Jewish Whispering Campaign (Obama's treatment of Lieberman)
National Review Online ^ | 10 June 2008 | Mark Hemingway

Posted on 06/10/2008 8:20:51 AM PDT by SE Mom

Newsweek has a piece this week on Barack Obama — titled “His Jewish Problem: A Myth?” — that is an absolutely Herculean feat of water-carrying for the Illinois senator. But before tackling the factual problems, the article’s biggest problem needs to be addressed — Newsweek aids and abets the Obama campaign’s decision to slander Joe Lieberman:

(From Newsweek) In a brief but animated Senate floor confrontation last week, according to a campaign aide who asked for anonymity when talking about private discussions, Obama told Lieberman he was surprised by Lieberman’s personal attacks and his half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim. (The aide says Lieberman was “strangely muted” during the exchange; a Lieberman spokesman says the chat was “private and friendly.”) (End Newsweek) ----

That is a surprising disclosure to read, because almost as a rule political aides don’t go walking around leaking the contents of private conversations between senators on the Senate floor to the press. It’s also hard to imagine that an Obama aide would accuse Sen. Lieberman of “half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim” and Lieberman would have nothing to say about that other than their conversation was “private and friendly.” ----

Sounds like Obama is playing to the anti-Israel far left with the help of Newsweak. Newsweak was already leftist, but recently they've gone Kos-type far left. Glad I let my sub run out long ago. The radicalization of the MSM is the real story. Formerly, the MSM was just left-leaning, but in the last few years, they've become far-left activists. When Olbermann is the “star” of both NBC and MSNBC (they even run commercials for his show during NBC News), their total disregard of actual “reporting” is obvious.

Is that a cross around her neck? I wonder if she realizes that Obama believes that even if a baby is born alive, you can kill it....

Does anyone have any video of the Obama-Lieberman confrontation on the Senate floor? You could probably tell a lot just by looking at them.

What else would you expect from them? They're owned by the Washington Post!

The man doth protest too much.

The leftists always overplay their hand. Team Bambi is going to spend the next five months complaining that his opponents are belittling his accomplishments and misrepresenting who he is and by Election Day most Americans are going to be asking themselves "Who is this guy and what has he accomplished?"

If it is a cross I’m sure it’s just a piece of jewelery to her. No Christian significance whatsoever.

How smart is it of the Obama camp to antagonize a revered figure in the Jewish community? Is this showing tact and diplomatic skills or a tendency to bully and bluster? I suspect it will change Senator Lieberman’s conduct and behavior not at all.

It isn't about changing "Senator Lieberman's conduct," idiot. It is a pre-emptive strike against liberal Jews who might be tempted to look a little too closely. But Obama knows they would rather bare their throats than be seen by their friends as "racists."

It wouldn’t surprise me if Barry O would implode before September. He’s truly out of his league, now that he isn’t just dealing with brain-dead Democrat voters.

I did my part; armed with printed stories and a video on my iphone of Obama speaking so lovingly of Palestine (and a picture of McCain at the Kotel), I got 11/12 of my NE college friends (from a “Jewish” fraternity -— we were drinking heavily) to realize how dangerous Obama is.

No. 12 is a lost cause.

They are riled up and will go to points NE and spread the info on what a joke Obama is.
