    For all of you folks proclaiming how evangelicals "love" Jews

    mind explaining the nice little pamphlet put out by the Southern Baptists (not exactly a small group) about 10 years ago during the High Holy Days exhorting the faithful to increase their efforts to convert Jews? Yes, yes, all with "love" of course, to save them from their fate in hellfire. Profoundly and deeply insulting, this was discussed with horror in synagogues all over the country, you can well imagine where folks might be a bit suspicious of Palin's "love". Secondary gain, perhaps?

    This has nothing to do with the respect for another religion's beliefs, supposedly a bedrock belief of this country.

    I'm with underanothername and Zandru 100% on this one.
