Some Jewish Dems feeling nervous about the presidential race
By Ami Eden on May 21, 2008 in Featured, Podcast |
I have an article up about the National Jewish Democratic Council event Sunday night, during which several speakers and attendees expressed concerns about Barack Obama’s ability to hold on to Jewish voters. Even NJDC’s executive director, Iran Forman, who generally can be counted on to dismiss GOP predictions of a Jewish shift, was voicing concern about the presidential race.

why would any Jew want to vote for a naive fool who would want to talk to the Hilter of our generation?

This Jewish voter will not vote for Obama! Obama couldn’t get a job with the FBI with his associations. He never get clearance. Why we we trust him as President.
Vote Hillary or Vote McCain
Keep America Safe!

The National Jewish Democratic Council’s own standards define Obama as totally unfit for any position of public trust or responsibility.
NJDC condemned Mitt Romney for appearing at the museum of Henry Ford, who once published anti-Semitic material that he later retracted and repudiated. If appearing at the museum of a long dead EX-antisemite disqualifies Romney, it is clear that Obama’s appearances with live and unrepentant ones (Al Sharpton, MoveOn.org) disqualify Obama even more. To these anti-Semitic individuals and organizations may be added a long list of racists (Louis Farrakhan, whom Obama refused to reject until forced to do so on national television, Jeremiah Wright, and Sharpton) and Catholic-hating bigots (Farrakhan and MoveOn.org).
Regarding MoveOn.org, whose endorsement Obama solicited and accepted, there is an official anti-Catholic hate cartoon from this organization that shows Pope Benedict waving a gavel in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. I have made its existence known to my Catholic neighbors in Northeast Pennsylvania, home to “bitter” small town people who “cling to guns and religion.” To this may be added the anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic hate speech that MoveOn welcomed at its now disgraced Action Forum.
