Ah…. so we see that the purpose of Jack Nelson’s post was to demonstrate his inability to distinguish propaganda from reality, past or present.

Why don’t you just say you’d like Israel annihilated, Jack? Is it so hard to do that?

Michael Hess (#2) – while you might not believe or understand this, I know many white Americans who voted for Obama simply because he is black… out of a sense of guilt or because they decided it was time. Whatever the reason, they didn’t do their homework on him and just accepted that whatever he said during the campaign would change to what THEY “hoped” he would do, and still they voted for him ONLY because he is black… call that racism if you will. I call it stupidity.

David Thomson is completely accurate in his assessment – a white man with the same sort of background and campaign rhetoric would NOT have made it past the Democrat primary, much less been elected president.

George Washington on Israel

“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.” ~George Washington Farewell Address

“The nation which indulges toward another habitual hatred or habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interests.” ~ George Washington

“Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

I also have read a good many of David Horowitz’s books with admiration and pleasure, and can’t understand what’s what with him in his takes on Obama. Anyway, here’s a link to Melanie Phillips well worth reading:

“President Obama’s history is, as usual, defective.”

President Barack Obama never intensely studied history. And what does he know personally about racial discrimination? Obama was born on August 4, 1961 and was therefore sixteen years old by 1977. There is something very important that guilt tripped and gullible whites should know: most of America’s racial troubles were effectively over by that time! Also, Obama was living in the multi-racial and multi-ethnic state of Hawaii. The deep South was utterly alien to this fairly affluent teenager. Obama was never a “victim.” On the contrary, he appeared to be something of indulged yuppie living the good life and without a care in the world.

Satloff is right. There is no similarity between the situation of Negroes in the United States and that of the Arabs who live in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. President Obama’s history is, as usual, defective. The United States, in a bitter civil war, ended slavery in 1865. The racial segregation statutes in the southern states were gradually struck down in the 1950s and 1960s, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The Arabs (i.e. Muslims) have been fighting Jews in the old Palestine Mandate since 1920, originally under the leadership of Haj Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, later ally of Adolf Hitler. The dispute is one of religion.

“This is the number one reason why such an intellectually shallow and inexperienced man is president of the United States. A white candidate would not have survived the early rounds of the Democratic Party’s selection process.”

Nothing but pure racist drivel. I’m sorry I stumbled upon this site.

“an empathetic description of Palestinian life under “occupation” as “intolerable”; a blunt call for a “stop” to Israeli settlements; and an affirmation of U.S. support for, and his own personal commitment to, Palestinians having a “state of their own”

—Robert Satloff

Robert Satloff provides a vastly superior analysis than David Horowitz. Barack Obama does not have a clear understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict if he perceives the latter as victims of an intolerable occupation. The Palestinians are responsible for their own plight. They free chose to be anti-Semites and persist in picking abysmally awful leaders. The Palestinians are in need of some “tough love” and not sentimental, excuse making gibberish.

David Horowitz is normally a profound thinker. I have often praised his many books—and own about ten of them. Furthermore, I make a point to visit the wonderful Front Page Magazine blog on a daily basis. Horowitz seems, however, unable to be rational concerning Obama. He instead appears to be something of guilt tripped white dude. The fact that Obama is a man of color overwhelms him. A short time ago, Horowitz also argued that mortgage industry crisis had little to do with the government forcing lenders to provide mortgages to minorities possessing poor credit histories. Thomas Sowell’s newest book, The Housing Boom And Bust, contradicts Horowitz’s bewildering view of the matter. It is a must read.

The Barack Obama phenomenon is all about his taking advantage of white guilt. This is the number one reason why such an intellectually shallow and inexperienced man is president of the United States. A white candidate would not have survived the early rounds of the Democratic Party’s selection process. We are now royally screwed.
