Have you read that article by Jennifer Rubin in Commentary? I did, and it drove me nearly apoplectic. I wish I could quote at length from my BlackBerry to illustrate how delusional the article and the author is about Palin and Jews, but let me summarize as best as I can.
Jews' hatred of Palin goes beyond liberal/conservative divide. They hate who she is. Palin is sexy, Jews like frumpy. Palin is blue collar and has worked jobs Jews won't touch. Palin's child is in the military, Jews never do that. Palin has 6 (or 5) children, Jews never have that many kids (unless their frum, then they're OK). Jews read, but they have been misinformed about Palin, who loved to read as a child, and they simply don't appreciate "instinctual" leadership anyway. Oh, and Palin has a Downs baby, while Jews love to abort.
My G-d, if the writer's last name weren't Rubin and the magazine not Commentary, I might be forgiven if I thought I were reading an excerpt from Mein Kampf. The picture Rubin draws of her fellow Jews is so mind-numbingly one-dimensional, I almost take pity on her. But, as a Jew who didn't attend an Ivy League institution, and whose cousins that did came from lower-middle-class circumstances whose parents sacrificed literally everything to give them the best, and counts Jewish military members (marines included) amongst relatives and friends, well…Rubin shows that she and Podhoretz and the rest of them in the Commentary cocoon must walk around with their kops in their tuchas.
