MR Interviewed By Jewish Journal's God Blog

Mistakes

Over at the LA Jewish Journal - an outlet that has already demonstrated poor judgment by publishing an article of mine - Brad Greenberg produces a little something called The God Blog. On The God Blog you can find everything from posts on military chaplains to pictures of Dov Charney in pink underwear. And that's just this morning. You can also find an email interview that Brad just completed with me as part of a three-part series of post-election interviews with Jews of various political stripes. Apparently I was a little, how you say, loquacious:

It’s fitting that Omri Ceren is just a dissertation away from having a doctorate in communication. The author of Mere Rhetoric — a blog popular with Republican Jews that deals mainly with American foreign policy, Israel and anti-Semitism in the Muslim world — Ceren is a man of many words. Throughout the campaign Ceren blogged with concern about the prospect of Barack Obama winning, and as Obama earned a seemingly insurmountable lead during the final weeks of October, Ceren became a bit more of a prophet of doom then usual.

I wanted to begin my first answer with "the fundamental lesson of this election... is that American Jews are too stupid to realize that they're not supposed to be voting Democratic any more." After an epic throwdown at MR HQ I finally changed it to "... are voting Democratic for reasons other than sound argument and good policy." But the rest of the answers - which are probably a little more extensive than strictly called for in an informal interview - proceed pretty much how you'd expect. There's a section on the Democratic Party's anti-Semitism that I think reads particularly well. Or is obnoxiously indulgent. Definitely one of the two.
