An illustration of that gap came just two weeks ago, when Palin’s church, the Wasilla Bible Church, gave its pulpit over to a figure viewed with deep hostility by many Jewish organizations: David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus.

Palin’s pastor, Larry Kroon, introduced Brickner on Aug. 17, according to a transcript of the sermon on the church’s website.

“He’s a leader of Jews for Jesus, a ministry that is out on the leading edge in a pressing, demanding area of witnessing and evangelism,” Kroon said.

Brickner then explained that Jesus and his disciples were themselves Jewish.

“The Jewish community, in particular, has a difficult time understanding this reality,” he said.

Brickner’s mission has drawn wide criticism from the organized Jewish community, and the Anti-Defamation League accused them in a report of “targeting Jews for conversion with subterfuge and deception.”

Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

WHO considered putting this nutcase an elderly man's heartbeat from the presidency? Was it McNut himself, or someone else? Thanks a lot from the whole entire world!!!

3. Of course, Brickner is not, and never has been, Jewish.

He was born and raised Baptist, by Baptist parents, who themselves were never Jewish.

4. Isn't Jews for Jesus kind of self-defeating?

They are confused about which fairy tale to believe...the old one or the newer one. So they pick both. Hey why not?

If the jewish person decides to hang on to some of his or her jewish worship traditions, for family or personal reasons, that person is still jewish, I guess.

20. Hey! My sister is a JfJ!

one of many cults she has belonged to over the years. Oh, and she is fucking insane! The mainstream Jews in the US recognize this so called religion for what it is, a bunch of religious zealots praying/wishing/hoping for Armageddon. Fucking Nuts!
