Anti-Semites for Obama

NASHVILLE, TN - The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Obama is elected president of the United States.

“It’s time to set the record straight about Barack Obama and where he really stands on vital issues such as national security and the security of Israel,” said Robin Smith, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. “Voters need to know about two items that surfaced today which strongly suggest that an Obama presidency will view Israel as a problem rather than a partner for peace in the Middle East.

On Sunday, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday likened Obama to a new messiah, calling him “the hope of the entire world.” That’s the same Louis Farrakhan who has a history of making openly anti-Semitic statements, calling Judaism a “gutter religion,” and suggesting that crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.

Farrakhan, addressing 20,000 people at the annual Savior’s Day celebration in Chicago, praised the Democrat presidential candidate, calling Obama “The hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”

...“Nothing in Barack Obama’s history or his choice of advisers suggests he will be a friend to Israel,” said Hobbs. “On the contrary, supporters of Israel should view a possible Obama administration with extreme caution, as America’s ally is being put in the cross-hairs by the anti-Jewish left.”

The National "Jewish" Democratic Council, an association of shills whose function is to persuade Jewish voters that the anti-Semitic "material" from Obama's friends Al Sharpton and MoveOn.org doesn't stink, condemned the Tennessee Republican Party for making these statements. The truth is that the TRP's statement is barely the tip of the iceberg. Here is the response we sent to the TRP, cc: NJDC and Republican Jewish Committee.

"NJDC Issues Release Demanding McCain Denounce Tennessee GOP for Smear Attempt" from the National Jewish Democratic Council accuses you of "smearing" Barack Obama by associating him with anti-Semitism at http://njdc.typepad.com/njdcs_blog/2008/02/njdc-issues-rel.html. I encourage the Tennessee GOP to not only refuse to apologize, but to expose Obama's enablement of racism and anti-Catholicism as well. I will be posting a more extensive piece to IsraPundit and other blogs shortly, as well as assembling some "viral E-mails" for people to circulate to their friends.

I have also copied NJDC on this E-mail because I don't see a need to say behind someone's back what I won't say to his face, and I have also copied the Republican Jewish Committe.

I will say up front that Obama has never, to the best of my knowledge, said anything personally against Jews, white people, or Catholics. It is his failure to understand (or care) that his promotion and endorsement of those who do enables anti-Semitism, hatred of Catholics, and racism that makes him unfit for office, and this is also under standards set by the NJDC itself.

(1) Hillary Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and now Mayor Lou Barletta of Hazleton PA all rejected without hesitation, equivocation, or qualification, the endorsement of hate organizations or hate mongers like the Klan's David Duke. Tuesday night, Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton had to corner Barack Hussein Obama like a rat before he would use the word "reject" in connection with the endorsement of the prominent racist, anti-Semite, and Catholic-hater Louis Farrakhan. They had to ask him three times, in fact. Clinton, Reagan, and Barletta did not need to be asked even once. As soon as they learned that a hate group or bigot had endorsed them, they stepped up and rejected that support.

NJDC condemned Ron Paul for failing to reject the Stormfront White Nationalist Community's support in this manner, and I agree 100 percent. Obama is disqualified from office under exactly the same standard, and I am citing NJDC's own standards in letters to the editor and blog entries to demonstrate this.

(2) Obama endorsed Al Sharpton and his National Action Network, both of which have a well-known record of inciting hatred of white people and especially Jews.

(3) Obama solicited and obtained the endorsement of MoveOn.org whose online Action Forum, while under the full editorial control of MoveOn's moderators, welcomed the most vicious imaginable hate speech against Jews, Catholics, and Evangelical Christians, along with 9/11 conspiracy theories. MoveOn itself published a vicious anti-Catholic hate cartoon that could have come straight from the infamous 19th century cartoonist Thomas Nast.

(4) Obama belongs to a church with a racist pastor. (I have admittedly never read of Jeremiah Wright making anti-Semitic remarks, though.)

The bottom line is that the Tennesee GOP is 100 percent correct that Obama not only has anti-Semitic (and racist, and anti-Catholic) contacts, but he even promotes, endorses, and praises most of them, Farrakhan being an exception. I encourage NJDC to research the facts more carefully and reconsider "NJDC Issues Release Demanding McCain Denounce Tennessee GOP for Smear Attempt."

I will also send the Tennessee GOP my IsraPundit posting that cites eight or nine other bloggers, many of whom are Jewish, on Obama's willful connections to hate mongers, hate groups, Israel-haters, and America-haters. This is a point that should be pressed to the utmost because neither Obama nor his supporters have any conceivable defense against it.

You might also want to know that Obama allegedly misused tax-exempt church resources to suppport his campaign, noting that a speech with campaign-related content was given at the United Church of Christ meeting last June.

"Because America was founded within the Judeo-Christian heritage, the routes of which lie in the Holy Land which is governed by Jews that give freedom of religion to all its citizens and inhabitants, including islamist savages that would destroy Israel and America given the chance."

The Judeo-Christian heritage that we were born from came out of Western Europe which supported centuries of anti-semitism.

Somehow tying our Judeo-Christian heritage to the relatively recent creation of the state of Israel is totally non-sensical.

Just like it took us over a hundred years (and probably more years into the future) to come to grips with our former support of racism and slavery, likewise will it take more time to come to grips with our former support of anti-semitism.

Supporting or not supporting particular policies of the Israeli government is not a sign of anti-semitism except to those race-baiters who profit from focusing more heat than light on these issues.

It wasn't invented there. It originated in the Holy Land.

The only people to ever have a state there were, and are The Jews.

You can speak for yourself, one guesses.

Supporting or not supporting particular policies of the Israeli government is not a sign of anti-semitism except to those race-baiters who profit from focusing more heat than light on these issues.

"Support" for Torah, and a people who even marginally know it, is far superior to their society's destruction by another moon god islamist state which would be erected in it's wake.

Tough it seems that's what you support. Just tattoo your's and your family's, and your children's throats where you'd prefer the islamists cut them - or you may prefer dhimmitude - if you get your eventually get your wish.

I personally believe that the state of Israel should first declare that there is not and never was a distinct group of people called Palestinians. That Palestinians are really just Western Jordanians.

They then should declare war on Jordan, and fight until they win and declare an official border between themselves and Jordan.

At that point, if Jordan wishes, they can allow the people who call themselves Palestinains to secede and form a separate state out of Jordanian territory.

The half measures that Israel is currently engaging in with support and pressure from the rest of the world are doomed to result in an endless low level war with no end in sight.

It also encourages the Israelis to commit a number of acts which even they wish they wouldn't have to engage in, such as launching attacks at criminals that result in deaths of innocents.

Of course if you believe that all Palestinians are guilty because they don't constantly rat out the criminals amongst them, then you are free to live with that delusion.

The fact that I don't agree with everything Israel has done up to this point leads people like you to immediately think that I am a big supporter of Islam and Palestine, but that is not the case.

It is just another example of the race-baiting that passes for debate on these threads on FR.
