is a "crappy" and "horrible Jew" yesterday morning . . . .
It's bad enough when you have Jews defining other Jews as "bad Jews," IOW, not Jewish enough and don't deserve respect.* It's even more heinous to have a gentile (non-Jew) define who's a "good Jew" and a "bad Jew". Does that mean the "bad Jews" should be subject to antisemitism and the others left alone? We deserve to be targeted because we don't follow a uniform practice of Judaism? We have moral failings just because we don't fit into the pigeon hole that someone else constructed?
It's reprehensible as well as distasteful.
* My family went through that growing up. We started in a reformed temple and "progressed" to a conservative temple. Clearly, the congregation of the latter synagogue didn't accept us. We weren't pious enough; we weren't sincere Jews. It was more than we ate bacon. They made a judgment and we felt separated from the rest of them.

(4,484 posts)I know young Jews who were snubbed at Temple because their father was a Gentile. Very sad. Worse is the orange felon judging Emhoff so cruelly because of his politics.

(3,023 posts)dirt bag who, last I knew, was doing radio ads for the rehab center he had most recently attended.
He got canned from WFAN because even that decidedly low brow, all sports talk operation couldn't tolerate his erratic behavior.
He is part of Giuliani, Bernard Karik, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, and Guardian Angels dirt bag shit circle of drunks and convicted liars that passes for the highest echelons of NYC conservative media stars. Trump is their model politician, with his racism and craziness the main attraction.
Sid Rosenberg's thoughts on anything are to be scorned and ignored. Serious people pay no attention.

(3,023 posts)but they are two peas in a rotten pod, and WABC is a haven for talk radio hosts fired from elsewhere, and crooks from the Giuliani sleazy cops/politicians gang.

Of course, the bottom of the cesspool is where you can find all the MAGAts.

(3,023 posts)Fox got sucked into when the Guardian Angels mugged that guy on camera cause they thought he was an illegal immigrant, except he wasn't and he's suing the hell out of all involved.
Curtis Sliwa is the primary dirt bag running the Guardian Angels and he has been one of the "stars", along with Giuliani, of the shitty WABC radio galaxy that, apparently, Sid Rosenberg now has a sleazy spot in

(3,023 posts)to be too sleazy and publicly shameful even for WABC's woeful standards, so he was canned. Perhaps that was how the repugnant Sid Rosenberg was able to worm his way onto their wretched airwaves

(2,000 posts)I might view his comments as just more of his hateful and weird drivel. Like the term rino they use, to judge and shame others in their party who don't conform on demand. It's a cult and he's the leader. They behave badly, lie, steal, cheat, call people names, act like rotten toddlers.
As a Jew, I've been insulted by tfg a number of times when i read or heard him say.. real Jews vote for him,
Dem Jews aren't real Jews, or real Americans, jews are stupid if we vote Dem, etc.
It's more of the same he's been spewing for years.
And it doesn't get easier to hear.
It is dangerous and scary, not to mention hurtful.

Honestly, when you consider a group affiliation that extends to people as disparate as Bernie Sanders and Stephen Miller, what does it actually mean?

Jew. Jew. Jew. is all he cares about. He just wants to make sure that when you think of Emhoff, you think Jew.
And it worked.
