- - - On Aug. 29, the Democratic Party issued a release quoting U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) as saying that McCain's pick was a "direct affront to all Jewish Americans" because of reports of Palin's past associations with Buchanan, who has long postulated that the pro-Israel lobby is inordinately influential and that Hitler might have been contained through peaceful means. Wexler's comments appear based on a 1999 report that Palin wore a Buchanan button during Buchanan's visit to Wasilla, the town she then led as mayor. At that time, however, Palin had written a letter to the local paper explaining that she wore campaign buttons as a matter of courtesy when candidates came to visit the town. Palin was an official of the campaign of Steve Forbes, who like Buchanan was contending for the Republican presidential nomination. - - - Let me get this straight. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn hold Obama's first-ever political fundraiser in their home. Obama works with Ayers on a non-profit board for several years (his only real executive experience, actually). With the help of convicted felon Tony Rezko, Obama moves into the Hyde Park neighborhood where Ayers lives, and Jeremiah Wright (who recently gave Louis Farrakhan a "lifetime achievement award") just got his $1.6mil home, courtesy of the church Obama attended for 20 years. But we're not allowed to infer any kind of relationships or shared views there, no way, no how. Palin, on the other hand, greeted candidate Buchanan to her town as mayor when he was campaigning by wearing his pin (as was her custom, despite being a Forbes supporter), and from this we can conclude without a shadow of a doubt that she hates Israel. All-righty then.... I love it ... the Dems are going right to the experience and past associations issues that highlight what a lightweight Obama is like flies to a ... well you know. Obama may be against all this, or he may be posturing to appear above the fray, but he's going to have one helluva time reigning these bozos in, and the effect of their behavior will not help him at all. Part of me suspects the hand of Hillary's political machine, subtly undermining Obama so she can run again in 2012. Not only is Palin a great choice, she's the perfect rope-a-dope for the worst instincts of the Democrat party's smear machine. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
