In fact, Mr. Levin is not, strictly speaking, a Hasid, though he wears the familiar black hat and coat of those who are. “I’m the next closest thing to Hasidic,” Mr. Levin said, “an amalgam of right-wing yeshivish and Hasidic.”

What Mr. Levin did have was a pure devotion to conservative politics unmatched by more prominent Orthodox rabbis, many of whom preach traditional values in shul but are highly pragmatic when it comes to picking politicians to endorse, backing winners and those most likely to deliver resources to their communities.

Carl Paladino may not have many people sticking up for him after his anti-gay remarks before a group of Orthodox Jews on Sunday, but he has at least one supporter: Ann Coulter.

Speaking to Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Monday, Coulter said she felt the need to come to the Republican's defense after it seemed everyone else had stopped backing him.

"I think someone on this network should ," she said, calling Paladino a "great warrior" who wants to lower taxes.

Asked about the specifics of the speech — in which Paladino warned against letting children be "brainwashed" into thinking homosexuality is an "equally valid or successful option" — Coulter said the candidate was just giving his socially conservative audience the red meat it wanted.

"He's speaking to Hasidim...it's like going to Chicago. You say, 'Go Cubs,'" she said.

I was just joking. I really don't believe in that.

However, these people are happy to redistribute their wealth:
