    If only society will except "HISTORY/FACT" and not "HIS-STORY/FICTION" and realize that there is only ONE race of people on this planet; then the "ASSININE" belief of this and that race will disappear from the many ignorant and totally biased minds in this world. How can Barack Obama have a Jewish problem when Emperor Haile Sellasie is the 325 direct descendant [via DNA] of King David. How can Sen Barack Obama have a Jewish problem when the Lemba tribe of South Africa DNA is linked to the tribe of Aaron OR MOSES'S BROTHER?????????? FACTS- YOU CANNOT ARGUE, ONLY DISCUSS. LET THE DISCUSSION BEGIN. RFFNY1

      What has Obama to do with Haile Selassie? and how do you know he was a descendant of King David?
      Obama seems to have a white problem and his mother was white.

    But didn't Senator Lieberman's staff comment?

    • Posted By: theheyjudeblog @ 06/10/2008 3:59:49 PM

      If by commenting you mean that they said the conversation was friendly, it seems obvious that they were not aware of the trash talking the Obama campaign was doing. There is no context to that comment, and it is clear it was put in there as a foil to try to convey journalistic integrity.
      I, like so many others responding here, was born in the day, but it wasn't yesterday.

    Anything but American and Christian: Read a REAL STORY from PTI: Spread around :
    Obama seeks Hanuman???s blessing for presidential race
    Press Trust Of IndiaPosted online: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 2236 hrs Print Email
    New York, June 9 : It???s unusual. But, it???s a fact. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic party???s presidential nominee, is seeking the blessings of Hindu god Hanuman in his battle for the White House.


    The 46-year-old senator from Illinois, who defeated his rival Hillary Clinton in an epic 17-month long electoral battle for Democratic party nomination, carries a ???tiny monkey god??? apparently representing ???Hanuman??? with him for good luck.

    A recent photo posted on Time???s White House Photo of the Day collection shows the first ever Black-American nominee of a major US party for the Presidential elections carries with him a bracelet belonging to an American soldier deployed in Iraq, a gambler???s lucky chit, a tiny monkey god and tiny Madonna and child.

    That ???tiny monkey god???, of course, appears to be a statue of the Hindu monkey god

    Myth??? Except with Jewish people...LOL!!!

    I find it very insightful that Senator Lieberman was not sought out for his comments on this article. I would think that Americans are owed more respect for our intelligence than to blindly believe what a campaign thug says off the record. But, it seems that the MSM is taking it's lead from the blogs, and truth no longer matters Oh that's right, you are a part of NBC - 'nuff said.

    Reading all the whinings from the American Jewish Zionists one can not fail to conclude that the American Jewish Zionists believe that America and the world owes them a living.

    Trouble ahead. First for NEWSWEAK,whose job as shield-carriers for Obama has so gotton out of hand that they are now printing either untruths or half-truths[and as we can garner from Claude Rains excellent perfomance in ''Lawrence of Arabia'',a ''man who tells half-truths,doesn't know where he put it'']


    Then with Wolffe,who,as an Obama shill,we can understand. But I expected better from Hosenball.who has gotton into the innuendo racket rather late in the game. To begin with,they never once approached Lieberman himself before they ran with this article.. They went with the dubiously ''pure''source of an Obama staffer instead. Yet what did Joe have to say on the subject when asked by the Obama-backing,liberal,New York Observer on Feb.01,2008?
    ''Yeah,i've heard about it.[Clinton supporters,most notoriously Bob Kerry in a HUFFINGTON article,painting Obama as ''Muslim'']. Everything about Obama tells me that he is a Christian''.

    If I can find this on the Internet in a trice,then where the hell was NEWSWEAK on this? Hosenball and Wolffe. You people must understand that such yellow journalism ,even performed in a manner as to add lustre to the candidate of your choosing[rendering you not ''journalists'',but ''opinion-editorial''writers],makes all that you do and say in the future suspect. As we speak,PEWs People and the Press has a new poll which finds that whatever small trust the American people have in the media is being run into the ground,with more than four in five Americans stating flatly that they do not trust the press. You people made this scene by such as the above garbage.

    My friend was at a Shabbat dinner in San Franscisco with a group of well-educated Jewish individuals and was horrified at their misinformation. She said they constantly repeated the 'Barack Obama is a Muslim because of his name' . It makes me wonder how they would feel if people judged Jewish individuals based upon their names.

    Oh wait! People already do. It's the epitome of the cliche about people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.

      Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim....man thick headed Obamabots. Obama is bye bye in November and the DNC is bye bye too......read my lips ...Obama will raise your taxes even out of a stone if he has to !!

      "well- educated" you say? If they believe Obama is a muslim based on his name....they are idiots, i don't care who they are or waht schools they attended. All this talk about Obama being a muslim, he isn't, but so what if he was??? Is it suddenly acceptable to hate millions of people based on the ignorant actions of a few people? If that is the case, then the world should hate all Americans for the actions of our current leader, President Bush and his administration. Oh...wait...THEY ALREADY DO! Wakeup America, if we don't elect Obama...we are 100%, no questions asked, SCREWED!!!

    Obama, no Jewish problem? Only at Newsweek could they consider us so stupid. You guys take the cake. Get an Obama aide's memo, and you print it. That's journalism. Well, you can wave your wands, but increasingly, as polls recently showed, the public ain't buying.

  • Posted By: Dolores Fleming @ 06/10/2008 10:46:28 AM

    Obama will never make president.he has no experience.He has been up in Washington three years as a senator and has said with his big mouth that he never got into Washington but he knew it needed a change.He must of been out of the loop as george H Bush has said.Obama know nothing about Forieng affairs.He even thought that When Hillary visited 80 countries on her own that she was on a vacation.She visited and meet the leaders of those countries.He said that he would talk to the leaders of other countries.Only if they are Allies of this country.Obama is all talk and no substance.he is a muslim his spokes person Gibbs has said he was a muslim but not a practicing oneEvenhis middle name says so (Hussien).

    • Posted By: Mimi13 @ 06/10/2008 3:02:33 PM

      If a person's name is the deciding factor regarding race and religion, do you really think all those little Jacob's running around nursery schools are Jewish? Are all the young Dakota's and Cheyenne's Native American? Are all the Sean's Irish (Sean Combs might be surprised at this!). Chandra is a name that's becoming more popular and it's a Hindu name -- are all the little girls so named automatically Hindu? Years ago knew a boy named Faz. His family was from Syria but they were Roman Catholics. Are you saying that practicing the Catholic faith was all a sham for this boy -- that he was really a Muslim at heart because of his name? Surely you must see how nonsensical this is.

    Obama must be given credit, he did a 180 on the issue of an Undivided Jerusalem after 48 hours. At least it was not after he was elected. I personally hope he never is.

  • Posted By: Ignoramus @ 06/10/2008 1:54:04 PM

    The American Jewish Zionists never miss an opportunity to cash in on the holocost and antisemitism real or imaginary.
    Here they are crucifying Obama for his race and the Moslems for their faith.
    History has shown over and over the inability of the Zionist Jews to be good or loyal citizens of any country. Their pretensions to superiority renders them unable to get along with the rest of the citizens.

    How this John Mccain know about ECONOMY?let alone about climate change, In 1951, the family settled in Northern Virginia, and McCain attended Episcopal High School , a private preparatory boarding school in Alexandria.McCain had conflicts with higher-ups, and he was disinclined to obey every rule, which contributed to a low class rank.McCain did well in academic subjects that interested him, such as literature and history, but studied only enough to pass subjects he didn't like, such as math.Immediately after HIGH SCHOOL he enrolled and following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, McCain entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.This his HIGHEST qualification when Military commissioned him as Naval Officer.(Perharps he's lucky with his family military BackGround where he's now IF NOT he's just like other VETs working for Security Company ).those thinks he's perfect candidate to President ? God Bless America..!!. He shall screw up everythings worst then Bush. He's a Good Pony Rides for any Washington LOBBYIST.

    jamrock66, there's one major flaw in your knowledge. none of the members of the different faiths you've listed below recognize Allah, God, or Jahovah as one-in-the-same. Christians obviously believe the path to God is through Crist, Jews believe in the name of God which the know as Jahovah and no other, and Muslims follow Muhammed on the path to Allah while Crist was merely a profit. Point - Your "knowledge" is wrong.

    From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my
    mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to
    suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to
    whites.'

    From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in
    nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity
    against my mothers race.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about
    him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself,
    maybe. And white.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to
    prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to
    the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men
    and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It
    was into my father's image, the black man, son of
    Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought
    in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm,
    DuBois and Mandela.'

    From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims
    should the political winds shift in an ugly
    direction.'

    [For the small minority of Newsweek's readership who still value accurate news reporting over partisan advocacy] National Review Online totally demolishes this story.
    It is really sad to see so much of the media drop even the pretense of neutrality or even handedness. I hope it backfires on them before the election and independent voters react negatively to the effort to manipulate them. If the media succeed and get Obama elected, I can only hope the public holds them responsible for the ensuing disaster.

    Does unaware hold meaning for some people. There are people in Mexico with the name Omar and in Spain some women are named Fatimah... these people are not Muslim, it is just a name. Names don't always represent belief. The ignorance of some people is beyond bewildering. Someone should take their keyboards away.
    Obama at least seems like an honest politician( though that might sound like a contradiction in these times).
    His tax cut deal seems worth a try and more realistic for fixes "Bush and Friends" mistake that only the ignorant and blind would deny, but if your rich and a oil tycoon then choose McBush... I mean McCain.
