Presentation is everything!
A sample T-shirt advertised in the shop's display window is decorated with assorted paraphernalia, including a yellow Star of David stamped with the word "JUDE," in the style of those forced on Jews in Nazi Germany; a black-and-white-checkered keffiyeh (a scarf known for its association with Yasser Arafat); a belt made of bullets, and a copy of the Holocaust memoir "Survival in Auschwitz" by Primo Levi.
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment on the shirt, but the presentation is spectacular.
Himself is here in Sunny SoFla this week, promising us Jews unbridled support. With every word he says, I am reminded of the words of Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip:
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with World Net Daily and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.
He saw Obama's comments about Hamas as political posturing that was understandable to lull supporters of Israel before the election.
"I understand American politics and this is the season for elections and everybody tries to sound like he's a friend of the Israelis," he said. All that would change if Obama would get elected. "I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse....
I don't know one Jew, on the left or on the right, who will admit to backing Obama, even my loony leftist Jewish friends are against him, and most of them won't back Herself either. Nope, for them, the best liberal for the job is McCain.
I might get myself to a place where I could bring myself to vote for McCain just to keep Barack Obama out of the White House, if I weren't so convinced that the disaster of a McCain presidency will ensure Barack the presidency in 2012 anyway. Four years of a liberal in moderate conservative clothing will get us eight years of Himself.
Oh yes, mark my words here today, that is exactly what will happen.
Bad things are coming our way.

Linda,
Some questions for you.
What about the idea that a liberal is a liberal first, *everything* else comes after? Liberalism comes before family, country, and religion. Come election day what are the chances they will get into the booth and vote for Obama?
My second question is unrelated to the first. What influence does South Florida's favorite NY city transplant, Queen of the South Florida Yentas and popular yet former Air America star have on the South Florida population?

DoubleU, I think you're right, liberalism does come before everything else.
But, I don't think they will vote for obama come election day, after all, there is another liberal with most, if not all, of the same liberal policies as obama and hillary. That would be McCain. As I said, they think he is best liberal for the job.
On your second question, I am so embarassed, but I'm not sure who you're asking me about.

You did mention McCain was the best liberal for the job before but it slipped my mind.
I did forget to mention popular talk radio host Randi Rhode's name during the second question. (My mind started to wonder) I have been to a few dinners at my Jewish friends houses, and they have relatives that are left of left and repeat everything Randi says. Randi I believe is a strong supporter of Obama and wondered how her influence was upon other people who listen to her. Perhaps you know some of her fans.
