Great commentary. But I wish he would have mentioned Palin's Church - The Wasilla Bible Church - and its association with an anti-Judaism group, Jews for Jesus, led by evangelical preacher David Brickner. This group has been repudiated by just about every major Jewish religious organization. In fact, the group Jews for Jesus is facing fierce protest in Israel RIGHT NOW! (See previous link). But you won't find this information in the mainstream American media. Read more here.
David Brickner made the following comments, while preaching at Palin's church as a visiting minister (at the invite of her current Pastor, Larry Kroon):
Palin now attends the Wasilla Bible Church. David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus, was a speaker. He told congregants that terrorist attacks on Israel were God's "judgment" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity. Brickner said, "Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. When a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment -- you can't miss it." Source Cnn.com
In other words, Brickner believes that violence and murder is simply God's punishment for Jews who have not converted to the proper religion - Christianity. Sarah Palin was in the church on August 17th when these comments were made.

The context doesn't change the fact that Jews for Jesus is being fiercely protested in Isreal RIGHT NOW...and several Jewish groups have renounced Jews for Jesus for their message and their practices.
It's hard to imagine a context where those comments would be appropriate....but i'm not going to argue the point. I have seen enough videos of Brickner giving his speeches across the Country to know that he's flaky.... that's just my opinion.
The information is out there...and people can come to their own conclusions after they take in the info... that's why I made the postings on this topic.
