Shir ,   Helsinki, Finland   (02.17.07)
WZK said: "The left is against Israel" Then why are 80% of American Jews voting for democrates and why are close to all jewish politicians democrates? What is wrong with them?
35. #30 -Thanks for your post...
Sage Philips ,   Antioch, CA   (02.17.07)
You have spoken like a wise man. I wish people could see the positive change that the man Obama would bring to America if he wins the bid for the Oval Office. He is the epitome of positive leadership and intelligence. That is my take.
36. Obama is a Christian you morons!!

37. #34 They are in denial
Jenny ,   USA   (02.17.07)
Jews were taught from a very young age to only vote for Democrats (I was). Most are scared of the Christian right thinking they are all anti-Semites. The truth is today's anti-Semites mainly come from the left and they have infected the Democratic party. Since Jimmy Carter the party has not been the same. Clinton pretended to care for Israel, but sold it down the river. Between Oslo and 9/11 he still has a lot to answer for and I won't give him another chance to run this country thru his wife. Obama is the next Jimmy Carter, but I'm not worried about him winning. We need to be more worried about Bill Clinton's 3rd term.

41. RUDY GIULIANI IS THE RIGHT MAN.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.17.07)
We know where he stands, he has principle, he is liberal on social issues but tough on terrorism, he has experience running a complicated gov't bureaucracy. There just is no better candidate especially for us. The stakes are too high to support an unknown or worse, a Clinton liberal who we do know.
42. Obama rhymes with Osama
Neal ,   NJ,USA   (02.17.07)
It doesn't matter. Obama doesn't have a chance. No record to run on except the propaganda his campaign can create. The democrats know if they want the White House, Obama is not their man. Watch it.
43. #34 - Shir
Kevin G ,   Oregon   (02.18.07)
In recent history, it all goes back to the 60s with its ideals of human rights, end to racial segregation, opposition to the Vietnam war, freedom for all, etc., etc. These days the Blacks that Jewish kids gave their lives for during the Freedom Rides, are extremely anti-Semitic (many turning to Islam). The Leftist workers unions too, are involved in anti-Israel politics. The Leftist university students and faculty are rabidly anti-Israel. That's the Left these days. But many decent Jews keep voting Democrat because they think that they are voting for a progressive agenda (against Big Business, against War, and pro social services for the poor). However, a good number of Jews in the US and all over the world have decided that being anti-Israel, like many Democrats, makes them a little less Jewish and more acceptable in their social circles. It's a sickness, and I have no answer to that or a prescription to cure it.
44. #36 Muslim becomes a Jesus lover
Josh   (02.18.07)
The fact that he would go from being a Muslim shows he is an idiot. Muslims should be familiar with Moses and certainly the fact that Jesus does match prophecies should make it clear that this Guy is a moron. He goes anyway the wind blows...real decisive leader (NOT). Either that or he realizes there is no way the Christians will vote in a Muslim..so he lied. (Typical polictical BS) Either way. He cannot become President. The only Moron here is........????
45. #24.. %2-3 percent of the US are jeiwish and around .25

46. #43.. different people means different statements?

47. Jason
Shir ,   Helsinki, Finland   (02.18.07)
The maximum amount of jews globally is about 17 million. (only a part of these are ethnic jews.) 17 million people is not 25% of the world´s population. Or even close.....
48. as Jack Abrahamoff puts it:
Shir ,   Helsinki, Finland   (02.18.07)
"It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently."
49. We are proud of our Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Maurice ,   Montreal   (02.18.07)
He is the first prime minister in Canada in a long time who is not afraid of being politically incorrect for the just causes he beleives in. And all signs show that he will win again in the upcoming elections...
50. #47.. wear glasses

55. obama
roger ,   australia   (02.19.07)
recently the presidential hopeful pin-up boy made a statement that all US troops should be withdrawn from Iraq by March 2008. The Australian PM criticized his comment as giving a boost to the enemy and Obama told the Aussie PM, who already committed more than 1 thousand crack Aussie troops to Iraq, that he should match America's tens of thousands of troops commitment to Iraq or shut up. Australia, like almost any other country in the world, is not in a position to match the American commitment in Iraq but that does not mean Obama should patronize the PM, who is a strong supporter of America and within his power, does a lot to help America. Obama is (a typical leftist) patronizing a-- - hole! Go Rudy!!!
56. obaba,Justin IM sorry to say zionist control the us

57. Pathetic comments
Gregory ,   NY, USA   (02.19.07)
OMG, some Jews are even more pathetic than I thought! Make no mistake, unfortunately Jewish people are still the most hated group in the US because a lot of them don't have any loyalty to the US, they only care about Israel. So what on earth gives you the right to make racist comments about U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama? Get a life!
58. #57 Climb back under your rock.
Vinnie ,   USA   (02.19.07)
59. # 56, 57, The anti Semites questioning Jewish loyalties
Rachel Levinson ,   Yad Eliyahu   (02.19.07)
Any american can be a dual citizen and have dual allegiance. It's too bad that you don't know anything about being a dual-National, where one owes allegiance to both the United States and a foreign country. Nor do you know a thing about being a dual national and serving in the Armed Forces of a country besides the US. You are the purest form of ignoramuses that babbles on about things that you know nothing about.
60. jew haters are at it again; accusing us of starting all wars
WebGuy ,   US   (02.19.07)
For decades we have been hearing that Jews control America and American foreign policy. During both world wars, antisemites said that Jews manipulated America into war. So when you begin to hear it again, there is good reason for us to be aware of it and sensitive to it.
