    (Text From Carl In Jerusalem)

    Last night and Today are Tisha b’Av, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar.

    Five tragedies befell the Jewish people on Tisha b’Av in ancient times, the two most important of which were the destruction of the two Holy Temples:

    - It was decreed that the generation which left Egypt would remain in the desert for 40 years and not enter the land of Israel, after believing the inaccurate report of 10 of the 12 spies in the year 2449 (the current Jewish year is 5769).

    - The first Bet Hamikdash (Holy Temple) was destroyed on 9 B’Av in the year 3339.

    - The second Bet Hamikdash (Holy Temple) was destroyed on 9 B’Av about 1948 years ago.

    - The city of Betar was captured and tens of thousands of Jews were killed in the year 3893.

    - The wicked Turnus Rufus plowed the site of the Bet Hamikdash and its surroundings and renamed it Aelia Capitolina, also in the year 3893.

    Since these tragedies occurred on 9 B’Av, it was decreed as a day of fasting and mourning.

    Other tragedies that happened on 9 b’Av include:

    - 4,000 Jews were expelled from England by King Edward I in the year 5050 (18 July 1290)

    - 300,000 Jews were expelled from Spain by Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon in the year 5252 (2 August 1492)

    - Word War 1 started in 5674 – 1 August 1914 – with Germany declaring war on Russia

    You can find out more about Tisha b’Av, including online audio and visual programs and a live webcast, here.

    Just coincidences? I think not!

    re: #2 by vagabond trader

    Wow, that is really worse than I was expecting.

    Rosanne Bar has a radio show on KPFK (Pacifica Radio Los Angeles) and often spouts off about how she is a Jew, then follows it up with how disgusted she is by the Jews, and how they run the Government, are all evil Zionists, and kill Arabs babies for sport. She qualifies her blatent Anti-Semitism by stating that she is a “Jew” and thus can say these things. Wrong!

    She is a disgusting human being who really should be taken out of society.

    Heeb is right at home with Rosanne. Their idea of satire, and humor is exactly what you posted to. This is not the first time they have been openly Anti-Semitic, and I fear it won’t be the last.

    My significant other lost an entire family but for a father to Hitler. My brother’s wife’s family were in Auschwitz. This crap just isn’t funny!

    Wrath,

    “My significant other lost an entire family but for a father to Hitler. My brother’s wife’s family were in Auschwitz. This crap just isn’t funny!”

    It ain’t funny to anyone who realizes the destruction he caused worldwide.

    By significant other, you mean the Queen, right?

    re: #5 by WrathofG-d

    If she is jewish, then The Jews must secretly run the world as she says they do…. how else could she still have a career.

    Her ‘best moment’ was the show Rosanne, where she more or less played herself.

    John Goodman at least had some form of a career.

    She’s really not that entertaining and, as with all ’shock jocks’ has to continually push the envelope into the disgusting in order to make news to fill her ego-centric desires.

    re: #10 by LanceKates

    Yes, Rosanne is disgusting. Like most “Jews” of her stripe she is more leftist/liberal than anything Jewish. She is just a kook. You should really hear her Radio program on Pacifica Radio.

    and just for fun, let’s play LGF logic games.

    Rosanne Bar (an Anti-Semite) is on Pacifica Radio, Kathryn Joyce is on Pacifica Radio, LGF promotes Kathryn Joyce = LGF is Anti-Semitic (or Roasanne Bar)
    ;) :P

    re: #11 by WrathofG-d

    was she born jewish?

    reminds me of a seinfeld joke, talking about a dentist who converted so it was ok to tell jewish jokes without calls of bigotry… “he just converted for the jokes!”


  13. 13 | July 30, 2009 2:01 pm

    re: #12 by LanceKates

    From Wiki, so take it for what it is:

    Early life

    The eldest of 4 children, she was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to a working-class Jewish family…Barr’s grandparents and great-grandparents were immigrants from Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania and Austria-Hungary…Barr’s parents kept their Jewish heritage secret from their neighbors and, thus, were partially involved in The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Barr has stated that “Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning I was a Jew; Sunday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday afternoon we were Mormons;”

    Barr married Bill Pentland, on February 4, 1974.

    Bill Pentland was the first husband of comedian, actress and writer Roseanne Barr. He met Roseanne after she dropped out of school and was living on a commune in Colorado.

    I’m on a new topic here; I’ve got a message for no2liberals: Cubs are kicking ‘Stro butt! They lead 12-3 in the eighth right now, following up their 12-0 shutout of the ‘Stros yesterday.

    ‘Stros came out there and split a series with the Dodgers, right after the All-Star break.

    Breaking news.

    Today the Obummer admin proposed that On-Star which is owned by the new Government Motors handover all vehicle records to the department of transportation. These records include, total mileage driven, top speed, engine hours, your current location, amount of gasoline used, current MPG, oil usage, etc…..

    Owners will be charged an additional tax based upon miles driven, gasoline used, oil usage, and speeding tickets will be issued for anyone found driving over the posted speed limit plus they will be charged an additional speeding tax.

    This is all done in an effort to curtail Gorebal Warming and to save the environment. Besides the lives that will be saved.

    Henh.
    He will probably tell On-Star to just turn off all the GM cars with it, and force them to bring them in for new ones.
    But don’t count on the “clunker” program, it is being canceled as of midnight tonight, eastern time.
    BTW, not one dealership has received one penny from the gubmint on all the car deals made under this program, at this time.

    No kidding.

    Ironically, this week the TV here in LA all the auto dealers have been pushing the “cash fo clunkers”.

    And although I was being sarcastic in my On-Star deal, I cant help but wonder how much of that info the Government now has on GM owners?

    They’ve been running those same ads here, constantly.
    As for the gubmint having that data, I doubt it, but one never knows.
    The average family car averages 12 to 15,000 miles a year. It would be a fools errand to go through each and every cars info.
    /which is probably why this administration would do it

    re: #36 by no2liberals

    I could see there being a mileage limit of say 10,000 or so miles with an extra tax when you go above and beyond that.

    Maybe a new job creation program would be created for this daunting task.
