Palestinians in Gaza Are Phonebanking for Barack Obama(not kidding!!)
NRO ^

Posted on 05/13/2008 1:39:27 PM PDT by wsjreader

I transcribed the most jaw-dropping parts:

REPORTER: It may be hard to believe, but working in this tiny Internet cafe in Gaza City may just be one of Barack Obama's biggest fans.

Before every U.S. primary, 23-year-old Ibrahim Abu Jayyab gathers 17 of his friends to try and rally support for Obama's campaign in the U.S.

So why does a young Palestinian living in Gaza spend so much of his time and money on an election thousands of miles away?

ABU JAYYAB: [translated] It all started at the time of the U.S. primaries. After studying Obama's electoral campaign manifesto, I thought, 'this is a man that is capable of change inside America.' As for potential change in the Middle East, he can also do that. I think he can bring peace to the area, or at least this is what we hope.

REPORTER: And the game plan? Ibrahim and his friends call random numbers in the U.S. before every primary to deliver one simple message:

ABU JAYYAB: [in English] Elect Senator Obama. I will change. I will achieve... the justice in the Middle East.

Under a “President Obama” we’ll be sent to the reeducation camps and then the gulags. Obama is a power made Marxist.

This subject is not new. I recall seeing an FR thread about a month ago with a link to a video documenting a Palestinian phone banking operation in Gaza for “Osama” Obama.

And the Barr supporters just ignore this. Unbelievable. They will likely elect this guy and we’ll all go into the toilet.

We're going in the toilet if McCain wins too. I'm leaning towards the philosophy that if we're going to hell in a handbasket, lets make sure the GOP doesn't get the blame for it.

If the Marist Obama is elected you won’t even have a handbasket or anything to put into it. Think Zimbabwe. He is proposing enough federal programs where we will be printing 50 billion dollar notes to buy a loaf of bread if you can find it. Better get ready to boil your boots for food by the time he gets through with us. He will make us pine for the Jimmy Carter days.
