What Jewish problem?

"Judge me by what I say and what I've done. Don't judge me because I've got a funny name. Don't judge me because I'm African-American and people are concerned about memories of the past," he said. Story here.

Comments

"Shirley Kann, a retiree from Boynton Beach, said Obama has a lot of work to do to build support among Jewish voters. She said she knows people who believe Internet gossip about him and who hesitate to vote for a black man. She doubted that he can win them over"

This is a very sad statement. With all the suffering pain and racism those of the Jewish faith have and still do experience..it is sad to learn that it is so easy for a member of that faith to practive racism against another minority simply based on skin color. In doing so, it gives credibility to others that practice this same hate and racism against jews. This is the same hate that grew in the 1930's. This is indeed one of the saddest statements yet in this campaign. I hope that many of good people of the Jewish community will help those that express this view to overcome it. This leads to the worst of all evils.

COUNT on the piglicans to do EVERYTHING to spread HATRED and BIGOTRY like cheap fertilizer for the next six months!!

it is the ONLY THING those contembtible betrayers of democracy and the consitution can do!!

IT'S SIMPLY THEIR NATURE!!!!

10:15 You are exactly right. People still want to trust elected officials, and the GOP is betraying our voters with a campaign of lies. It is not only Jewish people who are in danger of believing their political spin. Based the results of 8 years of Republican failure, no honest and informed person should vote GOP in 2008. The GOP almost without exception are "win at all cost" traitors to the spirit of American government.

I am a Jewish voter and I am damn proud to have voted for Barack in the primary and will be honored to both vote for him in November and be in Washington, DC, for his inauguration!

Mazel tov, Barack!

I am judging him by his words and actions.

He sat for over 20 years under a Pastor who equated Zionism with racism and has compared Israel to South Africa under apartheid.

He calls Rev. Wright his spiritual mentor who has guided him in his beliefs - Rev. Wright says about the Jews, “Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET. Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan now is running the record industry, movie industry, and television. And they make us look like we’re the murderers; we look like we’re the gangsters, but we’re punk stuff.”

I don't know about you, but if my Rabbi spoke such about Blacks or Christians or anyone else, he sure as heck wouldn't be MY Rabbi for 20 years - he sure wouldn't be my spiritual mentor - and I sure as heck wouldn't let my kids sit and listen to his sermons!!!!!!!

Yep, I'm judging Obama by HIS words and HIS actions - and they concern me greatly!!!!!

[Donald Lance]

Ok! I'll judge Barry by what he has done. The most liberal voting candidate in the Senate. That's all I need to know about him. Anything else is meaningless, and that's coming from him.

Does anyone think its hilarious that "Baruikn" is spelled similarly than "Barak"

Indeed.

its just so comical. The funniest part is that he has convinced so many people that things will be different when he wins. He is not going to be any different than ANY other president. Small changes, but mostly just getting along.

Baruikn in 2008!!

10:56 Nothing but pure spin. Give it a rest. Or give equal time to McCain's pastor John Hagee. Oops I forgot, he's in the GOP "No Spin Zone." Better yet, just shut up.

[Andres]

Hey those of you voting for McCain... What about pastor Hagee and Falwell!? Or are they off limits because he is part of the GOP? And if he is a typical politician than why is he drawing crowds of 75,000 people? He gets the majority of the educated vote... so it is not like these people are dumb. Vote Smart. Vote Obama!

Latino Vets for Obama!

11:04 I think Obama will restore honesty and integrity to the WH. However, he's going to have a tough job undoing all the evil that the previous administration has done. Plus, they have done their best to make sure that change will be very hard to implement. On the other hand, the alternative is to give in and elect McCain, who once promised change, but has recently sold out to the ultra conservatives in exchange for their support. In other words, more of the same. The choice should be clear to all who want the best for our nation.

[Concerned Jew]

Barack Hussen Obama will not win over the Jewish vote. Actions speak louder than words...and all Mr. Obama has given the Jewish community is his word.

He will not fufill our moral obligation to protect Israel. He will appease any enemy of the United States. His weakness on middle east policy is evident in all his speeches...God help us all if this man is elected.

******You mean Barack Hussein Obama

11:18 = paid troll

[John McCain will win BIG in Nov.]

Hey 11:16,

If you actually read the news before you blog....McCain denounced Hagee's endorsement yesterday.

11:23 Good point. So shut up about Jeremiah Wright also, twit.

11:22 = paid troll

Falwell is dead.
McCain as reputated Hagee.
Hagee has apologized and asked forgiveness for his words.

Now, how about Rev. Wight? Has he apologized? Has he asked for forgiveness? - Nope!

I think the Jewish community should have reservations about Senator Obama...they have every reason to question his loyalty....and this is not based on race!

He is weak on defense. End of story.

It took McCain 3 months to denounce Hagee.

It took Obama 20 years to denounce Rev. Wright..or did he?

Hmmmmmmm

[Gene Smith]

If all you neocons have to talk about is Rev. Wright, I'm feeling retty good about Obama's chances for getting elected. Voters care a heck of a lot more about the economy, high gas prices, health care and the war in Iraq than they do about that. But you guys can't talk about that because the majority of the country is not with you on these issues.

So go ahead, chatter away, by all means.

mcAiNUS actively SOUGHT OUT hagee and gave him some of that repiglican man-love to get the endorsement, while anyone with a brain and the barest piece of christian knowledge knows exactly what that lyingignorant fool "preaches":

WORLD WAR!!

'cause thats what GA-WWWWD says in the bible...while in reality scriptures DONT SAY ANYTHING like that!!

all those milennialists -- or whatever they are called -- are seriouly deluded, to the point of irrationality!!

they stand SO FAR OUT of the realm of traditional, historic christianity, that they may as well have formed their own cult, just like the "left behinders" and other related jackasses!!

you wanna trust THEM??!!??

and lets not forget the new asshat mcAiNUS had to repudiate yesterday!!!

and exactly how does an "episcopalian" find himself in a "southern bap'ist" church?

thats about as serious a spiritual DISCONNECT as i can imagine.

one expects you to ACTUALLY THINK for youself with the brain god gave you, while the other expects you to SLOP UP WHATEVER GARBAGE they serve you that day!!

AND BELIEVE IT!!

how does that work??!!??

[Donald Lance]

It's Barry's foreign policy that will be his poison pill come election day not his anti-semite pastor. But you can judge a man's character by the people he surrounds himself with. A race-spewing pastor, a radical bomber, a swindler, a hate filled wife, Barack's cousin, Rail Odinga, is really tight with Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, who just so happens to be chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya. Recently, there was a bloody conflict in Kenya. It seems that our own presidential hopeful might have sided with opposition leader Odinga, who is head of the same tribe to which Obama's biological Muslim father once belonged. Roy Obama, Barack's older brother, is a Maxist Luo activist. He reportedly has made a deal with an Islamic group in Kenya to try to establish Sharia law.

There are some in the mainstream media who are beginning to find ties between Obama and radical Islamic movements in Kenya. Kenya had a National Election on Dec. 27, 2007. People were hacked to death, and it is rumored that some of Barack Obama's relatives were involved in the killings.

Why isn't the media doing some actual investigative work in this area? Why are there no Congressional hearings about these accusations? Why should Americans be led to dismiss such disturbing information?

Donald Lance, you have just shed all pretense of credibility and are hereby demoted from "Policy Expert" to "Kool-Aid Tester."

[Donald Lance]

Prove me wrong, Jr. label maker!

Prove you're right, Jr Libel Maker.

[Donald Lance]

12:11, are you Pee Wee Herman?

Dang, that was COLD!

[Dres]

Obama has denounced his pastor and gave a 40 minute speech on race and apologized emphatically for his comments. Nobody against Obama wants to talk about the issues. They don't want to talk about our embarrassing health care crisis, the failing economy, the poor judgment of going to Iraq. Republicans have fooled Florida for 8 long years.... We will rise up against the cynics and say WE WANT CHANGE! YES WE CAN HEAL THIS NATION!

Obama '08

"There are some in the mainstream media who are beginning to find ties between Obama and radical Islamic movements in Kenya. Kenya had a National Election on Dec. 27, 2007. People were hacked to death, and it is rumored that some of Barack Obama's relatives were involved in the killing"

Your right! One of his worst cousins helped lead a great nation into war with fear mongering, lies and deceit!
SCREW DICK CHANEY! We want a change in politics.

a brief 'google' reveals that those above "facts" cited by 11.46 are derived from some bat-krap krazy on-line rag "published" by folks who appear to be similiarly convinced there are thousands upon thousands of commonist chinese troops in powder-blue uniforms massed just across the rio gande, perparing to invade the u.s.a. ,

unless, of course, the flouride the commonists placed in our water system during the appeasement phase of the cold war weakens our will to survive first.

but then, the thousands of heavily-armed sandinistas but a day's march away from our southern border might do the job before either of the first two.

unless, honest!!, mole-men emerge from the caves drilled into the earth eons ago by the mole-men's ancestors from the planet 'gooblick', during the seventh age of the archon dynasty, to vanquish us...

or..............

tin-foil hats, anyone??!!??

Dres----How much does the Obama campaign pay you to Troll? Are you the one who posts supporting Obama for pay but is going to vote for McCain?

[One America]

NO MORE BUSH POLITIC OF SCARING THE PUBLIC... I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN DECENT AND "OUR" STRUGGLE HAS BEEN THE SAME AS THE JEWISH STRUGGLE... IT IS TIME TO UNITE AMERICA... AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT MOVE BACK TO EUROPE, AFRICA OR WHERE EVER FITS....

OBAMA 08.....

"How much does the Obama campaign pay you to Troll? Are you the one who posts supporting Obama for pay but is going to vote for McCain?"

Get an education, learn a trait, stop wasting your breathe on a ridiculous argument. I would never vote for McCain. Why is it that it seems that every day McCain is firing a new lobbyist from his campaign? Seems like you want a White House run by money and special interest versus a White house run by the people lead by the smartest man running for office.

The Auburn journal is bat-krap crazy on-line rag? Here's more about his cousin: Raila Odinga who speaks frequently to his cousin Barack Hussein Obama, vowed, if elected as Kenya's President, to change the Constitution into a Tailiban example of Islamic Law (Saria Law).

RAILA'S CAMPAIGN SLOGAN: "CHANGE"!!!!!!

So the Jewish people of this state want to vote for somebody with these connections?

12:28 Don't tell me - has "Donald Lance - Kool Aid Tester" once again directed us to the Branch Davidian er...Libertarian web site with the tanks marching across the top of the page? He did that once before when he was posting as "Jon Donson."

The Auburn journal is bat-krap crazy on-line rag?

Alabama... mmm i dont think their is any racism there... sounds like there is objective journalism there LOL riiiiight. Why isnt a reputable newspaper writing about something so insignificant? Oh wait. it is insignificant.

Donald, I suggest you take your meds. That "Hussein" stuff is the mark of a desperate and unprincipled person.

[Donald Lance]

Jr. Label Maker, go get educated because I've never read one intelligent comment from you. You just keep walking toward the altar, because it is sects who drink kool-aid and you are part of that Barry Sect. Pick up a book without pictures and read!

I have a bachelor's degree buddy. You have yet to argue the issues with me. That tells me A you know nothing about politics (most likely true), B you have nothing to argue against reforming our health care system, ending this war, fixing our economy, C you are an uneducated racist from po-dunk florida, or D ALL of the above.

I say D all of the above.

I know you are but what am I...

What a bunch of dopes.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[Donald Lance]

Jr. label maker, the topic is on the Jewish people of Fl trusting Barry. It's so easy to find stories as well as reports on Barry's background. Do you think I'm going to find that on the Huffington Post?
If you have a Bachelor's degree, why haven't I read ONE thought provoking comment from you-ever? All you do is cut and paste (see kindergarten education) then slant it. Thus your new moniker! Wear it well!

The best quote from Obama's trip to Florida in the International Herald, "Obama's Dad was muslim before he was Aetheist, and you just can't take that out of him."

OOO so scary Hussein is his middle name! I can vote for him cause his middle name is Hussein! AHHH please help I know not to judge people by there content of their character but by their name! How dumb can you be.

when barak was laffed at for his remarks about bitter people, religion and guns folks kinda missed his point, snickering over all their punchlines, didnt they?

today, somone has provided the perfect example, thank you!!!!

there are folks out here who are in deep distress!

today's world, for better or for worse, is not the world they imaged or conceived.

it is difficult, complex; demanding real thought not simply visceral reactions based on prejudice and fear.

"SOMEONE" IS TO BLAME FOR THIS AND "THEY" WILL PAY!!

and since its too threatening to conceive that the sociopaths and pathological liars who have been in charge for the past nearly-eight years can be the "someone",

then it must be the "other":

different color
different race
different religion
different accent

simply DIFFERENT!!

animals in a group, when confronted with a member of the group who appears different or acts differently first begin to exclude that "other", eventually killing it, if necessary, because they cannot tolerate the "other".

thats the way camps are built, ovens lighted and lives and cultures obliterated!

THANK YOU, 11:46, for the lesson!!

"If you have a Bachelor's degree, why haven't I read ONE thought provoking comment from you-ever? All you do is cut and paste (see kindergarten education) then slant it. Thus your new moniker! Wear it well!"

Actually, to correctly argue something you should first validate and quote your source. English comp 101. Also, keep avoiding the political issues and keep trying to make superficial arguments. It may work for you uneducated folks that get hypnotized by fox news. It wont work here. Don't post back unless you are going to talk about the issues

I thought we were at war with terrorists, not Muslims. We out to be at war with racists and bigots like Donald "Hussein" Lancelot Link.
