You know, your right. Some of them are just anti-white people, not all Americans. I don't have more than 3 seconds (and not even that) so I did a tiny bit of research and pulled up some names
Ayres - anti-American but 'repented' Wright - Anti-American but forgotten "In April 2004, Barack Obama told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times that he had three spiritual mentors or counselors: Jeremiah Wright, James Meeks, and Father Michael Pfleger" I'll skip the other two mentors as race baiting is not anti-American. Khalidi - pro-suicide bombing but not anti-American. Said to be a former PLO spokesman though this is probably unofficial Dr. Khalid al-Mansour - Anti-American? Just anti-White or Jewish. And that cutting thing against whites, just hyperbole. Tony Rezko - criminal but not Anti-American. And those middle eastern ties (such as Syria) are probably just stories used to build smoke against Obama. Mazen Asbahi - "a frequent speaker before several groups in the U.S. that scholars have associated with the Muslim Brotherhood." Minha Husaini - "met with members of several Islamic organizations in Virginia on September 15 -- including some that terrorism experts say have ties to Hamas and the radical Muslim Brotherhood." Besides Khalidi, a few anti-israel members of Obama's campaign include Merrill McPeak, vice chairman of Obama's campaign and his chief military adviser - blames problems in the Middle East on the influence of people who live in New York City and Miami whom no 'politician wants to run against' and who he says exercise undue influence on America's foreign affairs. Maybe he means Episcopalians. Samantha Power, a very close adviser whom Obama fired for calling Hillary a 'monster' but who says she still expects to be in Obama's administration. Not only has Power has advocated the ending of all aid to Israel and redirecting it to the Palestinians, but she has spoken about the need to land a 'mammoth force' of US troops in Israel to protect the Palestinians from Israeli attempts at genocide (sic) -- and has complained that criticism of Barack Obama all too often came down to what was 'good for the Jews'. Muslim outreach advisers - dumped Bottom line goes to wisdom of association. I'm not saying he's been influenced by people with truly vile ideas/ideals over many years. I'm not saying that they will have a place in his cabinet. I'm saying that he has more than a passing association with people who are not friends to me as an American, me as a Jew and me as someone seen by them as white. And no, I don't think Jews have a place with the Christian right any more than we do with the liberal left. One wants to convert us or punish us for rejecting their god while the other sees us as the root of all evil (or Israel is and Jews by extension). And as a side note, I've said a few times I wished that the Bush/Saudi ties were more investigated as I think that they have been, are and will be a detriment to this country. As for your post, did you resend it? If so, was it a plain text post or a 'rich text' one? Can you CC me if/when you do resend it. I'm not blocking it because of content or sender so it must be something else. Hell, I even let Gruss's posts through. Shows how liberal I am. :) On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 9:08 PM, Maureen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've counted three who you might be able to call anti-American if you > stretch the definition so that anti-Israeli equal anti-America.
