New York- Anthony Weiner has drawn the ire of Jewish leaders after comparing New York’s “Stop-and-frisk” policy to Nazi Germany at a campaign event on Sunday.

The NEW YORK POST (http://bit.ly/12xh9QN) reports that, while speaking before a predominantly black audience at the First Central Baptist Church in Staten Island, Weiner heavily criticized Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk, telling the audience that the “vast majority” of people stopped in the city last year were “young men of color” who had done “nothing wrong.”
Weiner then turned up the heat when he said, “And the mayor stood up and said. ‘Wait a minute, statistically this’ and ‘statistically that.’ Well you can have 100 percent statistical reduction in crime if you stop everybody. You could have 1938 Germany, because everyone has to show their papers.”
State Senator Simcha Felder blasted Weiner, saying, “His comments were shocking and disgraceful…he should apologize. Anyone who uses the Holocaust frivolously diminishes the tragedy that occurred. He clearly stepped over the line.”
Weiner’s campaign went into quick damage control on Monday in an attempt to clarify his comments, saying, “The context of the reference was the argument made by some that stopping innocent citizens was an acceptable cost for public safety. He clearly was not equating 1938 Nazi Germany to New York City.”
he makes a valid point if you can stop and frisk anybody then it’s no difference
from 1938 Germany where everybody had to show papers he didn’t call anybody Nazi
also if anybody is a disgrace its Bloomberg puppet Simcha Felder
While I am perfectly OK with the current use of Stop-and-Frisk, I dont know why the headline had to be written in such a misleading way or why SImcha Felder had to attack Weiner. He obviously was not comparing Nazi Germany to NYC of today. He was just pointing out (using the reductio ad absurdum method) that the stats Bloomberg quotes are meaningless, as by his logic we may as well just stop-and-frisk the entire population and then certainly crime will drop dramatically. A little honesty and intellectual integrity, people.
Don’t blame Weiner for pandering to other groups as well as us. When he addresses Jews he throws in a few Yiddish words and speaks about bris milah, although he own children won’t be circumcised until they are 12 years old.
He’s just saying what people want to hear so that he can be our next Mayor, a job that he’s morally unqualified to hold.
HE’S FINISHED. After marrying an Arab and such comments hurting the Jewish Holocaust survivors, nobody’s gonna vote for him
Don’t worry, mister Weiner. Lib-tard democrat self-hating Yidden of NYC will rescue you from the consequences of your your transgression of Devarim 7:3, your Hillary-esque venality, your Bill Clinton-esque impulse control and depravity, your shamelessness, and your monstrous ego.
