61. Obama targeted in smear campaign
S. L. ,   Houston, USA   (01.14.08)
If Obama is not a muslim than why doesn't he change his name to a "Christian" name. His name suggests that he is a muslim. Why did he not salute the flag of the United States and why does he refuse to say the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. This Country was founded on Christian Principles, not Muslim Principles.
62. #58, no, nor are we (like lydia) all
nutha Aussie ,   Australia   (01.14.08)
jew-haters! Lydia posts antisemitic filth on a regular basis. That's the 1st one of her's not attacking Jews ever posted!
63. So what if he's Al Quada?
Henry ,   San Antonio, Texas   (01.14.08)
So far they've (the Taliban and Bin Laden's people) shown more honor and resolve than the Republicans or mainline Democrats, even if the Mafia were elected successfully, it would be far better for the country than the last 7 years of lies, pass-the-bucks, conspiracies, Bill Of Right's trashing, torture, illegal wars, assisting polluters, fanaticism in Christian bloodletting, forced stop-loss in the military, sanctioned mass murders in Iraq with no redress, international laws spit upon, etc. etc. If it's true, I'm still voting for and campaigning with Barack. Send him $20.00, like I did and we'll start America being America again.

Ephraim ,   Diaspora   (01.14.08)
It would seem to me that all the Israeli, Jewish, or world Jewish posters to this article would be much much more concerned with who, how, and when someone will replace Olmert. While the American president seems to be important to Israel, your own government is more important. First, you should do t'shuvah, There you will find your law (Torah), then discover your Mashiach. Then HaShem will give you a King David! Quit looking to the goy for your strength! Hasn't your history taught you better than this?
65. #62, Nutha
Kev ,   London   (01.14.08)
Thanks for confirming that. People like Lydia are terribly embarrassing for a nation. Sheesh.
66. You've Gotta Admit
grt ,   USA   (01.14.08)
It's too ironic for words. Out of the entire history of the USA, there has never been a strong candidate with any Islamic connections and then all of the sudden, at this very point in time -- at a time when the USA is battling radical Islam -- a guy with very little experience and no name recognition pops on to the scene compliments of Oprah, part of the entertainment industry, and has become a strong candidate. What are the odds? We all know Rosie O'Donnell, another empty head from the entertainment industry, had to fall hook, line and sinker for the radical nonsense she's read on the Internet and then was able to disseminate through her celebrity status. We all might think conspiracy theories are ridiculous. I think most are. But you gotta admit, the Obama issue is just too ironic to ignore.
67. People who shoot women and babies are not my friends

68. #62 The interlopers in Israel are neither
(01.15.08)
69. #62 Evil flourishes when good men do nothing
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.15.08)
The interlopers in Israel are neither Semite, having not originated from Asia, ME or Africa nor are they in the widest stretch of the imagination any relations to the Biblical jews, but part of a mass conversion that includes East. European Khazars. Any one with half a brain will see this. He who kills defenseless women and children i.e. Rachel Corrie and little kids frolicking on the beach are not human and deserve no shelter from their treacherous actions.
70. #59 your crazy
Jason ,   Brooklyn, NY   (01.15.08)
u live in boston so why r u going for the yankees?
71. Obama---Jewish groups condemn email?
Pan Ben Reuben Jigar ,   Southampton, Pa.   (01.18.08)
What is this email that the Jewish groups refer to and where is it so I can read it for myself and make an independent judgment.
72. Obama, for or against?
Mac-101 ,   Hopkinsville, KY   (01.20.08)
I find it amusing how many posters are so intense when it comes to how pro Israeli American politicians are. As one who places his life in jepardy supporting freedom around the world, I would like to state that I find it highly entertaining that the Israelis are their own worst enemies. Their deviciveness in their own country against the real threat of Islamic-terrorist who live/die for their destruction is suicidal. Americans of Jewish heritage are in the forefront against America's battle against Islamic-terrorist. The ACLU and the Clinton/Carter Judiciary appointments are Hell bent to have us lose, and expose us to another major terrorist attack. The 1st admendement backed up by the second admendment are essential in maintaining western civilization and are truely worth dying for. Hopefully, it does not come to pass, if so, you can count on me to fight and die for Israel. Are you willing? Or are you all just running your fingers over the keys and gripe?
73. Bloomberg Debunks False Obama Rumors
Anne ,   Washington, DC, USA   (07.03.08)
I am glad that someone who "doesn't have a dog in the hunt" is courageous enough to exhort his fellow Jews to reject the nonsense that is circulating about Barack Obama. This has greatly increased my respect for Bloomberg. The purpose of these rumors is to discredit Obama and destroy his prospects of being President. It's exactly the same type of fear-mongering that worked in 2000 and 2004. After more than 7 years of suffering, I hope enough Americans are now more enlightened that our votes can override those of the people who persist in their ignorance.
74. Obama targeted in smear campaign
anne ,   Washington, D.C., US   (07.03.08)
Obama does not need to change his name to prove he is a Christian. Please note that his name is Arabic, and that among Arabic peoples, there are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and atheists. There are also Christians in African and Asian nations, and their names do not give a clue as to their religions.
