Why Do Jews Hate Sarah Palin?

I don’t think they do. Liberal Jews like liberal non-Jews hate Sarah Palin.

Politically conservative Jews, like conservative non-Jews, like Sarah Palin.

Charles emails: “Us liberal Jews (including us chareidi liberal Jews) dislike Sara Palin not because she is an idiot right wing nut job. We dislike her because she is an idiot right wing nut job that is taken seriously by a significant minority. It is the significant minority that concerns us, and she stands for them. Not trivial. Crazy right wingers historically are the most rabid anti-Semites. There is a temporary alignment on Israel policy with Jews that serves an evangelical agenda that is not as deeply rooted as the doctrine and cultural memory of hatred for Jews and other “Others.” Mainly Jews. This is the Pat Buchanan pitchfork crowd. Beware of strangers bearing gifts.”

Gawker reports:

In Commentary, Jennifer Rubin attempted to explain why The Jews hate Sarah Palin. (Because they hate Real Americans, is basically her answer.) David Frum rebuts: she is just scary to everyone! Both leave out one hugely important detail.

Rubin’s argument (found in its entirety here) is basically that American Jews dislike Palin because of all of her bullshit rural working-class signifiers: large family, no formal education, folksy, hunting, etc. Jews, per Rubin, hate that stuff. Jews would not dream of being waitresses(!?). Also Jews love aborting retarded babies.
