Unbelievable, so McCain thinks Palestinians are equal to Neo-Nazis

[TeamJordan23]

In a Miami radio interview, McCain again pounds on Obama's ties to William Ayers and blasts the LA Times for not releasing an alleged videotape said to depict Obama with a former PLO spokesman.

"The Los Angeles Times refuses to make that videotape public. I'm not in the business of talking about media bias but what if there was a tape with John McCain with a neo-Nazi outfit being held by some media outlet?"

"I think the treatment of the issue would be slightly different."

1. Well , Obama thinks that Israel can do no wrong ....

Frankly , I don't care for his position on the I/P issue . And the Gay marriage Issue too.

2. Considering he funded this guy

he ought to know huh? Seriously--he gave this guy and his agency over a half-million dollars in grant funding so he's tied to this guy too.

But this may be enough to make the Jews in Florida rethink voting for Obama.

7. I probably shouldn't say this out loud...

I'm Jewish. I'm more observant than either of my parents. I identify as *most* American Jews, as a Reformed Jew.

If the tape *was* released - it would definately cut some of Obama's Jewish support. But not all. Ultra orthodox Jews and very conservative Jews, were not going to vote for him anyways. There are a LOT of Jews (all around the world including Israeli Jews) who believe having a dialogue with Palestinian leadership (as it were) - is not a bad thing. There are many Jews who desparately want to believe in a peaceful solution.

Personally? Again, I probably shouldn't say this out loud - I'm hopeful that Obama will have the gravitas with the Palistinians that may be able to finally broker a legitimate peace accord.

8. According to McCain and the Republicans,

ALL Arabs and ALL Muslims are by definition terrorists.

Why ANY Arab-American or Muslim American would EVER vote for these people, now or in the future, is utterly beyond me. And I'm thinking most won't, this time around.

9. What the fuck do they think the tape will show?

Obama smiling as someone reads a poem saying "DEATH TO ISRAEL AND DEATH TO THE JEWS!!!"?


If there was a poem it was probably just critical of Israel to some extent, and condemned US support (the "consequences" we've heard so much about.) Why do they think the LA Times is now part of some conspiracy?

10. And this is exactly why McCain can't be president. He says crap like

this and does nothing to help our standing in the world. He insults those people that already hate us the most. In school, I bet his teachers always commented: Does not play well with others.

11. If talking to PLO spokesmen ruled you out..

then all recent Prime Ministers of Israel would be ruled out. It's Hamas that, at least officially, they don't speak to - not the PLO.
