    Manipulating Jewish voters

    Daily I get as well as come across disturbing specifics about Obama and his campaign. There is no way this country can come together under an Obama presidency.

    This last series of articles started with the Sarah Silverman video promoting Obama. I got calls from friends and family about this video. They were upset with the disrespectful way she talked about her family. It seems that the video has been viewed in one form or another just under a million times.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgHHX9R4Qtk

    Today I learned that there was a business connected with the video.
    http://www.thegreatschlep.com/site/index.html

    Then I learned that the same group was using deceptive editing in another pro-Obama video and that Dayan and Halevy were publicly objecting to this.

    http://www.jonchristianryter.com/New...er/Behind.html
    Obama using fraudulently doctored video to make it appear that Israel wants Americans to vote for Barack Obama.

    The Jerusalem Post covered this story on October 7.
    http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satelli...cle%2FShowFull

    "Could it be that those Florida grandparents-and mainstream Israelis-are worried about Obama for legitimate reasons? Maybe it is precisely because Obama is supported by those hard-left Israelis who would like to see the US pressure-or "rape"-Israel into a dangerous settlement that he inspires unease. Or that he was endorsed by Hamas. Or that the Obama campaign had to return $33,000 in donations when it was revealed they had come from Hamas-controlled Gaza. Or that there is an independent Gaza-based call center calling Americans to promote Obama's candidacy. Or that for 20 years he worshipped in and drew inspiration from that sewer of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism that was Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church, only quitting once politically necessary to do so. Or that his friends include former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi and unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers. Or that his past and current foreign policy team (e.g., Daniel Kurtzer, Robert Malley, Samantha Power, Zbigniew Brzezinski) have, to be charitable, a troubled relationship with the pro-Israel community. Or that he has made remarks disparaging the Likud Party, likely to be in power again within months. Or that so many elements hostile to Israel are in his corner. Or that John McCain is projected to get upwards of 80% of the vote from Americans actually in Israel-tens of thousands of patriotic Americans who might know a thing or two about the implications of America's Mideast policies.

    Analysis: Mocking the Jews

    Maybe some parts of the American Jewish can learn from the Israeli Jewish community. It's not one thing. It's one thing after another.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    I find it alarming that after many long months of emails bashing Obama now we have emails surfacing in support of him. Obviously he is making an impact in the Florida jewish community where most of my family resides.

    I even got a call out of the blue on my Florida cell phone asking for support for Obama.

    McCain should realize that Florida's 27 electoral votes is his for the taking and still up for grabs.

    Why is that alarming or even surprising? Polls show that Obama is in the lead. Even McCain admits that he is behind. Therefore, you are more likely to get emails from supporters than opponents. Do the math.

    Obama isn't the devil and neither is McCain and we'll survive either one. I should think that the Jews would want to have some sort of power base regardless of who gets elected. So far as I can see they will. Obama will be a friend to Israel and McCain will be a friend to Israel.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    Most of the Russian Jews will vote for McCain - grandparents, parents and everyone in between. That I can guarantee. If we could concentrate in some place and actually voted then we could have some impact on the election.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    I have not met an older Jewish American voter in the 50+ age range who is for Obama. That makes a McCain win look likely in Florida. I have, however, met many older Israeli American Jews who are for Obama, but thankfully most of these live in NY or CA, which are blue states regardless.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    I see Jews as being in a really vulnerable position thanks to how Obama has conducted his campaign, and the current economy. There will be a lot of accusations when the Jewish vote doesn't go towards a Democrat, and nobody will be putting the responsibility on Obama himself. Even if he wins, he's such a divisive candidate and he just doesn't grasp the separation of church and state. All of this amounts to some delicate times for us Jews.

    Not in any way different from what it is now.

    This is a mazzahball of a question... It could be minuscule, and then again it can be massive. The former is self explanatory. The latter, well if it emboldens the enemies of the US (which typically has been the case with Democrats since at least FDR... Cuban Missile Crisis being a challenge won, and the Iranian Hostages as a challenge lost). Maybe AQ or the Mulahs, or the N Koreans or the Russians or the Chinese... but lets stick to AQ for the moment... will calculate that Obama is equal or worse than Willie and will, like Willie toss, a couple of missiles their way but wouldn't have the heart (or the support, or the skills or the allies) to take them on long haul, wont have the heart to virtually annihilate Pakistan or Saudi Arabia etc if the crappola hits the fan. Maybe they'll feel they can get away with, well, blowing up a few Synagogues in Cali, or a Rabbinical Seminary in NY or maybe a small retirement community in Florida say.... yeah I bet the Jews can indeed be affected. Carter affected us a lot.

    This is a rhetorical comment, don't feel compelled to explore this, I'm not so interested in US politics save how they effect Israel.

    Phrase this question differently and the answer is a little more obvious. How will a deeper depression change life for Jews in America? We already have the typical groups who blame the Jews, blaming the Jews, but such sentiments are becoming more and more mainstream. We're going to see greater attention paid towards radicalized socialist doctrines, which will no doubt make a lot of liberal Jews happy...at first. I think we know how certain styles of socialism, during economic downturns has worked out for Jews in the past. Obama's plan to enforce selective service through religious and community organizations is one very concrete way in which Jews will be effected.

    The Goerge Soros, MoveOn and ANSWER politics that have helped create a tense atmosphere for Jews will be given a mainstream platform, and we have no strong voices to refute improper claims. There are public school text books being used in the US that read as if the Muslim Brotherhood were the author, and so we have a generation indoctrinated with misleading info about Jews. We can look at Obama's mentors and work associates and see how this is not the type of administration we need following up the type of post9/11 interfaith inclusiveness policies that have been intentionally damaging for the standing of Jews in America.

    I see the world turning into a powder keg under Obama, both due to his economical approach, and his concepts for diplomacy.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    If Obama wins, he will continue the direction his life has gone so far. There is no indication he has ever cooperated with those he considers his opponents.

    In the first place no country that has been taken over by those using Robin Hood politics supports capitalism. Cuba, Argentina, Russia, China come to mind. While the Jewish community tends to the left in supporting a welfare system, it's welfare for other people, not for themselves. Jews historically have liked to own businesses; socialism supports control of everything.

    Jews like arguing about whatever. Socialism does not like disagreements with those in power. While Jews may help bring socialists into power, they don't stay around for very long. It's all well and good to be argumentative when one is the opposition, but who to argue with when the ones supported are in power and allow no opposition. Obama has learned to do it the Chicago way, all talk, no reality, no opposition allowed. (See the Kass column that appeared last Sunday in the Chicago Tribune.)

    I'll throw in a bit of New Age here. In the New Age political system, which was written about by Foster Bailey, husband of Alice Bailey, there was support for communism. Alice Bailey wrote that the Jews were to be hated because they were always separate, never blending in with the surrounding culture. In that belief system, separation is the ultimate evil. Socialism says blend in or else.

    When Robin Hood politics are in play, the opposition becomes those considered rich. Jews have bragged over the years how successful the community is. A no no and a problem now. As in the Lehman rumors.

    The left supports the "poor" Palestinian underdogs. Better the Jewish community get in line there also. No arguing. No separation allowed. Obama has a history of Muslim and leftist communist support.

    Because he will choose to have those like him around him in support positions, where will he get balancing viewpoints? The countries of the world are moving in the same direction as Obama is moving. McCain appears to be going in that direction also, as had Bush. Obama will just be doing it on steroids.

    I know this might appear as simplistic rather than academic reasoning. I can post many links supporting these positions, but would anyone read them? The question was asked on a thread I started, so I decided to answer it in my own way. A Survival Guide for Jews under an Obama regime might start with the advice Get a Job With the Government and Keep your Mouth Closed.

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any

    inconvenience to themselves.

    Pause a moment, reflect back.

    These events are actual events from history..

    They really happened!!!

    Do you remember?

    1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.

    2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.

    3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.

    4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.

    5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.

    6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro washijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard

    in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.

    7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim

    male extremists.

    8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.

    9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.

    10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.

    11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to takedown the World Trade Centers and of the

    remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands ofpeople

    were killed by Muslim male extremists.

    12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.

    13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.

    According to The Book of Revelations:

    The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceivethe nations with persuasive language, and have

    a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world

    peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

    And Now:
    For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the

    face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely

    liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his 40s.

    Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???

    I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...

    Re: Manipulating Jewish voters

    If you want to know how an Obama presidency would affect Jews, just ask Jesse Jackson.
    http://www.nypost.com/seven/10142008...450.htm?page=0

    "... The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

    "Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

    "Obama is about change," Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. "And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it...."
