The Obama/Jewish effect

Northeastern University criminologist Jack Levin: "The "Obama effect ... [has] generated a backlash of white supremacy," Northeastern criminologist Jack Levin told CNN Wednesday. "Jews and blacks in the White House – that's threatening to someone who believes that blacks are subhuman and Jews are the children of the devil."

He makes the same point here in an interview with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann:

Actually, A Nazi(National SOCIALIST) is really a Leftist.
Nazis and Jihadists Go Hand in Hand and have since the rise of Nazism and the Nazis’ involvement with the “Muslim Brotherhood” before ,During,and AFTER WWII.
That’s Right. You read it RIGHT!
btw, As many or more Nazi War Criminals took Refuge and were Honored Guests in Arab/Muslim Countries as in South America.
Also, Don’t Forget the Role of the Palestinian Arab leader,Amin Al-Husseini, in the Holocaust.

EWC displays his ignorance by making this claim--nobody who knows the history of the Nazis and their hatred of Socialists, Communists and Jews (who were all linked in Nazi ideology) would ever make the mistake of claiming the Nazis were leftists.  This is just an unsubstantiated ideological claim by conservatives and right wingers to distance themselves from the crimes of their fellow right wingers, the Nazis--who were put in power in Germany by geting the support of the German conservative parties by the way.

So, according to the Torah of Nadel, right wingers are the same as Nazis??! May I then conclude that liberals leftists, like he and Obama, are the same as Stalinists? It is always amazing how many of our Jewish brethren are blinded by their own faddish ideologies at the expense of historical facts and logical thinking. The great Jabotinsky used to call this “ideological Sha’atnez.” Anti-Semites come in all colors and ideological stripes; in fact this is where Obama is most similar to FDR - both sophisticated and genteel anti-Semites who abandoned/will abandon the Jewish people when it is convenient.
