The Democrats' Christmas Pageant in September

 

Jews4Obama home page

This is the place where American Jews gathered in 2008 to volunteer and support the Barack Obama candidacy. We published the Jews for Obama Newsletter to educate our community about Obama and give them the tools and knowledge they need to effectively represent him to their families and friends. We ran the Jews for Obama group at My.BarackObama.com.

We developed extensive one-click email replies to the “Schvitz Boat” smears which circulate through our community. We archived Resources with news items, actions, petitions to sign, and media clips of Barack’s interaction with our community. Finally, we have a rich trove of endorsement transcripts and videos which you can send to your friends based on who they respect.

Now, as the 2012 election is upon us, the forces of disinformation in the Jewish-American community are again hard at work, portraying our president as a Muslim who “threw Israel under the bus” and is weak on Iran’s nuclear programme. It couldn’t be further from the truth! There is huge money behind the Republican Superpacs trying to influence us to move the embassy, free the spy, embrace settlements, end the peace process, and even to start another unprovoked war in the region.

It won’t happen on our watch....

 

Flashback: 2008

 .... Following in the footsteps of Truman, Kennedy and Reagan when facing our adversaries, Senator Obama will marshal all elements of American power to deny nuclear weapons to Iran. These presidents understood that tough principled diplomacy backed by real leverage strengthens America’s position in the world.

From the earliest days of this campaign, we have watched as unsubstantiated and vicious rumors have spread through our community. Not one of the rumors has proven true. We ask those who continue to stir up baseless fears of harm to Israel to cease at once. Each of us must choose to support a candidate based on his record and plans for the future, not malicious innuendo.

Our nation needs new leadership that can offer light instead of darkness, hope instead of fear, and opportunities for peace instead of the threat of endless war....

 

Now fast forward through the Next [4] Year[s] ... in Jerusalem, to Charlotte:

.... the platform is a bellwether of sorts. In 1988, the year that Jesse Jackson threw his weight around, the Democratic platform barely qualified as pro-Israel and eliminated any mention of Jerusalem. Its elimination a second time in 2012 represents a similar ascension of forces overtly hostile to Israel and unwilling to sign their name to even vague meaningless reassurances.

That is what the booing was really about. The pragmatists were being booed by the radicals for offering a sop to the naive voters who still think that there's any place for G-d or Jerusalem in the Democratic Party.

 

No room at the inn, eh? Reminds me of the Christmas story...

Okay, so the walls should be of stone, not American brickwork. You'll just have to use your imagination; it was the best I could find.

The strategem is as old as Marxism itself: To ingratiate yourself with a particular constituency, pretend you're "one of them." The American Commies during the 1930s were experts at "talking the talk" (never "walking the walk") of American patriotism; they never tired of waving the Red, White, and Blue or of using Fourth of July cliches to bolster their bona fides as "just plain, old-fashioned Americans" -- all the while striving mightily to make U.S. policy conform to the whims and wishes of the Politburo. The Jews4Obama crowd are using the same hoary techniques to insinuate themselves into the warm embrace of the Jewish community. The bold display of the "Kein Anu Yecholim" slogan, the use of the Yiddish "schvitz," the use of sweeping language ("This is the place where American Jews gathered ...") to imply that each and every American Jew is a dedicated and zealous Jew4Obama -- all of these techniques are right out of the Stalinist textbook, and all of them have the same purpose: to persuade the unaware that pledging one's allegiance to Jews4Obama is as Jewish as, say, eating matzoth on Pesach. The Left hasn't had a truly original idea since Marx settled his ample tush on a chair in the British Museum and wrote "Das Kapital." I wonder if that's why Jews4Obama spells "program" p-r-o-g-r-a-m-m-e -- a spelling almost never seen outside the British Isles. Whar a tiresome bunch of -- to use one of my grandmother's favorite epithets -- dreykops.
