McPeak on Display (Obama's Anti-Semitic Campaign Chairman)
American Spectator ^ | Robert M. Goldberg

Posted on 03/25/2008 7:09:12 PM PDT by nj26

Last week, Barack Obama's military adviser and national campaign co-chairman Merrill "Tony" McPeak accused former President Bill Clinton of "using divisive tactics and unfairly trying to question Barack Obama's patriotism." McPeak, a former chief of staff of the Air Force, previously supported Howard Dean and then John Kerry. He has campaigned for Obama and cut commercials claiming that Obama has the "right stuff" to be Commander in Chief...

Well, it is likely that Obama will soon be having to retract Merrill McPeak. McPeak, who was arrested last year for driving under the influence, apparently has a problem controlling more than his thirst for fermented beverages. He also has a penchant for bashing Israel or, more particularly, Jews who oppose negotiating with terrorists.

McPeak has a long history of criticizing Israel for not going back to the 1967 borders as part of any peace agreement with Arab states. In 1976 McPeak wrote an article for Foreign Affairs magazine questioning Israel's insistence on holding on to the Golan Heights and parts of the West Bank...

In recent years McPeak has echoed the Mearsheimer-Walt view that American Middle East policy is being controlled by Jews at the expense of America's interests in the region....

The interviewer asked McPeak: "So where's the problem? State? White House?"

McPeak replied: "New York City. Miami. We have a large vote -- vote, here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it."

Translation (as if it's needed): Jews -- who put Israel over every American interest -- control America's policy on the Middle East. And McPeak has the audacity to accuse Bill Clinton of McCarthyism.

McPeak also claims that a combination of Jews and Christian Zionists are manipulating U.S. policy in Iraq in dangerous and radical ways...

Best bit was when (forgot his name!) his replacement as Chief of Staff showed up in the OLD AF uniform.

Sad to say, most American Jews are so stinkin’ liberal they don’t give a crap about the homeland. If Obama is the nominee, he’ll still get 65% of the Jewish vote.

True so true! But still it is very sad how ugly this election has gotten. Of course however, it is time to see the dems for what they really are.

And I still remember the rationale for the v-neck: he got sick of seeing worn-out collars on the crew-neck t-shirt.

So rather than jumping on the NCOs to ensure that their people have serviceable uniforms, he changes the uniform.

Duh.

When was this guy in the Air Force and did he ever have a command or run a combat operation?

As a colonel, he was the wing commander of the 20 TFW at Upper Heyford, UK back in 1980/81. He got his 1st star as he left there.

Thanks for the ping, Shermy! McPeak's comments remind me of Jesse Jackson's faux pas reference to New York in the 1984 campaign.
