Obama and Brzezinski—Ill-Suited and Sending a Mixed Message to Jews
U.S. News and World Report ^ | May 28,2008 | Bonnie Erbe

If Sen. Barack Obama wants to make nice-nice with the Jewish community, the last person he should be allowing to make public proclamations about Jews, no matter how tenuous that person's connection to the Obama presidential campaign, is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, has long been viewed suspiciously by American Jews.

And yet the week after Obama flew to Florida to woo a Jewish audience by extolling Israel's 60th anniversary, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who has endorsed Obama and advised him on foreign policy, accused members of the American Jewish establishment of "McCarthyism" in their attitude toward critics of Israel. Why go nuclear when Brzezinski could have blazed with less destructive weapons?

Does the Obama campaign control every word that comes out of Brzezinski's mouth? Of course not. But as long as he's a prominent foreign policy consultant to the campaign, Obama's staff does at the very least wield the power to apply the occasional duct tape where necessary concerning issues of great importance to the Jewish community.

BHO is going to lose big if he keeps this up. The last thing I would do is bring in Carterites.

Brzezinski is chairman of the “Anti-Semites For Obama Committee.” Pastor Wright and Al Sharpton are spiritual advisors for the committee.

Barry’s real message to the Jewish people is “Don’t Vote for me or you’ll really see a thing or two!” Would the Jewish people have voted for Herr Goebbels? If he told them they where getting new showers, I bet they would.

Big shocker that Obama would turn to Brezinski. Obama’s policies, domestic and foreign, are indistinguishable from Carter’s. But Obama is pretty and speaks well, so I guess it’ll turn out differently this time!

this is the dhim’s problem... Keep BHO and alienate the Jewish voters or give Hildebeast the nod and the black will leave in droves. The real problem is that the Jewish voters DO vote and at a much higher percentage than blacks. The Jewish vote will either stay home or vote McLame. BHO is toast in the general.

As a conservative Republican Jew, I think this is great news. Liberals have always been anti-Semites hiding the fact from Liberal Jews who are clueless that they are being used. Let the exposure and truth begin!!!
