Obama Campaign Withdraws From Two Jewish Debates
Thursday, October 16, 2008 By: Suzanne Kurtz
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Executive Director Matt Brooks issued the following statement today: Now that the Presidential debates are over, the Obama campaign is trying to cancel all remaining debates in the Jewish community that include the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Claiming they do not like recent RJC advertisements, the Obama campaign has formally instructed all of its representatives to cancel their scheduled appearances with any representative of the RJC. Former Congressman Mel Levine (CA) yesterday informed the Valley Cities Jewish Community Center that he would no longer show up for his scheduled debate this Sunday against RJC California Director Larry Greenfield. State Representative Josh Shapiro (PA) informed Temple Sinai that he would not participate in a forum with RJC Philadelphia Director Scott Feigelstein.
"The RJC is deeply troubled by this effort on the part of the Obama campaign to stifle and limit a debate on the important issues facing our country," said Brooks. "More than anything the Jewish community values dialogue. What is the Obama campaign afraid of? Why is the Obama campaign afraid to have this conversation?"
"With their recently enacted policy of not debating representatives of the RJC, the Obama campaign has underscored Senator Obama's problems in the Jewish community. It is unfortunate that the Obama campaign is unwilling and afraid to have a candid conversation on the issues of great concern to Jewish voters," said Brooks.
"Throughout this campaign, the RJC has highlighted the truth about Obama's positions, his statements and his advisers. Every point raised in our ads is sourced, cited and has previously been reported in the media. We ask legitimate questions about Obama's policies towards Israel, the Middle East and Iran. Our ads have raised legitimate concerns over Obama's associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley, Tony McPeak and David Bonior. If the Obama campaign is unhappy with our ads, then Senator Obama should never have associated with these individuals in the first place," Brooks added.
"Currently, the RJC is scheduled to participate in 29 debates between now and the election. In keeping with the long-standing tradition of Jewish dialogue, we look forward to these opportunities to engage the Jewish community on the critical issues," said Brooks.

Very interesting that Barack Hussein Obama does not want to chat openly with the Jewish community if the Jewish Republican view is part of that conversation.

It seems that the Obama folks didn't get their help from Sara Silverman.

[Righting]

I don’t blame his advisers, he’d be sure losing on ANY debate when it comes to anti-Jewish racism, or the modern term “anti-zionism” greased up by Islamic oil.

“Claiming they do not like recent RJC advertisements”

It’s time to boycott every Obama supporter.

Hopefully this is easier to read.

[CanadianMusherinMI]

[bayliving]

Yup!

This is a SURE FIRED way to win over the undecided Jewish BLOCK vote!

I guess he already has the election won so he doesn't need to be bothered with those silly people!

Nobama shows his true colors daily....

[Caipirabob]

The Obama folks are taking their ball, and their going home.

They've already had ACORN register and vote for those RJC guys five times each for Obama anyways...

[ncfool]

Here is the one that upset the Barack Hussein Obama Campaign folks.....

[showme_the_Glory]

BO and his boyz hate the joooos.

[Salamander]

If he had balls, he’d take them and go home.

[illiac]

LOL!!!

[TommyDale]

Jethie Jackthon did a number on Obama’s campaign with Jewish voters.

[SatinDoll]

The Obama campaign is running scared. They have lost the Jewish vote. Frankly I believe they lost most Jewish support when it became public knowledge they, the Obama Campaign, accepted donations from Muslim & Palestinian terrorist groups and Black Muslim organizations.

I predict that if Obama loses this election he will do what Odinga did in Kenya: insist that he actually won, that the election was stolen from him because of his race [Odinga used his tribe as the excuse], and then Obama will encourage widespread violence in an attempt to overthrow the United States.

Yes! You read that correctly. Because folks, that is exactly what Obama and Odinga planned for Kenya. You can read about it at World Net Daily.

But it won’t work here. There will be a bloody mess but Obama will not prevail. WE WON’T LET THAT HAPPEN.

I'm taking your ball and going home if you won't play by my rules!

This is not surprising. This is a retreat tactic designed to provide a shield of defense around the campaign. They know they have seriesly offended the Jewish community and can not afford any missteps. Their hope is they can run out the clock on any new damning information. The fact of the matter is ironically “Joe the Plumber” has and will energize the on the fence sitters who truly love this country. These America lovers know that 0bamba is surrounded by 100% America haters.

[Danae]

Obama is afraid of open dialogue because it exposes him for what he is.... The return of a marxist Socialist.

I fear Obama may end up as bad as __________ . I just can’t bring my self to say the name. But it starts with an H and ends with an r.

[mrvirgo]

Maybe the “Rev.” Jackson can give Nobamba some points on the topic?
