		<description>OBAMA = 20 YEARS OF ANTISEMITISM AT WRIGHT&#039;S CHURCH
Obama has been relentless in seducing  America&#039;s youth, and controlling the media. What&#039;s next? ... teaching our children to turn their parents in to the Gestapo? These tactics have been used before ... and, they&#039;re right out of the Nazi and Islamic/madrassa play books. Wake up America ... the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.</description>

		<description>All of you people commenting on Sharansky&#039;s supposed &quot;double standard&quot; really don&#039;t know a thing about his politics, ideology, vision, or beliefs.  Try reading even one of his three books.  You will see that he is much more of a human rights activist than any of you armchair pundits typing away, who have never been to Israel, and who have no clue the complexities of the politics of the Middle East.  Read a book.  

http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB121815474002722569.html

Or at least start with something Sharansky wrote, rather than ONE SNIPPET from ONE INTERVIEW that is used in all right-wing and Republican publications to villify Obama.  Better yet, try going to one of Sharansky&#039;s speeches, and asking him to clarify his position on Obama.  I did...you might be surprised.</description>

		<description>I was watching a documentary yesterday on Free Speech TV about the Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967.  

More shameful even than the Israeli machinations in trying to draw us into its war by launching a false flag attack on a U.S. ship, was Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamaras&#039; behavior -- they were willing to sacrifice the lives of U.S. service members to placate Israel, despite Israel&#039;s treachery!

McCain&#039;s father was instrumental in the cover-up of the Liberty attack. One would think that would make McCain ashamed, but instead it&#039;s made him even more of a Zionist.

There are no guarantees with Obama, but with McCain and his love for the Zionist state we can be sure of WW III.</description>

		<description>Preach it, brother! Mad Bomber McInsane puts Israel&#039;s interests ahead of America&#039;s. McInsane sees nothing wrong with sacrificing the lives of young American men and women for Israel. The Israel Lobby has him under its thumb. And rabid Zionist swine like Sharansky are only concerned about Israel anyway.

Piss on all of &#039;em.</description>

		<description>Israel is to America what Serbia was to Czarist Russia. We all know what happened to Czarist Russia. Extending this analogy a bit further, Dubya is not unlike Czar Nicholas, witless, and who came to power at the age of just twenty-six with no formal training. As for Rasputin, well there is a role Cheney was born to play.</description>

		<description>Sharansky&#039;s endorsement is another red flag not to vote for McCain.  The problem is I don&#039;t like Obama either.</description>

		<description>In a normal democracy, the minority of the electorate don&#039;t hold such sway over the wishes, wants and needs of the majority. How Americans continue to allow themselves to be beholden to those in power holding dual loyalties, and to those whose actual votes are in the single digits percentage wise is beyond measure, and bordering on just plain weird.</description>

		<description>Sharanskyâ€™s Double Standard 

For the advocate of universal democracy, human rights donâ€™t begin at home.

&quot;The issue that has done the most to convince many Israelis that Sharanskyâ€™s commitment to democratic procedures is selective was his recent behavior as minister for Jerusalem. In June 2004, in a move Haâ€™aretz reported in an article aptly entitled â€œLike Thieves in the Night,â€ Sharansky and another minister met secretly and declared large tracts of Arab land in Jerusalem to be abandoned and therefore subject to confiscation. The land was not really abandoned. Rather, the Palestinian owners could not assert their claim because their property was on the wrong side of Israelâ€™s security fence. Lower ranking Ministry of Justice officials objected to this decision, but it did not become a public issue until Israelâ€™s attorney general formally declared Sharanskyâ€™s move illegal. Labor Member of Knesset Amram Mitzna simply labeled it â€œtheft.â€ ...


..&quot;Even before he became formally active in Israeli politics, Sharansky was linked with some shady characters. The Scotsman tied Sharanskyâ€™s Yisrael Bâ€™Aliyah to Russian mafia figure Grigory Lerner. According to the Jerusalem Post, Israelâ€™s Internal Security Minister Avigdor Kahalani also confirmed that as minister for trade and industry, Sharansky organized a 1996 meeting between another Russian Jew, Grigory Luchansky, and Likud Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhu. The London Times called Luchansky â€œthe most dangerous non-convicted person in the worldâ€ and the British government barred him from the country. The Israeli government also refused to renew his passport because of his suspected ties to Russian organized crime. Luchansky himself admitted to Globes that he gave money directly to Sharansky in 1995 or 1996 for his charitable organization for Russian immigrants.&quot;

		<description>Any person who has more loyalty to another country (most of Congress including John McCain, in the case of Israel) should move there.  

With Israel using all its wiles and threats to get us to attack Iran, Israel is a &quot;risk&quot; to the entire world. It behooves us all to start a discussion of exactly how much of a risk Israel is with our entire circle of acquaintances.  This even if the discussion is an uncomfortable one because Americans have been brain-washed from day one to believe that the Jewish Holocaust was the worst holocaust in all of history.  It was horrible, but there have been many in my lifetime alone, including our slaughter of Iraqis, Afghans, Vietnamese, Laotians, Cambodians, Central Americans, etc.

My parents lived through a religious war where millions on both sides were slaughtered in a matter of months, each side targeting other human beings SOLELY BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.  Sound familiar?  And yet some Jews seriously think that they are the only group that has suffered ever.  

In my experience, younger American Jews are becoming much more broadminded about Israel and can look at its actions without bias.  These young Jews could teach Congress a lesson, if Congress was not so enmeshed in the cycle of bribes and threats from the pro-Israel lobbies,including the whacko &quot;Christian&quot; Zionists.</description>
