Yesterday it was reported that an unusual type of bling was hanging around Sarah Palin's neck while she toured NYC sites: a Jewish Star of David.
Why? According to NBC New York, Palin said:
“Today is the 44th anniversary of Jerusalem being reunited ... We want to call attention to that.”
A devout Christian wearing a Jewish star to show solidarity with Israel? Sounds good to me. I'm not offended in the least. Just like a man wearing a pink breast cancer ribbon (yes, I know men can get breast cancer too, but just stay with me), or a straight person wearing something in solidarity with gays. Or like when all my liberal (and often Jewish!) Obama-worshipers inserted "Hussein" as their middle name on their Facebook profiles during the 2008 campaign (because for some reason Obama's critics were being offensive in calling to attention his middle name).
But that's not how the Palin-haters saw it. A contributor at the liberal Huffington Post calls it an insult.
It's actually not the first time Palin wore a Star of David. She did so at Passover time as well. Don't know why I missed it, but the Palin-hating liberati sure didn't: The always embarrassing and perpetually profane dim bulb Wonkette wondered, "Is she a Jew now or something?" And some woman named Malia Litman who runs a blog devoted to Palin-bashing insisted Sarah was "desecrating" the star by wearing it.
She also wore one while visiting Israel in March. At that time, a writer at a blog called Opposing Views surmises she's trying to spice up her foreign policy credentials. Um, okaaay.
These are your tolerant, open-minded, intelligent liberals on display, folks.
I love ya, Sarah Palin. You got class. Keep it up!
