Obama and Brzezinski—Ill-Suited and Sending a Mixed Message to Jews

insane

Jews have really shaped American policy since at least Bush's first election. This is a detriment to both the Jewish people and Americans at large because due to this small minority with an overwhelming role in its influence in America is sparking a growing backlash against the Jewish influence.

Response to Kim of AR

Nice comment

Obama not pro-Jew

Anyone who thinks Obama is for the Jewish people or supports the Jewish state is dreaming. He supports the Palestinians and Hamas. Jimmy Carter went to talk to Hamas with Obama's full approval and after that visit Hamas started making more demands. Hamas doesn't want to make peace and Obama and Carter know that.

Obama has already sold out to the highest bidder, Wall Street, and to the rest of them. Where do you think he got his money? From the big companies and lobbyists in their roundabout way.

Brzezinski

Mr. Brzezinski is one of the very few sane voices when it comes to our distorted and Israeli-biased Middle East policy. "Making nice" with Israel doesn't mean condoning its war crimes, feeding it military hardware, and using American tax dollars to support this corrupt non-third-world country. The Israelis should be ashamed to take our charity--but their actions have proven over and over again that they have no shame.

comments

It amazes me how many anti-semitic people have commented here. I would have hoped by the year 2008 we would be past the stupidity of it. Everyone wants to act like they are above it. Do any of you people actually read what you are typing? People assume that if I am pro-Israel then I am against every muslim person in the world. That if I am pro-America then I am against all immigrants. Does not seem to occur to people that I might believe that all people deserve to be treated just. That a person is innocent of any wrong thought or deed until proven guilty. That it is not my place to judge the world. I am only 41 and did not go through some the history that has been mentioned in these comments but I do know history. A little mass murder (you got to be kidding) during WWII blows my mind. The fact that the jewish nation has been persecuted against longer and more than any other nation never seems to occur to anyone.

Last comment:

The idea that Obama will not be influenced by lobbyist is laughable. He is human and a politician. Please wake up and face reality. I would love to think that any of the people running for the presidency is above it all. Reality says otherwise. I do think they each could do a good job but I do not believe any one truly stands out. I personally think we are screwed this election year.

Father Day Reflection on Election 2008

Father Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :

Election 2008 is not a election but a decision for homecoming. Americans are on the crossroad of homecoming or to the abyss. They are currently facing Great Depression II and the only conscious solution is to repeat what they had done in the last Depression and emerged as a much stronger country. In the 1930s Americans were smart enough not to elect a politician as president but to return home to their parents, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, who had nurtured them back to health and wealth. Today, we are facing the same dilemma, should Americans elect a radical politician who has given them empty promises? Or, to return home to their parents, John and Hillary? The choice is really quite simple. Obama and Black supporters reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatrics causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supporters are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable of managing their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their supernatural tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have never given any honest election comments. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Hillary Clinton, best American candidate in history, can be identified with a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 million just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. John McCain who has shown the ability to set aside party differences for the common good, working relentless for the American by running on many elections and his decency has earned the trust of most Americans. Together as a team John and Hillary will carry Americans out of the current Great Depression. But will a good father send his children to early grave for a war that cannot be won? Obviously, our parents are much older than us but they have the experience we rely on and care we need. Happy Father Day!

Get REAL about Obama and Israel

Brzezinski is just ONE of MANY anti-Israel advisors Obama has on his team. READ ABOUT IT - it is pretty scary. Wake up Israel and America - Obama hates you! God d@mn America... no one has suffered more than the Palestinians... and Israel is a constant sore... Let's talk, Iran. Oh - and Farrakhan - you get the lifetime achievement award from Obama's church that passes out pro Hamas and pro Hezbollah readings for their members (like Obama - yes for 20 years and counting...

An ex-Muslim named Hussein being anti-Jew and anti-American? Gee - you have to be kidding.

Media Control

Clearly your comment that they do not control the media shows (1) you are a pumper for Israel and (2) you are a liar.

First, Rupert Murdoch and the fanatical Fox News did not become a propaganda tool for the jewish lobby and Israel because Murdoch just happens to admire Israel. As many know, Rupert's mother was an orthodox jew and Rupert was raised in a religious jewish environment.

Second, poor Ted Turner does not own any media -- he sold CNN to Time Warner which at that time was controlled by Levine. In fact, poor Ted Turner himself on many occassion complained about the hold of our media by zionist groups.

"the control of our media by jewish groups"

There are Jews in the media. But they do not control the media. Ted Turner is not Jewish, and neither is Rupert Murdoch.
