Who Does Number Two Work For?
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 1:35 PM
McCain Blogger Michael Goldfarb is taking some heat for telling CNN's Rick Sanchez that "we both know who number two is" when asked to name an anti-Semite that Obama hangs around other than Kahlid Rashidi. Maybe Goldfarb could have been a little more straightforward, but Sanchez is definitely being willfully ignorant here, because we ALL KNOW WHO NUMBER TWO IS…



Update:  …of course, they could have been talking about Khalid al-Mansour, who helped Obama get into Harvard. (the anti-semitism is 1:08 into the video).



…or they could be talking about this guy, who thinks Obama is "the Messiah." (Adam Brickley tells me that he also "needs a crash course on Ashkenazic Jewish History")



So, we now have "Number Two", "Number Three", and "Number Four". How's that, Mr. Sanchez.

Goldfarb looks like an idiot. And Jeremiah Wright is not an anti-Semite.

what in Hades would you call Wright then? Of course he is an anti-semite. Is water wet?
csprings writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 2:03 PM
wright is very successful
at keeping the blacks of his church oppressed, unhappy, dependent and angry. And to add insult to injury, he moves into a mansion in a predominantly white neighborhood. An anti-semite, a racist and a fraud.

ADL Chief To Obama: ‘Confront Your Pastor’ On Minister Farrakhan
by Larry Cohler-Esses
http://www.thejewishweek.com/viewArticle/c37_a2220/News/Nat ional.html
The Obama statement distanced the senator from a decision by his church’s magazine to honor Farrakhan with an award named for his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
....
In the November/December issue of the Trinity United Church of Christ’s Trumpet Magazine, published just prior to the award ceremony, Rev. Wright — who Obama credits with bringing him to Christianity, presiding over his wedding ceremony, baptizing his daughter and dedicating his Chicago home — states: "When Minister Farrakhan speaks, Black America listens. Everybody may not agree with him, but they listen. ... His depth on analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation is astounding and eye opening. He brings a perspective that is helpful and honest.

"Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and 21st century giants of the African American religious experience," Rev. Wright declares.

According to ADL, as recently as Nov. 7, in a speech at his Chicago mosque one month prior to the Chicago church’s awards ceremony, Minister Farrakhan sermonized, "Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET [Black Entertainment Television network]? ... Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan now is running the record industry, movie industry and television. And they make us look like we’re the murder[er]s; we look like we’re the gangsters, but we’re punk stuff."

It will be extraordinarily ironic if

Obama, Jr. should win the POTUS through the efforts of Jewish voters.

United Trinity Church employs a racist and anti-semite pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.....
Same church honors the biggest racist and anti-semite of them all, Louis Farrakhan.....
Barack Obama attends this church for over 20 years.......
"The One" claims he NEVER heard this kind of rhetoric.......
RIGHT!!!!!!
Obama is either a dishonest liar or a gullible fool......
Me thinks BOTH!!!!!!!
animalgirl writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 3:03 PM
Ummm
So since Farrakhan was given an award with Wright's name (not for anti-semitism, but for work within the black community), that means Wright, also, he an Anti-Semite.

Yeah. So I guess by your logic, Cecil Rhodes must have been a philanderer, a lesbian, and an excellent songwriter.
animalgirl writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 3:06 PM
Can someone
please produce the evidence that Jeremiah Wright is an Anti-Semite?

It seems that the surrogates don't want to say it publicly--they'd rather just infer it, since they don't have any real proof, they just want to instigate rumors.

Conservative this years have become truly pathetic. And I do pity y'all. It must be crappy to believe something so whole-heartedly, and see it completely rejected by your countrymen.

I wonder--will dissent be patriotic when Obama is president? Will conservatives still believe that they must blindly follow the Commander in Chief, else they won't be supporting the troops?

Hannity has said if you criticize a president in a time of war you are a traitor. Will you still believe that when there is a president Obama?

Reaganac writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 3:47 PM
Funny and Sad........
When people choose to bury their heads in the sand! Barack Obama attended that church all these years, and never heard Wright preach his hateful sermons...we should believe that!

He has been friends with and spent alot more than meetings and conferences in the company of Bill AYers...Khalid Rashidi, and other people with Anti-American values and interests, but it in no way impacts his judgement or influences him.....we should believe that!

Kahlid Al Mansour helped him get into Harvard,he views Louis Farrakan as someone Black America should look up to....we should understand that...


Well guess what...I don't , I won't, and I pray to god that this election is not lost to the Dumb Asses in the Democratic party falling for this guys "swampland for sale BS story" !!!!

Black Liberation Theology is anti-semitic as much as it is anti-white. It's 'creator' was steeped in Marxism. Wright preaches BLT and Obama went to his church for over 20 years. You can try being blind to this if you want but it doesn't change the facts.

Where does it say Hussein is a Muslim terrorist? He is simply anti-white and an anti-semite as evidenced by his going to a BLT church for 22 years. That doesn't translate into being a terrorist but it does mean he is a piece of garbage.

no criticism will be allowed.
"Hannity has said if you criticize a president in a time of war you are a traitor. Will you still believe that when there is a president Obama?"

No because when Obama is president no criticism will be allowed. Look what happened to Joe the Plumber under Democrats in Ohio just for asking a question. Can you imagine what will become of Joe when Obama has the full faith and power of the US behind him.

Obama is a Marxist and most of the non liberal voters who will vote for him don't even understand what that means to this economy.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that you are in the anti-semite camp yourself. That makes you a piece of garbage also, but you are in some pretty good company so don't let it bother you too much.

March for McCain
I and another member of teamsarah.org, are organizing a (last-minute) NATIONAL ‘MARCH’ for McCain/Palin 2008 this Sunday, called the ‘MILLION MCCAIN MARCH’. We are planning for every city in every state to be represented to show our support for the McCain/Palin candidacy (and some perhaps just opposed to the Obama/Biden one). We are absolutely appalled at the overwhelming bias of the liberal media, and we’re making our ’silenced’ voices heard this Sunday. While there will surely be other rallies throughout the next few days, this is a concerted effort for a NATIONAL CALL OF SUPPORT, and to oppose the policies of the Democratic candidate. I myself am a registered Independent, who would have voted for Hillary Clinton, and due to her ‘defeat’ of the nomination, and the utter disrespect which Obama showed to her and Bill Clinton, will be voting for McCain/Palin. There is also a website, puma08.com, which has ALOT of angry Hillary voters who are voting for McCain/Palin. We would GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT for this endeavor, and would love to have a NATIONAL FRONT to oppose the Obama INFOMERCIAL.
Thank you for your informative reporting, and again, please help by giving us a ‘plug’.
Sincerely,
Brooke Emery

MARCH for MCCAIN!

Sunday, November 2, starting at 12 noon, in EVERY city and state in America, McCain supporters will join in showing their support for their candidates.

If you would like to be a part of this National show of support for McCain/Palin 2008 for the MILLION MCCAIN MARCH, please email millionmccainmarch@yahoo.com, to coordinate meeting times and places.

American Secular Jews
I am more worried about a lasting effect that the BHO presidency will have in defense of Israel. Let's face it, the overwhleming support of American Jews for this man is a direct assault against Christian conservatives. They are effectively saying, en masse, "We'd rather trust the man who was propelled to power by enemies of Israel and anti semites, than American Christians." Any Jew who thinks American support of Israel is a fate accompli or entitlement is simply mistaken. And I fear they will learn, yet again, the hard way, that they should pay close attention to the past rhetoric and writings (even if they have to hunt for them with a complicit press hiding it) of their leaders.

Good grief. All my Jewish neighbors have Obama signs in their lawns. It is an Obamaniation within the secular jewish community that I fear will haunt Israel for decades to come.

Manfredo this is from Zogby Poll

The current proportion of U.S. Jews backing Obama is identical to the level of support the Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards received in the 2004 presidential election (74%). It is only slightly lower than what Al Gore and Joe Lieberman received in 2000 (80%) -- when the first Jewish American appeared on the presidential ticket of a major party.

Now, I recall that Bush Won?

The REAL McCain/Palin '08
As a very concerned Christian, I listened to the rhetoric, watched the videos, spent hours reading articles, and looked up some answers to some of my questions. Then I began writing it all down so that I could look at it again.

jewish people are smart enough to see thru the garbage about obama selling out israel to iran. too bad i can't say the same for some of you gentiles. oh well. i guess you can fool most of the right wing most of the time. oh and by the way, there's no better way to endear yourself to the jewish community than hysterically invoking Hitler every chance you get.

LLR
your post proves that jewish people aren't buying into these silly scare tactics about obama selling israel out and being anti-semitic. we are voting for obama at the same rate that we voted for Kerry. hopefully this time, we'll be with the winner. Lord knows we have a much better candidate this time. we'll see.

How sad, if you truly are jewish. I was just reading in Judges today in church where after
Joshua died and that generation died, the Israelites turned away from God. You never learn. Then they chased the idols of the pagans, and now in this election its the same.
Aren't you in the least curious about that tape the L.A. Times is keeping squirreled away? An attendee has said that he said "Israel has no God given right to occupy Palestine." "Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinians."
The witness also said he was laughing and clapping along with them. It was also attended by that neighbor whose adult children are still in school with his two girls.
If this is indeed true, it's no wonder rumors have it that the Obama campaign is worried about the tape.
I'm an evangelical, and I love Israel, those who are committed Christians (unlike Obama's stated commitment to a false Christ) support and pray for Israel yet you hate us. Go figure. You
seem to forget the Gentiles that paid with their lives trying to help Jews during the holocaust, and they came from all denominations.
manfredo writes: Monday, November, 03, 2008 12:28 AM

i regularly read the LA times. they have not released the tape you refer to because they made a promise to their source. if they broke that promise, they would be liable in a court of law. but i bet you know this. so do the people who are making up crazy rumors about the contents of the tape. why not say it has footage of obama molesting children? you know the tape will never be released. you can say whatever you want about it. the bottom line is that without the LA Times reporting on the tape, nobody would even know that it existed. and the only way they could report on the tape was to make an agreement not to release the tape. so you should be thanking the LA Times. but if you were able to understand that, your head would explode.
speaking of rumored tape content, where is that famous tape where michelle obama said "kill whitey" or whatever stupid thing she was supposed to have said? i haven't seen it yet. maybe all rumors are not true.
i don't hate evangelicals. i respect and honor the sacrifices made by gentiles on behalf of jews and freedom and justice. i can honor the sacrifices of gentiles and still vote for obama. i can vote for obama without turning away from God. if you don't see how this is possible, i truly pity you, sir.
