I guess I\u2019ll just have to do what everyone else does and blog about it.<\/p>\n<p>Today I want to talk to any Jewish Republicans who might be considering throwing their support to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/forward.com\/news\/339953\/republican-jews-bow-to-reality-of-donald-trump-as-their-nominee\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Forward<\/a>, many of them are already \u201cfalling into line\u201d behind their f\u00fcrher. Sorry, I meant to type \u201cleader.\u201d Anyway it\u2019s the same word. In tribute to his authoritarian personality and German roots, I\u2019ll stick with f\u00fcrher.<\/p>\n<p>First in line is former W. spokesman, Ari Fleischer, who says he\u2019ll \u201cvote for Trump over Hillary any day.\u201d The Republican Jewish Coalition has not endorsed him, but has congratulated him. An endorsement shouldn\u2019t be too far behind. Sheldon Adelson was asked a while back if he would throw his support behind F\u00fcrher Drumpf and replied, \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why not??!!<\/p>\n<p>Hey Adelson: Maybe you should take a look at what real Jew-haters (not those kids who support BDS) are saying. Because actual, real neo-Nazis are supporting him. Somehow they have the idea that he\u2019s going to put Jews and Zionists in their place. Real neo-Nazis at websites like the Daily Stormer (named for Julius Streicher\u2019s Nazi Jew-hating \u201cnewspaper\u201d) are celebrating Trump\u2019s victory. Also, the KKK loves him. And let\u2019s not forget Louis Farrakhan whose hatred of the Jews gives white supremacists a run for their money.<\/p>\n<p>Why not??!!<\/p>\n<p>Because you\u2019re getting into bed with <em>those<\/em> people. You scream and cry and moan about a bunch of college students who support BDS but now Stormfront, the Grand Wizards of the KKK, and Minister Farrakhan are okey-dokey political partners? And you want young Jews to take you seriously? Maybe you should ask yourself what kind of values those groups identify in Trump to make them love him so much. Maybe you should wonder if those values are something you want to associate yourself with.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I\u2019ve learned from listening to\u00a0Republican Jews for Trump.\u00a0If they were looking for a uniter, they\u2019ve found one in him. After all, he\u2019s managed to unite neo-Nazis, the KKK, Louis Farrakhan, and Sheldon Adelson.<\/p>\n<p>Who could have seen that coming?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to say that I\u2019m beginning to understand why evangelical ministers protest about their 501(c)(3) restrictions on speaking up about candidates at official functions or in their publications.
