Obama's pastor reprinted Hamas essay
JTA ^

Barack Obama's controversial pastor reprinted an article by a Hamas leader in the church's newsletter.

In an issue dated July 22, 2007, in a section titled "Pastor's Page," the church reprinted an article by Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook in which he justifies Hamas' withholding of recognition of Israel's right to exist. The article originally appeared as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times.

Dov Hikind, a New York state assemblyman, issued a news release condemning the Democratic presidential candidate's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., and calling on Obama to sever his ties with Wright and his church, Trinity United Church in Chicago.

This will really be a plus for Obama with Jewish voters.

They’re going to break hard for McCain once Obamarama-ding-dong sews up the Democrat nomination.

Nope. Depends on what “carry” means. A majority? Certainly. But the percentage is important. Jewish Americans vote Dem at aprox 85 % IIRC. Reagan carried 40 %. Bush 2004 28%.
Hillary would carry probably above 80%. McCain, if running against Obama, however could easily get 40-50 %. He is quite popular with politically moderately liberal Jews.

I disagree. Liberal Jewish voters have been betrayed by Barry as much as grandma was...the young Jewish civil rights workers are pretty darn angry about all of this, and here is a short work by one of them.

The Witch got elected to her Senate seat with the heavy support of NY Jewish voters, my guess is that whatever they liked, Jews across the US will probably favor.

Besides, who more than Jews are going to seriously worry about his middle name?

Now, in the general election, it's anybody's guess who they will go for, but most of the Jewish vote is concentrated in Blue states that will vote Rat, anyway.

They celebrated the death and destruction of many Americans on 9-11-2001. and with Obama so sure on voting against the war in Iraq, though he has never seen classified documents President Bush has, shows Obama is too easily influenced and gullible to be trusted with America’s Military.

Would Obama take the oath of office for Americans or Reverend Wright’s congregation?

Ah, here is the retort - “Hamas, like the Reverend Wright, has done many good things for the poor....”

That is, of course correct, and Hitler made the trains run on time....

Except for Florida. Without a large majority of Jewish voters in Florida, Obama can't win that state, IMO. Imagine shifting 10-15% of FL Jewish votes away from Gore in 2000. Wouldn't have been a close race at all. That has the potential to affect races all the way down the ticket in many states.

This is an issue that is yet to be explored - I've only heard it mentioned once or twice on talk radio shows. Jews are keeping their powder dry in hopes that Hillary will manage to steal the nomination. If she doesn't, this will become another bugaboo for Democrats.

A notable exception, and that's why I used the word most. You're right about Florida being a true swing state, Al Bore would have been elected President if Janet Reno hadn't sent stormtroopers in to toss Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba.

If either he had perished along with his mother on that inner tube, or she had lived along with him and would have retained custody once they got to Florida, history would have been changed. One tiny piece of inflated rubber altered the course of the world; amazing, isn't it?

Well, I have trouble believing that a merciful deity would have let a child’s mother die under such circumstances, but perhaps I don’t really understand the term “mysterious ways”...
