Obama Heckled at Western Wall
Don't expect this to make the nightly news:
The US presidential nominee was heckled as he visited the Western Wall in the early hours of Thursday morning, bowing his head in prayer and observing traditional custom by placing a folded piece of paper into the crevice of the wall.
Orthodox men interrupted their morning prayers to catch a glimpse of the Illinois senator, reaching out to shake his hand as he passed them by. But not all were taken by the Democrat. One yelled out: "Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!" before Mr Obama was whisked away to his waiting plane.
Hamas, which openly calls for the destruction of Israel, endorses Obama, as he is widely understood to favor Muslim terrorists against their enemies, prominently including Israel. Yet most American Jews (though not all) are expected to vote for Obama, apparently out of sheer self-hatred.

He looks just as silly as when he wears a cowboy hat. Talk about a puker.
"Phony" doesn't come close to describing the depth of that asshole's overt "shamliness."
And silly liberals eat that sh*t up.

Oh my God! One person heckled him, and most likely a hardline ultra-righ wing Orthodox Jew nonetheless!!! Oh my God!!!! Never mind the hundreds of thousands of normal people who cheered him everywhere else. You people are really, really, REALLY digging for any teeny tiny little morsel of negative you can find on this guy. Don't look now, but John McCain and his wife were involved in the infamous Savings and Loan scandal of the 90's that cost taxpayers billions and resulted in people going to jail. George W. Bush's brother was involved as well. Hmmm, I can't find that story anywhere on your site.

Well, you can find it now. But it is old news, like Monica Lewinsky.

Michael Savage's words exactly.

BARACK OBAMA LVII: RACIST, MUSLIM RADICAL, DRUNK, WOMANIZER, SOCIALIST
Published July 27th, 2008
To suggest that a man must follow in the path of his father is patently ludicrous.
Likewise, to suggest that if a man’s father is a forceful personality yet the son absorbed none of the father’s philosophical and moral beliefs is equally ludicrous. Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s dad was a racist, Muslim, as well as a drunk, a womanizer, a socialist, and bigamist who abandoned his wife and son when the latter was two years old, and died a failure in life, despite his alleged “brilliance.”
This is no pun on Jesse Jackson’s overheard open mic comment, but do nuts fall far from the tree?
I freely admit that I have not read the senator’s memoir, Dreams from My Father, a Story of Race and Inheritance, nor do I plan to. However, I have read reviews of said book, both formal and informal, and I have closely followed the junior senator from Illinois’ recent career and campaign for the presidency. To conclude his late father did not greatly influence him does not require a great leap of imagination.
Many of the informal reviews, such as those on Amazon.com, are gushingly effusive, bordering on idolatrous, writings praising the writer and his work as “extraordinary…amazing…eloquent…inspirational…articulate,” no small praise for an unknown 34 year old from Chicago, praise which raises the specter of sycophancy. (His book was originally published in 1995 and updated in 2004, just in time for the launch of his national political career after serving as a lackluster state senator in Illinois and after being trounced 2-1 in a primary bid for Congress in 2000.)
Other reviews label Dreams as “nauseating…fluff…tedious…racist…shameless,” but someone interested in a few quick opinions won’t ever see those since the first few dozen of 265 Amazon reviews are almost entirely of the first, very favorable, type. (Could Amazon be biased?)
This is not a book review but an opinion on the candidate’s namesake and his influence on his son. The candidate testifies to that influence in the very title of his book, Dreams from My Father.
Are we expected to believe those dreams did not include a strong Muslim influence since...
