Could whoever reads this, have Rabbi Gordon Papert contact me, if you know how to reach him? I would like to speak with him and this is the closest to locating him that I can find, when doing a search by his name.
Thank you

“Abhorrent”? A bit exuberant, no? Why can’t you just “strongly disagree”. Does all criticism have to be a tongue-lashing exercise? I mean, how bad can he be if he’s still in Kiryat Shmonah and not in Kedumin?

As for Obama, are you too mesmerized? The wrong Wright relationship, friendship with Said and Khalidi, fund money to terrorist-linked groups, the Rezko sleaze connection, et al.

The issue is: Why did Obama just wake up now to the racist, anti Israel and anti Semitic remarks of his preacher who has been preaching these unacceptable things for over 20 years.

The issue is: the Obama who sat in the pew and what he didn’t say nor did he do for the past 20 years in a church lead by a racist Farakan supporter.

The issue is: Why did it take Obama 20 years to make this statement about the minister who in the meantime counseled him, married him, baptised his children and gave a lifetime achievement award to Farakhan, a man who in Wright’s words “epitomizes greatness”. The same Wright also preaches that America had 911 coming and that Jews are blood suckers.

Obama initially said he never heard any such hateful remarks from Wright. Please. Only a public outcry lead to his recent statement in which he still did not completely disassociate himself from Dr. Wright.

This 20 years of silence is going to haunt Obama all the way to the democratic convention and no speech can cover up that silence.
