Jewish Democrats have started to hit Sarah Palin hard for her association with former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, which seems to have amounted to her being seen wearing a Buchanan button in 1996. Here's Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida: John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans. Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler for his "great courage." At a time when standing up for Israel's right to self-defense has never been more critical, John McCain has failed his first test of leadership and judgment by selecting a running mate who has aligned herself with a leading anti-Israel voice in American politics. It is frightening that John McCain would select someone one heartbeat away from the presidency who supported a man who embodies vitriolic anti-Israel sentiments. Wexler's case is based on a 1999 AP article, which described her as "sporting a Buchanan button" at a Buchanan visit to the town of which she was mayor. She promptly responded to the story in a letter to the editor, saying that "the article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla. As mayor, I will welcome all the candidates in Wasilla." [UPDATE: Buchanan himself said tonight on "Hardball" that Palin had been a supporter. Video to come.] She didn't denounce him, as many members of the Jewish community did at the time for his doubts about America's commitment to Israel and Israel's role in American policy. But she didn't back him, either: She was an official of Steve Forbes' campaign that cycle, also according to the AP. RNC communications director Danny Diaz shot back at Wexler: “Rep. Robert Wexler’s outrageous attack today on Gov. Sarah Palin is the worst kind of politics. Instead of engaging in a discussion on the issues, Wexler’s smears and accusations are detestable. If Barack Obama has any intention of engaging in a serious and honorable debate, he will immediately condemn these scare tactics.” Obama's spokesman, Bill Burton, didn't respond to a request to comment on Wexler's attack. The National Jewish Democratic Council issued a measured statement, saying her hard-line stance on abortion is to the right of most American Jews and questioning her support from the Christian Coalition. The Republican Jewish Coalition (also doing its job) defended her in a statement that makes no reference to Israel. In reality, Palin's record on Israel, while friendly, is as thin as you'd expect from the first-term governor of Alaska. RJC spokeswoman Suzanne Kurtz said, however, that based on conversations with Alaska Jews, she's confident Palin is a friend of Israel. I spoke to two of Palin's Jewish allies in Alaska (of the roughly 6,000 Jews there), both of whom stressed that she'd signed a resolution supporting Israel and Alaska's ties to the Jewish state. (She's pictured above right at the signing.) The resolution (after the jump) is supportive but unexceptional. Both of the Alaska Jews, rabbi Joseph Greenberg and businessman Terry Gorlick, said she was "conservative" on foreign affairs but that they'd never discussed the details of Israel policy with her. Gorlick said she had never visited Israel, had promised to visit and recently postponed plans to work on Alaska pipeline issues. "She's absolutely a friend of the Jewish community in Alaska," he said, adding that she had a "confirmed commitment" to visit Israel. No word on her views of Michael Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union, in which there are more than 6,000 Jews in Alaska. And if any of the other 5,598 want to weigh in, I'd be curious.

"She's absolutely a friend of the Jewish community in Alaska," he said, adding that she had a "confirmed commitment" to visit Israel I heard her described as a jewess. If all the reports weren't abounding about her fundie beliefs, I'd be tempted to believe it.
To: Old Friend "She's absolutely a friend of the Jewish community in Alaska," he said, adding that she had a "confirmed commitment" to visit Israel I heard her described as a jewess. Palin is no Jewess. RULE #1: If the Jews are for something, then a reasonable, responsible White person should naturally oppose it. Here's [the Jew] Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida (from this article): "John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans. Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler for his 'great courage'." Wexler was also an early ardent supporter of Obama, for what it's worth.

Some may call this gorilla dust.. When two male gorillas confront each other, they’re too canny most of the time to actually fight, so they resort to the tried-and-true political tactic of intimidation. Both scurry about in a frenzy, grimacing menacingly, beating their chests and tossing clouds of dirt into the air. It’s a serious encounter, full of powerful and primitive energies, a test of testosterone. Soon one becomes convinced that the other could win the threatened physical engagement, and retreats. It’s called gorilla dust, and politicians stir it up all the time to keep you distracted What they don't want you to pay attention to is the senate races make no mistake it matters not who becomes President if the democrats get a veto proof majority in the senate gun control hate crimes legislation will pass in short order all enforced by the gift given by George Bush Homeland Security.We are so screwed!

On the other hand, McShame is a bona fide top rank Shabbos goy collaborator with the neocon ultraZionists. When top neocon Jew Bill Kristol predicts three weeks before the fact that Palin would be the vp choice (on Meet the Press); and when ABC TV's Jan Greenburg reports "[McCain's] lawyers reviewed [Palin's] vetting information. They kept their activities from even some in McCain's most senior inner circle (reported here: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politic...08/how-palin-came.html)," one must ask who are these mysterious "lawyers." Are they Jews? Did Kristol know something that McShame, himself, not to mention his most senior inner circle, didn't know? Note!: Pat Buchanan, the so-called "Nazi sympathizer," nailed McShame's chief "inner circl" foreign policy advisor, Jew Randy Scheunemann, last week here: www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=73068, suggesting the dual loyalist is a traitor.

Its unfortunate that we need to look at a persons religion to understand their politics Palin belongs to The Church On The Rock and as it website states Christ's Second Coming We believe Christ's Second Coming includes a pre-tribulation rapture of the Church -- the sudden catching away of believers on the Earth and those who've died in Christ (Our Blessed Hope). This rapture is followed by a literal 7-year period of unparalleled tribulation and judgment on the Earth, then the final judgment of the wicked dead, resulting in everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Daniel 12:11; Matthew 24:15,21,29; Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 21:36; John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Revelation 3:10, 7:14, 10:11-15; Revelation 19-20, 21:8) She like most of the rapture monkey crowd are living a lie....sad but true
Maybe it is for show. But do you like Palin. If McCain croaked do you think she would be better then the current crop?
She like most of the rapture monkey crowd are living a lie....sad but true I personally don't believe in a rapture followed by 7 year tribulation. I believe it is error. I believe the second coming is what some people confuse the "rapture" with. They are one in the same. But I don't think that I am a perfect biblical scholar. It is faith that is important. If someone makes a mistake here or there it doesn't mean they are not a true christian.
Misplaced faith leads to misplaced political action, like supporting endless war for an insignificant piece of dirt.
She didn't vote to send our troops their. Hopefully if McCain croaks she will look at this issue closer.
In her VP acceptance speech, she made clear that she agrees with Mad Mac on foreign policy: the need to protect Israel, to stop a nuclear Iran, to fight Russia - the woman was practically channeling Bill Kristol. I don't blame people for being misled when all of the facts aren't in yet. When Obama first hit the scene, as JT said, all we knew about him was that he was black and anti-war. I thought that the latter made him the lesser evil, but as I learned more about him, I found that he was as bad or worse than McCain on a lot of issues. The problem is people who keep being misled even when the truth stares them right in the face. We have people here (and all over the country) who claim to oppose the establishment, but who are now so starstruck with Obama or with Palin that they ignore any and all information that shows that their shining star is really nothing but another smelly cow paddy in a flashier wrapper.

It is frightening that John McCain would select someone one heartbeat away from the presidency who supported a man who embodies vitriolic anti-Israel sentiments. Vill our sufferink' nefer hend? This is PR and an attempt to put her under the control, submissive to, the Israel Lobby. It is a shot across her bow to let her know that she will be trashed unless she bows before the graven image of Shittylittlestan. At this point in time the agents, and quisling traitors who give first allegiance to Shittylittlestan, are spinning and attacking to maintain their control over the U.S. Feral Government. The Israelis, and their agents - the aforementioned quisling traitors, know that the public is wising up to Israeli influence and control on the Feral Government and that to maintain control they MUST continue to lie evermore and to attack anyone who dares break with the approved line. I'll go out a little bit on a limb and predict that she will, metaphorically, be forced to bow and scrape before the Zionist Religion of Israel Worship (they ARE NOT Jews - they are mostly atheists and communists and their secular religion is Israel, money, and power).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yeah. we are screwed. this Palin pick appears to me like it's just for show. i think they are all on board with the agenda you've outlined and it's the democrats who will shove the final poison down our throats. bush et al paved the way. That pretty well sums it up. The Demoncrat Party, even moreso that the Republicons, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Israel Lobby. The insane psychos running world Zionism, ultimately the Rotchilds, are not going to allow us to break free of their psychotic designs if they can help it, and will kill every man, woman, and child on the planet if that is what it takes. They must be stopped.

I would be the first to admit not being part of the "perfect biblical scholar" school however I do know that the "rapture theory" crowd (John Hagee being the perfect example of this flawed logic) is responsible for the evangelicals love affair with everything Jewish which defies the reason why Jews support evangelicals because as stated all who do not accept Jesus will face 7-year period of unparalleled tribulation...in words they don't want say in public if Jews don't convert they will all die.....
...that has been exposed to radioactive waste. Yes, this news has prompted the McCainiacs to show their hand on 4um. A few people surprised me, no lie. Ah well, c'est la vie. I'm done posting about this election sideshow. Meaningless pap for the masses.
That's reason enough right there to vote for her.
God is always good!
A wishful, misplaced hope in magic that does not exist. The Establishment has brought her into its fold because it trusts her completely. They will find others to control, as well. This is a system with replaceable parts. Everyone in its grip is expendable because there are always more in the wings who will do the bidding of the Establishment.
It is a bit tempting I must admit. I've always liked Pat Buchanan. I don't like it that he voted Bush in 2004 though.
Let's see... I supported Buchanan, I have some executive experience, I could probably call myself a pro-lifer, I am involved with the PTA, I got three kids but we could make 2 more in a hurry if required, I am a NRA member, my wife fishes and shoots guns and I don't believe that homo marriages are cool. I guess I should have called McCain and announce my availability. Is there anyone else, other than me and Palin that McCain could have considered for the job? Probably not.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Hey, SHE PLAYS PROP FOR THE McCAIN TEAM!!! If that makes you support McCain, his campaign expectations are being validated.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
I fail miserably on the progeny test, but otherwise, I'm good to go.
A nation of idiots, ruled by moronic tyrants.
Hmmm... it seems that you need 'several' kids to qualify for McCain's veep so maybe you can adopt a few. I believe McCain adopted a bunch from Bangladesh or Burkina Faso so adoption should be acceptable.

When the yids with lids aren't happy, politicians hop.
I guess I should have called McCain and announce my availability. Is there anyone else, other than me and Palin that McCain could have considered for the job? Probably not. If you were truly a man/woman of good character. Good morals. I think lots of ordinary people could rise to the occasion and do a better job then the current "experienced" "leaders" are doing.
