Ok, now that we've gotten an explanation of reject and denounce out of the way I thought I'd point out that contrary to the title of this blog post, Barack Hussein Obama does not hate Jews.

I know some of you might have been confused considering the recent debate on MSNBC that seemed to insinuate that Obama thinks Jews are the scum of the Earth. Apparently this is how Louis Farrakhan and the pastor of Obama's church feel. I don't know for sure if that's how they feel, but apparently Tim Russert does and he's adamant that this somehow relates to Obama.

I'm not sure how beliefs that Obama has rejected (or denounced) relate to him, but I can do nothing but trust the always correct judgment of Tim Russert. I'm also confused about how Obama is supposed to force Farrakhan or his pastor to only say things he would like them to say, but apparently Mr. Russert knows how this would work.

What I am sure about is that Obama does not hate Jews.

But, apparently Hillary Clinton isn't so sure. I mean, how else do you explain her decision to jump in and give a personal testimonial on her own love for Jews and Israel? Not only did Clinton out point how many Jewish friends she has, but she then challenged Obama to name his own Jewish friends.

Well, she didn't really do that, but her attempt to force Obama to explain just how much he loves Jews and hates Farrakhan seemed to do the same thing. Her ludicrous attempts to parse the meanings of denounce and reject only underscored the idea that she thinks Obama hates Jews.

Look, Minister Farrakhan has said some really bad things about Jewish people, things I don't agree with. And apparently Obama's own pastor has his own issues with Jews as well.

But, the sly attempt to make Obama out to be a neo-Nazi was over the top. Both my wife and I were puzzled when Hillary broke into her soliloquy about the amazing political bravery she showed when she denounced anti-Semitic comments during her Senate campaign. However, it quickly made sense when she took yet another swipe at Obama's character.

Seriously, the amount of race baiting and ridiculousness from Clinton's campaign has been out of control since jump, but when you start trying to paint folks as Jew-haters you've crossed a line. There is no more powerful accusation in America. Not even being called a racist is as bad as being labeled an Anti-Semitic.

Shit, when Mel Gibson went on his rant against Jews he not only had to go on a public apology tour, but he had to check himself into rehab. The LA Times previously reported that his entire Hollywood career might be in jeopardy because of what he said. Contrast that treatment with what happened to Don Imus, and well, my point has been made.

Clinton's comments were especially disgusting considering Obama had just given an extremely eloquent statement about healing the wounds between black people and Jews.

Look, this is politics, I understand it gets nasty. But, I've felt like this entire campaign Hillary and her folks have been stepping across the line of proper discourse. As Charlie Murphy would say, "She's a habitual line-stepper."

It's getting old.
