Obama and the Hate-Mongers
IsraPundit ^ | 4/20/08 | Bill Levinson

Does Barack Obama’s choice of associates make him unfit for office?

Most of us learned this wise fable in grade school, and it is difficult to envision a Harvard lawyer like Barack Obama not being aware of it.

The Farmer and the Stork (Aesop, Translated by George Fyler Townsend)

A FARMER placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. “Pray save me, Master,” he said, “and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers– they are not the least like those of a Crane.” The Farmer laughed aloud and said, “It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company.”

Birds of a feather flock together.

There is no evidence that the stork enabled the storks’ behavior by praising and endorsing them, and he may well have been the victim of what we would now call McCarthyite guilt by association. What must we say, however, of someone who chooses to associate with evildoers while enabling and empowering their evil?

Obama’s not just unfit for office - he’s unfit to live in a free society.

Obama did not get an AMERICAN education during his grade school years. The key to many of Obams’s missteps is the fact that he got his early education in Indonesia where he did not learn the patriotic American culture. In grade school is where we learn to say the Pledge of Allegiance and put our hand over our heart during the National Anthem. We learn thru association with other citizens what it means to be an American and what traditions and symbols are second nature to our way of expressing love of country. Obama not only missed this by getting his early education overseas, he also had a mother who apparently was much more of the world than an American.

Nope...sorry. The stork didn't mindfully choose his company....Obama did. The stork didn't tell all the other species of birds beyond his awareness that their way of living is faulty and call them xenophobes...Obama did.

When evaluating a person with a college degree the first thought that comes to mind is that they are aware...very aware of their own actions.

Obama knew what he was doing, he planned it and he failed.

Barrack aligned himself with, became good friends with and chose as his spiritual advisor a Black Pantheresque radical racist. I was glad to hear the point made on all of the Sunday shows; If McCain was married by a radical white separatist, and his kids baptized by a radical white separatist, he’d be attacked so savagely there wouldn‘t be anything left of his carcass. And rightly so!

Obama has shown accidentally that he is indeed NOT the leader to help heal America‘s racial wounds because if Obama were the next Martin Luther, the next unity leader, the next great racial healer, wouldn’t he be able to make some impact on a very racist, radical church over the course of twenty years? Or is Obama really just a political opportunist who will pander to the worst parts of the American soul to get elected, institute socialism and weaken our hand with Islamofascists?

Signed,
Your Typical White Person

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the pointing finger from these bigoted projectionists.

Enough is enough! The street goes both ways Senator Obama.

Obama's own: Circle of Friends and Supporters, makes clear what type of person he is, what type of change he would bring, and just exactly what it is he is hoping for.
