Are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama anti-Semites?

arack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's recent attendance of Al Sharpton's National Action Network raises some disturbing questions, especially given allegations about Clinton's past record of making anti-Semitic statements. Jews Divided on Hillary Slur reports an allegation that, in 1974, she called Bill Clinton's campaign manager Paul Fray, whom she apparently blamed for losing a Congressional race for her husband, a "f**king Jew bastard." Meanwhile, stories about Obama's attendance at a madrasa, and his connection with a Black separatist minister, take on added seriousness in light of his recent visit to Al Sharpton's racist and anti-Semitic hate group.

Under standards set, not by Republican critics with an axe to grind but by the National Jewish Democratic Council itself, Clinton, Obama, and also Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, and John Edwards, have disqualified themselves as candidates and should drop out of the race.

...Since the National Jewish Democratic Council has effectively said that Mitt Romney disqualified himself by speaking at the museum of a long dead EX-antisemite, we are confident that it will soon issue a statement asking for Democratic candidates to step forward as alternatives to the six who are currently running. All six appeared at the conference of a living and active racist and anti-Semitic hate organization, the very same organization that chanted phrases like "bloodsucking Jews," "Jew bastards," "white interloper," and "cracker lover" before one of its members torched a Jewish-owned store and killed seven people.

Here are pictures of Barack Obama arm in arm with the same living and unrepentent racist and anti-Semite who personally called the owner of Freddy's Fashion Mart a "white interloper" while referring to the Jews of Crown Heights as "diamond merchants." Sharpton's mob, meanwhile, yelled "Kill the Jews!" as one of its members knifed Yankel Rosenbaum to death. This suggests that Obama does not like Jews, and it is quite likely (given his alleged connections with a Black separatist minister) that he does not like white Gentiles either.

To put matters another way, how would most African-Americans feel if a white candidate appeared in the following context with the Ku Klux Klan's David Duke or the White Aryan Resistance's Tom Metzger? They would probably conclude that said candidate was a white supremacist and a racist, and they would almost certainly be right.

No one is interested in Clinton's, Obama's, or the other candidates' excuse that "we need the Black vote." Racist and anti-Semitic demagogues appeal universally to the absolute dregs of the societies they claim to represent. Duke and Metzger appeal to the lowest class of Caucasian Gentile. Al Sharpton similarly appeals to Black people who, if they woke up one day to find that they had become white people, would be cutting holes in their pillowcases and trying on sheets by noon. By nightfall, they would be burning crosses, lynching Negroes, and firebombing Black churches the way Sharpton's people burned Freddy's Fashion Mart. If that is the kind of "Black vote" that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want, then no decent American of any race or ethnicity should want any part of them.

We recall Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and it appears as though Barack Obama has hung the Sharpton-tross, stinking to high heaven of racist and anti-Semitic hate speech along with the Tawana Brawley scandal, around his own neck:
