Temple Israel cancels Wasserman Schultz speech
Politics, both internal and international, fueled the dispute over her invitation to speak in the historic sanctuary.

WASHINGTON -- Miami's Temple Israel on Thursday canceled a program featuring Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after a high-profile Republican donor quit the congregation to protest the top Democratic congresswoman's speech.
Stanley Tate, a well-known philanthropist and prominent Republican who started Florida's pre-paid college tuition program, resigned from the temple after he learned Wasserman Schultz would be talking about Israel following services on Friday night, and that he wouldn't get an opportunity for rebuttal.

7. More Specific...Racist, Rich Likudnik Jews...
He's in the same camp as Adelman and a bunch of rich right wing Jews who've long been rushpublicans. Their two main causes are unconditional support of Israel (including American military support of an Israeli attack of Iran...or American doing the dirty work) and protection of their wealth (tax cuts and cuts to captial gains). Add to that a lifelong racism that does exist within some in the Jewish community (primarily elderly) who can't stand having a "schvartze" in the White House. I'd say its less than 16% but they are a vocal minority within the Jewish community. They use their money to influence and intimidate and here's another prime example...
Let's translate...
The people who support Venezuela and Cuba over communism over the US are upset because a Jew supports a nation of fellow Jew that has been and is targeted for genocide.
Elderly Jews, the ones who survived the death camps or had family who did/didn't, are the worst offenders.
Oh yeah, and Jews are greedy...even those philanthropic ones.

6. So if Tate can't dominate the discussion/conversation
at this event, like Repubs do on the media and all around the rest of the US, he's going to whine, pitch a hissy, take his marbles and go home.
Typical narcissistic Republican. And I daresay that's redundant. Pfft.
There ought to be some venues where a Democrat can speak without being followed by or drowned out by a drooling, mentally unstable, screeching ape Republican. Unfortunately, there are few and the fact that people kowtow to the likes of this imbecile Tate is one reason why.
"Dominate the discussion"? The article says he resigned only after he was denied the opportunity to respond to Dummie Wasserhername Schitz.
Oh, and apparently Jewish republicans are apes.
