In the video below Bob Beckel among others have a strong reaction to this bigoted anti-Christian/ anti-Tim Tebow op ed from The Jewish Week.
“Rabbi You’re still a bigot” “We’re gonna raid mosques and burn down buildings? Where do you get off saying that you Punk?!”
UPDATE- The Jewish Week has removed the article from it’s website. JWF has it here.

Carbon Pootprint commented:
The dude is probably a Rabbi like Jesse and Al are Reverends. Leftist hack piece of crap.
Tyranny's Bain commented:
At least for me, Beckel makes “The Five” unwatchable. I am not averse to the opposition argument in a reasoned civil debate, but Beckel is anything but reasoned. He doesn’t debate, he screeches, bullies, interrupts, and is vile in general.
So, excuse me for not giving Beckel credit for getting one right.
Alana commented:
I, too, thought Beckel made it unwatchable.
Then he was gone one day, and I realized I missed his input. Strange, I know! But having him as a foil adds to the program.
He’s not Jewish, by the way. In fact, today they showed his house which he does up like
CRAZY for Christmas with lights and things!
Jim commented:
I went to The Jewish Week and could not find the article.
jharp commented:
A lot of the blowback on Tebow is from real Christians. Not fake ones like the jackasses around here.
Try Matthew 6:5-6 This would be Jesus speaking.
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Most Jews are leftists for some reason. And some Jews are strongly anti-Christian. And liberals in coastal cities like New York City absolutely despise right-wing White Christians in Middle America and the South. That’s who this guy is. He represents their views perfectly.
This proves that rightists who advocate pandering to ethnic groups who loyally vote Left is pointless. The mainstream Right in America has been staunchly pro-Jewish and pro-Israel for decades. Only a small minority of the isolationist Right bashes Israel and some Christian fundamentalists dislike Jews for rejecting Jesus (think Mel Gibson types).
But they’re still a minority.
And what has it gotten us? We still only get about 25% of the Jewish vote. Now, I’m not saying we should turn our backs on Jews because of this, I stand with Israel and like Jews regardless of how much they hate me and vote for the Left.
But the lesson is clear: These rightists who advoate we give amnesty to illegal immigrants and leave the borders wide open in order to court the hispanic vote are suicidally stupid. All you’re doing is allowing more future Democrat voters into the country and putting more nails in our political coffin.
Just do what’s right. Don’t betray your beliefs in order to pander to identity groups. Put America first in your policies. Don’t follow the Left by trying to balkanize demographic groups.

“And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.” 2Sam. 6:16
I guess some people just do not like public displays of faith. David was pretty public with his faith. So was Jesus, if I’m not mistaken. Quite public.
Go Tebow!
Mo commented:
This “rabbi”, Hammerman, is a typical Far Left moron. I read an article that showed him speaking at a “Tolerance for Muslim” rally. OY. I’m Jewish and I can truly say I was so disheartened that a fellow Jew, and a Rabbi, could write such a disgusting piece. Yeah, add me to the “first time I ever agreed with Bob Beckel” list, too.
What’s bad is that many Jews are being led by Rabbis such as this, and buy the same “program” of rank stupidity, both anti-Christian fear and pro-tolerance-of-Muslims….and yes, I understand why, I know the historic roots of these feelings, but have to say that the Jews who believe the Left’s lies need to study a bit. But it’s also true that most of these know very little about Judaism, much less any other history, so are easy prey for demagogic jerks like Hammerman.
Sad, and I hate to admit all of it, but that’s the way it is. I happen to go to a synagogue where the prevailing attitudes are much more conservative/Right, and I am sure almost all the members would be saddened by Rabbi Timmerman’s disgusting words.

I really have no idea what this means. I’ll try the google but any help would be appreciated.
I don’t know what the “ark of the Lord” is. Have no idea who Michal Saul is. And have no idea why or what the “despised him in her heart” is supposed to convey.
Thanks in advance.
reformation commented:
@ jharp: u must read the context to understand the entirety of what, and to whom Jesus was speaking when He said those words… it wasn’t to His true disciples, rather to the Pharisees (religious hypocrites of the day who enjoyed beating down the common man for their lack of religious knowledge). The Pharisees would openly pray in the street corner, thanking God for making them less sinful than the outcasts of society.
This is not what Tim Tebow is partaking in, therefore, your assumption that “real” christians are condeming him is false.
reformation commented:
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1Corinthians 10:31
This is a life verse for Tim Tebow… the reason he tries so hard to succeed in everything he does in life is because he wants to give God all the glory for everything.

I respectfully disagree with you. I think that is exactly what Tim Tebow is partaking in.
Nevertheless. Thanks for your response. It was very well put.
reformation commented:
You can listen to some of his prayers on NFL.com… they have him mic’d up.. pretty much his prayers go like, God I need your help, protect my teammates, be glorified in everything I do, whether I win or lose… etc.
It all depends on the intent of the heart… is he lifting himself up in pride, and putting people down, or is he genuinely thanking God for the opportunity to give Him glory?
You’re entitled to your opinion. =]

JHarp: What a shallow and self-rightous little thing you are.
“I don’t know what the “ark of the Lord” is. Have no idea who Michal Saul is. And have no idea why or what the “despised him in her heart” is supposed to convey.”
If you are going to quote scripture to others, you might try to learn a little more about the book you are quoting from. Maybe then you won’t look like such a moron.
Ace commented:
Some people’s reaction over this football player reminds me of the possessed man’s reaction at seeing Jesus!
“What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God?
I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”
For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
He asked him, “What is your name?”
He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Now there was on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding.
All the demons begged him, saying,
“Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
Ace commented:
The pigs are the Occupoopers.

So, you conjured up your opinion without any knowledge whatsoever of what was written and are looking to google for answers instead of the exact chapter and precise verses which were given to you so you could easily look it up.
Jesus was talking about the hypocritical lives of the pompous Pharisees , professional religious leaders who were twofaced cheats, doing one thing in public and another in private, and dumping onto the hapless people oppressive lists of rules and regs they made up themselves. Dreary, ambulance-chaser busy-body lawyers-types in robes.
Tebow is a good-natured athlete who has the joyful enthusiasm of someone who feels God’s presence. Makes him happy. He’s so happy, he makes OTHER people happy.
Jerry C commented:
jharp=pompous Pharisee
Hence, why he doesn’t approve of Tebow’s glorying God. Maybe jharp would have Tebow crucified for his inappropriate behavior?
jharp, I really hope you take this opportunity to realize you know nothing concerning the scriptures you parrot. I will pray that God will open your eyes & heart to the truth. May you actually read the Chapter & verses in totality and may God give you understanding. God bless Tebow.

From a comment at Fox Nation:
“Right…I can’t count the number of times those crazy Christians have ransacked my neighborhood, burningRaping and looting as they went!
Oh remember when those crazed Christians flew airliners into the world trade centers? Or when radical Christian factions declared war on the US? And all of Christianity in the US was silent about it? Remember? Remember? Wow!
Or how about those ChristiansKilling their own female children for some WARPED family honor? Horrible I tell you HORRIBLE CHRISTIANS!
Or those crazy Christians and their circumcision of women? It’s crazy I tell you CRAZY!!
And…and…and remember all those gay men the Christians HUNG BY THE NECK UNTIL_DEAD in Iran ?
In fact I even heard that if you draw a picture of Jesus that the “religion of peace – Christianity” will riot in the streets demanding the artist’s head! Why I remember when South Park showed Jesus on their show! And…and…and the comedy channel actually CENSORED it because of those VIOLENT TERRORIST CHRISTIANS!
I say BEWARE! B-E-W-A-R-E the Baptists! B-E-W-A-R-E the Protestants! B-E-W-A-R-E the Catholics! B-E-W-A-R-E them ALL! Because in the Mosques (oops sorry I meant churches) that they teach intolerance of other religions, and they’re setting the ground work for an uprising in the US!
BEWARE ”

I guess the trolls would rather have football players who shoot dogs, do drugs all night with hookers, beat their wives, blow all of their money on gold-plated toilets, and knock up some starlet on the side instead of a clean-cut earnest guy who tries to live his faith 24/7. You don’t have to put Biblical verses on your person on game day, but so what if he does? The way people react to this gentleman is astonishing to me and it shows me everything that is wrong with our culture. Are people so insecure they get all angry over this young man? He’s not asking you to believe what he believes. He’s not even holding himself out as better than his teammates or other ball players. (He’s remarkably humble.) So, what’s the hubub bub?
While we’re on the topic, somebody buy Satan a parka because I’m in total agreement with…Bob Beckel. Boy does it hurt to write that! But as it turns out the good rabbi, according to Yid With A Lid, is one of George Soros’s J-Street homeboys! What a surprise! So Soros isn’t just out to destroy our economy, eliminate our sovereignty, and subvert the Constitution. He also wants to destroy any prominent Christian.
