ANTI-SEMITES FOR OBAMA

NASHVILLE, TN - The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States.

“It’s time to set the record straight about Barack Obama and where he really stands on vital issues such as national security and the security of Israel,” said Robin Smith, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. “Voters need to know about two items that surfaced today which strongly suggest that an Obama presidency will view Israel as a problem rather than a partner for peace in the Middle East.

On Sunday, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday likened Obama to a new messiah, calling him “the hope of the entire world.” That’s the same Louis Farrakhan who has a history of making openly anti-Semitic statements, calling Judaism a “gutter religion,” and suggesting that crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.

Farrakhan, addressing 20,000 people at the annual Savior’s Day celebration in Chicago, praised the Democrat presidential candidate, calling Obama “The hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”

He also compared Obama to the founder of Islam, remarking that both had a white mother and black father, according to the Associated Press. “A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” Farrakhan said. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”

Obama, (pictured dressed in Muslim attire in a 2006 visit to Africa) has on the campaign trail pledged to rapidly remove American soldiers from Iraq regardless of the resulting instability and the creation of opening that would be filled by Islamic extremists, like Al Qaeda, in Iraq’s government and military.

1. Well it's starting and it's going to get ugly from here on out.

2. And it will get much, much uglier.

The Obama campaign had better hit back, and hit hard.

3. No hit back is required- either this country will accept such racism or it won't

if it will, then there's nothing Obama can do about it.

But recent election results, including a big crossover vote for Obama, suggests that enough Americans will reject appeals to racism for him to prevail.

6. Did you forget what not answering the

swift boat attackers did for Kerry? Senator Obama not only has to hit back, he needs to smash their testicles into their throats.

4. now we're talking. This stuff sounds so much more reasonable when it comes from close-

minded bigots with hatchets than from within our Party. Nice to get back to business as usual.

5. And we all know just how much

members of the Tennessee GOP love the Jews.

And btw: He is wearing traditional African clothing in that picture, not "Muslim" attire.

7. Good thing that all these bigoted jerkoffs will be exposed for who they are.

They can no longer hide under their rocks. And they will be rejected by the vast majority of the US.

8. They can hide behind the curtain in the voting booth

That's where they'll show their true colors.
