Ed Koch gets it wrong on the Christian Right. He thinks they...

like Jewish people, when in fact the Christian Right is very Anti-Semitic.

"In the religious sector, I am grateful to the Reverends Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, both of whom have stood up time and again in support and defense of the Jewish nation."

Are we talking about the same Pat Robertson? The Pat I am thinking of has said this:
"Communism was the brainchild of German-Jewish intellectuals." -- Pat Robertson, The New World Order, (1991), p.17

And Jerry Falwell has said this:
"The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior."

"I know a lot of you here today don't like Jews. And I know why. He (a Jew) can make more money accidentally than you can on purpose."

"As long as they don't convert, Jews are "spiritually blind."

Israel must rebuild the Temple of Solomon in order for the Apocalypse to occur according to the 2000 year old maniacal ravings of a nomadic goat herder.

...because they believe it's the key to Armageddon. Their ultimate goal is to hasten the end of the world so they can get sucked upstairs and taunt the rest of us.

Trouble is, they're already rich, self-righteous and pompous here on Earth. Like the Pharisees of Jesus' time, they're getting their rewards right now.

Hey fundies: Stop beating on your Bible and read it some time.

Koch is a senile old fool if he thinks they respect Jews and Judaism for what they are.

According to the wacked-out interpretation of scripture the fundies use, Israel must rebuild the temple so that Jesus can come back and kick everyone's ass (Jewish ass included).

RAPTURE/RAPTURE INDEX , you stupid old fuck.

..you'll see EXACTLY why "Pat and Jerry" seem to "like" you so much. At least until you rebuild the temple...then by the way , Jesus returns and all non-converts to christianity , including Jews , are toast - literally.

his name is ed koch sorry thats ed kitch

puleeeeze. fyi he and zell are having a torid closet fist fk romance. he is not fit to lick the boots of any true democrat. the only thing he might be good at is supervising the log cabin republicans' lobotomies. hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ick.

...of a bible verse: "I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you." Of course, the Jews were still going to hell if they didn't accept Christ.

Ed still thinks people care what he has to say. Kind of poignant, really.

Isn't it sad that a republican like Giuliani did a ten times better job than you, Ed? Pisses me off. Now you fellate Bush at every opportunity because you're still to shell-shocked from 9-11 to take a minute to actually THINK.

These are the same people that were putting your forbears in gas chambers and ovens 60 years ago.

"How am I doin?"

You still suck, Ed.

They like to USE the Jews because without them, Jeebus ain't coming back.

Fundies still think Jews are going to hell, however, just like Catholics and Atheists.

The religious right hates jews, but they love Israel.
