The Jewish Case Against Joe Lieberman

Ben Shapiro makes the Jewish case against Joe's candidacy.

After Internet honcho Matt Drudge caught Lieberman eating and drinking on Tisha B'Av, an important Jewish fast day, Lieberman downgraded his level of Judaism from Orthodox to the vaguely ingenuous "Observant."

The second part of Lieberman's statement, that "like everything else in Judaism, ultimately, it's up to each of us to decide what we think is right," is even more abhorrent than Lieberman saying that on-demand abortion is permitted by the Torah. The point of the Torah is that man must follow God's law, not his own conscience. Judaism is not secular humanism.

It seems a few go to a greater extent in their opinions.
