WORDS (about Jerusalem) MATTER

Rick Richman:

Obama has had at least four positions in the last two months:

(1) let me be clear, Jerusalem must remain undivided;

(2) I just meant there should not be barbed wire between the divisions;

(3) the Clinton partition plan for dividing Jerusalem is a starting point for negotiations;

and (4) undivided, re-divided -- just "one of those final status decisions" to be made by Israel and the Palestinians, can't tell you my feeling.

The first position was "poorly phrased."

The second was word-splitting that would embarrass Bill Clinton.

The third was an affirmative endorsement of dividing Jerusalem.

The fourth was a punt after the first three didn't work.

And throughout, he has maintained that he hasn't changed his original position.

This is the candidate who says words matter.

This one's got legs, so forward to your lists, your favorite bloggers and editors, your reps in Congress, your favorite presidential candidate and last but not least, your leftie friends.

It couldn't be more important.

First let me say this – I am not saying that BHO, or his philosophy, are necessarily comparable to Hitler. What I am saying though, is that I believe that what is going on in this campaign has the potential to be every bit as dangerous as what happened during Hitler’s rise to power. Hitler – a man with absolutely no credentials to lead a country like Germany – masterfully used propaganda to gain power over an amazingly short period of time. BHO - a man with absolutely no credentials to lead a country like the United States – has had the most effective propaganda machine in history handed to him on a silver platter and whose rise in power has been nothing short of amazing. BHO is the archetypical hollow man. No one can say that they truly know this man and what is said to be known about him, no one can be certain of. Virtually every time he speaks, he dissembles and fabricates with such oratorical prowess – and he’s never called on it. If he can do that while he is running, what will keep him from doing it once elected? Can we believe anything he says about anything? Under these circumstances, should we trust he will stand with Israel? Does any of this paranoia mean he’s necessarily dangerous? I just think one should be able to truly believe something - anything about a man who would be the leader of the most powerful country in the world - at least something more significant than his ability to channel Mussolini whenever he strikes a pose.
