Palin is a anti-Semite! In fact, I would be surprised to find out that she actually wasn't. Most fundamentalist Christian's are. I was raised in the fringes of that religion and know how people like that think. It's something that runs through the whole religion. From what I have been able to see that religion hasn't changed in the 50 years since I was forced to practice it. The only reason they bother recognizing the Jewish religion is because of the Bible their faith is based on. Otherwise, Jews would be like every other religion as far as they are concerned...a non religion!

    But, I find Sarah Palin more offensive due to her attitude! There is something about her attitude that turns me completely off!!! She has the same 'holier than thou' sanctimonious attitude every pro lifer does. In fact, most fundamentalist Christian's have the same attitude. You don't have a right to your belief's in their world. They don't respect any other belief's but their own. End of the story! But, I find it offensive.
