22. The Rabbi has just sold his soul for George W. Bush.

Make no mistake, this is not about supporting a fellow Jew. This is about a man selling his soul - literally prostituting himself for George W. Bush. Gellman has shown us he will say anything for or against another Jew - so long as it serves the purposes of GWB. I am outraged. I think every Jew should be outraged by this behavior. Gellman doesn't support Lieberman - he is only doing the bidding of Bush and Cheney. He would throw Lieberman under a bus if asked - clearly he did that in 2000.

He gets no protection or deference because he is a rabbi. He inserts himself squarely into politics and steps out of the spiritual world altogether. Ain't nothing spiritual about these articles.

More specifically, the good Rabbi lies. Pure and simple. He lies about why people are upset with Lieberman. He glosses over the Iraq war issue - pretends the disagreements are only about when to get out and says everyone wants to get out and it is only a disgreement about timing. He fails completely to say that people are upset about the fact that Joe supported the invasion, whether or not there were WMD.

He then marginalizes people who disagree in good faith. No compassion, no understanding.

He makes his reasons clear in 2000 and in 2006 - he supports George Bush.

I know of Rabbi Gellman. One of my family members went to him for pre marriage counseling. I am absolutely disgusted by his statements and feel he has completely sold his soul -- but not for Joe Lieberman -- for George W. Bush
