My father once told me a story. It goes like this:
A Professor heard that the local asylum had received a new patient, and that this patient, though insane, was gifted and learned. He began a correspondence with him, and indeed, the poor inmate was gifted with a temperate and deep wisdom. The professor could not but insist on visiting, and was led into the inmate’s cell, where he informed the attendant that he was perfectly safe and wished to be left alone with his friend. He was not disappointed; their conversation was everything he hoped for, and he grew more amazed by the moment that anyone would consider his friend anything but sane. As he stood up to leave, his friend seized his leg and viciously bit him. He screamed, what kind of maniac are you? Why did you bite me? The inmate answered, I may be insane, or I may not be insane, but you are demonstrably a fool for trusting an inmate of an insane asylum.

Barzilai:

Good story, probably wasted on those who most need to hear it.

GOOD NEWS:

Barack Obama's once double-digit lead over John
McCain in a hypothetical match-up has evaporated, according to a just released Associated Press poll.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are now statistically tied with McCain, suggesting the Arizona senator may be benefiting from the drawn out Democratic primary race.

Jake:

It's also worth mentioning that Obama always polls much higher than he actually performs.

It's a race thing.

People tell polsters that they are going to vote for Barack Obama, because, y'know, they wanna look all liberal and fuzzy-wuzzy, but once they get into the booth they get a grip on reality and determine that they are not going to vote for a man who has been in the Senate for two and half years, has the most leftist voting record since Karl Marx, is supported by Jew-haters and Jihadists everywhere.

Of course, Dems will support him because they are, at core, racists, like Nazis they put a premium on blood and skin color, but in the general election, sane Americans, Republicans and Independents, will turn their backs on this radical leftist who swims with Weathermen and Jew-haters.

This is the kind of testimony that's needed.

And what was the reaction from the Mayor and the other dignataries?

This guy should go work with Obama's Pastor.....or preferably, go to h*ll.

Jeremiah:

I wonder if Ms. Ziman will still vote for Obama?

Mark:

Lee is already denying he made the anti-Semitic statements. So far, nada from the Mayor, who's not going to alienate the black vote over this, that I can guarantee.

Look, as I said, black Jew-hatred is a tsunami all over America, we all know it, just no one will dare admit it, or talk about it.

And it's found a nice comfortable outpost in the Obama campaign, much to the relief of the Jew-hating blacks and Muslims.

Ms. Ziman is color-blind, but now she discovers that the people she's helping are not, to put it mildly. I wonder where she'll go from here. More of the same, or is there a lesson to be learned?

Check out Lee's mealy-mouthed apology/denial on Stand With Us.

I just got an update from Naomi Regan's email list - here's a link to a video interview with Ms. Ziman's reactions to the despicable incident. It's about 5 minutes and so worth watching. http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/reverend-eric-lees-anti-semitism-a-personal-story-video/

Robert is right, black candidates almost always poll higher than they actually do on election day. Ask Tom Bradley, former L.A. mayor who ran for Governor of California twice, led in the polls both times, and lost both times in the end.

With McCain running, I truly believe all 50 states will be in play for him. He may not have enough to get over the hump in New York or California, but states like Minnesota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and 1 or 2 others that went to Kerry in '04 are very winnable for McCain.

If Obama wins (please God don't let this happen) we are going to see tons of ugly for four years while the black community is in the spotlight because the politics within the greater black community are very intense, to put it mildly. It is quite diverse in its own right- in some good and clearly not so good ways. We will see the great, the good, and the awful- like Lee.

Of course scumbags like Lee are out there and there are plenty of knuckleheads filling the pews. There is a ton of homophobia in the black community as well, which I found shocking when I first started working in schools in the South. Now, I'm less naive. I watched a black teacher (who is all about supporting her community) call a kid a 'fag' and join the entire class in laughing at him. This was not an uncommon experience. It is my personal prayer that God give her ten gay children of her own.

Kishke:

Ms. Ziman is a well known liberal Democrat. I think she'll take refuge in serious denial.

Alice:

You are a pistol. Ten gay children! Is that five male homosexuals and five lesbians?

Any assortment will do. And may they all have commitment ceremonies and adopt.

I've written at length about Black racism being the worst in the USA. I've spent the last twenty years working with blacks (I was once the only white guy in a section) and their hateful remarks about Jews, Asians, Mexicans, and women are just non stop. The bigots are Black. Period.

Howard:

Thanks so much for confirming our thesis. Keep up the fine work.

I don't know if Standwithus had to truncate the message because of non-profit tax reasons, but here's the rest of the letter that I received (via Naomi Ragen):

"I cried for our beloved country and the division that Barack Obama has caused with his Rev.
Wright opening the gates to 'hate' against the Jews and whites. I grew up so looking at America as the land of Freedom. I was honored to receive my citizenship accompanied by members of the
Kennedy family. Now, I'm afraid for Israel because Barack sat there for 20 years listening and not standing up for what's right, why would he standup for Israel?

I cried for the Jewish community who are so blind that they can't see that there's a movement here that will destroy us.I cried because for the first time in my life I was afraid of the future.

I cried for our world that is moving backwards and not forward. Everyday, I see children so lost, and so deserving of hope and love. I look into their eyes, knowing that it is their lives that are in our hands.

I'm crying now, so I'm going to stop writing because it is so painful. I just had to share this experience with you,"

(That's all I received)

So I'm guessing she's not voting for Obama...

How dare this man insult this good woman, and using a platform that was meant to honor her!
What a pig! This is the company that Obama keeps, these are Obama's beliefs too, yet those who would vote for him cannot see.
They are blind to any negative remarks toward BO, they refuse to see.
They refuse to see.
Why support a man who is sooo inexperienced?
Why support a man who has torn this country in two?
Why support a losing candidate?
Do you know who this man associates with?
Do you understand his beliefs?
Are you aware that if he is elected it will start riots across America?
There are 18 million people out here that want to be heard and want their votes to count!
We will make changes, changes in the way the DNC has handled itself, changes in who our representatives are, changes in how women are treated, we will continue to try to make a difference in the lives of all Americans, not just the selected few that BO represents.
He will never make it to the White House, this dirty dealing has got to stop and if congress, and the DNC are not willing to make the changes necessary to include the voices and votes of all people, then we will vote those in who will.

Hi, I am Theresa, I am african american and I am not in support of BO. The African American people don't understand the division that BO and his wife have cause within our country. God honors anyone that love Jews and Israel. Most of my doctors are Jewish and I trust them very much.
Anyone that don't love Jews will be cursed. Obama may get away with somethings with the American people but he will not get away with them with God. Obama was raised by an atheist and he don't have any fear of God. He even had his family in an anti-american and anti-white church.
We all just have to pull together and pray a little harder so we can defeat this man in November. I am sorry for any damage that my people are causing in this campaign. They are really blind and bitte, BO and his decietful campaign are adding fuel to the fire.

T.Morris:

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and articulate comment. Unfortunately, it looks like BO will receive over 90% of the black vote.

I think this is just a cmapign to make sure Jews don't vote for Obama and that black people are bad people. If one person talks badly about another person, that is a personal issue and no need to drag Obama's name. Thank You

Josh:

I do not want Jews or anyone to vote for Obama because I strongly disagree with his radical leftists politics. I believe he has not a clue about national security, and his collectivist politics will lead to economic disaster.

Further, Obama's 20-year association with a racist, Jew-hating Pastor and church indicates a broken moral compass.
