Introducing the Zogby family - James, John, and Joseph.
James (Jim) Zogby is founder of the Arab American Institute and also writes for Huffington Post.
Before founding the Arab American Institute, Zogby created the Palestine Human Rights Commission as the propaganda arm of the Palestine Liberation Organization, a terrorist group responsible for murdering thousands, including 11 Israeli athletes, at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The PLO was created in 1964 with the goal of destroying the Jewish presence in Palestine.
Like CAIR, Zogbys Arab American Institute bills itself as an Arab American civil rights organization that spends a great deal of its time squelching criticism of Arab and Islamic terrorism, and inhibiting our governments efforts to prevent another attack like Sept. 11, 2001.
Zogbys rationalization of Hamas and Hizbollah should also raise eyebrows.
In the mid-1990s, Zogby stated that it was important to view Hamas terrorism against Israelis as an understandable part of a cycle of violence. He stressed the importance of trying to understand why the [Hamas] perpetrators acted as they did or why there are people whose anger and despair bring them to support this or that crime. Also in that decade, Zogby extolled the Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon, referring to them as the Lebanese armed resistance source
Zogbys Arab American Institute election web page (screen shot included in case it disappears) includes the transcript of a 2007 address to AAI by Barack Obama, who begins by stating:
Hello, everyone. Let me begin by congratulating your president and my good friend, Jim Zogby, for his work in putting together this conference. Its an honor to have his support.
James Zogby is the brother of John Zogby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zogby International. Brother Jim is also a senior analyst for the company widely recognized for its Zogby Polls. Did you catch that? The founder of pro-Palestinian organizations is a senior analyst at a leading polling organization in the U.S. Could any of James anti-American, pro-Arab bias be reflected in his poll results?
I agree. Since when do the pollsters start giving advice to the candidates on debate night?
I wish Sean would throw thee guys under the bus. They are NOT NEEDED at all. They and the MSM have manipulated this election for their own benefit, and like the MSM, their words have become gospel for the masses. Lose their numbers.
Zogby needs to mind his own business in matters he knows nothing about. If anything, Obama needs to show respect for Senator McCain. He's the one who called him "John" in the first debate. I was brought up to have respect for my elders. Obviously, Obama was never taught that. Secondly, McCain's seniority in the Senate should be respected by a freshman Senator who hasn't earned the privilege to lick John McCain's shoes.
We are fighting SOCIALISTS, not our peers.
