Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama is currently hiding his anti-Israel views in order to get elected, according to a well-known anti-Israel activist. The activist, Ali Abunimah, claimed to know Obama well and to have met him on numerous occasions at pro-Palestinian events in Chicago.

Hussein Obama has a 95% support among savvy Arab Americans and an 85% support among moron, sheep like, self destructive American Jews.

Looks like Shep should have done his research before jumping on Joe the Plumber today about Obama’s attitude towards Israel.

I left the headline and link to the article in Drudge’s News Tips Box! Hopefully it will help put the heat on the LA Times to release the tape they are spiking...

Good idea, I will:)

Hussein Obama has a 95% support among savvy Arab Americans and an 85% support among moron, sheep like, self destructive American Jews.

I don't believe the latter. Many Jews may tell pollsters that so as not to appear racist, but they cannot vote for a candidate who is such an enemy of the 5.5 million (?) Jews of Israel.

I could point out that my circle does not support B. Hussein Obama, however, that consists of family members and friends along with the Orthodox I know.

ARTICLE SNIPPET from the link in post no. 1:

“Abunimah’s report included a photo of Obama with his wife Michelle seated at a table with virulently anti-Israeli Professor Edward Said and his wife Mariam, in what Abunimah said was a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Said gave the keynote speech.

In an interview earlier this year for the leftist radio show “Democracy Now!,” a daily TV and radio news program hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Abunimah said he knew Obama for many years as his state senator “when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community in Chicago all the time.””

[Ooh-Ah]

In an article he penned for the anti-Israeli website Electronic Intifada, titled How Barack Obama learned to love Israel, Abunimah wrote:

“The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.

“As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered,

‘Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race.’

I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.’ He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy [and said:] ‘Keep up the good work!’”

Abunimah’s report included a photo of Obama with his wife Michelle seated at a table with virulently anti-Israeli Professor Edward Said and his wife Mariam, in what Abunimah said was a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Said gave the keynote speech.

In an interview earlier this year for the leftist radio show “Democracy Now!,” a daily TV and radio news program hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Abunimah said he knew Obama for many years as his state senator “when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community in Chicago all the time.”

“I remember personally introducing him onstage in 1999, when we had a major community fundraiser for the community center in Deheisha refugee camp in the occupied West Bank,” he recounted. “And that’s just one example of how Barack Obama used to be very comfortable speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation.”

Man... its hard for him to keep the BS going when he lies to everyone. How can right thinking people believe a word Obama says?

Eventually, everyone will figure out this guy is a fake and then the manure hits the fan. Hopefully, he won't have had time to make any Supreme Court appointments!
