Where's the outrage?
By Wally EdgeJust days before the May 13 municipal elections, Teaneck Councilwoman Monica Honis seems to be getting a pass from some leaders of the Jewish community, despite a controversial comment that week suggesting that re-electing her without also supporting her two running mates was akin to sending her “to the gas chamber.” Rebecca Kaplan Boronson, the editor of the New Jersey Jewish Standard, told PolitickerNJ.com that she had no comment on the controversy. Boronson wrote an editorial last month suggesting that a political cartoon may have intentionally sent a subliminal anti-Semitic message. Two others who criticized the cartoon, Rep. Steve Rothman and the New Jersey Anti-Defamation League, did not return calls seeking comment on Honis’ statement.

Why are there so many people dedicated to being offended? They are just "little people", with no self-worth attempting to find purpose in life by being offended. I grew up with "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never harm me." I suggest that they get a life!
