Shit Tex we don't want them just their money. I noted in another post Ray wanted to relocate Israel. Arizona would be a perfect candidate. Hot, dry and a supportive Senator. Added value would cut down on illegals entering US.

A Pulitzer Prize winner maybe?

No doubt about it, and the peace Nobel prize for saving Western civilisation from communism?

"I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. ..." -- Barack Obama

Heh right back.

I'm not running for President of the United States...

^ Ahem.

Barack Obama, at a Memorial Day event in Las Cruces, N.M., credited his great-uncle, Charlie Payne, as being among the U.S. troops who liberated the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz.

The trouble with that bit of history is -- as the Republican National Committee pointed out today -- is that the Soviet Red Army was the military force that liberated the World War II death camp.

The RNC seized the opportunity to fire off a news release, saying that “unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there’s no way Obama’s statement yesterday can be true. Obama’s frequent exaggerations and outright distortions raise questions about his judgment and his readiness to lead as commander in chief.”

The Obama campaign soon acknowledged that the Democratic candidate made a mistake. It explained that Obama’s great-uncle was in the 89th Infantry Division that helped liberate another notorious death camp, Buchenwald. Obama, the campaign said, “is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II -- especially the fact that his great-uncle was part of liberating of one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald.”

All of which raises the question: What's worse, Obama's apparent gaffe or the RNC pouncing on a Holocaust-related historical mistake for political advantage?

I don't think you'll get much mileage out of that one booner.

BO's “Auschwitz” story is nothing new.

He was telling similar stories about his grandfather back in 2002, in his now-famous Iraq speech, which I’d never previously read:

My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka.

The first troops to enter those two camps (in Poland) were Soviet troops, so unless Patton was leading them, this can’t be true.

That doesn't matter to BO tho. It's a pattern here folks.
Congenital lier?

Shouldn't we expect a Presidential candidate to like, know stuff?

"Granted, it is getting late in the campaign. The candidates are tired, and prone to making silly mistakes. Many Americans might have problems distinguishing Buchenwald and Ohrdruf from Auschwitz. But should we not expect more from a Harvard-educated presidential candidate? Is it too much to ask that an aspiring commander-in-chief knows (1) that Auschwitz (like many of the other Nazi death camps) is in Poland, and (2) that the eastern advance of the U.S. Army in World War II stopped on the river Elbe?"

^^ Was that his white great uncle who fought in WWII? Or was it his dad's uncle come up from Kenya?

Shaka Zulu was his nik. Hell of a fighter.

^ I saw that movie.

I thought McCain was the candidate with the religious baggage?

^^ Yeh, thank goodness he's White.

absurd statements by intolerant religious leaders are this election cycle's side show.

in 1992 it was marijuana use
in 1988 it was whether or not a candidate had ever cheated on his/her spouse.

in 2012, this sort of nonsense won't even be on the radar....it will be something else equally moronic.

and btw, the only reason it is now considered newsworthy, is because the lunatic right is using it to stir up the base....because that's the only way they're going to come out in november. they're never going to vote FOR mccain...but they might vote against obama.

It is the nature of the world. Anything uttered or implied by anyone and the media/bloggers will make it today's big news. Even Sharon Stone is now busted because she said the Chinese earthquake was a result (Karma) of China's bad treatment of the Dali Lama. But where would the Issues Forum be without our daily portion of these wonderfully important and insightful tidbits of media?

^ Aww, but that's true, innit? About the Dalai Lama like Sharon said?
I like how BO is slamming McCain for raising $3.5 mil at a PRIVATE fundraiser with George Dublya. 5555 Oh, jealousy marches in. Didn't BO do private fundraisers? How bout that one in San Francisco where he made the bitter booboo?
