A Yom Kippur Letter to Joe Lieberman's Rabbis: Joe Is McCain's Best Jewish Friend. Please Ask Him To Beg McCain to Stop Encouraging Hate

I sent my own plea..

I do not believe that mccain will stop this maddness on his own he is too hell bent on winning at any and all costs...

"Country First"  what a joke!

Sen. Lieberman has alienated his Connecticut constituents with his personal politicking. He does not enjoy a heckuva lot of popular support. The democrats want nothing to do with him, and Connecticut is bluer than red, so becoming a republican might not help him either.

But he made his own bed and can live with the consequences.

Sen. Lieberman, just like McCain, has shown his true colors. He will condone/embrace Hate, if it becomes politically expedient. And to further his political ambition.

This letter is very impressive. It should be on every editorial page and read from every pulpit in America this weekend

All I have to say is this:  If any harm comes to Barak Obama physically, Palin and McCain should be held fully responsible and accountable for conspiring encouragement of manslaughter by mendacity.

Why is this woman so readily unavailable for public questioning? 

Why are the lawmakers being so secretive? 

Why are Americans voting for this private secretive ticket???

Here's hoping that Joe Lieberman takes the advice of this wise and far sighted Rabbi and tell McCain to stop the hatred that has far reaching negative consequences. There is this true story of a Catholic Priest in Nazi Germany lamenting - " They came for the Jews and I said nothing, for I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Trade Unionists and Communists, I again said nothing, as I was neither of them. Then they came for the Catholics, but there was no one else to speak out".

WITH THIS CRISIS AND THE ABSOLUTE HATEFUL WORDS COMING FROM THE GOP AND MOUTH OF SARAH PALIN, I ASK YOU AND ALL AMERICANS BLOGGING , HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH?

WORDS DO CARRY MEANING AND WHEN USED FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY, IT BECOMES A SCENE IN A TRAGIC AMERICAN STORY.

As a Baptist, I grew up hearing sermons condemning Jews for Crucifying Christ and condemning Catholics for having the Pope representing Christ and being a Southerner, I learned about Race through the eyes of Whites. With education and age comes knowledge, I now feel that most of those ideas I was taught as a youth were the bias of ignorant people. This message to Lieberman should be published and broadcast daily. The hate and division being created by the McCain campaign has no place in Politics. We don't need people like those in the Past who Preached Hatred against people of color or of other faiths. I thought we had moved beyond those days, but it looks as though they are returning. If enough of us denounce these people maybe we can create a Nation of One People who live by the Principles written into Our Constitution.

Funny. I was thinking yesterday that the depths to which McCain is sinking and his apparent scorched-earth policy, coupled with his personal fury, reminded me of the orders to bomb and punish the German people by..........well, you can guess.

Thank you for this seed. I think I will do some letter writing to my "outreach" communities and ask that they PLEASE do the same as this author asks of the Rabbis. Advise the public at large do NOT turn our focus from those who have harmed this country, just to turn on each other. It is so very wrong. MIS-DIRECTION is the message and McCain/Palin are the messengers.
