Obama launches Hebrew blog to counter 'closet Muslim' campaign
The Hindu ^ | 4/12/2008

Jerusalem, Apr 12 (PTI) Facing a mass e-mail campaign branding him a secret anti-semite and a "closet Muslim", Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has launched a Hebrew blog on his commitment to Israel's security ahead of the crucial vote in Pennsylvania that has a large Jewish community.

An aide to Obama, Eric Lynn, was quoted by daily Ha'aretz as saying that these efforts will help the democratic party leader to strengthen his ties with the Israeli public.

The blog is meant to allay fears among Jews arising out of a mass e-mail campaign which had labelled Obama a secret anti-semite who allegedly took his official oath of office with his hand on the Koran instead of the Bible and a disciple of fiery Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Obama has insisted he has never been a Muslim and is a committed Christian.

The blog, opened ahead of Apr 22 primaries in the key state of Pennsylvania, includes Obama's speech to a pro-Israel lobby in March.

During a debate with rival candidate Hillary Clinton, Obama stressed his "stalwart" support for Israel and his ties to American Jews.

He said he considers Israel to be one of the US' "most important allies in the region (Mideast)" adding, "I think that their security is sacrosanct."

Obama currently leads in the delegate count 1,634-1,500.

Neither Democrat can reach the magical figure of 2,025 needed to win the nomination with the delegates left and the nominee is likely to be chosen by some 800 superdelegates- elected officials and eminent partymen.

Obama is trying to put out the fire after it has already burned down the barn.

The 'Christianity' of Black Liberation Theology - even moreso, that of Obama's Church; is not one's typical Christianity. The 'Jesus' of BLT; is a 'Marxist-revolutionary' Jesus; and carries a 'hate list' not unlike that carried by the less than moderate Muslims.

Hard to distinguish Rev. Wrights pastoral phrophetics from that of Farrakhan or the Marxist hate of the Black Panthers; and that of just 'Joe Jihad' on the streeet.

All he is missing now is a call to his followers to join him in a compound in South America.

An overreaction.

What he really needs is a blog directed to “small town America”.

But is he trying to reach “Typical Bitter Jewish People”? This anti-semitic putz is getting to be a laugh riot. He is a Mt. Vesuvius of stpuid and he erupts on a regular basis.
