Also compares Muslim terrorists to religious 'radicals' in Oregon
JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama's military adviser and national campaign co-chairman has implied U.S. politicians are afraid of Jewish voters in Miami and New York City and that American Jews are the "problem" impeding a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Merrill A. McPeak, a former Air Force chief of staff, also compared the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations to what he described as religious radicals in Oregon and claimed "born-again [Christians]" supported the war in Iraq to help Israel.
Discussing Middle East politics during a 2003 interview with the Oregonian newspaper McPeak stated, "We don't have a playbook for the Middle East. You know, for instance, obviously, a part of that long-term strategy would be getting the Israelis and the Palestinians together at . . .something other than a peace process. Process is not a substitute for achievement or settlement. And even so the process has gone off the

Too undereducated. Being taught in public schools run by Libbers. Not having any real truthful education in history, as the line goes..they have been doomed to repeat it by the self same types who suffered the pointy ends of the sticks being thrust into their guts before..
Obama would be a disaster as President, but that's way over the top. I grew up as a Jew in Occupied Europe, most of my family was killed in the Holocaust, and I take comparisons to it kind of personally.
Oh yes...Barack Blank Obama and his Not-Yet-Ready-for-Prime-Time Players.
I never knew that and can understand why you would be offended by the remark you quoted.
You have my sympathy and prayers for your loved ones lost.
With that said, I suggest you rethink your support of the propoganda of those that decimated your family. If you know what I mean.
Obama sure knows how to pick his friends, associates and advisers.............
Thanks for that clarification. I’ll never understand why the leftists put forward two of their most over-the-top leftist people in a national campaign. Not the “Audacity of Hope,” the audacity of Hussein presuming he’s somehow qualified to lead this nation in ANY capacity. Has anyone with such naked political polarity and so threadbare a resume ever deigned to lead a major party’s ticket in this country? If European and third world politics didn’t have traditions of being as bad or worse, our nation would be the butt of jokes the world over. Alas for all humanity.
As much as we enjoy seeing the dems strangling themselves on their own petards, they’re merely a symptom of the mindlessness infecting America. I pray, but with diminishing hope, the disease can still be reversed.
It’s either the Jooooos or the FJB’s with Democratic candidates.....
For his info, the Jews are in Broward, and they know Obama was born a a muslim and has prayed to Mecca.
You’re right...ANY mildly appetizing candidate would have won in a landslide...They really are inept.
Was Obama Ever a Muslim?
“I’ve always been a Christian,” said Obama, focusing on his own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama’s full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.
More: family and friends considered him as a child to be Muslim. In “Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School,” Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24, 2007, that
Obama’s mother, divorced from Obama’s father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather. The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering – Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.
Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that
he wasn’t sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim. “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.”
Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times (available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: “Obama has never been a practicing Muslim.” The Times looked into the matter further and learned more about his Indonesian interlude:
His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama’s grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. “We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played,” said Zulfin Adi. … Obama’s younger sister, Maya Soetoro, said in a statement released by the campaign that the family attended the mosque only “for big communal events,” not every Friday.
Recalling Obama’s time in Indonesia, the Times account contains quotes that Obama “went to the mosque,” and that he “was Muslim.”
Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, “I’ve always been a Christian” and “I’ve never practiced Islam.” The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that “Obama never prayed in a mosque.”-Daniel PIpes
It would be nice to have a national election where Jews don’t become an “issue” for a change-somebody always seems to make a controversial remark and then the Jewish groups are “outraged”and demand “repudiation”and by the end of the day evryone is pissed off.As a Jew who would just like to live my life as an average American this can get really tiresome.My answer-McPeak is entitled to his opinion and I am entitled to never vote for the likes of obama or the hildebeast.McPeak seems a little unhinged anyway.
It’s the 1930’s all over again.

Sounds like Nazi Germany; blame the Jews and the masses won’t care when you haul them off.
