Brooklyn, NY – Hikind: Obama Is Frightening, Vote McCain

    61

    Brooklyn, NY – For 20 years, Barack Obama Did Not Right the Wrongs of the Reverend Wright’s Racist and anti-Israel Rants. If Obama couldn’t stand up for what’s right, how is he going to be the president of the United States?

    Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) today endorsed Senator John McCain for President of the United States, saying, “It’s about character, and Barack Obama can not look the American people in the eye and say that he did not know that his Reverend was an unrepentant racist – the man who consecrated his marriage, who baptized his children, who was his spiritual advisor and confidante. It’s not plausible, it’s disingenuous, and it disqualifies him from ably serving as the president of the United States.

    “The Reverend Jeremiah Wright repeatedly lauded Louis Farrakhan, conferring upon him honorific titles, often sounding like a devoted disciple of Farrakhan’s. Farrakhan called Judaism the ‘synagogue of Satan.’ And Rev. Wright echoed the anti-Semitism, blaming Israel for 9/11. Wright said, ‘You don’t see the connection between 9-11-01 and the Israeli Palestinian?…..something wrong?….You wanna buy my glasses?’

    Obama did nothing. He said nothing. Not for one year. Not for five years…not even after 10 years. For 20 years, Obama did not protest his pastor’s racist tantrums. That is a catastrophic error in
    judgement and brings into question whether he has the integrity, the strength of character and the discerning judgment to lead our great country.

    Obama issued a disclaimer on Reverend Wright, contending he had not heard the virulent anti-America and anti-Israel sermons. How can he disclaim two decades of Wright’s disgraceful diatribes when he not only said nothing but in fact supported Reverend Wright’s church in word and deed? For this alone, Obama disqualified himself for the presidency.

    Obama was wrong on Wright and he is wrong for President.

    Obama’s view on world politics is frightening. “I cannot support Obama’s willingness to sit down personally with Ahmadinejad, or other leaders who call for the destruction of Israel, without reconditions.

    Our country needs a President with a backbone and the strength to face our enemies. If Barack Obama didn’t have the courage and wisdom to denounce his racist reverend in Chicago, how on earth will he deal with America’s enemies who want to destroy everything America stands for?”

    “As a proud American and a proud Jew, I will cast my ballot for President for John McCain. Barack Obama has not done anything to deserve my vote.”

    Its a shame that Hikind is located in Ny . His endorsement does not do much in the blue state of NY. If he were a politician in FL then maybe it will have an effect

    He is so dumb for coming out and attacking the guy who has good chances of being the next President.

    Its one thing to endorse somone who shares your values and concerns, its another thing to open your big mouth.

    Shame on you Hikind.

    You can’t imagin how right you are, people are scared to death, (go to your shull or mikva and by a family simcha, never saw heimishe oilum so terrified).
    When a democratic national never reached out to orthodox jews, and have such radical freinds, and his background is full of clouds, even beside his liberal policys’s of tax and welfare.
    His anti business enviroment reminds people what dinkins was for nyc, even as a personality he was a real “Mench”.
    His rallies reminds people of Germany in the 30’s, his media coverage reminds people of isreal vs the world.

    Even those who voted for Clinton and Gore and later for kerry, told me this time we can’t defend him, so what should a pro value guy say?
    People in NYC/NYS can make a difference, even it don’t make the electoral count.
    Also, in NJ it could make a big difference, in Philly it could make a big difference as ohio.
    The massage for our political representetive will be very strong if all of us came out and realy vote.
    In todays world, votes for a president is not just him personal, in the next years to come everyone wants to see what are the issues for this community, they look how they voted in presidential election.
    so again, everyone needs to go to the polls and vote next teusday.

    It’s not just Wright, or even Ayers and Dohrn, the bloodthirsty terrorists. Obama is a CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND of Rashid Khalidi, and was a close personal friend of Edward Said (what’s the opposite of olov hasholom? if someone is not resting in peace, what is he resting in? war? whatever, Said hot shen gepeigert.) This should worry Jews, at least a little.

    Dov Hikind has more guts and more integrity than Joe Lieberman. Just the other day, Lieberman said that he will support Obama if he wins. So you can see Lieberman is getting ready to go either way and that means he has no brave and strong convictions; he’s a fence sitter.
    Dov Hikind however, also stood up against those rabbis who allowed molesting to go on and on, without a protest and uncontested for DECADES.
    if not for his recent airing of the issue, the innocence and sanity of our children would still be ignored for more years.
    I’m voting for McCain iy”H.

    Kudos to Dov for coming out and trying to make things right.

    Folks this is real Obama is a Marxist, everything he stands for which is just about nothing.

    He has voted for higher taxes in his state of Illinois!

    He has raised socialists agenda ever since he was a community organizer!

    Hes been appeasing the east and will meet with rouge leaders with out pre-conditions!

    He promises to redistribute the wealth, come on that is so MARXIST!

    He has hundreds of thousands attend his rally’s like Hitler, Carter etc.

    Aside from the fact that all the hysterical attacks on Obama are premised on garbage, the plain fact is that the winner should be shmeicheled, not attacked.

    It is a big rachmones on the golus yidden in AmeRICHke who only think of what is good financially. Obama is NOT black, he is mostly Arab, with half white blood and a little black blood in him. He refuses to produce a valid US Birth Certificate, his friends are Tony Rezko, Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Rashid Khalidi, Khalid Al- Mansour, Richard Lugar,Ayers, Dohrn, Brezinski, Carter,Samantha Power, Tony McPeak, Robert O. Malley, Susan Rice, and every other anti-semite Jew hater there is. Iran wants him to win, Hamas wants him to win etc. He was a member of the New Party and DSA, his ACORN is guilty of fraud and violating voting laws.
    How much more proof do you need that this man will be a disaster for the USA and Israel?

    Dov is on target. We must realize McCain is going to win big time. Fact is the old Jews fear telling the polls and others that they are voting McCain. I drive around manhattan with McCain bumper stickers and goyim all over congratulate me and tell me how full of fear trhey are that Obama is running. I tell them dont worry all the orthodox Jews are voting McCain. They feel relieved.We religious Jews must lead the way against the next hitler. You dont have a clue how dangerous Obama is. Even the liberal Jewish week allowed ads into their paper last week warning of a future holocaust if Obama is elected. Jews wake up.

    A letter to the editor in today’s Hamodia reads:

    Heed the Messages in Obama’s Story

    It is established Jewish wisdom that if you want to know who a person is, look at his friends. As Sen. Barack Obama stated in his book, the person who had the greatest influence on his life until age 18, upon investigation by Investor’s Business Daily, turned out to be a communist. His pastor for 20 years was an anti-white, anti-American, hate-filled racist. His first political campaign began in the home of Bill Ayers, a terrorist who helped found the Weathermen, a terrorist organization in the 1960s and 1970s, an unrepentant individual who only regrets not having done more. Yet Obama claims not to have known what these people believed or preached. Do you believe him?
    He is a man who promises one thing–for example, stating that Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel when speaking to AIPAC — and then “changes his mind” within 24 hours. He promised to accept public funding for the campaign, and then changed his mind again when he saw an advantage. Can we trust any of his promises?
    He wants to be president of the U.S. but explained his refusal to wear a U.S. flag pin because it might be offensive to some people in the world. I thought he was running for U.S. president, not world president. He explained his refusal to show deference for the “Star Spangled Banner,” the national anthem, because it was too bellicose. Perhaps the words “land of the free and home of the brave” irk him too much. Is there a pattern in all this?
    Perhaps McCain isn’t the greatest choice for president, but at least we know he loves this country. As I understand it, our mandate to vote in the elections is based on our obligation to show hakaras hatov to this country. Wouldn’t it make sense to vote for someone who loves America rather than someone who despises all it stands for?
    The haftorah of Parashas Bereishis states, “O deaf ones listen, and blind ones, gaze to see,” followed by “Seeing much but heeding not, opening ears but hearing not.” The prophet Yeshayahu is talking to us.
    May Hashem protect us from all evil and bring the geulah very soon.

    We will hear all election day about how commanding a lead Osama Obama has based on exit polling. However once the REAL polls start coming in, we will see how wrong the exit polls were AGAIN. I firmly believe that the people coming out of the polling places will lie to the polsters by telling them they voted Obama when in fact they voted McCain.

    Personally, I will vote & scream from the roof tops that I DID NOT vote for the biggest lefty that ever ran for president.

    Thank you Dov for being an honest politician and not going along with the democratic party. Perhaps after this is over, of which we fear that it will end badly for us. We will finally form a stronger Republican party, with all current Democrats leading the way, We’ve seen in the very recent past especially with the debacle of the UN rally how the Democratic party is leading us by our noses, let’s show the koach of the Jews and start to “change:” things for ourselves. Dov is the one politician who will not be bullied by his party and do what is right. The Rabbonim are scared to come out and say don’t vote for obama because the democratic party is holding them hostage with money threats. Let’s show our koach

    Dear Dov,
    thanks for your integrity, as a frum Jewish leader of our community and as a responsible proud American citizen. We as children and grandchildren of survivors need to recognize our obligation to those who died during those terrible Shoah years that it should not have been in vain. Hakoras Hatov or lack thereof is at the bottom of this very sensitive situation. All of us need to recognize that the United States of America has been until now a Media Shel Chesed, certainly for us! We as orthodox Jews have thrived here. Hatzlacha to all of us. tomorrow is Rosh Chodesh, may Hashem answer our prayers l’tova!

    OBAMA DISTORTS AND LIES — ALL AMERICANS TO PAY HIGHER TAXES

    Senator Obama is not being truthful when he says only Americans earning $250,000 will get a tax increase.

    Senator Obama plans to let the current 2007 rates lapse. The rates under Obama will return to the higher 2000 level. Senator Obama claims that letting a tax cut lapse is not a “tax increase.”

    But requiring Americans to pay more taxes in 2008 than in 2007 amounts to a TAX INCREASE.

    For a married family, filing jointly and earning $75,000 a year, this INCREASE will be $3,074.

    For a married family, filing jointly and earning $50,000, this INCREASE will be $1,512.

    Even struggling American families making just $25,000 a year will see a tax INCREASE– they’ll pay $715 more in 2010 than they did in 2007.

    Across the board, ALL WORKING AMERICANS WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT INCREASES in their taxes with Obama’s plans.

    Yes, it will affect Americans even if their household income is as low as $25,000.

    Diplomacy is of utmost import to our community. Our communty leaders MUST know how to grease the palms of those who will be in power. If at this point, Mr. Hikind cant chage the vote of NY, he should NOT fight it, rather let Obama think that we trust him and back him, as much as we all hate him and evrythiing he stands for! Only if he knows we stand behind him we he possibly work on our behalf.

    You are wrong.
    Politician’s are not stupid and you can’t fool them.

    All you can do by showing that you will smile to them, in spite of them stabbing you in the back, is to encourage THEM and OTHER POLITICIANS, that Jews like you have no backbone and no self respect and and that all politicians will LEARN FROM YOU to spit at Jews Voters, while the Jewish voters will REWARD them with their vote BECAUSE they spat at them.

    If Jews show politicians that they have no backbone and will vote for a RASHA, just to try and appease him anyway, they learn a lesson form you:

    The lesson you are teaching all politicians is that the Jewish vote has no backbone and does not depend on any real issues because Jews are WIMPS, who will vote for whomever they thing is the inevitable winner anyway even if the politicians continue to abuse the Jewish voters, again and again and again – and that’s exactly what they WILL do if we show them that we are such wimps.

    Jewish Power on election day depends on one thing and on one thing only that we refuse to vote for a Rosho, even if we think he may win anyway – we stick to our principals and THAT is what politicians respect and reckon with.
