So now they can get the Catholics to focus on the real issue: How much Rev. Wright is a threat..

This country is one giant television commercial that never ends.

Americans are constantly distracted by the irrelevant in order to forget the relevance of their vote.

Are we distracted or are we force fed distractions by those who don't want us to think about serious matters?

Obama vs. The Israel Lobby

Religion â;; Poor Obama. No matter how much he grovels to the Israel lobby, they won't take yes for an answer. The Lobby has been after him for months, trying to dig up "evidence" that he is necessarily an enemy of Israel. The best they could come up with so far were the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's jeremiads, which didn't have much of an effect.

Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel

Do No Evil â;; Right-wing zionists attack Obama on the premise that failure to love Israel with enough passion or to be sufficiently devoted to its interests ought to disqualify -- presumably since, the Founders intended the first obligation of the US President to be to preserve Israel's security, just as George Washington said in his farewell address:

Keep in mind that Hagee is a "christian-zionist" and leader of their most prominent organization - Christians United for Israel. Palestinian christians have been complaining about Hagee for many years. Do you suppose that those christians will also get an apology from Hagee?

Challenging Christian Zionism

The Challenge Of Christian Zionism

The movement of Christian Zionism provides a challenge and an embarrassment to Palestinian Christians at a number of crucial levels, requiring us to address this issue theologically, politically, and existentially. It raises for us a number of issues that must be addressed.

First and foremost are the theological issues: What kind

of God does Christianity teach and what kind of God do we believe in? Is God a tribal, territorially-based God, partial to the tribe of the Hebrews and interested in granting them a particular piece of land in Palestine to be their eternal birthright regardless of the rights of its indigenous inhabitants?? Is God the Lord of Hosts, glorying in the military exploits of his people, andwrathful and vengeful towards their enemies, assuring them of military victory (regardless of their own spiritual state of godliness or lack thereof )? Or is God the sacrificial God who loves the whole world, and who, as revealed to us in Christ, transcends racial and national boundaries, and opens his arms and offers his salvation to Jew and gentile alike, inviting into his universal kingdom

all those who believe in him, granting them the power to be children of God, and inheritors of the promises??....

thank you so much for posting this information. But, be careful, the anti-defamation league considers any criticism of Isreal a work of anti-sem....

And guess who owns AOL, and hence Netscape.....

One ethnic group owns all american media, and has complete control over investigative journalism, the "4th leg" of american democracy. Good for them. No more antisem.. propaganda. But, ask yourself, who benifits from a protracted war in Iraq? Who is fighting Israel's enemies? Who is dying in Iraq and for what purpose. Who is running the propaganda campaign brainwashing the left and right in america? Who profits from the tabloid gossip? Who profits from the war bewteen cons and libs? Who pays O'Reily? Who owns Drug Lamebaugh? Who provides the airtime and profits?

Yes, it is clear that we are subjected to major censorship in america when it comes to zionist crimes against humanity. Our "corporate media" do not tell us that the majority of jews OPPOSE the zioncons in the american government and the zionist ethnic cleansers in israel.

Zionism versus Judaism

Religion â;; Zionists have managed to unforgivably drag judaism's name through the mud for more than 60 years. Zionism might be a racist, supremacist ideology - but Judaism is most definitely not. The more Jews who make this distinction, the better: both for security of their fellow Jews, as well as to end zionist crimes against Palestinians.

A software program called Megaphone is used to ferret out anti-israeli comment on the Web so that the relentless zionists can come out of the corners and counter any criticism.

Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel

Devotion to Israel is like devotion to evil. Jewish people reject the Right Wing Israelis and they want to live in peace with Muslims and Christians. America will be better of without Israeli, Israel is a liability and not a trustworty friend, of course they will be a good friend as long as America is with them, the moment America refuse to help them then they will start digging the grave for America.

When did they release Daylight from Guantanamo?

That's right, under Bush/Cheney anyone who speaks out can be treated like your good old days under McCarthy!

You may not like what they say, but they have a right to say it.

The geniuses at Guantanamo did just release a guy who blew himself up in a Baghdad marketplace last week..

I thought we knew who the enemy was?

Guantanamo is a SAD American joke, it deserves no humor.

Sippin' stale coffee, Cake? Yeah, that guy who blew himself up. Shoulda kept him longer, but libs would have hated that, too.

Libs like you make Guantanamo a joke when a known terrorist gets released. He was a very nice boy. He used to cut my grass. Then he got into the Taliban ...

If you would only remove yourself from the divisive name callers who started shouting "LIBERAL" at anyone who confused them you'd understand that I support the death penalty, securing our borders, balancing our budget, and oppose affirmative action, so all you have just proven is either you're never too old to learn, or you can't teach old dogs new tricks!

I hope it is the former, and you're LEARNED that shouting liberal at everyone is old, desperate, and divisive.

You missed the entire point here (either confusion or purposeful distraction).

My point is that YOUR government let him go..NOT LIBERALS or anyone else. Our government is supposed to protect freedom of speech. Did you lose that meaning somewhere when reviewing my brief comment?

(I happen to support extreme interrogation tactics too, but obviously these buffoons can't even use that weapon properly)

This is a WAR. Terrorism involves innocent civilian lives.

*If I were you I'd ixnay your admission of hiring illegals!

R U on drugs?

Your commentary is deterioratin.

Maybe you are upset because John Hagee apoligized about his hatred for Catholics?

Frankly engineer it is you who needs the psychiatric help. The term "good germans" willing to support nazi crimes against humanity now has to be supplemented with the term "good jews" willing to support zionist crimes against humanity. Fortunately more and more jews world-wide recognize the zionist crimes against humanity and reject them.

Zionism is Dead, What Now?

Religion â;; The irony of history is while Zionists managed to create a nation state in the Middle East Ã;¢â;¬" the majority of Jews simply don't want to be part of a Jewish nation in the Mid-East. Three quarters of a million Israeli Jews have moved abroad. Jews, not Jihadists, have consigned Zionism to the dustbin of history.

Bottom line: We're distracted.

Whether it is a combination of their ability to use it to their advantage, or their knowledge that we are consumed by their best use of distraction, it is the method used by

all whose interests are accomplished by its use.

If Catholics looked at the theological stance of either Wright or Hagee they wouldn't vote for anyone who follows either of them.

Your comment infers that Catholics are alone on Hagee but everyone should vote against Obama because Wright (theologically) offends

all white people, and THAT is simplistic and untrue.
