BarDor ,   cleveland, ohio usa   (01.13.08)
...a friend of no one but herself
3. Another email says Obama was not born in the US and....
Smith   (01.13.08)
does not have a birth certificate to prove his claim to birth in Hawaii. If in fact he was not born in the US he could not be President.
4. #2: As opposed to whom?
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (01.13.08)
Who are you kidding? Only the self-centered seek that type of power. Obama is no exception. We are going for the lesser of the evils.
5. Both Clinton and Obama are dangerous
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (01.13.08)
vote for anyone but them. it's a sad time for the democratic party when their two most popular candidates are so unqualified to be president.
6. Why would ADL get involved?????
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.13.08)
7. Vote for McCain, just in case!
dwolf ,   San Jose CA   (01.13.08)
8. Obama supports Zionism!
Dovy ,   Toronto   (01.13.08)
What kind of narishkeit is this? Obama has repeatedly shown his devotion to the Zionist state! He's just as dedicated as McCain!
9. Neither Obama nor Clinton can compare to Rudy Giuliani
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (01.13.08)
Hopefully, Giuliani will become the next U.S. president.
10. Honestly People....
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.13.08)
You should know better than listening to rumors. Obama belongs to an all black and only black Christian church. In any case he is too radical to become president. Give a woman a chance and vote Clinton because first of all, women usually know what they are doing in the affairs of "their house",second, she will get valuable tips from her husband who is a true friend of Israel.
11. another reason to vote for mr. surge mccain
Pablo ,   NYC   (01.13.08)
12. Barack Obama
I. Barr ,   Detroit, Michigan,   (01.13.08)
All those who got the E-mail should check http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp I do not favor Obama but this is a smear campaign of unprecedented proportion. The radical left in USA accuses Sen. Obama to be too much pro Israel. Certainly he is committed to Israel no less than other candidates. 80% of Americans support Israel a fact that cannot be ignorred by any candidate.
13. Both Obama and Clinton are bad for Israel and USA
GOD   (01.13.08)
Cause of Clinton islam will rise more and cause of her WW3 will start.. Read Bible Codes
14. suspended cynicism
BarDor ,   Cleveland, Oh, USA   (01.13.08)
15. Trouble he is too pro Israel
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (01.13.08)
It will not be a great disaster if Obama is defeated. He would try too hard to please the Israel Lobby in an attempt to show he doesn't work for Al Qaida. At least Hillary doesn't have to prove anything; everyone knows she has already sold he soul to the Zionists.
16. #10, Clinton "true" friend of Israel?
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (01.13.08)
You should read the following: " The High Cost of Peace: How Washington's Middle East Policy Left America Vulnerable to Terrorism" by Yossef Bodansky Bodansky is Israeli and a super expert on terrorism and national security. You'll see how Bill Clinton used and pressured Israel, forcing ridiculous concessions, in an attempt to leave some kind of legacy instead of the zero he left, and to distract people from his impeachment proceedings. Hillary praised Suha Arafat publicly, in spite of her hateful rhetoric against Israel. Hillary is no friend of Israel, and neither was Bill.
17. But his church is anti-Semitic!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (01.13.08)
He belongs to a very Black/African centered church whose minister has said very anti-Semitic things! Either way, I do NOT trust him! He is also a radical Leftist! Much to the left of Hillary. And she's way off to the left!
18. Maybe not fundamentalist but definitely a Muslim!
redmiike ,   TA - LA - London   (01.13.08)
Barack Obama is the product of a black Moslem from Kenya, Barrack Hussein Obama, and a white atheist from Kansas and that is why his middle name is the same as Saddam's, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. His first name is taken from the Islamic term in Arabic for "blessed," baraka, used in the Koran. His mother later married another Moslem after which they moved to Jakarta when he was six and he attended a Moslem medressa (religious school). He was born of a Moslem father, raised by a Moslem stepfather, and received his first education at a Moslem school. In the eyes of all Muslims he is a Muslim and if he ever denies it he will be considered an apostate and a target!
19. #9 - Rudy Giuliani cannot win because of his drag queen past
redmiike ,   TA - LA - London   (01.13.08)
and his support for gays. None of the religious will vote for him so what chance does he have? Mike
20. Ever hear of the term "sleeper" ?
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (01.13.08)
Regardless who the Americans elect it will be bad for the Jews in Israel. Obama is either a black anti-semite or a muslim, Hillary is still contaminated with the stench of Suha Arafat whom she embraced and kissed, Huckabee is a fundy out to bring about the apocolypse by converting the Jews, Romney is a magic underwear wearing Mormon who is out to convert the Jews, Ron Paul is an anti semite, Guiliani is a liar, Mc cain is still shell shocked, So who can we rely on? Only Hashem!
21. Obama ?
galut ,   Selah   (01.13.08)
Whether or not there is any influance from his earlier muslim heritage I don't know. what is important is to listen carefuly to his goals ...look at his voting record and the spectrum of what he has said over the years. My personal feeling is whenever push come to shove when it comes to Israel the pressure will be for israel to be the one to give in .... basicly the same thing Bush is already doing except a little more pressure....
22. Idiots
Christy ,   Boston, US   (01.13.08)
I've never known of anyone who would take emails at face-value during a presidential election, or at any time. We are all familiar with the marketers lying to us in emails and have learned to ignore these emails. The only people who would believe such nonsense are idiots who believe anything they read, and they're too stupid to vote.
23. Forward the email and AOL and Microsoft will send you $
JPS ,   Efrat   (01.13.08)
Hey, if so many Americans (heck, and Israelis too) think that Microsoft and AOL track e-mails and will send you money for forwarding to all your friends.... Are there enough gullible American voters to sway the primaries? I doubt it.
24. 19 Redmike: Julie Annie is better looking as a woman.
Rivkah   (01.13.08)
25. OK Baruch In Boston,
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.13.08)
I retract my previous post. Honestly, I don't know who is a true friend of Israel except Israeli themselves (me included!). The sad truth is America is not ready for a black president and I am not creasy about Clinton running things either but as someone mentioned earlier...the lesser of two evils... This is too bad Rudy Giuliani does not have enough support... Americans must be blind or deaf or something
26. #25 There is nothing wrong with being a Muslim
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.13.08)
2.1 billion of the world's inhabitants are Muslims. Live with it.! Obama is amazing not because he might be a Muslim but because as a Black man running for President he is lucky to get this far without being lynched by some red neck trailer trash.
27. Obama and Hillary are both bad for Israel
Marty ,   Usa   (01.13.08)
Only Alan Keyes has been consistent in his support for a strong Israel, that does not give up its rightful land. The other candidates want Israel to negotiate away its land.
28. Hardly Surprising, as are the Lying Posters e.g. #17
David ,   Los Angeles   (01.14.08)
These old lies have been doing the rounds for some time, so it's hardly surprising to see them again. And some of the BS is repeated in the postings. The ADL says there is NO evidence his pastor is anti-Semitic.
29. IDIOTIC ACCUSATIONS: ISRAEL'S DEFENSE MINISTER ALSO "BARAK"
David ,   Los Angeles   (01.14.08)
30. Obama
S. Goldberg ,   LA, USA   (01.14.08)
Since when did African American showed real freindship toward Jews.In the political arena or being actors most of African Americans showed hostility to jews and Israel. Is Mr. Lester Crown, a Jewish-American billionaire for real?
