In an editorial in todays paper, The New York Times misrepresents an anti-Obama message, which it claims amounted to character assassination.
One of its targets is an e-mailing sent by a group of Pennsylvania Jewish activists to 75,000 Jewish voters in the Keystone state, warning of the dangers of an Obama presidency.
According to The Times, the e-mailing equates a vote for Barack Obama with the tragic mistake of Jews who ignored the warning signs of the Holocaust. This implies the communication suggested that Obama would somehow facilitate another Holocaust.
It did no such thing. The e-mailing, from a retired Jewish judge and other respected members of the community, commended John McCain as a friend of Israel and a foreign-policy realist who would help to keep Israel safe.
The Holocaust warning was in reference to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who says he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
The communication also noted, again correctly, that Sen. Obama has said Hamas and Hezbollah (Irans terrorist allies, whove spent decades murdering Jews) have legitimate claims.
Worse, the Democratic candidate has offered to meet with the genocidal madmen who run Iran without precondition.
That President Obama would endanger the Jewish state with a naïve approach to an enemy pledged to its annihilation, is a reasonable conclusion.
For The New York Times to call this character assassination goes beyond hyperbole. In seeking to expose what it terms the seasons slimiest political messages, The New York Times itself has slimed a group whose only crime was to tell the truth about the Times favorite candidate.
Re your pic:
A Proverbs 31 woman. Esther, in the flesh.
God bless her and protect her, and her lovely family.
“Having an opinion which differs from the left is now tantamount to character assassination.
Pathetic doesnt begin to describe it.”
This is how the left operates. It’s nothing new. Since they can’t defend their indefensible positions, they move right into full scale character assassination of whoever raises points of disagreement.

People forget that leaving was not an option for many. The antisemites in the State Department consistantly made sure taht despite demand, the number of refugees from Europe were always well below the hard quotas.
I'm well aware of that. At least some of those State Dept. bureaucrats were appointees of the great hero of all too many Jews, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This subject is covered at length in the book "While Six Million Died," by Arthur D. Morse, published back in the 1960s.
I’ve read the book. Also my godfather, Shalom Asch’s son, had some first hand stories to tell. He worked for the American Council in France, first in Paris and then Vichy. He was eventually fired for being a leak regarding the mistreatment of Jews. Right up to 1941, the sob’s at state were currying favor with the Nazis.
