Political Yarmulkes

Yesterday we ran an article from the Daily News featuring a Lubavitcher Chef, today the news ran another blurb featuring another Lubavitchers company called Vanity Kippah, owned by Shmuly Tennenhause, on one of its political blogs.

We don’t usually link to sites trying to sell things, but this one finds that among those willing to shell out $16 for a yarmulke, John McCain is leading Barack Obama.

Can kippah preferences predict the Jewish vote? Who knows, but the “McCippah” is leading the “Obamica” in sales by 56% to 44%, says the site proprietor, Shmuly Tennenhaus, who notes that a yarmulke is a rare thing around Seattle, where he lives.

    that is to say of course amongst religious Jews. secular Jews are by far liberals and democrats – not everyone but the vast majority

  • NO-BAMA!

    “is there a way to ban the obamica? its a disgrace to jews (and huamns) alike!”

    Do you like to ban everything you don’t agree with?

    Nobody is allowed to have their own opinion or something?

    Here is the difference between the two:

    Obama: I want to leave IRAQ as soon as
    possible and put the troops in Afghanistan where the real terrorist are.

    McCain: I want to stay in Iraq and
    send more troops there and to Afghanistan.

    Obama: I want the world to go to war with Radical Islam and we as a global community need to defeat today’s enemy which is Radical Islam. I believe Israel is a great country and needs to exist.

    Mccain: ……………………
    What do you hate so much about Obama?
    I know he doesn’t have much experience
    or anything but 1. HE ISN’T MUSLIM
    2. So what if he is black
    Even if Obama isn’t perfect he sure
    is hell is better than Bush the 3rd (Mccain).

    obama may not be an arab but he holds strong connections to arab world… so in any situation it is quite obvious that he will not defend the jews as much as Mccain would, even if he is old, he is a more suitable president for the jews part…………and just for the record, obama doesnt give a cent about israel which is why he wants to stop sending troops there , which will hurt the jews!!!!

    Barack HUSSEIN Obama folks. Obviously the man does not have Jewish roots and growing up either partly or fully Muslim, the man probably doesn’t like us. I am definitely buying a McCippah!

  • JoltinJoe75

    Yea, Barack doesn’t even gave plans while MCcain does. I’m getting myself a MCcippah even though the Obamica sounds cool in general…

    Isn’t a Jew wearing the Obama Yarmulke the same as wearing the Arafat scarf? I mean seriously people, Obama isn’t a friend of the Jews. If elected, he’ll sell out Israel so fast, because he doesn’t care if Hamas kills Israelis, he’s made that clear. Iran will be appeased, and that means no more Israel. Jews in America should be afraid of this man.
