And Jews Will Still Vote For Obama
by Big Dog on Oct 14, 2008 at 20:00 Political
I have never been able to figure out the American Jewish community. They are a bunch of hard working people who own businesses and live good lives but they continue to support the Democratic party year after year even though the Democrats take a crap on them every chance they get. Every four years it is the same thing. Democratic candidates pander to the Jews and promise them that they are strong supporters of Israel and then once they get elected they forget the Jews until the next election. When problems arise that require America to stand with Israel the Democrats cause all kinds of problems.
Barack Obama is no supporter of Israel. Sure, he went there and prayed and said all the right things but he has a long history of associating with anti Semites. His associations include Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farakhan and Jesse Jackson, all of whom are anti Semites. Obama himself has made promises to the Jewish community only to backtrack the next day and leaders of Muslim countries are praying for an Obama win because they know he will not be as kind to Israel as Republicans are. Muslim leaders hope to be able to rid the world of Israel and under an Obama administration, they might just do it.
Jesse Jackson, who is not a spokesperson for Obama, was interviewed recently and he stated that Obama would stop the practice of putting Israel’s needs above those of other nations in the Middle East.
He promised “fundamental changes” in US foreign policy – saying America must “heal wounds” it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the “arrogance of the Bush administration.”
The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end. New York Post [emphasis mine]
Jackson believes that, although “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.
Israel is our ally. No other country in the Middle East is and they all love when Americans suffer. Several of them tolerate us but they would be more than happy to see America’s demise. Jackson, true to his anti Semite beliefs, says that Zionists have too much control in America and that Obama will end that. How much more do American Jews need to hear to oppose this guy? It is not like Jackson is not in touch with Obama. Obama and Jackson’s son are friends and his daughter went to school with Michelle Obama. They live near each other and Jackson has been a big supporter of The One. Jackson views this election as all about race and America finally doing what blacks want. He calls it a redemptive election but states that race issues will not be solved should Obama win. Why would he believe that? If race issues are solved this master race hustler would be out of a job. He lives to extort money from companies based on trumped up allegations of racism.
Jackson also said something that should infuriate any member of the military. Jackson, while saying why Obama’s chances are good, stated that we have a collapsing economy and a war that we lost in Iraq. He also stated that the US would have to keep troops there for a long time. When asked about Obama’s pledge to bring them all home by 2010 Jackson said that would have to “evolve, reflecting realities on the ground.”
So let’s get this straight. George Bush has kept troops in Iraq based on the realities on the ground and that drives the moonbats bananas. Obama promises to bring them home in short order, in fact that was the basis of his entire primary campaign (his sound judgment and all), but he might have to leave them there because of the conditions on the ground. This seems to be OK with Jackson though he is never short of negative words when referring to George Bush and Iraq. Let’s also be clear about this; WE HAVE NOT LOST THE WAR IN IRAQ. The only people who see a loss are the Democrats because they pray we will lose there. You can bet that if Obama wins and brings the troops home Jackson and his ilk will be claiming Barack brought us victory.
As an aside, Howard Stern sent someone on the street to ask people about who they are voting for. When they found people saying they were voting for Obama they were then asked questions about Obama’s positions but the questioner inserted McCain’s positions instead. The people were fine with everything as long as it was attributed to Obama. Pro life, banning embryonic stem cell research, and Sarah Palin as VP were all fine with Obama supporters. Now tell me again that people are not voting for him just because of his color or that they have no real clue and would vote for anything so long as they believed it was an Obama position. Kool Aid runs freely in Obama land.
Anyway, the Jews in America need to wake up and realize that the people in the Republican party have always been friends to Israel and when we say we will defend our ally, we mean it. They need to pay attention to the Democrats who promise them everything and then ignore them when the election is over.
If Obama wins and the “Zionists” in America get screwed and if Israel gets raked over the coals then the American Jewish community will have no one to blame but itself. For God’s sake, how many times do you folks have to be screwed before you fight back? Maybe this will help:
“Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss,” Jackson says. “Barack will change that,” because, as long as the Palestinians haven’t seen justice, the Middle East will “remain a source of danger to us all.”
“Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims,” Jackson says. “Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith.” (author: and that would be?) [same article]
As long as Palestinians have not seen justice? What kind of justice is it when Israel gets a little piece of land and attempts to live in peace on it only to have Palestine lobbing rockets in all day and demanding that Israel give up its land. Each time Israel capitulates it gets attacked again and more concessions are demanded of them. God forbid Israel uses it military or the UN and the Democrats have conniptions. How long will Jews allow this to continue before they see that Democrats are as much a threat to the survival of Israel as Ahmadinejad? Barack Obama will repair our relations with the Islamic world but they will not be healed until Israel is gone. That will be a precondition Obama will have to meet.

Good grief haven’t they heard Jimmy Carter over there blaming Israel and siding with the poor Palestinians!!!???
Oh jeeze. Obama hates Jews but they’ll vote for him anyway because they’re dumb? Yet another example of how you have absolutely no leg to stand on in this election.
Remember, friends. Vote for McCain not because McCain is qualified, but instead because Obama (select one of the following depending on time of day):
1. Is a radical secret Muslim
2. Is a radical black Christian
3. Is a socialist
4. Is a communist
5. Is a nazi
6. Hates Israel
7. Pals around with domestic terrorists
8. Is supported by international terrorists
9. Is black
10. Is only half white
11. Is not 100% black
12. Is really brown skinned, not black, what a liar
13. Is the most liberal senator
14. Wants to eat your aborted children
15. Isn’t a naturalized citizen
16. Once called me a honky cracker gringo
Feel free to add to the list…
Not this Jew. This Jew actually did something for his country and it lasted twenty years. It was called the Cold War and the bulk of it was spent on Aircraft Carriers deployed to the other side of the world.
Good for you GM. Convince more! Thanks for your service to our country.
Adam, are you denying that he is an anti Semite? Are you denying that he has had decades long relationships with other anti Semites?
McCain is more qualified to be the President, all the Democrats who ran against Obama said that. McCain knows foreign affairs and the military better than Obama and neither knows economics worth a damn or they would not be trying to outspend each other to fix a problem that should be left to correct itself.
There are many reasons not to vote for Obama none of which is on your list (though those are perfectly OK if that is how you feel). They are as good a reason not to vote for him as his color is a reason to vote for him.
Obama is untested, has spent half his political career running for another office, has fewer than 150 days in the Senate and a resume that is paper thin. He is a radical who believes in Socialism and will pursue that goal. Those are all valid reasons not to vote for the man.
As for the Jewish issue, if he can’t support Israel then he should not be president. He would rather support Israel’s enemies and you wonder why people think he is still a Muslim (and yes, he once was).
You see, some of what you write is true. International terrorists support him – they have stated it. He pals around with a domestic terrorist – we know this is true (why has he not thrown Ayers under the bus after he did so to his own grandmother?). He wants to let you failed attempt at aborted born alive children die though I doubt he wants to eat them – true as shown by his statements and votes.
You can deny but he is unqualified, radical and unknown. But you would vote for bin Laden if he was a Democrat.
To reiterate something previously stated by Big Dog –
I think it’s pretty telling when the same Democrats who ran against Obama in the primaries would rather McCain be president than someone from their own party.
I think it’s pretty telling when radicals from countries who hate America and have publicly said as much are hoping and praying Obama gets elected.
I think it’s pretty telling when nearly everyone I ask every day, “Why are you voting for Obama?” can’t give me a good, solid, factual reason.
I think it’s pretty telling when there is PROOF that Obama has had these deep relationships with Ayers and Rev. Wright and the like and then, when all of a sudden he realizes they’re a danger to his political career, he “barely knows them.” I challenge anyone to provide solid PROOF to the contrary. Enough with the “he says he didn’t know Ayers” and “but he says he loves Israel” and the “he says he wasn’t involved with ACORN”. Rhetoric is useless.
I think it’s pretty telling when he refuses to produce a couple of standard documents that would prove his citizenship status, even though he couldn’t even get a job as a security guard at a mall without providing background information on himself – and yet he wants to hold the highest office in the nation?
If that doesn’t concern EVERYONE in this country, no matter your declared political party, then I wonder what’s happened to the America we all know and love and the Constitution that was created to protect us. I don’t care if he’s Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, black, brown, white, or bright neon purple, it’s his record and his policies and his judgment and character that should raise grave concerns about whether he is qualified to lead this nation.
Sure it’s his record and his experience. *wink* *wink* Now let’s get back to bashing him for his race/religion/loose associations. Party on…
I don’t recall anyone here bashing him for his race. His use of racism – yes, his playing the race card – yes, the libs who say we are racists if we don’t vote for him – yes, but no one here is saying they will not vote for him because of his race.
We have all stated we do not agree with his issues and policies but libs like you cannot comprehend that others would actually disagree with these issues because, to you, they are so rational and sane. Anyone who disagrees MUST be doing it based on race.
No, we just don’t agree with his policies and his character is severely lacking.
I have the same confusion. Some Jews are self loathing anti Zionists, some are self loathing anti state of Israel, some are secular Jews in name only, and some are totally confused.
The rest are well rooted in reality and see the danger they are in. My prayers go to the State of Israel that G_D may protect and watch over them. Peace, Bosun
Same old conservative non-sense. Try having your own thought for a change, and not just regurgitating what Sean Hannity or Rush “anti-American” Limbaugh says.
Well he won and time will tell. I am Jewish and family has always voted Dem. They do not care who it is and defend the candidate. I think this will be different. I hope I am wrong.
Grew up in chicago with a union bigwig atty dad. It all smells like Chicago politics. Very strong and slick.
We must watch carefully.
