 This is Sarah Palin's Reverand Wright moment: she sat in church two weeks ago while her preacher, Larry Kroon, invited a guest - David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus - to spew anti-semitic hatred.

Here's what Brickner said:

Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."

Will she disown Brickner? And what about Kroon? Read the entire thing here.

And since we're in the mood to talk about "over scrutinizing" Sarah, let's compare Palin's situation with Brickner to Obama and Reverend Wright. Israel Matzav writes that he finds the Wright situation more offensive to Jews.

Really?

The case with Wright: he was friends with Louis Farakan, who it is fair to say has views about as anti-semitic as Brickner.

But Farakan never spoke to Obama's church while Obama was there. He certainly didn't do it two weeks before he received the nomination. And Wright didn't take up a collection plate for Farakan.

So let's review. Palin's situation would be equivalent to Obama's if:

Two weeks before Obama received the nomination, he sat in church with Reverend Wright while Wright invited Farakan to give anti-Jewish rants. And this was not the first but the SECOND time Obama had attended a Farakan sermon. And after the sermon, Wright had sent around a collection for Farakan.

That's essentially what Palin did with Brickner. Two weeks ago. At least from the Jewish perspective, SHOULDN'T THIS BE BIGGER NEWS THAN REVEREND WRIGHT?
