Norman Podhoretz: It’s Not Rush Limbaugh Who Should Apologize – Commentary

Posted by Bio ↓ on Jan 25th, 2010 Comments ↓

In my new book, Why Are Jews Liberals?, I argue that it no longer makes any sense for so many of my fellow Jews to go on aligning themselves with the forces of the Left.

In the course of describing and agreeing with the book the other day, Rush Limbaugh cited a few of the numerous reasons for the widespread puzzlement over the persistence of liberalism within the American Jewish community. And while discussing those reasons, he pointed to the undeniable fact that for “a lot of people” — prejudiced people, as he called them twice — the words “banker” and “Wall Street” are code words for “Jewish.” Was it possible, he wondered, that Obama’s attacks on bankers and Wall Street were triggering a certain amount of buyer’s remorse within the American Jewish community, which gave him 78 percent of its vote?

    Well, I've been trying to figure out for years why Jews are predisposed to communism . As borne out by the empirical evidence of the declassified record of the last 75 years.
