Typo Alert: Obama Team Misspells ‘Israel’ on Campaign Invite

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is slated to appear on behalf of the Obama campaign Monday at a Philadelphia-area synagogue.
A glaring issue with the invitation? That would the synagogue’s name, “Congregation Keneseth Isreal“:

Sure, the Romney campaign had a similar cringe-inducing typo of their own, misspelling “America” as “Amercia” in their iPhone app back in May, but it must especially sting for a president who’s reportedly claimed to know “about Judaism more than any other president.”
As the Washington Free Beacon detailed, the “Israel-Isreal” gaffe is hardly the only questionable aspect of the event: It seems to directly conflict with an Internal Revenue Service rule prohibiting nonprofit organizations, including religious institutions, from “directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.”

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 4:07pmWait, the bigger story is the fact that Jews would even consider going to an Obama function.
Lord, I see now why you march them around the mountain for 40 years. You tried to get the Stubbornness out of them and you tried to make them see.
I hope every Jew stands and applauds when Obama repeats that Israel should go back to 1967 Borders. All Jews in Israel would be a sitting duck to EVERY NATION of the World that right now is gearing up to Distroy Israel – Thanks to the Muslim and Chief who supported the over through of any dictator that keep piece with Israel.
Glenn did not predict this stuff – God said it years ago in the Bible.

I pray the Lord remove the scales from their eyes to see what king of evil Obama and his crew really are. Obama is not a friend to Israel but its enemy.

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 10:16pm@CHRISTHEFANATIC:
1. “In fact, many Jews are communists, a result of ww2,” you said.
Wrong.
Jews started gravitating to Communism since Moses Hess (1812 – 1875), a Jewish philosopher and socialist, one of the founders of Labor Zionism, a friend and collaborator of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. He converted Engels to Communism. He played a key role in transforming Hegelian dialectical idealism to the dialectical materialism of Marxism. He originated several “Marxian” slogans, including religion as the “opiate of the people.”
The top leadership of the Bolshevik revolution was overwhelmingly Jewish.
2. “But I would not call them “pig-headed,” you said.
Definition of pig-headed:
“adjective stupidly obstinate…
If you describe someone as pig-headed, you are critical of them because they refuse to change their mind about things, and you think they are unreasonable.”
It’s exactly what I meant: no one NORMAL person who lived under Commies (like myself) would ever praise and support Commies, only pig-headed ones.
Those who did not live under Commies, but support them, are misguided uneducated idiots (even if they are “professors” of Universities and other “intellectual elite”.)
I am a Jew and I’ve created this message. -:)

Posted on July 15, 2012 at 4:47amSo Romney misspells America (Amercia), and to my knowledge Obama has never made that claim about him “knowing Israel.” What you’ll find, is that despite Fox’s best efforts to tell you all otherwise, it’s actually representatives of Israel that have talked in glowing terms about the Obama administrations relationship with them.
I agree with Hitchens’ statement that Israel is the biggest mental asylum on earth.

In today’s onging misrepresentation, he assigns Judaism to the president’s chief spokesperson, David Plouffe. Plouffe’s a born, bred and proud Catholic, who successfully attended all Catholic schools, when he was growing up.
Report Post »Then, in a later post, he assigns the religion of Judaism to Karl Marx. As the self-described “Jerk” knows full well, Marx’s family had converted, and became proud Lutherans, prior to his fellow jerk’s (Karl’s) birth.

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 1:44pmJews are in search of the international kibbutz, commune, communism. This is why communism grew out of the Jewish culture, see Moses Hess and Karl Marx, both Jews. This is why you find nearly all Jews in the socialistic/communistic Democratic party. This is why you find many Jews leading the charge of progressivism in every culture, everywhere. They are sincere, and are sincerely wrong. They really think that they know best how you should live your life. It’s Talmudic… which is why these movements are also anti-Christian.

Your point about the Jewish vote is something that I don’t understand either. However, on one small point, I beg to differ. It’s not that they are stuck on Obama, they are stuck on Democrat. The Jewish voting cohort has tilted very strongly Democrat for several decades.
It’s a mystery to me given that as a group they are generally solidly middle class with a sizable proportion of them in the higher ranges of economic achievement. But, I suppose my lack of understanding just goes to show how dumb I am! Peace.
