DNC Rues Clues They Might Lose Jews, Anew

Top Rabbi Urges Conservative Jews to Vote For Bush

Itza Mitzvah!:

A senior Israeli rabbi with influence among almost 150,000 American Jews ruled Tuesday that they should vote for President George W. Bush in the upcoming US elections, his office said.

Rabbi Shalom Yosef Elyashiv, responding to queries from Americans residing in Israel, has decided that Bush is better for Israel than his competitor, John Kerry, said an assistant to the rabbi, Haim Cohen.

Elyashiv's opinions are respected by large ultra-Orthodox communities, especially in Israel and the US. Elyashiv has strong influence over about half of all haredi Jews of European origin.

"Apparently George Bush loves Israel and thus we need to vote for him," the rabbi said Tuesday, according to Cohen.

...

About 140,000 American Orthodox Jews will probably abide by Elyashiv's decision, said Sam Heilman, an expert on American Jews at Queens College in New York. But Elyashiv is just confirming the theories of many analysts who believe most haredi Jews in the US vote Republican, Heilman said in a telephone interview from his office.

"What's extraordinary is that the rabbi is addressing non-Israelis in a sense," Heilman said. "This confirms that the Orthodox community, by and large, is supporting Bush more than Kerry."

You know the one thing keeping Jews from defecting to the Republican Party wholesale?

Bowzer.

Damn him.

Tremendous numbers of Orthodox Jews live in New York. While their votes could help Bush in the popular vote count, those votes will not help in the Electoral College count.

Orthodox Jews have tended conservative for many years. Al D'Amato considered their support key when he was our NY senator.

Um, who's Bowzer?

Posted by: Matt on October 26, 2004 08:18 PM

Bowzer was/is the lead singer of Sha Na Na. He was in Miami a few days back as the Dems' big celebrity draw.

I linked the article into the post, so now you can just click on Bowzer and see what I'm talking about. I should have done that from the start, but I'm lazy.

At the most recent Bush rally in Michigan, I found myself walking back to my car behind a whole family of jews - who had plastered "Jews for Bush" all over their black coats, etc.

Oy gevalt! If my forefathers could see this, they would just plotz!

Matt,

Don't listen to Ace. He's lying to you. Here's the lowdown:

Bowzer is one of the bad guys in Super Mario Brothers. The Mario Brothers are obviously Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholic church has always had an anti-Semitic bent.

So it's easy to see that Bowzer is the metaphorical "evil Jew" in the Roman Catholic morality tale that is Super Mario Brothers.

How this connects to the Kerry campaign is left as an exercise for the reader.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris.

Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
