I don''t know about the rest of you Democrats, but I think I will be sitting this election out. Looks like to me that the Democrats have really shot themselves in the foot this time. Just this one old man''s humble opinion.

obama8years -- are you really saying that Obama is a member of Hamas?

Or are you just implying it in the hopes that people are so stupid that they''ll believe it?

Dean Barnett:

Are you out of your mind? You couldn''t find two worse candidates in the Democratic party!

I''m a flaming liberal DFH and that ticket would be enough to make me vote for McCain.

Obama ties to hamas

Tim Blumer did the work the MSM wouldn''t, and examined the back issues of the Trinity United Church of Christ''s Bulletin. One issue carried on the "Pastor''s Page" a pro-Hamas editorial by Mousa Abu Mazook, a high-ranking official of Hamas who has been implicated in terror attacks. He compares the Hamas Charter to the Declaration of Independence and calls for America to engage with Hamas and to pressure Israel .. The Charter of Hamas calls for the killing of Jews wherever they might live-Israel or beyond.


Of course the Obama campaign had to react to this latest revelation of scandal involving the views of his long-time "spiritual advisor" and "mentor" by issuing what has become a routine expression of outrage.


Ironically, in a separate press release, the campaign marked the holiday of Jewish Purim. The irony is because Hamas calls for the destruction of Jews everywhere, and Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from the plot of the Persian ruler Haman''s plot to annihilate them.


Then again, Barack Obama advocates outreach to Iran (modern day Persia) an engagement that will confer prestige on a regime that plans for the annihilation of the Jewish people. Haman has returned, and his name is now Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Louis Farakahns ties

In working with the Saudi funded Muslim Students Association in campuses across the US, the ISM has managed to cloud the image among American youth through disinformation and propaganda campaigns against Jews and Israel in order to try and make American students believe Israel is an apartheid state like South Africa was in the 1980s. At the same time, these same Palestinian groups like Al Awda insist the West Bank and Gaza must be Jew-free. Since this campaign has been largely successful in organizing anti-Israel attitudes on campuses all over America, and since Jewish organizations in America have been slow to react, the ISM moved on to another program to do the same thing only this time alienating US churches, particularly evangelical churches that have a long-term sense of Biblical support for the Jewish state. Thus was born the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theological Society created as part of the ISM to do in US churches what various ISM groups succeeded to do in American colleges.

At the same time, a foothold already existed to a small degree in the American black religious community such as is led by Louis Farrakhan.

If Barack Obama didn%u2019t know about Abunimah%u2019s writings (and Abunimah says he did), the same as his claims of being unaware of Reverend Wright%u2019s remarks after 20 years, then Obama is not competent to be our President. Abunimah likes to lie and claim Al Awda has nothing to do with the ISM or Electronic Intifada, though plenty of evidence exists on the website the homepage at www.StoptheISM.com showing the contrary.

But Obama%u2019s association with the ISM through his church and lobbying in Chicago goes even deeper than just his past links to Al Awda and Ali Abunimah. His pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, are both equally involved with the ISM.

Obama ties to hamas

an article has appeared on the ISM affiliated website Electronic Intifada (EI) by one of its co-founders, Ali Abunimah, in which Abumimah recounts his close past working relationship with Obama prior to the presidential campaign and how Abunimah believes Obama is merely giving lip service to the Jewish community to get elected, and that once in office he will work for the Palestinian cause. Abunimah lists himself and is mentioned in subsequent Obama articles in the mainstream press merely as a %u201CPalestinian activist.%u201D Abunimah insists that Obama will %u201Ccome around%u201D once elected.

But Ali Abunimah is more than just some %u201CPalestinian activist%u201D based in Chicago, the same location as Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ. He is, in fact, one of the founders of the fiercely anti-Semitic ISM Arab group Al Awda, the Palestine Right of Return Coalition. Abunimah is a high level international leader of the ISM for the Arabs who travels extensively between Chicago, Europe and Ramallah.

obama8years

Instead of posting:

"Obama said he landed on the moon!! -- Liar!! NASA never said you were on the moon!!"


Why don''t you post something like:

In the Washington Post on April 6, 2008, Obama was quoted as saying, "If you live out here in big sky country, I know you believe in civil liberties."

and then post your rebuttal.

Is it because you can''t prove you allegations?




And in regards to you post at 9:23, are you really saying that Obama is a member of Hamas?

Or are you just implying it in the hopes that people are so stupid that they''ll believe it?

you have got to be joking. obama/kerry??? i do not trust either one of them period. the only reason obama is where he is today is two words--OPRAH WINFREY--THAT IS IT!!!! i had never heard of him before. i personally think celebrities should keep their opinions to themselves--but this currently is a free country. my opinion is obama does not have any experience in anything. again, i do not trust him. this is only my opinion. i would like to know how many agree with me. please state your opinion. obama says "change". but, he does not say how. and, after 20 years at the same church, he did not know what his pastor??? was like? again, he is only where he is because of oprah. paulette5
