Anti-Semitism Is Still Alive and Sick in USA

Nadene Goldfoot                                                          
Republican candidates for the Presidency in 2016, debate last night 9/17/2015.  
Jeb Bush-former Gov; Dr. Ben Carson-neurosurgeon; Chris Christie-Gov.NJ; Ted Cruz-Sen. TX; Carly Fiorina-former CEO; Lindsey Graham-Sen.SC& Colonel, Mike Huckabee, former Gov Ark; Bobby Jindal-Gov LA; John Kasich-Gov. Ohio; Rand Paul-Sen Kentucky; Rick Perry-Gov TX-resigned;  Marco Rubio-Sen. Florida; Rick Santorum-Sen. Penn; Donald Trump-Business;  Scott Walker-Gov. WI (no picture)  


It was Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Marco Rubio who answered the question, 

"What will America look like after you are president?  

These 2 senators and a governor mentioned ISRAEL in their response.  
  

                                                                           
Ann Coulter, born in December 1961, Republican pundit and writer, got off with the Republican candidates who mentioned Israel and tweeted about them "pandering to f....ing Jews. 
                                                                           
A few of these candidates spoke about Israel's importance in the scope of USA's future which brought on Coulter's ire-and her bad language..  
 It's bad enough when people write about us Jews in particular, but she had the audacity to use "f....ing" as our adjective, showing her very big disdain for our people. 

 She was being interviewed about it on TV by Megyn Kelly of Fox News who called her on being upset with "Jews" but not with the "f....ing" adjective!  Megyn seemed to not want to arouse her ire, so just went on and let it lie..  I didn't like to see that go unchallenged.

Just letting you know, people, that anti-Semitism is still with us in America.  Gosh, and we're all of about 2% of the population!  We don't have the reputation of getting drunk, winding up in jail or prison, and most of us are either business people or teachers and professors, doctors, lawyers and I've heard one is even an Indian Chief!  We stay off the unemployment rolls quite well!  So what's her beef?  Anti-Semitism.  We don't go to her accepted list of churches.

I noticed her anti-Semitic nasties on October 11, 2007 when . "Ann Coulter called Jews "Imperfect" on a Cable TV program, and I wrote a brief article about it.  She hasn't changed.  That imperfectness comes from not belonging to her religion.  She must think of herself and her peers as the perfect people, then.  

She wrote one good article about Jews and Israel which which I wrote about in 2007:  http://jewishfactsfromportland.blogspot.com/2007/11/european-anti-semitism-disclosed-in.html where she blasted ADL for not doing anything, and this had merit.  " The fact is that Israel is in danger of being eliminated. The ADL is not facing the truth, and is pussyfooting around with other less important issues."   However, it is laughable that she, who has the reputation now of knocking Jews, did once appropriately.  

I always wonder about people who display anti-Semitism.  "Ann Hart Coulter is an American conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist, and lawyer. She frequently appears on television, radio.  She was being interviewed about the Republican's 2nd "Debate" last night.  

Ann Hart.  Hart can be either Jewish or German.  According to her bio, she's never been married. She had been engaged to an Andrew Stein, Democrat!  He might even be Jewish. Stein told the New York Post that the relationship was over, citing irreconcilable differences."  Ann Coulter.    Coulter is a surname of ancient Gael royals. The O’Coulter (I. O’Coltarain) chiefs ruled Dal Coirb in the portion of Gaelic Ireland's Ulidia (kingdom) that is now the Barony (Ireland) of Castlereagh. Ulidia kingdom was the last patrimony of the Ulaid nation."  So it could be that this "princess" did not want to be Abie's Irish rose.  

 "Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to "stir up the pot", and does not "pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do", drawing criticism from the left, and sometimes from the right."  

 She lives in New York and Florida, states with a high Jewish population.    Most likely her parents reacted in kind to Jews.  Usually it starts in the home. 

 "Coulter's brand of insult commentary has earned her a unique, conservative fan base. She has insulted other things besides Jews, such as 9/11 widows, as well as  a variety of Democratic politicians.  There is a comment I see revealing.  Most Jews in New York are Democrats, and she being a lawyer, must have come up against arguing against a few Jewish lawyers.  

Her personality makeup is to insult people, much like Trump's.   She lost her job with MSNBC in "February 1997, after she insulted the then U.S. Ambassador to France, the late Pamela Harriman, as MSNBC was covering her memorial service. She was dismissed again from another job after she tangled with a Vietnam veteran campaigning against landmines.

"Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to "stir up the pot", and does not "pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do", drawing criticism from the left, and sometimes from the right."  She has found that she gets attention this way, so it's now her brand.  

I might add that Mike Huckabee has a TV program and always defends Israel, at least every time I have watched. This is not an affect he has just put on for running for president.  It's part of him.   He has a lot of knowledge of Israel's history and has visited many times. 

 I note that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, the 2 junior senators, have roots in Cuba and in being newer immigrants than most people.  I don't know their brand of Christianity, but am happy to note that they defend Israel.  In my book, these are pluses. 

 Marco Rubio, U of Miami educated,  is a junior United States Senator from Florida, serving since January 2011.  He was an excellent debater.

  Ted Cruz, Harvard and Princeton educated,  is also a junior 
senator and in  the "U.S. Senate since  2012 and is the first Hispanic American to serve as a U.S. senator representing Texas.   Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, his name officially is Rafael Edward Cruz.  We are lucky his parents moved to the USA as he is a go-getter.
