ADL Statement Suggests Obama Must Distance Himself from Sharpton
by Bill Levinson
NJDC’S Guide to Responding to Obama, Clinton, and Edwards Smears aimed at Jewish Voters contains a statement from Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League. This statement leaves little doubt that Barack Obama must distance himself from the prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton if he expects voters to take him for anything but a sick and demented practical joke on the American people.
ADL National Director Abraham Foxman released a statement saying: “We welcome Barack Obama’s condemnation of the anti-Semitic rhetoric of Minister Louis Farrakhan, and his making clear that he did not agree with his church’s decision to honor Farrakhan. Issues of racism and anti-Semitism must be beyond the bounds of politics. When someone close to a political figure shows sympathy and support for an individual who makes his name espousing bigotry, that political figure needs to distance himself from that decision. Senator Obama has done just that.”
If the ADL expects Obama to distance himself from second-hand contact with a professional bigot and hate monger (the contact being through the intermediary of Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ), then what are we to say of his direct and repeated contact with, and outright endorsement and promotion of, a racist and anti-Semite like Al Sharpton?

Shalom Bill,
So if cosmetic distancing is accomplished, won’t America’s Jews still give at least 80% of their vote and >80% of their campaign contributions to the Democrat Party?

Shalom Teshuva,
Frosty Wooldridge’s “..Obama represents the best of African-Americans” cannot be supported.
Obama spoke before the National Education Association. This union destroyed any chance for blacks to leave their predictament like eg the Irish and Jews did.
Lower wage rates represents goodness. There are about 1.3 billion new foreign workers competing against America’s low quality work force. Lower wage rates are required to attempt to remain competive. The alternative is higher wage rates but no job.

The title above is “Black America Hosed by Obama & White Politicians”, not “Hosted.” It is traitorous to support the Mexican invasion which takes jobs from blacks and to do that to those of one’s color is racist. But both Obama and the Mexican invasion are encouraged by the Illuminati Power Elite which intend to enrich themselves, eliminate the middle class, creating a few rich at the top and a lot of slaves at the bottom.
>>>Lower wage rates represents goodness.
Poverty is not Goodness. Despising, that is, not caring about, the poor makes one a sodomite.
Pr 14:21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
Pr 14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

Re:
I am sure that Obama (and Clinton) are counting on this. They feel that they can consort with whatever anti-Semites and racists they please without any consequences from the Jewish Left.
