WOW! I just dont know what to say!
Hitler was a strong orator, I think that's what he meant and being 65 I'm sure he remembers WW2.
Actually Rev Wright sounds more like Hitler than Obama. Watch his hate video clip and substitute the word whites or his focus against whites with jews and its the same kind of hatred that Hitler had. Germany was in a great depression living in poverty and Hitler blamed the current government and rich Jews. The similarities are frightful. Hitler also spoke of a "Third Way" (Third Reich) and a new Change.
I'm not saying they are the same, However its the same kind of Hatred and desire to make a radical movement for a specific class or type of people rather than all people.
I am a US citizen by birth.
1. Obama is not anti-semitic: show me one example that proves he is.
2. He is not a NAZI. He is a Democrat.
3. Bush has many advisors, as do most world leaders, and this is somehow...bad?
4. He supports causes all around the world, and this is....bad?
Your rhetoric is the real problem. The Fascist idea of us vs them is the real problem. Obama wants to unite the citizens of the US. And that is some how bad?
The "fear of the Socialist" thought process is a result of the cold war--and that war is over. Clue in....your retirement funds are fading fast because of the way the Republicans have run our country for 8 years.
Seems to me your age group stands to benefit more (in fact already does) than nearly any other if our country was socialist, so what are you complaining about? You won't even be paying taxes in a couple of years, just reaping the profits of the Socialist program we call social security.
And aren't the Republicans (Bush has suggested it in the past) the folks that want to do away with Social Security?
I'm just sayin'...
Let's face it. it's a war between people who are willing to share and people who aren't willing to share. Simple as that.
At the same time that some are accusing Obama of being an anti-Semite, others, like David Duke, are accusing Obama of ‘pandering to Jews and Israel”. The truth, of course, is neither.
Obama’s own words on the matter are clear:
“My view is that the United States' special relationship with Israel obligates us to be helpful to them in the search for credible partners with whom they can make peace, while also supporting Israel in defending itself against enemies sworn to its destruction” (Source: Haaretz.com)
I have personaly neither seen nor heard *anything* from Obama that demonstrates a view different from his above comment.
So whence came this anti-semitic allegation? On what basis do some offer such a despicable accusation? I believe it’s an unavoidable product of Obama’s well-documented and extremely unfortunate affiliation with and affinity for people on the radical left fringes of social interaction. People like Ayers, Dhorn, Wright, Flager and Farrakhan.
Farrakhan, in particular, is about as anti-Semitic as they come. He, in turn, has strong ties to Wright. Wright runs a church that publishes a magazine called the “Trumpet Newsmagazine” which once bestowed upon Farrakhan the Church’s “Trumpeter Award” and, in doing so, proclaimed that Farrakhan “epitomized greatness”.
According to the Trumpeter; Wright applauded Farrakhan’s "depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation." He praised "his integrity and honesty." He called him "an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose."
Wright, the man Obama has described as his “spiritual advisor”, is clearly enamored with Farrakhan.
Obama was a member of Wright’s church for nearly 20 years. Despite Obama’s assertions to the contrary, I do not believe it’s possible to attend one church for 20 years and not be aware of at least some of the incredibly controversial views of its senior pastor...his support and favor for Farrakhan not least among them.
Thus, though he no doubt wishes it were not so, Obama is being criticized for his affiliation with and reverence for a man who affiliates with and reveres Farrakhan.
Some are saying that two + two clearly equals four in this case and that Obama’s actions over the past 20 years "demonstrate", at the very least, a sympathy to and tolerance of Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic views no matter what Obama may be "saying" with his words.
As for me, I am willing to take Obama at his word. I do not believe he is an anti-Semite.
What Obama is, however, is far too enamored with many on the radical left fringe of politics and social interaction for me to feel comfortable with him anywhere near the White Hous.
What Obama is, is an extreme leftist who has only expressed a regret for his many radical affiliations after having them questioned by those who are bothering to pay attention.
This, to me, speaks to a severe deficit of good judgment on Obama’s part. A deficit of judgment that could and, I believe, would, ultimately spell disaster in any elected official who aspires to and might achieve the Presidency.
"So just who is Andy Martin? Well, for starters, he's the originator of the "Obama is a Muslim" lie circulating around the Internet, as my colleague Chris Hayes first reported last year. Here's a brief backgrounder on Martin, from Hayes' article, "The New Right-Wing Smear Machine":
During a 1983 bankruptcy case he referred to a federal judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race." Martin, who in the past was known as Anthony Martin-Trigona, is one of the most notorious litigants in the history of the United States. He's filed hundreds, possibly thousands, of lawsuits, often directed at judges who have ruled against him, or media outlets that cover him unfavorably. A 1993 opinion by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, in Atlanta, described these lawsuits as "a cruel and effective weapon against his enemies," and called Martin a "notoriously vexatious and vindictive litigator who has long abused the American legal system." He once even attempted to intervene in the divorce proceedings of a judge who'd ruled against him, petitioning the state court to be appointed as the guardian of the judge's children.
The New York Times mentioned Martin's background in an article today, but left out a few pertinent and damning facts.
"In his past, Martin also has expressed anti-Semitic views," the Chicago Tribune wrote in 2006. "When he ran for Congress in Connecticut in 1986, the name of his congressional campaign committee included the phrase 'to exterminate Jew power in America,' Federal Election Commission records show."
Martin wrote in a personal bankruptcy case in 1983, "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property."
Martin's had numerous run-ins with the law, in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois and elsewhere. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported today:
In 1996, while running for a Palm Beach County state Senate seat, Martin was arrested after attacking a WPTV-Ch. 5 camerman during an attempted interview at the station's headquarters, while the cameras were rolling. In jail, he went on a hunger strike, claiming to be a 'political prisoner.' And after the election ended, he was given a one-year sentence and ordered to attend anger management classes."
Ten years later, Martin attempted to run for Governor of Illinois as a Republican. Here's what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote about him at the time:
There is the Andy Martin who touts to the media a long list of impressive, if vague, credentials: attorney, political reformer, consumer advocate, foreign policy expert and major player in the current political field.
And then there is the Andy Martin of official record: perennial candidate and lawsuit plaintiff; pegged by the U.S. Selective Service as mentally unstable; barred from a law license by the Illinois Supreme Court for irrational behavior toward the legal system; jailed on several occasions for his antics in court and on the campaign trail.
The Associated Press added:
The Illinois Supreme Court denied [Martin] a license because he sent several profane letters to members of the bar committee and filed abusive court pleadings, documents show. The court also noted his Selective Service file showed Martin suffered from a "moderately-severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and grandiose character."
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Martin claimed he found Saddam Hussein before the US military did. "The Near North Side resident was relating how he spent most of 2003 scouring holes in Iraq with two dogs--and pinpointed Saddam Hussein's whereabouts a full two months before US troops," the Sun-Times wrote in 2006.
Now, Martin claims, he has been "the pathfinder on Barack Obama for over four years." On October 15th, Martin plans to "launch the first investigative strike force in Hawaii directed at researching Barack Obama's 'hidden Hawaiian history.'"
"As always, our goals will be factual accuracy and fairness."

I hadn't heard of Mr. Andy Martin till you mentioned him in your posting. He sounds like quite a kook.
Just so we're clear. No one speaks for me but me, least of all Sean Hannity.
Sean and I agree on many things, but not nearly all things.
Thus I don't generally support organized boycotts of any sort.
I believe that most people are more than capable of making up their own minds on such things.
Hannity's documentary will succeed or fail on it's own merits or lack thereof.

Of course, anyone who actually believes that Obama is an extreme leftist probably voted for the above regime in the first place. Twice.
Last I counted it was something like 28 out of the last 40 fall into the "anti-intellectual, uber-right wing constitutional trashing, creationist-embracing, failed privatizing and deregulatiing" category. And that's being generous. Those fun-loving Clinton years get quite a few points along some of these lines (which would make it 36).
So maybe I should revise my earlier comment to make it a straight shut-out of Ridiculous Right-wing Ideology over the left.
And don't forget Quincy, please. Or the Ellery Queen TV show. Or McMillan and Wife, or Rhoda!
and also Kelson, don't forget Jimmy's admin was the first "Energy Crisis." I remember my parents being really upset because gas shot up to 75 cents a gallon!
With all due respect, I was trying to lighten the discussion.
I was referring to the fact that many of the problems we have today, regarding foreign affairs, energy issues, even the economy--the list goes on-- none of these issues are new. Many have their roots 30 or 40 years ago. For any of us to fantasize that there is some point in time where everything was perfect--and our leaders were doing a flawless job-- is about as futile as mourning the loss of idyllic TV shows like "I Love Lucy" and "Green Acres."
BTW, DWR, I love the reference to "All in The Fanily." This show was as formative to my early childhood as "The Carol Burnett Show" and "Hee Haw." My parents loved all of those. We never missed an episode.
Lightening up is a very good thing. As for me, I was watching "Sanford & Son", "Gunsmoke" and "Adam-12".
There appears to be nothing moderate about the man, either personally or professionally.
Get out your checkbooks if Obama is elected, people...for you will find yourself taxed as you have never been taxed before.
One word gives Obama a pass for the next four years: "Bush"
(Note how you trolls who put him in office and are amazingly silent now).

I think you all get my point now. If we are gonna discuss anti-semitism, let's do it. Let's take off the gloves...

hahahahaha!
Regarding our recent "switch" to the grey box to watch TV - that sounds like Hitler as well - Hitler's SS officers regulated what radio stations were approved and which ones were not - their cars were equipped with special radios that could tell what radio station any particular home was listening to as they drove by - listening to the wrong station landed you in your local concentration camp with no questions asked. No one ever left a camp - you died there. I have no idea what those grey boxes have in them but I'm tempted to get a transistor radio and not watch tv now that I know this - could they be equipped with a device that reveals to government officials what it is that you are watching/listening to, or communiting to others with? They already can do this with computers...This whole thing just reaks of Hitler. I toured a concentration camp as a child - horrible place it is. And Hitler's 'official' name of his government? SOCIALIST. That's where Obama wants to lead us. The cheering crowds are exactly like those who worshiped Hitler. Obama insults America's friends (Britain) and worships Islamic Kings? What's going on with that...and government health care? HItler had that too - he experimented on people with Governmentally paid doctors who did as they were instructed. The horrors - people in concentration camps had horrible, painful things done to them; People on the outside were forced to be steralized throught the eugenics program.
I don't want to live in Hitler's fascist Socialism. My mom came here to leave that behind. Please take this seriously - you can not read people's personal stories from a text book or a news paper story - you ahve to ask people what it was like when they were actually there - the details that you do not know about - those things are being re-implimented by this new government. Why is it a 'new order'? because Americans do not know what this is - it will be completely new - a SHOCK for them...
