What A Day, What A Day

Jesse Jackson, whether due to old age or just plain bitterness toward Barack Obama, re-exposed his anti-Semetic side:

According to a report in the NY Post today, Jackson told an audience at the World Policy Forum in Evian, France last week that the “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” will lose influence under an Obama administration.

“Obama is about change,” Jackson added. “And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it.”

The distancing from the hateful comments by the Obama gang was quite neutered, so to speak.

Speaking of Obama, Thomas Sowell opines:

Associations are very different from alliances. Allies are not just people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind of allies you choose says something about you.

Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands.

Some gave political support, and some gave financial support, to Obama’s election campaigns, and Obama in turn contributed either his own money or the taxpayers’ money to some of them. That is a familiar political alliance— but an alliance is not just an “association” from being at the same place at the same time.

Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America. No amount of flags on his campaign platforms this election year can change that.

And finally speaking of hatred — namely the kind expressed from tolerant, open-minded black liberals:

Comment 101: “All the mess african amercans [sic] have been through and this uncle tom negro is going to back the GOP. The racist party. I like john Mccain personally but his party has shown to be only for the rich and white. i dont care what anyone says this brotha can kick rocks.!”

Sadly, many blacks who are voting for Obama (including those who are voting for him solely on melanin blend) angrily want to kick James T. Harris in the rocks — or worse. Such is the stark reality of political diversity (or lack thereof) in the black community.

If Barack Obama is elected POTUS, it will not be a fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, but a testament to the down-and-dirty amalgam of Chicago machine politics and stealth Marxism.
