See Joe Biden Make the ‘Sign of the Cross’ In Front of…1,600 Conservative Rabbis

See Joe Biden Make the Sign of the Cross In Front of Rabbis

Vice President Joe Biden is known for his verbal outbursts, inappropriate commentary and occasional factual flaps. Over the weekend, he referred to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney as “President Romney.” This, of course, is only the latest example that we’ve shared. As The Blaze’s Jon Seidl has noted, he’s made other epic gaffes herehere, and here.

Earlier today, Biden added yet another odd gesture — one that was likely intended to be a joke — to his arsenal of odd quips and gestures. Before addressing the annual convention of The Rabbinical Assembly, an international organization comprised 1,600 conservative rabbis, Biden made the “sign of the cross.”

As the individual introducing him spoke about the more than three decades Biden served in the U.S. Senate, the vice president, who was standing behind him, made the sign of the cross. The audience subsequently erupted with laughter, as Biden walked over to the man introducing him and said, “Thirty-six years…that’s a long time…I’m getting old.”

Considering that this gesture is Christian in nature — and in seeing that Biden was in front of a massive audience of Jewish faith leaders — it’s certainly a noteworthy occurrence. Now, either Biden considered the context and forged on or he made the hand motions without thinking. Either way, it’s entertaining to watch.

View the incident, below:

During his address, Biden defended Israel and claimed that the Obama administration is working feverishly to come up with mechanisms to contain Iran.

      @Culpergang, And just how many Jews do you know? Many American Jews are not Zionists, they don’t object to Israel, but they have no interest is being anything more than a tourist to Israel. Israel doesn’t define their faith or their lives or their loyalty. A lot of the people who “stand with Israel” the most, only do so because the Bible tells them (or at least they‘ve been told that’s what the Bible says) that Israel must exist for the Messiah to come back and rescue the good Christians from the Apocalypse. But those same people don’t really know any Jews and they fail to understand how Jews think (which usually scares Jews plenty, evoking as it does the history of their persecution).

      You may be unaware of the persecution by the Catholic church, of Jewry, for centuries. Pope Ratzinger, was a Nazi, during the 2nd world war. The Catholics are not alone in this as many PROTESTANT denominations are guilty of the same. This is the reason why, making the sign of the cross would be offensive to them, Capiche? Poor stumbling,bumbling fool Biden, of course , has NO CLUE! What a complete IDIOT!

      Do the so called “Palestinians” have the right to exist? First, you do not even know who they are. Second, can you please tell me where this word came from and who gave it to them? If not maybe you should do a little research. Arabs do have the right to exist, but the idea that there is a right for a place “Palestine” to exist is really a joke. You may not find it to be, but then again you do not even know who the true “Palestinians” are. What you are trying to compare is not in truth. The Arabs have plenty of lands to live in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt etc…. The Israelis “Jews” people just one, and do you know why they were given their land back? That’s right their land, which they have been in, in one shape or form thousands of years, before they the Jews were mocked and called “Palestinians”, by Hadrian after the second revolt against Rome in 135 ce. So you are right the real so called “Palestinians” do have to right to their land, and the right to exist. I just hope that the Arabs, and all the rest of the people that hated and killed six million plus during WW2, (this is why they were given their land back), and their supports that live today, that deal in lies, and propaganda will give the true “Palestinians” the Israeli people this right.

      To many Jews, the sign of the cross IS offensive. The Catholic church has a history of forcing conversions, a fact that is a sensitive area for those Jews whose ancestors came from Eastern Europe (Polish and Russian anti-Semitism is legendary and in pre-Revolution days, the Czar forced Jewish boys who were drafted into the army to convert or be jailed as traitors.) I’m sure the rabbis were gracious, but this is another Bidenism that qualifies him as a doofus on display.

      Yes, he did. He was making a pious gesture (”from you lips to God’s ear) understood by both Catholics and Jews. This Jewish audience knew he was Catholic, they also know that as a Catholic, he appreciates tradition, ritual, and liturgy, just like they do. I get on quite well with Jewish groups and many Rabbis that I have known have found kindred spirits with Catholic priests.

I’ve had some very, very interesting discussions with both Jews and Catholics, Rabbis and Priests. There is a great deal of common ground between the two groups, tradition, respect for ritual, liturgy and nuance of faith. If the Rabbis weren’t offended, why were you?

      @Godlovinmom, Joe Biden was saying a Rosary during the bin Laden raid. Once the SEALS were on the helocopters, he was going to put the ring-style Rosary away. Admiral Mike Mullen, also a Catholic, put his hand on his shoulder and told him to keep it up until they were landed on the ship. Mike Mullen also supports Gays. He was behind the withdrawl of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. I have it on good authority, that he used to invite the partners of Gay staffers to his home for parties and dinners with the same hospitality as he gave to straight couples.

Catholic and Jewish issues, living in a mixed marriage as I do, are one of them. My daughters are proud to be CAshEWS, but they attend Temple on Fridays with their father. I grew up on the West Coast, in small towns. I attend Mass each week. I have a Bachelors in History from a state college. I used to teach, and I spent ten years living on military bases in Asia. The love of my life is a nice Jewish boy, a bit of a nebbish even, my college sweetheart. Now, if you can show me where I have said something different, please, by all means post it.

      @Chazmo, Do you really think all your hateful sanctimony is going to do away with abortion? When I was in Junior High, I learned that the ancient Romans and Egyptians had laws against abortion, but they also had methods of inducing them. Women have been choosing abortions for as long as there have been women and pregnancies. Most women never have an abortion. Most women that I know, never really wanted one, but chose it as a last resort, the least bad of the choices at that time. I don’t know what is in their hearts; it isn’t my place to judge them. And the women that I know who made that choice, know they will have to answer for it sooner or later. I would never have an abortion, I raised two daughters and they would never have one, either. Catholicism and Judaism both place a great deal of emphasis on the formation and discernment of conscience and taking responsibility for the choices one makes in life.

They did not use reconcilliation to pass Obamacare, it passed on a straight vote. And if you find “Deem and Pass” so objectionable, why don’t you ask Mitch McConnell and John Boehner why the Republicans used it so often? Same thing with the Senate Filbuster. I was on The Hill the day before Obamacare passed. I saw and heard some really ugly stuff coming from TeaCons. I talked to staffers. I heard about how rude and nasty these upstanding, patriotic, Christians were being. There is a YouTube video where a Congressman wipes his cheek and walks away.

      When Obama signed the bill into law he crowed about it coming in under $1trillion per the CBO. And only recently the CBO released a revised report saying it will now cost $1.76 trillion. In roughly two years the costs have nearly doubled…and the “treats” haven’t even kicked in yet.
      How about this one? Obamacare penalizes physician owned hospitals if they expand or build new locations. Why TOKYROSE?

      @hayesstephen, Sorry to disappoint you, I’m not lonely, I’m not miserable, I’m not hate-filled, but I do plead guilty to being an overweight, middle-aged woman. I suppose that makes me a crone. But you might want to check out what that word really means. In many stories, a crone is a wise and sometimes magical woman. I don‘t think that’s so bad. Helen Hayes and Ruth Gordon were heroines of mine at a very young age.

      @Avengerk, Here is what the CBO said about Obamacare in March: “CBO and JCT now estimate that the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of just under $1.1 trillion over the 2012–2021 period—about $50 billion less than the agencies’ March 2011 estimate for that 10-year period” Here is the link to the report:

      @Avengerk “no one spat on any of the race hustlers on the way to vote for Obamacare as they tried to accuse the tea parties of. To the point of getting the police involved. If the evidence was credible you’d be all over it by now” I didn’t say there was legal evidence of the Congressman being spat upon, merely that he wiped his cheek. You called veteran, serving Members of the House “race hucksters”, but claim there were no taunts. I was there to hear some of the ugliness. I never heard anyone taunting Blacs. I saw a “Barney Frank is a ***” poster with my own eyes. At around 5:00 on March 20, 2010, about 10,000 people stood under the Speaker’s office window and chanted “NAN-SEE! COME OUT AND PLAY-AY” for at least ten minutes. I was there. I can also tell you that Democratic staffers hugged me and shook my hand when I said that I came out to support Obamacare (based on Republican proposed plans in the 1990s.)

      I said you used ugly words to describe me and others. You use words like “flaccid” “cur” and “idiot‘ but those words aren’t ugly in your mind. Okay. Someone is twisting and distorting here, but it isn’t me. I think I told you this before, you don’t hurt my feelings.

    “Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of “terrorism” that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detection of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode “constitutional and statutory due process protections” and would “authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.”

Most Catholics who know me, think I’m a good Catholic, and most Jews who know me, know that I am a sincere student. Most modern day Jews wouldn’t relate to the Sanhedrin, they certainly wouldn’t be bringing it up in a debate of modern American politics.
