Barack Obama

This ad is rather tame.

While I think the advertisement is baloney, misguided, and irresponsible, it is a paid advertisement, and it says as much on the banner. I wouldn’t hold it against YW…

give me a break: you nuts. youre a typical lib who wants to squash liberties here in america. that is unless its the freedom to speak liberal ideas. that fact you are a liberal, is MY point. you are ashamed your party has been taken over by self righteous, self aggrandizing ( you see his acceptance speech, so much for global warming, he let off tons of carbon monoxide with those fire works) political hack socialists, that anyone saying it is considered, eeek, dare i say, a racist.

to ywn editors, as a conservative member of the group who paid for that advertisement, please leave the ad up. i ask every sane person to please click on that ad, and donate generously to the organization. it is the only conservative (political) jewish group, and it is recognized as such in the GOP.

and by the way, before you call me a racist for agreeing with the ad, the ad says nothing untrue, just look at carter. dumb peanut farmer. at least he ran a company, obama ran, NOTHING. he was a community organizer, which, btw for all that dont know, is something created by the infamous saul alinsky. read up on him, mr give me a break. see what you messiah is all about. read all about his communist grandparents who raised him, his communist father who abandoned him, his terrorist friends who launched his career, i dare you to explain all that to the SANE readers of this website!

“Give Me a Break”, Barak Hussein Obama is a Muslim, Jew-hating African American. Why should we not be worried about him?

Give Me A Break:

It falls under the first amendment. YWN has the right to put it up as long as it is not incendiary etc. It is your right as a consumer to not visit YWN.

Agreed with JoJo, it would be a violation of free speach just to take it off due to a political view. I did not see the ad, but as long as it did not contain any hate speach, the advertiser could be able to sue YWN, which we all agree would be a bad thing

(perhaps cantor/esq or other lawyer could comment from a law perspective)

TO ILLINI07..THE AD IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AND GUIDED HITS BULLS EYE AND TO THE POINT..

By Order of illini07! By Order of illini07!

You naughty boys are to refrain from referring to the HIGHLY ESTEEMED and GREATLY EXPERIENCED Barack Hussein Obama using his middle name! Nor is anyone to dare refer to his LOVING Pastor the Revered Jerimiah Wright or any other shady characters PREVIOUSLY associated with the former community-organizer of the Great State of Illinois!

Such talk is incendiary! Racist! Unproductive! Naughty! Fear-mongering! And of course illegal! (And besides, it might cost him the election!)

illini07: you said “While I think the advertisement is baloney, misguided, and irresponsible, it is a paid advertisement, and it says as much on the banner. I wouldn’t hold it against YW… “

now lets dissect this.

the ad asks, “concerned about barack obama?” nothing baloney here,

next, the answer. ” you should be”. sorry that this bothers you. its a partisan ad, so they are pushing partisan questions. it is not misguided anymore then asking if you are worried about mccain.

next, “history has shown that a naive and weak foreign policy has resulted in tragic outcomes for the jewish people….” this is a very true statement, regardless of you being a democrat or republican. foreign policy, when weak, is not good for jews in israel. now does this apply to obama. lets see. this is a man who thinks iran is not a threat, and wants to invade pakistan, an ally of the US. hes at best knowledgeable in world affairs, at worst, he is a complete idiot, who is in way over his head. either way, his foreign policy skills are pathetic. do you know that one of his official middle east advisers is an actor by the name of Geirge Clooney. now for those who dont know who he is, he is a really good actor. very famous. and very anti israel. he is what is called an arabist, similar to the ones who staff the middle east desks at the state dept. he believes the entire isarel should be an arab state. this is barack millhouse obamas middle east adviser. and you say this is shenanigans. well i say shenanigans on you!

you are a communist believer, following the dictates of some of the worst leaders in history- from Stalin to Hitler. By stopping free speech (and Obama’s campaign can pay for an ad if they even cared about the Jews, you are sumbitting yourself to have a worse America for our children. Be a liberal like you say you are and be liberal minded to other ideas… maybe you would learn something…like our constitution…

Maybe you shouldnt just vote the party line and try something else- like listening to what the candidates have to say on important issues!

Jent:

Liberalism =/= Communism. Got that, McCarthy?

Will Hill:

When did I ever say it was racist? But you’re right – I do think that the WAY IN WHICH his middle name is thrown around here is disingenuous, dishonest, and reeks of fear-mongering. If you didn’t think it would have the effect of making people afraid that he is Muslim or has terrorist tendencies, you wouldn’t use it – plain and simple. Until you can provide another reason for using it (and don’t give me baloney about how you’re just calling him by his full name – you don’t do that for anyone else), that is EXACTLY what I think.

Kitzur dot net:

Perhaps you should stay home on election day. If you can’t be bothered to educate yourself, please don’t burden us with the possibility of decisions being made based on your ignorance.

Mariner:

Perhaps I misworded my statement – I think it’s wrong, not irresponsible.

Your point on foreign policy is valid political discourse, but I don’t want to write a lengthy screed at this point. All I’ll say is that his Israel voting record is impeccable. On top of it, I’m voting for what’s best for this country, not what’s best for Israel. To the extent that those two overlap, that’s great. Foreign policy is much larger than Israel. The current administration has done nothing but alienate us from most of the world. Not only that, but McCain doesn’t have all that much foreign policy experience under his belt either.

give me a break, oprah for one only had obama on her show. also, im sure if obama wanted to pay money to put a ad on this site, they would take it. the democrats, and obama specifically, have an abysmal record with things important to orthodox jews. taxes, schooling, security, israel, all things the left has gotten wrong since ww1. fdr was had ww2 forced down his throat. jfk was a lightwieght according to the russians, leading to the bay of pigs. carter, well he was pathetic all around, and clinton: 9-11!

re Mariner: Oprah didn’t have Hillary Clinton, either, so strongly is she pro-Obama. But she is under no obligation to give the candidates equal time. OTOH, if her viewers and advertisers don’t like it, they can let her know but she has enough money that I doubt it would really matter.

Give Me a Break,

Why don’t you call the Gedolim on the phone and demand they allow the papers to put women’s pictures in it? After all, YOU say its appropriate, so who are the Gedolim to say otherwise?

TO ILLINI07 THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MCARTYH(DONT EXCUSE MAH’ SPELIN’) HE WAS A REAL AMERICAN PARTRIOT UNLIKE YOUR OBAMINATION AND HIS AM.HATING WIFE AND PASTOR WRONG,ETC. AND NOTHING WAS DBUNKED THAT YOU KEEP ON HARPING THAT IT WAS DEBUNKED, MR LEFTIST. IT WAS THE LEFTIST COMMUNIST THAT STARTED THIS MCARTHYISM TO SCARE ANYBODY THAT POINTS OUT THE TRUTH..ME THINKS ANN COUTLER WROTE BOOK ABOUT THAT SUB. TO PROOVE THIS POINT.AND THIS IS PART OF THE LEFTIST COMMUNIST STEALTH WAR LIKE THIS ‘GIVE ME A BREAK’ CHARACHTER, PLEADING , YOU HEAR PLEADING THE AD SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF. THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIF,VULGAR,JUST REGULAR NICE LANGAUGE SAYING THE TRUTH AND IF ITS NOT TRUE THE COMMUNIST, I MEAN DEMOCRATIC, PARTY IS MUCH WORSE AND THEN ‘GIVE ME A BREAK’ HAS THE CHUTZPAH TO SAY WORRIED ABOUT THE (NON)CHILIL HASHEM.BY THE WAY TO HAVE A TELEVSION IS A CHULIL HASHEM..TO DO ANYTHING THAT IS ASSUR IS CHILIL HASHEM , ‘GIVE ME BREAK’.. ,AND IF THE REAL KIND OF CHILIL HASHEM DOESNT BOTHER YOU DONT FAKE CHILIL HASHEM HERE.

Jent:

1) Yes, there was plenty wrong with McCarthy. Do you know ANY history at all?

2) The rest of your post is nonsensical, and I don’t argue with people who wish to remain ignorant and don’t educate themselves. Nor will I continue to respond when you try to bait me with idiocy and ad-hominems.

Good day sir. Refuah Shelemah.

Dont go making a bruhaha here… Its science… and I bet you would say that Gore invented the internet and is the most qualified person to speak about Global warming…. but science really shows that the melting of the ice caps will cause a global cooling as the cold water will chill the Earth’s water and we might go into a mini-ice age that happens every several centuries (a mini ice age happened during the middle ages)Study your history!

Obama went once to Iraq, barely has gone to Israel (except when he can have his trail of camera crews… He has less experience then Palin does!!!!!!!!

Please educate yourselves before making any audacious comments. and I will not translate that for you… I learned those words in elementary school and you should know them… unless you really do have the mind of a seventh grader… which could explain a lot…infintile..

Just for the record, Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet; he claimed (correctly) to have worked on the legislation that funded the formation of the internet as we know it today.

As a side point, I can’t understand why Ann Coulter is so popular and widely-quoted by frum Jews, even in publications such as the Yated; there are so many conservative columnists who express themselves in a more refined way that there’s no need to resort to this Father Coughlin wanna-be.

anon,

I agree with you about that menuvel Coulter. There are far wiser, and better, conservatives to quote if necessary.

give ma brake..RE:your non-explanation explanation of how chilil hashenm pertains here makes as much sense as your request to take off this perfectly normal full of sense ad.

Can someone please explain to the general public how this is a chilul Hashem? If anything, it could be a kiddush Hashem for standing up for what can be the political choice to save Yidishkeit in America and around the world. Obama is pro-choice, pro-toeiva marriages, not deliberatly pro-israel like Palin is….but then he can change all of his opinions once he starts speaking to another crowd of people… He does do that a lot doesnt he? How do we know what he really stands for? How can we know what he will fo if (chas vashalom) he gets elected to office?

oh, and has anyone noticed how no one on the left is speaking about the results from Iraq? Maybe its because the troop surge ACTUALLY WORKED????? oops! I wasnt suppossed to say that, now was I?
