These Are The People We're About To Elect

Compare and contrast....

Look who Obamanoids look upon favorably, regard as friends, and whose favor they obsequiously curry:

Calling it a “major step forward” in relations between Iran and the United States, leading activists Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans of CODEPINK Women for Peace — along with more than one hundred fifty other U.S. peace group representatives — met Wednesday afternoon with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here following his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday....

The CODEPINK women proposed inviting American and Iranian artists to build a “peace park” in Tehran, a memorial dedicated to people-to-people commitment to peace and diplomacy between our two countries.

They also proposed a plan to invest funds in an Iranian business, one that produces green and sustainable products, such as bicycles. This grassroots investment would be the opposite of efforts by the Bush Administration and Congress to tighten sanctions, a move which CODEPINK thinks would only hurt ordinary, everyday Iranians. Such a symbolic CODEPINK investment in a green, sustainable business would challenge U.S. regulations blocking trade with Iran and would show how diplomacy and trade are preferable to war and sanctions.

This is, of course, the same Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who wants to finish the Holocaust job Adolph Hitler started, who calls Israel a "stinking corpse," who has openly proclaimed his intention to "wipe Israel off the map," and whose regime has vowed to bring the United States to its knees.  But to these Obama bundlers, he's scarcely any less of a rock star than their god himself.

Now look who Obamanoids hate and loathe, treat as an enemy, for whom their quasi-murderous hostility knows no bounds:

Representative Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Representative Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,” Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.

So, just to get everything straight, in the eyes of Obamanation Sarah Palin is the mass-murdering neoNazi, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the tree-hugging, guitar-strumming, kumbayah-singing peace-lover.

Just a little piece of information you might want to take with you into the voting booth in forty days.

UPDATE: Leave us not omit Obamanation's vast and unshakeable reverence for the First Amendment:

St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch are threatening to bring libel charges against those who speak out falsely against Barack Obama. KMOV aired a story last night, that stated that St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, both Obama supporters, are threatening to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President.

Since when do libel laws apply to politics? If George W. Bush had pursued the same avenue of attack, the entire Democrat Party would have been imprisoned before his first Inauguration. And, of course, he'd have never been elected in the first place, denounced by the Dems as...well, pretty much everything they've called him over the past eight years.

Even more to the point, how can this be legal if they're only targeting Obama critics?  Doesn't the policy HAVE to work both ways? 

Obamanation considers the First Amendment to be bathroom tissue, folks. They don't give a rat's ass about "truth" OR freedom of speech for all. Think they won't reimpose the Fairness Doctrine at the earliest opportunity?

 

UPDATE II: One of the few, courageous truth-tellers about The One responds appropriately:

“This is an outrageous and shocking attempt by the Obama campaign to again employ Stalinist, police state tactics against those who dare to disagree with Barack Obama,” said Ed Martin, American Issues Projects president.   “I am frankly stunned to see public officials like McCullough and Joyce abusing their official prosecutorial positions to serve as attack dogs for a national political campaign.  I am quite certain Missourians elected these individuals to enforce the laws and arrest criminals, not to throw people in jail for daring to practicing free speech.

"The Obama campaign continues to provide a chilling preview of what would happen to political freedom in an Obama administration.”

This new effort is only the most recent attempt by the Obama campaign to crack down on free speech.  Obama’s lawyers twice demanded the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute the American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors.  The campaign also threatened stations running American Issues Project’s ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot, and ran its own ad in response. 

Notably, this ad failed to dispute a single fact the American Issues Project has put forth.
