Tim Tebow and that Rabbi

Rabbi Hammarman's screed against Tim Tebow  (Earlier, TW published an excerpt from this rabbi's article here. That was the most incendiary part of the rabbi's column, but he added this:)
Tebow used to wear eye black citing Ephesians 2:8-10, which states, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith (in Jesus).” His avenue to salvation is not available to those Jews who wish to remain Jewish.
"Unlike some other blue-staters, I do not fear people of faith. I fear people of certainty. The worldwide struggle going on right now is not between good and evil, but between certainty and doubt."....
To which Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs responded:  "I haven't heard rubbish like this since Ed Asner got airtime on tv. This is the most arrogant tripe - and anti-Christian tripe - I have ever seen from an ordained rabbi. Hu strarich lehhitbayesh. That's Hebrew for "He needs to be ashamed of himself." A man loves Jesus and that automatically makes him want to banish immigrants and bash gays? And burn mosques? Where did this rabbi come up with this fevered swamp tripe? This column by the so-called rabbi is a hate crime in itself."

The Rabbi later apologized 
....I realize the way in which I attempted to make my points was clumsy and inappropriate, calling to mind the kind of intolerance and extremism my article was intended to disparage. I sincerely apologize to Mr. Tebow, his family, the Broncos and Patriots and all those whom I may have offended.”
The Rabbi's Twitter post:
"The Rabbi, as part of the J-Street Rabbinical council is part of the George Soros team, pulled the post off his personal blog and the Newspaper it was published in, the Jewish Week pulled it from their site."
  
Tebow post removed by Jewish Week

Blame the Jewish Week as well  "Hammerman could not have picked a more compatible location the Tebow hit piece, the Jewish Week run by Editor/Publisher Gary Rosenblatt has a history of pushing progressive themes and candidates, hit-jobs on political conservatives, and editorializing against people of faith (including Jews)."
 
From Atlas Shrugs: On the Unjewish Rabbi and the Left-Wing Jewish Newspaper that ran him  "I haven't had time to write on the "rabbi" who embarrassed all of us in a statement he made about the righteous Tim Tebow. It was so ugly on its face, I thought it a teachable moment, a stunning indictment of the Jewish left and the leftwing rag, The Jewish Week, that ran the "rabbi's" oped." Pamela Geller.
