Got a letter to the editor published in the Record on how dishonest a headline was.

Got letter to the editor published in the Record(it use to be call the Bergen Record)on dishonest headline.On May 19 2004 the Record front page head was Christie courts Jewish donors.Not only was dishonest but offensive,in my letter they(the Record)left out two point made:one the headline had smell of nineteen thirties Berlin and if politicians spoke in front of Civil Right group they would never say that so and so pandered for Black vote.
I happen to be at the Champions of Jewish Values International awards gala and Christe was far from pandering to Jews unlike Rick Perry who also spoke there.
Now this is what in response to headline,but remember paper didn't published my point about smelling like Belrin or how wouldn't say same thing about politicans appear front of Civil Rights group.But these are words of my the paper did publish:"Your headline was in poor taste and untrue.I was at the Champions of Jewish Values International Awards Gala,and Governor Christie-surprisingly,in my mind-gave a most eloquent and lofty speech about American exceptionalism.
Unlike Texas Gov. Rick Perry,Christe didn't play to the crowd;indeed,he was reaching for something of higher value.Hence Christe looked very presidential.
A headline saying that"Perry courts Jewish donors" might have been appropiate.For Perry is very much the type of politician who knows what buttons to push to please the crowd.For example, unlike Christe Perry kept on bringing up Israel,and the crowd was eating out of his hand.I had the feeling that Perry was pitching for a donation from Sheldon Adelson,but that wasn't the case with Governor Christe.I think The Record owes Christie and the Jewish comunity an apology."
