Letters to the Editor

"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.
The letters thread is now closed.
  • Like I said

    Just take away their right to vote and make them wear little yellow stars or something like that. So the fine upstanding right thinking liberals of the world can know who to trust. After all, give em an inch, they'll take a mile.

  • Jewish people won't fall for McCain Palin

    Jewish people are not as stupid as McCain/Palin assume we are.

    We fully understand when someone who has done nothing for Jewish people or Israel, says things in favor of Israel or placating us, that they are using us and our cause to further their own agenda. Palin's minister thinks he can save us Jews because we need forgivness for killing Jesus.

    Palin has never done anything to help any Jewish group prior to her joining the ticket. Now, we are to believe she really cares about us, no way. McCain will turn this country into his own private war and he will run a secret government just like Bush/Cheney has done, and from there, we will become a police state or communist type country.

    At least if we put Obama in the white house, he will be watched and checked and made to have an open government much more so than McCain. Obama will also have a great guy like Biden to advise, guide, and help him change this great country because Joe Biden has truly been a friend to Jewish people and Israel, unlike McCain and Palin who have given lip service in their hour of need.

  • Re: Daddo

    Folks, please don't waste time and energy engaging this troll. He is a blood-thirsty Christo-fascist. Look at some of his past letters and you'll see what I mean.

  • Palin reverse media bias?

    As conservatives squawk about Sarah Palin and unfair media coverage - I wonder if anyone has measured the 'reverse' media bias? aka every Palin campaign stop, every campaign slogan or negative attack that she delivers seems to make headlines. Clearly, she gets way more coverage than Joe Biden who is only newsworthy for the big events - the convention speech or the debate, or his occasional blunder. I'd wager she even outpaces the two candidates at the top of the ticket. Has anyone measured this? It seems to me the right wing attack against the media has resulted in giving Palin and the McCain camapaign a free mouthpiece for spewing its rhetoric...

  • I FIND HER OFFENSIVE

    I don't believe a word of MYDOGISFRANK. No one who was half intelligent would. And I am sick of people finding others offensive. A lot of people find Tristram Korten offensive but they don't go around stating it. Those people are called civilized.

  • For some, like Sternberg,it is more important to be a dove than it is to be a Jew

    Calling McCain a war monger gives Jews like Sternberg away.

    Although he probably voted for Gore-Lieberman, he would never follow Lieberman's advice if it involves standing up to monsters like Ahmadinajob, Chavez and Putin.

    Sternberg is a dove. The great Polish Pope and Reagan did nothing for him, and he does not care that they freed Poland and tens of millions of others from the claws of Russia's bear.

    This is like the Roumanian villagers. This is like those Americans who delayed our entry into WWII until our battleship fleet was destroyed at Pearl Harbor.

    Sternberg doesn't care if Israel is forced to go back to being 7 to 10 miles wide, a quick tank ride to the sea. He won't mind if our politicians try to isolate Israel until she would agree to such a suicidal thing.

    Sternberg says at least people will be watching Obama, and this is extremely naive. The President of the United States is the most powerful person on earth. He watches you with the entire mechanism and power of our state. You do not watch him.

    His actions and his inactions could easily harm our nation and the rest of the world we consider free.

  • She believes in "End of Days", no?

    As I understand it, the "end of days" belief INCLUDES a second Holocaust. She prays for it. The end of the story as she sees it - the return of Christ to earth - cannot come to fruition without the deaths of all Jews. Her beliefs are not drawn from the Bible, but rather from a comic book / sci-fi novel turned into a religious movement among US evangelicals.

    W believes this same thing, and Sarah is being compared to a biblical queen from the bible who will hasten the Rapture.

    That, to me, would seem to be a big negative for Jewish voters. Or anyone else who is sane. If someone told me that the only way they get to see Jesus involves me being killed, I'd stay away from that person. And I doubt I'd vote for them to have the nuke codes.

  • Lotus

    Did you just compare some associations of Obama with the actual massacre of Jewish men, women, and children in WWII?

    Because it looks like you did. And I cannot believe it.

    You should be ashamed.

  • McCain will slash Medicare, too

    As if choosing a creationist anti-semite awaiting the end times wasn't enough to put jewish floridians on notice, it looks like McCain intends to pay for his half-baked health care plan by dramatically slashing Medicare benefits, too. You know, the insurance that your elderly relatives in Florida (not just the jewish ones) rely on.

    AARP, are you listening?

  • WOW She's HOT!

    Gees! Men are talking about Sarah Palin as a Sex mate rather than a VP candidate. She sure aroused all the testosterone and libidos of these men. Talking about high heels and panty lines, the com'on wink and all, I guess I only have one thing in mind too, DID MCCAIN CHOSE HER FOR HER SEX APPEAL SURELY NOT HER BRAIN I'M SURE. I wonder if McCain has this reservation at the back of his mind about dumping the heiress for the younger Palin? just as he dump his aging wife Carol for the yunger Cindy?

    YOU BE THE JUDGE.

  • Enough of this Obama Insanity

    All the editor's favored letters are always pro Obama. This site is so in the tank for Obama, but for those of us who know Obama is a dangerous man aligned with our worst enemies, we continue to post and to try to wake up those who are being deceived by a mainstream media that is failing to do its job.
