Don’t say he didn’t warn you.
Nutcase rabbi extraordinaire Yehuda Levin is putting the world—especially the “special Chanukah conclave” of more than 850 ultra-Orthodox rabbis who recently gathered in New York City to hear him—on notice: A Mitt Romney presidency means a “homosexualized” America.
Which of course, in turn, means rampant child abuse.
The homo-obsessed Levin has previously blamed the gays for everything from 9/11 to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Now he’s got Mitt in his sights—clearly the would-be Republican presidential nominee wants nothing more than to turn the United States into one big Gaga-worshipping bareback bathhouse.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Governor Romney, over a long political career, has earned the title of homosexualist,” rants Levin, “one who constantly advances the militant, anti-religious, anti-society, immoral homosexual agenda to the detriment of family people.”
“We plead with other religious groups to speak out on this,” his spew continues, “and we plead with religious people to understand that the increase of the homosexualization of society increases the likelihood of Sandusky-like child abuse.”
Oh, blah blah blah. Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go back to roasting this baby we just murdered.

The Hasidim (or Haredi) are just a bunch of inbred loons. And they have tons of boy-molestation cases throughout their communities that they cover up (like the Catholic Church always did). They’re so unlike regular Jews.

When your own summation to your story is “blah blah blah” imagine how your readers feel about its relevance.

At the end he got one guy clapping out if 850. That speaks volumes. Romney is anti-gay marriage federal ban enthusiast which makes this guy a double dork. But above all this, his advocacy regarding “kosher”; I mean really, those hats!!!

Silly Rabbi!

Extremist nutjobs. Doesn’t matter the flavor of the extremist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, they’re all fucking nutcases.

Wow, this guy is one candle short of a menora. I can imagine him taking a sniper rifle and heading off to san francisco. It’s nice to see that everyone else present didn’t even offer him polite applause, let alone support.

… and that guy was probably clapping out of relief that the speech had ended!
BTW, I think I’ve seen the nutjob before – chasing Bruno:

Religion = Return to Dark Ages. They are all delusional nuts.

This from people who believe they can’t ever eat a shrimp or enjoy a ham and cheese sandwich on rye because it’s a “sin” and an “abomination”.
Sorry, but if the Lord didn’t intend for us to eat shellfish, he never would have made lobster taste so good.

In addition, the inbreeding is so severe in those communities, with all its subsequent psychological and physical problems, that murderer Levi Aron’s lawyer is currently using it as the defense in the trial. Everyone in NYC knows how inbred the Hasidim are (you can just watch how strangely they act, move, cross the street even…), but that other major homophobe Dove Hikind totally freaked out over that “defense” and has denied any inbreeding and called the lawyer a “self-hating Jew”, etc.

The Nazis said the same things about the Jews. Different words, different time, but the same, nonetheless. There must be a nice island somewhere for all religious fanatics. There they could hash it all out with out the rest of us having to be subjected to their superstitious rantings.

Maybe a nuclear test sight?

And all the gay cater-waitstaff and their straight cater-waiting friends at the event replied “Um… yes” while winking at each other when asked “Is this kosher?”.

Of course, without an FDA and with a sometimes limited fuel supply while wandering around the desert (leading to undercooked meat), the prohibition made sense for health reasons in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellfish_poisoning and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis .
They didn’t know about parasites and the toxins that sometimes are in shellfish, so they attributed any illness as a punishment from an angry god. It’s strange that people still follow those practices today when they are no longer useful.

@B: So they had shellfish in the Sinai? OY! That must have been ripe!
iDavid
Tabomanation or not Tabomanation. That is the metaphorical question only the most wise can answer. Religions do not base their fanatasies on “wise”. They react without forethought and therefore should be dismissed, completely, without further thought.

This Rabbi has build a name in NYC as a crazy homo-hating guy. No one in the Orthodox Jewish world even respects him or follows him. He always has same 15 people clapping to him at all of his “conferences.” He caused a scandal when he supported a Republican nominee running against Governor Cuomo.
I bet that this Rabbi Levin fucks his own children behind closed doors, or like that Evangelical pastor has his own rentboys smoking crack together and giving each other “massages” on Saturdays.

We need to take homophobic levine and his ilk, put em’ on a plane and parachutte them down over iran, maybe they would land on amajemidads, or however you spell the jerks name, front lawn.

No. 16 · kevininbuffalo “@B: So they had shellfish in the Sinai? OY! That must have been ripe!” What do you think surrounds the Sinai Peninsula on most of its sides? 🙂
Oh, they didn’t write this stuff while they were in the Sinai, if they ever were – the archeological evidence we have is that the Sinai stuff in Exodus is a myth (with the number of people who were supposed to have exited Egypt, and wandering around an area that size for 40 years, you’d expect to find some hard evidence of them having been there). My guess: there was a steady trickle of escaped slaves leaving Egypt and the stories they told, with the expected level of exaggeration as the stories got repeated, turned into the Exodus myth. An occasional runaway slave would probably not leave a detectable trail.
The prohibitions on shell fish were probably with regard to food from the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba, or the Sea of Galilee.

I am so stealing this line.
That’s all I have to say, really, though, because I am sick of these religious nutcases.

It’s spelled Ahmadinejad. Some Iranians call him Ahmaqinejad,(“Ahmaq” is Farsi for “stupid”). Obviously they only call him that when they are out of the country with no intention of returning or when their government isn’t listening. It’s funny in Farsi as it only requires a one-letter change to his name, at least in the Roman-alphabet transliteration. Here’s an example of this usage http://www.kurdishaspect.com/doc051110ST.html (it’s a Kurdish web site put up by people who have a very strong dislike for Ahmadinejad, and probably Israel as well as it tries to tie the two together in some sort of plot that only the authors of this web site would understand.)

Of course, he’s just a Pharisees. Jesus famously said in his sermon on Pharisees that there should be no rabbis, ministers, cardinals, bishops, instructors, religious teachers, etc. because they attempt to usurp other people’s direct and personal relationship with God.
That’s why the rabbis killed Jesus; he spoke the truth, that they are hypocrites and Pharisees, whom Jesus said would never enter Heaven.

Oh look .. a leader of a religious group accusing “the gays community” of being “paedophiles”.
I seem to remember the Catholic Church taking a similar “hard line” apprach to “the gay community” and look what we found out their own officials were doing?!
I wonder what (if anything) the Rabbis are trying to smokescreen?
