Ami Magazine Names Rubashkin Attorney "Person of the Year"

Despite (or perhaps because of) Nathan Lewin's misrepresentataions and untruths in defense of Sholom Rubashkin and Agriprocessors, the sleazy haredi Ami Magazine has named him "Person of the Year."

Nathan Lewin

Ami Magazine writes in an email:

On Monday, October 1, the first day of Sukkos, the worldwide Jewish community received distressing news. The United States Supreme Court formally declined to review the 27-year prison term given to Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, the former Agriprocessors vice president who was convicted of financial fraud after a huge immigration raid in 2008 at his Iowa meatpacking plant.

Without comment, the Supreme Court justices declined to consider an appeal filed by Sholom Rubashkin as they opened their new term. The decision lets stand his conviction on 86 counts of financial misconduct and a prison term that could keep the 52-year-old chasidic man locked up for the rest of his life.

And therefore, Ami has decided to name Agriprocessors and Rubashkin's long time attorney, Nathan Lewin, as its "Person of Year," despite the fact that many of the facts Lewin spouts in Rubashkin's favor are misrepresented or false, and despite the fact that Lewin's belligerent attitude before that immigration raid helped spark PETA's undercover work at Agriprocessors and the ire of thousands of Jews, environmentalists and animal welfare activists worldwide.

You have to understand, raising money is less effort if they keep SMR exposed at all times. Guaranteed, they bought the man of the year, just like any advertisement, front page must of cost a bundle! Just like any dinner, you pay for the honor.

I love the spin, "Without comment, the Supreme Court justices declined to consider an appeal..."

Makes it sound as though this case was singled out from all the others. Like all the others had comments as to why they were declined.

Such spin. It is because of magazines such as AMI and Mishpacha that continue to provide the spiked cool-aid that the Frum world needs to legitimize their actions. Very sad indeed.

Time named Hitler "Man of the Year" once also.

I like how they use the politically correct "Person of the year" when it will only be men who are 'zoche' to this prestigious honor.

Frankly its time to get the whole slimey bunch of chabad ex communicated for being unprincipled drunken louts . australia south africa india the u s a , u k all secular jew allow these chabad groups to keep on expanding.Actually most non jews barely give a thought to these perverted jews,except for the negativity they bring to all but their own bunch of interbreeders.

Ami is a haredi propaganda rag in modern-style layout that excludes women from photographs.

Amazing how the Orthodox frame liars cheats and thieves as persons of the year. Yasher Koach.

[Sarek]

I guess I don't know Hebrew. Does "Person of the year" translate to "Scumbag of the year"?

Hey Jewish David Duke:

Nat Lewin is your mirror opposite. So I think he was a good choice. Happy hating.

Another Jewish Scumbag
