NEWBERG, Ore. (AP) — Officials of a small Christian university say a life-size cardboard reproduction of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was hung from a tree on the campus, an act with racial undertones that outraged students and school leaders alike.
George Fox University President Robin Baker says a custodian discovered the effigy early Tuesday and removed it. University spokesman Rob Felton said Wednesday that the commercially produced reproduction had been suspended from the branch of a tree with fishing line around the neck.
Taped to the cardboard cutout of the black senator from Illinois was a message targeting participants in Act Six, a scholarship program geared toward increasing the number of minority and low-income students at several Christian colleges, mostly in the Northwest.

It's interesting how the Israelis view Obama. He receives much support
both from Jewish liberals and arguably the right-wing AIPAC, but his
middle name bothers Israelis a lot. Also, there are doubts whether he is
really a Muslim apostate. Here is an article which analyzes Obama's
similarity to early Zionists:

That link screams Reich Wing propaganda to me. Clinton has been targeted by the Reich Wingers who control the Justice Department since 1992 or so. They've been salivating for a chance to take her down, hence why Faux news became so friendly to her as Obama's numbers overtook her. They wanted to face her because they deemed her easier to defeat.
Obama scares them, hence the racist codewords they are using now regarding him. Your link screams the same.
Welcome Tranquill. No offense, I call your link bullshit; but welcome you to our board.  |

That website looked a little suspect. "A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East"- seems a little fascist. Besides, if they were truly Machiavellian, then they wouldn't give a rat's ass about Israel. |
