Muman, I agree with you that Simpson didn't deserve that. Notice that I wrote that 99% of the time Chaimfan is right. You just mentioned the 1% of the time when he goes a little too far.
DownwithIslam, the reason why I think Jessica Simpson deserves the ultimate curse is twofold: she committed the worst sin imaginable short of murder (adultery--she murdered her marriage to a faithful and loving husband) and because by continuing to whore around, she sets an evil example for stupid young girls growing up in this world who do not have a moral backbone to begin with and are likely to see her actions as okay.
I
admitted in my anti-Simpson thread that
I do not know what her position on Israel or other Jewish issues is. I was upfront with that. You filled me in on several things that I did not know, such as that she is a Republican and supporter of our troops. However, that by itself does not make her righteous, and does not make her an ally of Zion. Lots of "right-wing" war hawks are all gung-ho in terms of patriotism, but are anti-Semitic to the core. Look at the group of crackpots that continue to talk about the alleged Liberty Ship "incident" if you want an example of these animals. She could be very "patriotic" and be one of those who thinks that the Jews are who are bringing this country down.
Moreover, it's entirely possible that Simpson's "patriotism" is a marketing ploy to help her in her home demographic, rural Texas. In that part of the country, conservatism and American values are still esteemed very highly, and it is simply good sense to play up to it. Remember when Chaim pointed out to Dr. Dan that it is in the best interest of schvartzes to act friendly to whites in public, so that they can make sales from them and be employed by them? I think there is a good chance that that is true of Simpson and her Republicanism as well.
But let's just pretend that she really is a patriot, and that she is a Zionist too, to boot. Does that make her righteous? Gehenom no. What good is it if she holds some correct views, and continues to work to destroy peoples' lives (like her loving ex-husband Nick Lachey) and to make the rest of the world as immoral as she is? Several years ago, there was a filthy, vile sow on Myspace whose profile I saw, "Blond Ambition", who professed to be Jewish, and to be an ardent Zionist, and yet her profile was filled with the kind of written smut that would make Larry Flynt envious. Is BA any kind of "ally" to us just because she claimed to be pro-Israel? And would Simpson be? I can guarantee you all that some of Simpson's impressionable young fans are Jewish. What is she doing to their souls?
So I don't take back my curse against Simpson--though I would definitely agree that Ginsburg (yimach schma vezichra) deserves it much more so.
