Anyone notice how Dov Hikind totally turned his back on his long-time friend Simcha Felder? What’s the deal with that?
And no less, Hikind is endorsing an African-American over another Yid?!
Could be that Hikind (who by the way considers himself the present day “savior” of the Jewish nation) feels that if Felder wins the Senate seat, he will be more powerful then himself.
Your thoughts?

Folks, am I reading correctly? You are the first to comment on any story with the most ridiculous postings on YWN history.
And you have the gall to say “MYOB”?
What a hypocrite.

Loshon hora lemonade…
Are you trying to be Hillel and bring about Shalom (not to c’v impugn there is any lack of shalom)? If so Hatzlocho Raba. But the tone of the first post CLEARLY is anything but. So MYOB.

September 8, 2008 1:29 pm at 1:29 pm #621691ZalmanParticipantThe Baalei Loshon Hora are expert on “matiring” loshon hora. When someone starts telling you what a “mitzvah” it is to talk about someone or some machlokes, you know to run.

Baruch Hashem a decent fellow like Noach Dear got out of the politics garbage and is now a judge.
Hikind has long ago left for the green and Felder is for the birds…er…pidgins.
