    Actually, I found this very interesting. Here in New York City there have been several talks about the same thing, comparing Senator Obama to Hitler. At first it seemed a little extreme, but then again, there was a 99% vote of "Yes" for Hitler. Hitler was one of the greatest public speakers of his time. We had a whole section of study on him at Yale. He, like Obama, kept pushing "change", "won't you help me change it"...well, Like Hitler, Obama has yet to show us how he is going to "change" our country. If you're a history person, you can recall how the "change" worked out for Germany. Not much difference here.

    Yeah, the slow, steady change of degrading wages and health care and increased wealth disparity is a lot nicer to swallow since it has been occuring over a timespan of a few decades. Who would want to change such things? God forbid any progressive policies would ever actually require "change" to the way business or government operates! Change equals Hitler! Change equals Nazis! Change equals murdered Czars! Oh my god! Run for the hills! Workers might get a five day workweek! It's change! It's change!

    Living in Germany myself, I can see what he means.

    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 German by birth, 63 years old. Obama makes sounds like Hitlerm speaks loke Hitler and acts like Hitler and his agenda is like Hitler. It's 1933 all over again. He is anti simetic. He is an empty suit. So was Hitler. Hitler had many advisors who made decisions for him. So has Obama. He has not made any decisions of his own. Obama is a National Socialist. (NAZI) I am scared thinking what he will do becoming president. Obama will ruin this country for good. He will introduce National Socialism and many people will like it. He is a big spender for World causes on behalf of the American people. He has never met a socialistic program he did not like. Beware of Obama, he definately will take all your money. He will socialize this great country and America will be like anyone else. America wake up, you are taken for a ride by a Socialist. You freedom is taken way. There is nothing left and they will take care of your freedom to carry guns. Your taxes will be the same as in Germany, Sweden etc. 50% plus. They take anything you have left and then some. Great speeches and no backbone.All started the same way in 1933.

    Ellen,
    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'...

    Allegations of anti-Semitism on the part of Senator Obama originate from various extremist groups. That these allegations receive any serious attention, from anyone, is unfortunate and does nothing to further intelligent dialog concerning Obama's candidacy.

    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.

    heres where john get his info

    "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'm not much of a bandwagon jumper and I don't presume to dictate to others what products, of any sort, they should or shouldn't consume.

    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.

    After 8 years of an anti-intellectual, uber-right wing constitutional trashing, creationist-embracing, failed privatizing and deregulatiing regime, an extreme leftist sounds pretty good to me.

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).

    To be fair, gas shot up 75 cents for them when it had cost 5 times less than that a very short time earlier. For us that'd be like it going from our pre-war $1.82 to $9 a gallon. But then imagine also not being able to get gas --- so far all our stations haven't been out of the sutff. Not that it matters, since last month my commuter car was totalled.

    Mr. B,
    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.

    LB City Girl: All of your links are interesting and I think you for offering them. You, at the very least, make some effort at arguing the facts rather than simply being insulting. For the record, you will never find an instance where I asserted that Obama was, or is, an anti-Semite. To the contrary I made it very clear that Obama is supportive of Israel and that I take him at his word when he says so. Where I find fault with Obama is his knowing and conscious multiple associations with people on the radical fringe. Obama considers Wright to be his spiritual advisor. Wright, in turn, publicly compliments and awards Farrakhan for being "an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose." Are we to believe that Wright is not aware of Farrakhan’s rabidly anti-Semitic positions? I think not. So Wright supports Farrakhan and Obama supports Wright. This does not make Obama anti-Semitic; it simply makes him a terrible judge of character. This misjudgment, when combined with all of the other similar misjudgments to which Obama is linked, proves, in my mind a distinct pattern that I believe could spell disaster for the White House as surely as did Nixon’s.
