Obama: Avatar of the New Anti-Semitism

As Nellie Bowles, who is no longer taken in by the man, accurately parsed it: “It takes two to tango. Hamas killed infants point-blank; I never replace the toilet paper roll.”

"Tell me again about "Hymietown", Al"

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  . . ."Barack Obama has always loved to dissemble. He treats the ideals and mores of America, the ones that motivated generations to give their last measure of devotion, as mere memes, to be played with and discarded once they have served their purpose. Famously, he described himself as a screen onto which others project their own wishes and expectations. He allows that, not ever committing himself, always ready to say, when pinned down, that others have parsed him incorrectly, and it’s their bad. He draws a line in the sand and then blows wind over it until it disappears.

"So was his foreign policy. 

"He seemed to stand tough in Syria but, in the end, blew wind over his line in the sand and asked Russia to take over. Poison gas, shmoison gas. You were a fool to parse my words incorrectly. And Putin, shmutin — he’ll cut him some slack if he doesn’t make trouble before 2012 elections, and he’ll set up Romney with the complicit media for looking like a fool about distrusting Russia. And then the bill came due, and Obama said nothing about Putin’s invasion of Crimea and the Donbas, regularizing treaty-breaking and territorial war in Europe. Of little lasting consequence as long as Obama got to keep power.

"My moment where I saw the Jagger’s devil underneath the cool and brilliant veneer was when the 2008 primary campaign made public Obama’s 20-year discipleship under Jeremiah Wright, the rabidly anti-Israel pastor, champion, and friend of the rabidly Jew-hating Louis Farrakhan. Wright, whose reaction to 9/11 was to command God to damn America and to say the murder of thousands of civilians was just “America’s chickens coming home to roost.

"Association with that kind of thought back then was deadly. Obama announced he would
have something important to say about it, and I and many Americans were hopeful that this intelligent and well-spoken man might show depth of character and humility and, thereby, achieve redemption. As a person of faith, to whom the struggle for redemption through humbly returning to God is the great theme of human history, I hoped that this might be a tremendous turning point in our society, a moment for moral grandeur.

"We all know what happened. Instead of expressing any humility or regret for his association with such hatred, he chose the path of toxic narcissism, and like an accomplished psychopath, projected his own sin onto others in a truly mind-boggling fashion.

"And naïve America, always ready to seek redemption, all too aware of its proclivities to sin, swallowed it.

"He was and remains no less the anti-Semite than his preacher. " . . .
