Poll question: Just how far has Joe Farah of WorldNutDaily cranked up the craziness?
There was a line in that address that deserves some special attention. I haven't seen anyone else point it out yet. To understand its impropriety you have to remember where it was delivered. And you have to appreciate that this was a prepared speech. Presidential speeches, especially those delivered on foreign soil, are scrupulously vetted, revised, rewritten, edited and carefully scripted for the Teleprompter in Chief. At least I assumed they were.

"The speech was delivered at Buchenwald, one of the most notorious concentration camps operated by Nazis, a place where some 56,000 people, mostly Jews, were murdered in what Adolf Hitler hoped would be the "final solution" to the "Jewish problem."

This is the shockingly unbelievable line that struck my attention – one that was in such poor taste that it couldn't possibly have survived scrutiny by competent speechwriters and editors unless there was some intention behind it: "We are here today because we know this work is not yet finished."

Now, don't tell me I am taking this line out of context. I know I am. I understand the context – that the fight continues against those who deny the Holocaust."

Farah then goes on to explain that you can't just rely on the context in which Obama delivered this line because you have to understand the "real" context, meaning that Obama supports Iran's right to obtain nuclear weapons in order to wipe Israel off the map and he does so because he is secretly a Muslim who speaks in "code" to the rest of the Muslim world and is actively seeking to give aid and comfort to Israel's enemies.
