THIS WEEKS NORTH JERSEY JEWISH NEWS REPORTS ON THE DEATH OF SEN. KENNEDY.IT ALLEGES THAT IN MY BLOG I CALLED HIM AN "IDIOT"
"That view (high praise) wasn't shared by the far rightlike the OU former President who blogged on the eve of Kennedy's death"rarely in America has a more unworthy person been accorded such deep respect as is regularly heaped upon Kennedy.Ganchrow, a retired proctologist opposed Kennedy's health care proposals and said instead of being treated with expensive modalities the ailing idiot Senator from the Peoples Republic of Massachussets should go into Hospice,take an Asparin (sic) and say his daily prayers."
Firstly the paper combined two different blogs by 2 different persons. Had they read the blogs and not tried to play cutesy they would not have done what transpired.
On August 16, questioning the lack of response on the part of the Aministration re: questions raised as to how without additional doctors,additional funds and rationing of care, they could add 45 million new subscribers,I wrote that Senator Kennedy an aged person with a terminal disease,insists on receiving expensive modalities of treatment.He should , I said,be an example, go to a Hospice,take an Asparin (as previously advocated by the President to the 100 year old lady in need of a pacemaker) and say his prayers,.I CONCLUDED (NOT PART OF THE NEWSPAPERS QUOTE) THAT THIS APPROACH IS ON TAP FOR MERE MORTALS UNDER OBAMACARE. That of course was the point I was trying to make!
NOWHERE DID I CALL KENNEDY AN IDIOT.
NOWHERE DO THEY BRING PROOF THAT BECAUSE I AM A CONSERVATIVE, I AM PART OF THE FAR RIGHT
NOWHERE DO THEY BRING PROOF THAT I EVER COMMENTED ON KENNEDY'S HEALTH PLAN,PRO OR CON .
ON AUG 25, WHILE I WAS OUT OT THE COUNTRY(AS I NOTED ON THE BLOG) my son Elli wrote
Quoting Kennedy's first Senatorial opponent,that if his name was Edward Moore,(not Kennedy) his candidacy would be a joke.Then he went on to say that "rarely in America has a more un- worthy person been accorded such deep respect as is regularly heaped upon Kennedy....(see todays NYT interview of Norman Podhoretz on Kennedy).
Turning to the attempt by the Kennedys to change the succesion law,he wrote "In 2004 as John Kerry the other idiot masquerading as a US Senator from the Peoples Republic of Massachussets chased the Presidency,the Dems changed the State law........
Again he never called Kennedy an idiot.
The paper certainly owes me and the blog GANCHROWWORLDVIEW.BLOGSPOT.COM an apology for its sloppy approach in order to make headlines.

Extremism- Jewish style
The healthcare debate has become quite heated over the summer.However the self-apponted arbiters of Jewish extremism have raised the issue that when someone says "socialism," or "euthanasia" it is part of a right wing plot.
Says the Jewish Week story this week,"flash ther words euthanasia and Nazi and socialism"in front of them ( the r-wing) and it taps all this built-in anger.
It is outrageous to add a fewLaRouche supporters into the mix of the huge majority of those who oppose a public option, and claim that opponents are extremists or using the contoversy to advance r-wing causes..
In the whole story on the reform backlash in the JW,,there is no mention of budget deficits,and the rationing of medical care.
I have written twice that the witholding of medical care from seniors is a form of euthanasia.Indeed,the British press these last few days have highlited such activitity.
THE REMARKS BY SELF-APPOINTED LEADERS OF JEWISH OPINION
REPRESENT THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT STEMS FROM MOVE-ON.ORG AND LIBERAL GROUPS AS WELL AS DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
To oppose all or some of the President's plan is not immoral, radical or un-American.
Perhaps it is the attacks on the protesters that are immoral and un-American.

Ireland
I thank my son for blogging for me while we were in Ireland.The Jewish community in Ireland today measures 1200 individuals.The Orthodox synagogue in Dublin has 3 minyanim a day,and about 100 people came for Shabbat services.
The Rabbi is a young Chabad Rav,but the entire congregation is ashkenaz.At the kiddush asfter services I had an opportunity to speak with the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland.He is obviously on the liberal side of the political spectrum in Israel.
Unlike the 4% my son quoted as thinking Obama is pro-Israel,the Ambassador believes he is a friend.He notes that (he just returned from Israel) that the Mitchell-Bibi talks are going well,and the eventual resumption of talks with the PA are a good beginning.Whether this is his personal belief or the party line I do not know.
The weather was rainy each day,however the people are just about the warmest you could find.
For the first time ever we stayed in a B&B that was recommended by the Rabbi,near the shul.The owner serves a kosher breakfast,and has a constant flow of orthodox Jews from the states and Israel
