Joe Lieberman has betrayed his Jewish faith or something

The professional Jews will whine that I am being vulgar when I judge the Jewish Lieberman’s politics against his faith. But Lieberman is the one who professes his faith to be fundamental to his morality. I am just examining the effects of his faith on his psychology.

Let me be appear to be even more vulgar. What makes Jews cringe about Lieberman’s sanctimonious opposition to the only clause in the health-care bill that actually is worth the name “reform” is that, to be blunt, it is so close to an anti-Semitic caricature. Lieberman is greedy, arrogant, venal, and vindictive. He recalls the New Testament’s vicious caricature of the ancient Jewish Pharisees—who were, in reality, rational, charitable and humane…

Let the professional Jews quote the Talmud at me, but the way Lieberman has derived his political morality from his religious fundamentalism, and used both as fig leaves to cover his thralldom to money, is ritually unclean. Some people—for example, the sick and the crippled—might say that it is really not Jewish at all.
