Silas777 is a genuine supporter of Israel and truly respects and likes the Jewish People. Those who besmirch him and Rush IMHO are usually Communist Baby Killers!

Please know that conservative Jews appreciate Christian friendship very much, and we admire your constancy and loyalty in the face of so much contempt and "spitting" that you get from many liberal Jews.

Don't kid yourself. We know exactly what you are. When "critics of Israel" start criticizing other nations with equal vitriol, then we might believe you. Until then, your slip is showing.

Yeah, and when we start handing those other nations $4,000,000,000.00 a year and start wars to crush their enemies, I might take your comparison seriously.

You asserted:
How is this so difficult to understand? Christians such as myself believe that the Jews are Gods chosen people...

I was just curious how, you as a Christian, reconcile your belief with the Christian scriptures were it states that the promise given to the Hebrews has been extended to anyone with faith in Jesus Christ, therefore the chosen people. There is nothing in that scripture that requires hatred or dislike of Jews.

The current government of Israel does not speak for all Jews. Never has, probably never will.

To propose that a Christian reading their Bible would be justified in hating Jews, just shows you are woefully confused, ignorant or just down right deceitful!
Your last sentence is really the bottom line , which is Liberal Jews choose to call Conservatives such as Limbaugh Anti-semitic, not because they are, but because they are Conservative, much in the same way the left will call Conservatives racist when they disagree with a Liberal Black man. The fact remains Conservatives such as Limbaugh and myself defend and support Jews, Liberal or not, you may not like it but that wont stop us. Sorry!

Where did I ever "propose that a Christian reading their Bible would be justified in hating Jews"?

You're hallucinating zeroes. The U.S. gives roughly the same amount of aid money to various Arab countries, including Egypt and our other enemies.

The problem with his statement is that he is generalizing. Why is he bringing religion into this and insulting the intelligence of Jews? I had no idea that Jews voted in herds...that is what Rush may as well be saying. I understand asking why Jews vote democrat but to imply that Obama is attacking bankers, therefore he is attacking Jews is going to far. I am not suprised since this is coming from the same man who said that school busses should be segragated. He is a pompous biggot no matter how you try to spin it.

You're swinging at windmills. Where have I called Limbaugh anti-Semitic. What Foxman said and I have said I agreed with is Limbaugh's comments on bankers and money people is "borderline anti-Semitic". Limbaugh may have just worded his thoughts poorly, but he walked right up to the border.
