You don’t call Curt Schilling a Yankees fan, and you don’t mock the idea of shaking hands at Fenway during the Bruins Winter Classic — which is what Coakley did – if you want to win in Massachusetts. She didn’t. Scott Brown did. The Republican Brown even won Ted Kennedy’s Cape Cod district. And he’s good for Israel, unlike Coakley, who supported Obama’s neo-colonial desire to impose his will upon the Israelis. (Thomas Friedman suggested that maybe Obama can let the Israelis and Palestinians settle this by themselves. Imagine that. And the way Obama’s going, why would the Israelis want to take his heavy-handed advice about anything?)
Obama’s candidate, Coakley, may have been one of the worst district attorneys — ever. Funny, how the Obama crowd shvitzes about legal protections for terrorists in Gitmo, claiming to care so much for achieveing perfect legal hygiene to protect some of the worst people on the planet, and then they don’t care about their candidate’s history of hounding innocent people on sex abuse charges that were eventually overturned — but not before innocent people spent years in prison, their lives ruined. The ultimate Democrat triumph — free Gitmo and read the airplane bomber his Miranda rights while falsely imprisoning working-class Americans. This was too much for even the good people of Massachusetts, what a writer at Psychology Today called a modern witch hunt on the level of Salem.
Of course, to hear liberal Jews tell it, the witch-hunting Coakley was the candidate of Tikkun Olam. Sure she was. Aren’t they all? All Tikkun Olam means anymore is that we’re talking about a Democrat who believes that the Torah is worthwhile only insofar as it coincides with Obama’s agenda. Doesn’t the Torah specifically support cap n’ trade, distorting the facts about global warming, delivering a huge handout to health insurance companies, and paying off Nebraska’s Sen. Nelson with a smoke-filled-room bribe while sticking New York State with a billion-dollar deficit that will result in a massive reduction of services for poor people? Is reducing services to the poor part of Tikkun Olam? But the liberal rabbis say it is.
How could Sen. Lieberman not support such a terrific package? He didn’t. That’s why we were told that Joe Lieberman was such a bad Jew, all the liberal rabbis said so, he didn’t support Tikkun Olam’s health care fiasco that would have expanded costs, not care, a bill that leaves more than 27 million uninsured. No matter. I’m still waiting to hear one — just one — example from a liberal Jew in which Torah (the root of Tikkun Olam) ever — ever — differs from the Democrat platform. Remarkable coincidence. And so convenient. (Just like Sarah Palin’s merging of her religion and politics, except she’s more honest about it). Tikkun Olam — if there two phonier words in American Judaism, liberals like Coakley have yet to learn them. She lost for a multitude of beautiful reasons.
It wasn’t just Republicans that beat Coakley, it was the Independents. Everyone kept saying that Massachusetts is 3-1 Democrat. But it is 51 percent Independent, many of whom have come to despise Harry Reid’s and Nancy Pelosi’s idea of Congress, let alone the results of Barack Hoover Obama’s disconnect about unemployment. These Independents aren’t as gullible and slavish as liberal Jews, who are not independent at all. You can bet they went big for Coakley, who mocked the new senator for shaking hands with real people outside Fenway in the cold.
