Email Newsletter Blog

I read this comment in an online newsletter response section. It is in regard to Senator Obama’s difficulty in attracting the Jewish vote in Florida. I don’t completely agree w/ the sentiment, and yet it is the first of it’s type that I would consider as a valid question of religious affilitation….what do you think?

“He has chosen to follow a pastor who embracess Louis Farrahkan. Its a CHOICE. He cannot distance himself from this because he CHOOSES to belong to this church.

I cannot think of one other ” Christian” Church in America that has showed such warm support for the Nation of Islam leader.

This is like attending David Dukes Christmas party and trying to distance yourself from his views.”
** Red: Not talking about Muslim in general. Talking about Obama’s church. There are many churches. Obama’s pastor is hugely vocal about some ideas that at are pretty nasty toward Jews in particular. People do judge you by the company you keep….and Yes, I would and have left my temple if it represented ideals and preached to things I found reprehensible.

I want to hear him speak & maybe meet him to see if he;s the real thing or not. I’ve signed up for his email newsletter but it doesnt say WHERE I can meet him…I know he’ll be in Concord on saturday or sunday but I cant figure out how to get tickets, or where it is

Thanks!
