Will Media Report Anti-Semitic Article at Obama's Website?

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

If the official John McCain for President website featured an anti-Semitic article about the Jewish lobby, would media report it?

Probably so much so that the Republican presidential nominee would be forced to issue an explanation and an apology.

Well, on Saturday evening, a person representing Socialists for Obama published an article (link no longer operable) at Barack Obama's official campaign website with the disgraceful headline "How The Jewish Lobby Works" (disgusting content after the jump, h/t's to Larwyn, American Thinker, Doug Ross, and Israel Matzav):

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

NO LOBBY IS FEARED MORE or catered to by politicians than the Jewish Lobby. If a politician does not play ball with the Jewish Lobby, he will not get elected, or re-elected, and he will either be smeared or ignored by the Jewish-owned major media.

All Jewish lobbies and organizations are interconnected and there are hundreds upon hundreds of them. The leaders of the numerous Jewish Lobby Groups go to the same synagogues, country clubs, and share the same Jewish investment bankers. And this inter-connectedness extends to the Jews who run the Federal Reserve Bank, US Homeland Security, and the US State Department.

In other words, “Jews stick together.” Americans must know how extremely powerful the Jewish Lobby is and how it operates to undermine America’s interests both at home and abroad. At home - by corrupting America’s political system, and abroad - by dictating American Foreign Policy against America’s best interests.

It appears from the dead link that this piece has finally been removed. However, one has to wonder whether the Obama-loving media will pay any attention to this whatsoever, of if this will be another "gaffe" that will be totally ignored for the junior senator from Illinois' benefit.

*****Update: See more anti-Semitism at Obama's website here. Also, Charles at LGF has more here, here, here, here, and here.

*****Update II: And even more here (h/t NBer Bruce Gordon).

Couldn't you imagine that picture of Obama on Chris Matthews' dinner plates?

HA!

Awesome idea..  Let's accessorize with Madmandinejad tea cups.

What does the MSM has to say about this, with proof still available . . .

<cue cricket chirping sound>

Thanks for the link

Amazing that this bigotry doesnt hit the press.Then again the media is in the tank for Obama.

They pulled it. Gee, what

They pulled it. Gee, what a shocker!

Glad you saved it, Noel. They will probably deny it was ever there.

Will he claim the website was hacked?

And the media will yawn.

Again.

Noel, in the open thread,

Noel, in the open thread, Jack Bauer has a link to LittleGreenFootballs which has some more stuff that appeared on the Obama website. Senator "Jew Lieberman," and "Jamaah Islamiyah for Obama"...with screenshots too.

Wow...I already caught a

Wow...I already caught a lot of this and commented on today's OT thanks to Jack Bauer...so did others...

Ayway...we all know if a repub candidate had any of this on their official web site they would of not only been made to apologize, they would of most likely been out of the race with the 24/7 leftist msm...no, no bias or hypocrisy here, I do not for one minute think absolutely no one in the msm did not know about this or wasn't aware of this going on for months...look the other way and say nothing when it comes to their messiah.

Last I saw on LGF a lot was taken off...but this was still there...like they say, they have a lot of cleaning up to do.

Oh, boy, bt.....now he's going to have to schedule a "speech on anti-Semitism."

 

Yes mb...and the msm with

Yes mb...and the msm with Matthews and Olbie declaring another Kennedyesque wonderful wonderful historic speech...

Hope the link still worked, I got it from the latest on LGF, wonder how long that will stay up on his site...I didn't even go through all the pages...one was enough for me.

Despicable.

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

You have to wonder how

You have to wonder how whoever did that got into the website. Someone on his staff with a grudge???

 

I don't think there was any grudge MB

People who support him believe this kind of stuff. Rev Wright, Farrakhan, Michael Moore, Ayers and lots more of them. The far left are Just as anti-semitic as they are anti-Christian. Obama is in bed with the far left and votes 100% with them

My mistake, Dee. It wouldn't

My mistake, Dee. It wouldn't have to be a hacker. I just realized that's a special area of the website for community blogs. I was thinking it was in the official area. Apparently they don't have anyone monitoring those blogs for "inappropriate" material.

Speech on anti-semitism

Yes, he will blame the anger and the bitterness of such people on their generation.  A generation that saw runaway prosperity.

www.benbarrack.com  

Typical Progressive

Progressives are what they are....they've hated Jews throughout their history.

Progressives hate Jews

Ah, those progressives.....  They traffic in the art of projection.  Hate the Jews and ascribe that hatred to someone else.

Another example is their exploitation of blacks through victimology and then blame "whitey" (sorry, anticipating Michelle's tape).

www.benbarrack.com  

Why do progressives hate

Why do progressives hate Jews?

Because they constantly condemn Israel

for defending herself against Muslims who want her destroyed and have no interest in compromise. Every cease fire is broken by them and then Israel is blamed for retaliating. They don't criticize Hamas or the suicide bombers or Arafat or anyone involved in the conflict except Israel.

Success

You want the hatred of "progressives"? Simple.  Be Successful.  Back in the 1960s the Left was all about Israel, but now that Israel is a regional hyperpower, with seven million people and the region's largest economy, backing its most powerful and feared military, the Left hates them now.   

Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.

this is very complex

Striesand and Speilberg are quite "progressive" I dare say...

There are tons of "progressive" Jews in the MSM...

They are essentially appeasers when it comes to the state of Isreal - ironically enough - there are actually many who favor the dismantling of the Jewish state...

they feel very guilty about the Palestinians, i suppose

unhealthy guilt problems are the liberal way... 

Noel

If the official John McCain for President website featured an anti-Semitic article about the Jewish lobby, would media report it?

To my knowledge, McCain's site doesn't feature a open-forum community blog where anyone could post anything they want within minutes of registering.   It tried it over at Obama's, and my post features this nice disclaimer at the bottom:

Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign.

So there's really nothing to report, other than maybe Obama should rethink the idea of having an open forum on his website, or perhaps have more people monitoring what gets posted there.  (However, within an hour of my post being put up, it had already moved down to the third page, so there is obviously a lot of traffic.   It'd be hard to monitor 24/7.)

CZ... On a Presidential

CZ...

On a Presidential web-site you had better have someone responsible monitoring it at all times 24/7.

Worry not, this will be spun to death as only the leftists can do, make excuses and all for their messiah, if this was a republican candidate this would be an outrage and the responsibility for such blog post would be aimed right at the candidate himself until he was run into the ground and out of the race.

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

Yeah that's a great excuse for Obama - too big to control

And he thinks he can control and be responsible for the U.S.?

He should not have a forum that isn't monitored and responded to by someone from the campaign. It's especially stupid when he has so many nut job radical supporters. He can't even control his close friends, how's he going to control his supporters or anyone? He's all about letting people do what ever they want as long as they support him.

He's all about letting

He's all about letting people do what ever they want as long as they support him.

Can you imagine how his cabinet & other appointees are going to behave? :-(

It's mind boggling and scary. Did you read my response to your Top 10 reasons not to vote for McCain? I loved it. You must read my response though.

I did read it.

I did read it. :-)

Lesser of two evils indeed!

 

"Don't forget to vote this fall. Not for McCain, not ever, but there might be a Conservative Rep or Senator that Needs Your Vote" --Free Stinker

Call me crazy, but ...

I read that Obama was having trouble with many Jewish voters because he is black and many know that he is Muslim.  I wonder why he or any of his surrogates would put an anti-Jewish screed on his website.  It just doesn’t make sense from a political point of view.

Wait and see.  Sooner or later, someone is going to blame Karl Rove for this.

There are plenty of liberal

There are plenty of liberal Democrats out there who would throw over Israel in a heart beat but won't say so openly. They secretly share the sentiments of that French diplomat who once described Israel as a "sh*tty little country" at a dinner party; for them it's a settler state imposed by the Balfour Declaration with no real mandate to exist and it's more trouble than it's worth being its ally. And these same Democrat libs would throw over blacks for illegal Mexicans too because, as one lib explained to me, the Mexicans work harder than the brothers who have been spoiled over the years by welfare (of course he failed to catch the irony of who created that welfare state).

The political tectonic plates in this country are shifting and grinding, and a lot of the result won't be very pretty. My prediction for the next few years.

WOULD A JEWISH PERSON AND A

WOULD A JEWISH PERSON AND A BLACK PERSON PLEASE, PLEASE TELL MY WHY YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THE DEMOS CREDIT YOUR VOTES....HOW??

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR YOU?

WHERE DOES THE BIAS LAY??

HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND.

THE DEMOCRATS HATE THE JEWS AND THE BLACKS. THEY JUST WANT TO KEEP YOU DONE AND IN YOUR PLACE.

MOM

I am a conservative Jew and

I am a conservative Jew and never understood why Jews vote blindly for Democrats.

By the time we hit October, most Jews will be engaged in the election and will not vote for Obama. My guess is that over 50% will not vote for Obama which is significantly less than the normal 70% - 75% who vote for Democrats.

It is also important that as a result of Wright and Obama's waffling on the issueof Wright and Israel, many major Jewish Dem donors will not be supporting Obama.

 

 

Gat... It has always been

Gat...

It has always been my assumption that the reason given is... that Jews felt a kinship with Blacks due to persecution. And in turn this meant they went with the Dem party.

Am I even close?

 "Abstain from McCain"

Even Before That

The ties to the Democratic Party were cemented as a result of World War II and FDR/Truman as well as where most originated from: New York City.

Jews were a major part of the civil right movement - not just as marchers - but provided most of the financial support. So they were heavily invested in what you said was almost a common cause.

Since Jimmy Carter the Democratic Party has grown increasingly anti-Israel and today all you have to do is look at it's current standard bearer - Barack Hussein Obama - and wonder why any Jew would still be a Democrat?

The liberal Jews I know are not voting for Obama under any circumstancesand I would not be surprised to see less than 50% (versus 75%) vote for Obama.

 

I agree GNY - not just any Jew but any person of faith

The left constantly tries to blame religion (Christian or Jewish) on conflicts even though they never claim to be fighting in the name of their religion and peacefully respect other religions who are not aggressively attacking them.

At the same time they excuse and try to water down the fact that the side attacking them is specifically attacking them in the name of their religion and have no interest in compromise. Their only choice is convert or die.

It's crazy and I guess it's just because liberals like to blind themselves to evil. They have to change the argument into "all religion is equally bad". They think if there was no religion then we'd have no more conflicts. Despite the fact that Jews, Christians and some Muslims live peacefully together all over the world, they cling to the "all religion is bad" mantra and won't call out the radical religious and separate them from peaceful religious people.

noel, noel, noel.

i am surprised at you.  your article makes it sound as if this was an officially sanctioned article.  it is part of the blog, and as you know, the site cannot be held responsible for the bloggers content. all they can do is remove it when they see it. otherwise, visitors to this site would think that my posts are representative of NewsBusters, and we both know that isn't true.

as far as how the msm would handle this if it was on mccain's site, i don't know. i can conjecture, but that is all it is, conjecture. my conjecture COULD be that the msm would be outraged that bloggers do this kind of thing and warn the public that this isn't mccain's thoughts, but the demented mind of a anonymous blogger.

maybe the tag line should be 'exposing and combating liberal media bias as we THINK they MAY respond'.

crs

Of course you have at Noel...typical.

He's just posting info here....but you, as usual, must try to make it personal.

Typical. 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

crshedd,

otherwise, visitors to this site would think that my posts are representative of NewsBusters, and we both know that isn't true.

LOL-Sheddy, your posts aren't even representative of common sense, much less NB.

Do you really think anyone in here buys that load you just dumped in Noel's thread above?

Everyone here knows full well that if the shoe were on the other foot and something like this had sown up on a website even remotely associated with McCain, the MSM and the dems (same thing) would be going ape over it.

What is more, you would be among the first swerving in here and condemning him for it.

 

cr, cr, cr

Give me a break. That's Markos Moulitsas's excuse for the hateful nonsense at his website. But Obama isn't Markos, at least not in theory.

This is a man trying to become the president of the United States. As such, regardless of bs disclaimers at his website, anything posted there represents him. Period. He should have moderators acting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week scrubbing that site of anything that could be deemed offensive to the citizens he wants to represent. And, I expect McCain to have the same standards at his site.

Anything less is disgusting, and I really don't care whether you agree with my opinion in this regard or not. noel, noel, noel

As a presidential candidate,

As a presidential candidate, I don't know how you even give such access to factions you can't count on or don't know exactly what they'll post. You can't set up your official web site that way for precisely the reasons you mentioned.

Imagine the hue and cry

Imagine the hue and cry from the MSM if that was McCain's website.

Oh, wait. That was the point of bringing this issue up.

B,

Exactly. Maybe this was OK during the nomination process -- although I don't think so! -- but now that he's an election away from being the president, he's got to take more control and responsibility for what's at his website. Period.

And, as I stated, I will hold McCain to the same standard. ns

 Yet another "drive-by whine" by the whiny Socialist crshedd, whose last posts here just seem to have this "NewsBusters Sucks" theme.  crshedd, here's an idea: if you so dislike this website, why not...stop reading it, or posting here? 

Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.

Not really going to hold

Not really going to hold Obama accountable for this, though he might want to rethink the open forum/blog format. However I feel about the man as a candidate, I just can't believe he would knowingly allow this type of content to be on his official site.

Would McCain get the same benefit of the doubt? Of course not, but hey, what can you do?

 Report on it? Hell the MSM

 Report on it? Hell the MSM agrees with it.

Since April

Well, on Saturday evening, a person representing Socialists for Obama published an article (link no longer operable) at Barack Obama's official campaign website with the disgraceful headline "How The Jewish Lobby Works"

 Actually that blog has been there since April.

lee atwater would be proud

My first thought is that is obviously a dirty trick. The only question is whose fingerprints are on it. I don't think we will be able to trace them at all. Lee Atwater would be proud.

There will be more of these to come, and the way this one has propogated through the blogosphere shows that we can probably expect them on a weekly basis from now until november.

I'm sure many blogs have suspicions as to the source of this, but it's better to keep these suspicions to yourself, because it doesn't matter how Hussein is defeated.

 

 

but now . . . a few mintues later after reading more entries from that socialist blog I chagned my mind. They are really wackos over at socialists for barack obama. Good grief. You could not ask for a worse friend than these socialists.

LGF did it!!!

Dirty trick? That's what the Obamanuts are saying! Scroll down to

Little Green Footballs Put That Stuff on the Site !

 

I Got a New IDEA Noel, a new way of looking at Obamarama

Can You get a Picture of Obama wearing a Bullet Proof Vest ?

Because the Dude is starting to look Bullet Proof.  

Stick a few Logo's on the Flak Jacket, like the Peacock, GE, CNN, etc..., and you have a TIME Mag. Cover of the MSM Bullet Proof Candidate. 

He's Survived Everything Hill and Bill threw at him, Even the 30pt Loss in WV went un-mentioned, along with Kentucky.   But then it is all a Democratic "Construct" of an Artificial Environment.

The Republican Revolution will not be Televised

GMTA, Jay!! I've said

GMTA, Jay!!

I've said before, he isn't Teflon, he's bulletproof. The Kevlar Candidate!

This SOBama

will get away with this all the way to the white house.

A true socialist has finally arrived, the media got rid of the Clintons, and the collective left are in heaven.

SOBama leaning Jews will never see this or any article.

I will never understand how some in the Jewish community could vote for a liberal, never mind someone the likes of this racist SOBama?

SOBama will simply say he is not responsible for what is printed at HIS website. After all, he has no controll. sob sob

 

 

 

Hi Delsa... Could not

Hi Delsa...

Could not agree more.

Btw...been wondering about where you've been...  I miss your posts, we may have just hit and missed though now and then.

...anyway, the msm will already have all his talking points out before he does, and he knows it, if any of this ever does make it to the forefront..we thought we had seen protection for the Clintons, we haven't seen anything yet.

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

Hello Bigtimer

You are too kind.

I've visited, but have been is a mood not fit for posting.

I missed everyone. I havn't been at the computer too much. My brother's son is with us for two weeks. School is out and he thinks being here is fun?? Go figure.

I really think he likes it here because it is not home.

My youngest sons best friend just got back from 29 Palms. He and his fellow Marines were practicing for their up coming tour in IRAQ. I love his hugs. He is like a son to me and his mother does not mind sharing.

This Obama guy really scares the hell out of me. Not that ther is a time but this is no time to experiment with socialism. Or worse?

I am glad to be reading remarks made by real thinkers.

Reading the post at the Obama web site tells us, at the very least, what kind of people are voting for him.

YO Shedd

or who ever...?

The SOBama posts are reflective of the mind set of those who are voting for this brainless wonder.

It is a very instructive read. The perosn posting this crap feels quite comfortable and at home at the SOBama 08 web site.

Tells me a lot and Confirms what I think of SOBama and his friends.

They are NOT friends of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

And I include all 57 of SOBama's states

As usual if you read some

As usual if you read some articles the comments left by the Left are that this poster was a rightwinger who is writing this to get Barack in trouble, how sad.

 

Also apparently this and articles just like it have been up for 2 months and it was only taken down after someone made a stink about it in the papers.

Obama monitors critics, but not his OWN website

I read this on LGF (posted 12.08) and immediately posted on NB open thread pointing NBers to the site at 15.09.

Five minutes later the page link featuring JEW SENATOR LIEBERMAN was deleted on the Obama site... so it had been up for exactly three hours at LGF.

You know what the truly amazing thing is: all this anti-Semetic stuff had been up on Obama's site for months...

So apparently the Obama "people" MONITOR conservative websites ALL THE TIME, in case they post anything negative about their messiah BUT...

They don't monitor their OWN Obama website?

Isn't that interesting?

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Obama should be hit with his associates.

Who's Tony Rezko? William Ayers? Rev. Wright? Farrakan?

Few Americans know, but they probably will by Election Day.

Obama's plan for Iraq

Charles has Obama's plan for Iraq from his web site, and it doesn't just call for surrender. Prosecuting "war criminals" is a major bullet point.

This one is going to stick and drag the rest of the filth from that site into the spotlight. Fox will cover it, and I'm now thinking that the MSM may end of grudgingly having to address Obama's website.

Here is the link to LGF's

Here is the link to LGF's screenshot of the Obama PDF with his "plan for Iraq." (Includes link to original PDF) It includes prosecuting war criminals.

Money quote from LGF: And something tells me they don’t mean Al Qaeda.

2 months?

Can someone tell me where your getting this "2 months" date? The date on the blog says it was put up a couple days ago. I ask, because I'm posting this on other forums and the people are rightly asking where the date comes from?

There were scores of

There were scores of objectionable posts on Obama's page, and some of them were at least two months old, but this one was not. Most have now been scrubbed from the site. There's a pretty good omnibus at LGF posted under "57 Flavors of Crazy"

If you go to the BO campaign site and use the search tool, you can likely still find some sketchy posts. Just type in a term that left wing extremists are likely to use, and you may find something ugly.

They might want to fix that than.

I posted this on a bunch of sites, now everyone is dismissing it because of the "2 months" thing.

drone --- Little Green

drone --- Little Green Footballs noted the dates... I imagine it was from the date stamp on the posted responses .. which have been removed.

The point has moved beyond that really hasn't it? Isn't it more interesting to ask -- what do all these people see in Obama ... socialists, Jew haters, 9/11iars, thewy all see him as their saviour.. why?

That's the real point -- not how long a webminder left this crap up. Funny how they monitor conservatives more than they montor the loons on Obama's site.

Here’s yet another disgusting antisemitic page at the official Barack Obama campaign web site, by a group calling itself “Socialists for Obama.” This group of Jew-haters has apparently been at his site since April, and there are numerous comments from Obama supporters that are indistinguishable from the hate speech you’ll find at neo-Nazi sites:

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Communist Endorsement of Obama

He also has socialists, communists and other assorted riff-raff on his website too:

http://my.barackobam...

It says something about a candidate when all of America's enemies endorse him.
