no wonder

I guess that will be used against him.  All you have to do is mention it.  Also that he's doing well in France.

I think this is what Bob Kerrey was actually trying to get at before he made a complete fool of himself.  But it's the idea that the U.S. would no longer look like such an enemy if he were to be the face of our country and the face of the modern world.

They are "rooting" not "routing"-

this is not a substantive diary.

Thanks for wasting our time.

Lovely. Another thing for the GOP to use against Obama in a general election.

Arabs rooting for Obama to win certainly will make a great 527 ad. For the GOP that is.

Ugh. I know. And people think that he can win an election in the US?

If a 527 did a few ads on Obama his whole campaign would collapse in a NY minute.

You guys are funny. Your racial rantings and xenophobic comments only make your own candidate look bad. Keep it up, it worked great in South Carolina!

I've said from the beginning that if Obama is the nominee, the Repubs will constantly bring up his connections with Islam.  He has several Muslim relatives inlcuding his father, stepfather, and cousins.  He lived in Indonesia, the country with the largest Mulsim population in the world.  There have already been rumors about him attending a madrassa there.  Add to that his immense popularity in the Arab world, and people still say he is more electable than Hillary?

Does Hillary Clinton support this type of attack?

My comment was in reference to the NPR report I heard. This is not an opinion comment...( and sorry for the typo... I am computer challenged).THIS IS NPR'S report, not mine. They also reported that following super Tuesday, the Israeli media was split on Obama. Israeli media felt strongly about Clinton because Hillary is known to them. Obama is not known to them. Some of the Israeli media were concerned about Obama's willingness to personally meet with Iran. Israel would prefer diplomacy first, hence Hillary was more favored. However, there is a split in Israel, where there is no split in the Arab media. This is according to NPR, not me.

Hillary's broke, now she's turning to racial scare tactics. Looks like she really will do anything to win!

First of all, do you have a link?  Second, why do we care what his cousin's (? not sure that's actually been confirmed)religious views are?  Also, he has not "campaigned" for anyone.  He's urged peace in Kenya, while working through the State Department.  

You haven't been listening to what Obama has said then.

And your post is why Obama will lose a general election. Everytime someone criticizes him you guys scream racism! Or Obama's campaign surrogates scream Racism! It's a sure fire way to lose.

I think the NPR report is interesting and a good source of conversation.Not everything is a political tactic and about the campaign. NPR is saying this election is of interest to the world, including the Arab countries. This is news; the world is global, and the world is interested in the American election. This information can be used as a positive or a negative. Nonetheless, it is information; it is fact; an it is not about spin- we can leave the spin to Chris Matthews & Co.

Proud of yourself?  Must be great to get up in the morning and look at your mug in the mirror and tell yourself, "today I am going to act like Karl Rove."

Every time you do this garbage you make it easier for the Repubs to smear our candidates by creating an atmosphere that says "everybody does it."

If you want to do this crap go join the Republicans. If you want change, stop acting like a Republican.

Anybody who engages in this kind of irresponsible behavior automatically forfeits all credibility in my eyes.  I encourage the rest of you to join me in discouraging this behavior.

Maybe not a racist, definitely a Rovian smear artist.

I guess the diarist needs to spell it out and call Obama a jihadist.

Wow, what a disgustingly xenophobic diary.

Sadly, that has become typical for the MyDLC crowd lately.

[a href='MyDLC] Hey did you hear that Obama's cousin is a scary Muslim? And that his church's leaders sisters cousin once said some nice things about Farakhan? Did you know he went to a Madrassa?? You know, the scary Muslim schools where they teach everyone to become smart, pretend to be a Christian, and covertly destroy the United States from within? [/a]

Undies, you a frakking pathetic.

I expect this type of nonsense from the hateful, bigotted right. But somewhere along the line Hillary's supporter's have decided that it's it hip to be Rovian.

I used to have a lot of respect for this site. It was my third political blog bookmark right after DeanForAmerica.com and DailyKos.com.

Now I visit here with the same apprehension that I experience when checking in on sites like Free Republic to see what the xenophobes are thinking today.

Undies, and anyone else that plays this pathetic game should take a good look at themselves in the mirror.

And don't be surprised when you see Karl Rove smiling back at you.

Boloney is boloney, no matter how thin you slice it.

Divestment of Israel is an international effort associated with Israel's racist policies and its military occupation/colonization of Palestinian lands and people.

This was the mechanism that led to the downfall of Apartheid South Africa and it may help Israel to see the light. Even Olmert stated that Israel is moving toward an Apartheid solution in its tak over of Palestinian lands.

This is nothing new. The Jerusalem Post is not a liberal newspaper. Try reading Haar'etz.

You will never get factual information from the Jerusalem Post. It is a right wing newspaper slanted toward the Israeli right wing, Likud, in particular.

Don't believe the significance of everything you read. Get educated and read Ha'aretz.

How deep does this bullshit stand. George Soros is a decent humanist and philanthopist interested in a fair and just resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It abhors him to watch 4-800 innocent Palestinians, including children, killed every year in order for Israel to maintain its military occupation, while it continues to confiscate more and more of Palestinian land.

Appeasing jihadists, my foot. This piece is little more than more propaganda to cover up Israel's colonialism and harsh treatment of the Palestinian people.

What decent person in the world would not speak out at this human rights injustice? Hillary Clinton, that's who. Has never spoken a word about the plight of the Palestinians, even their starvation today inside of Gaza.

I think this is the second time I've typed this in a comment at mydd in a week or so.

Boy, have the standards for discourse slipped here.  They're laughing at us over on daily kos noting that it looks like an outpost of freepers on this diary.
