It's a sad reflection on present day politics that people like this guy are representative of the GOP and DNC. How can a person with such little respect for the wife he loves have any respect for the people he is supposed to represent? http://www.usatoday.com/story/onpol...ny-weiner-jewish-voter-confrontation/2764427/ Anthony Weiner's support in New York City mayoral polls has been dropping for weeks because of scandal. Now, he's got to contend with a video showing him in a shouting match with an Orthodox Jewish voter. During a Brooklyn campaign stop Wednesday, Weiner got into an angry confrontation with a voter who called the Democrat a "scumbag" and "disgusting" because of the candidate's sexting habits. "What rabbi taught you that you're my judge," Weiner can be heard saying on the video captured by Jacob Kornbluh, a blogger who posted the exchange on NYCelects.com. Ross Barkan of Politicker was there and provided a detailed account of what transpired between Weiner and Saul Kessler, a real estate manager, at a Borough Park bakery. Readers should take note that the exchange occurred hours before Rosh Hashanah. The Jewish New Year begins at sundown Wednesday.
I am troubled that Weiner's campaign seems to have gone limp. Without politics, what can he do for a living? Debbie Schultz and Hillary need to give Weiner a hand and blow some life back into Weiner. They need to help Weiner rise again and bring the campaign to a positive climax.
FYI, the man berated him for marrying an Arab, that is completely classless. That is not relevant to Weiner's marital issues.
Cant stand the man but why does it matter the guy was Jewish or that this happened near Rosh Hashanah?
ho hum.... Hes just another typical progressive communist democrat. nothing to see here, move along people....
Weiner is a real prick here. But so is the other dude. Remember that this started when that guy said ”You’re a real scumbag, Anthony. Married to an Arab.” http://swampland.time.com/2013/09/0...ny-weiner-campaign-is-complete/#ixzz2e2M6VQKZ
In all fairness, why start a fight with Weiner over his marriage to an Arab woman ? Sure, Weiner is a disgrace and should hide away in shame... but what have we really learned this week ? That it's OK for a Jewish bakery to run a person out of their business because his lifestyle is abhorrent to them.... but it's not OK for a Christian bakery owner to simply say "I'm sorry, but I can't make a wedding cake for lesbians because it is against my belief", without facing protests and threats until they close down. The tolerance of the Obama Nation.
Weiner is a jerk, but this Kessler guy sounds like one as well. Orthodox Jews are often like orthodox Christians and Muslims -- their fanaticism typically manifests as bigotry.
Lol... "attack", ffs. Holy oversensitive lunatic, Batman! Loudmouth Jews picked on a Jew's Arab wife.... and I'm the bad guy.
He needs to stiffen his resistance to challenges and not them penetrate his sensibilities. Pols have to ignore thrusts against their policies all the time.
Is that true? I thought he just married some arab chick that worked for Clinton. But even though I believe the deli owner should not have brought up Weiner being married to an arab; his point of Weiner being a pervert with no respect for the wife is true - if Weiner cannot even do what's right with regard to the woman he loves how can he do what's right for entire communities in NY? Clearly the guy doesn't have his eye on the ball. The other thing - a politician shouldn't go ape-sh*t on the voters in the community just because he doesn't agree with how they are heckling him. You would never see someone like Obama or Bush go ballistic like that. This guy Weiner is unstable.
He didn't. Watch the videos all over the news channels. The guy said if you are gonna be a total perv you should step out of the public eye and not run for office. And on that point I agree with him 100%. No different than Bubba Clinton playing slurp-n-burp with Monica in the Oval Office while he was supposed to be running the country. Many politicians today are abhorant pigs that by their own depravity are clearly not deserving of the public trust.
