Dear Jews: Stop the Obama Paranoia

The Atlantic ^ | Oct 8 2008 | Jeffrey Goldberg

[SJackson]

I can't tell you how many e-mails I've received in the past two weeks that attempt to revive all of the absurd fears about Barack Obama, mainly of the sort that suggest he's a Manchurian Candidate who has been groomed his entire life by some Middle Eastern version of KAOS to seize the White House and immediately annihilate Israel. It's craziness of this sort:

...snip...

So, all you rumor-mongering, fever-headed Jewish conspiracists: Support McCain, if you want, and there are credible reasons for doing so, but stop smearing Obama in the face of overwhelming evidence that the man is a great friend of Jews and of Israel. After a point, it becomes obvious that what you fear is not Israel's destruction, but the presence of an African-American in the White House. And that's disgusting.

And on that note, to all my MOTs, have an easy fast. This blog most definitely does not roll on Yom Kippur.

He's doing a good job of it.

Note the date. From the author of the recent Netanyahu is a chickens**t, coward, et al. Post election.

It's a pro Israel administration, Dr. Goldberg who has diagnosed folk like me with varients of PPD assure me of that. I'm the one who sees space aliens after all.

I'd love to meet Dr. Krauthammer, maybe I can schedule an appointment to get a second opinion.

Mr Goldberg will wake up once Obama abandons Israel and throws Jews into hat already cramped space under the bus. Of course it will be too late then.

Dear Jews: Stop the Obama Paranoia

Dear Jews, your brethren in the northeast voted overwhelmingly for this foreign, communist, muslim ass, so if you don't like him, speak to them about their politics and the consequences of their votes.

Ahhhhhhh.....The Atlantic.....it’s filled with muck, crabs and sewage. It’s also the name of an ocean.

In what way is it absurd to believe this? All of the Manchurians, sorry Lord Fouls past has been hidden and locked away from the American people, so it's obvious that there is a great deal of fear on the democrats side of the truth.

Is the writer certifiably insane — or just a neoNazi?

[Lee'sGhost]

So...Obama is trying to destroy Israel for his own reasons?

Nobody is smearing Obama...excepting Obama.

Another Paid Liar, who thinks he’s ‘building up credits’ by playing nice with this Administration. The only thing those ‘credits’ will buy you is a little room ‘under the bus’ with all the other suckers.

[mountn man]

I think you need something for people to notice the date published.

What Obama paranoia? The Jewish Press (and Orthodox paper, btw) has just endorsed all liberal Democrats again for next week's election.

I don't see any Obama paranoia.
