The stink surrounding this junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, just gets worse and worse. Obama’s connections with Bill Ayers and his black racist mentor, the “reverand” Jeremiah Wright, his approval and support for known socialists in government as well as his own ultra-socialist leanings, makes him one of the more repugnant of candidates ever to run for the US presidency.
Pamela at Atlas Shrugs and Debbie Schlussel have been all over this charlatan, finding one damaging story after the other, yet the teflon shield provided by the media has been able to shield him from his most darkest of character failures being accurately reported on. The fix is in.
Now it has come to light that Obama is still allowing anti-Semites into his campaign organization, that meet with other Islamic anti-Semites to discuss how they can best support Obama fro president:
Schlussel: Remember Mazen Asbahi? Barack Hussein Obama’s first Muslim outreach director was fired for his connections to the Muslim Brotherhood (but is apparently still involved in the Obama campaign). Now, Asbahi’s replacement, Minha Husaini, will probably have to go, too. You see, she attended a meeting with Asbahi and a number of terror-supporting Muslim groups that the FBI and Department of Justice say are fronts for HAMAS and other Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups. Oh, and a number of the people at the meeting–like Mahdi Bray–have openly supported anti-Semitism and Islamic terrorist groups:
The Obama campaign said it was a mistake for an outreach coordinator to join a meeting last month attended by leaders of two controversial Muslim groups as it seeks votes from large Muslim populations in swing states.
Minha Husaini, newly named as head of the campaign’s outreach coordinator to Muslims, attended a discussion session Sept. 15 with about 30 Muslim leaders and community members in suburban Washington, the Obama campaign confirmed. Participants included leaders of the Council of American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, which have been cited by the government in the past for ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
In August, the campaign’s previous coordinator, Mazen Asbahi, resigned over a similar issue. . . .
Mr. Asbahi, who also attended the meeting now entangling Ms. Husaini, resigned after questions arose about his brief tenure on the board of an Islamic investment fund along with a controversial Illinois imam. At the time, campaign officials said he was stepping down because he didn’t want to become a distraction for the campaign.Thursday, campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, responding to questions about the September session in Springfield, Va., said Ms. Husaini wouldn’t have attended had she known that Council of American-Islamic Relations and Muslim American Society leaders were going to be there.
Schlussel: Mahdi Bray is openly anti-Semitic and, like Awad (who also goes by the name Nehad Hammad), is a vocal supporter of HAMAS and Hezbollah.
The thing is, the Bush Administration and Democrats and Republicans of all stripes have unfortunately feted these groups and individuals, lending them legitimacy when they never should have had any. Is this the beginning of the end?
Don’t hold your breath. It’s only the beginning of our end.
Yid With Lid and NBC have more.
**** IMPORTANT UPDATE: I’m reminded that I wrote about Mahdi Bray, who was at the meeting with Obama’s Muslim outreach chica, in the Detroit Free Press in 2002:
In October 1998, Mahdi Bray coordinated and led a Washington rally of 2,000 people, during which he played the tambourine as the crowd repeated, “Let’s all go into jihad, and throw stones at the face of the Jews.”
On Dec. 22, 2000, Bray organized and spoke at a rally outside the White House at which the emcee and crowd chanted responsively in Arabic: “O Jews, the Army of Muhammad is coming for you!” The Nazi swastika was openly displayed.
Yup, this is the kind of Muslim outreach Barack Hussein Obama is reaching out for.
Thanks for clearing that up Ihsanoglu, we all feel much better now. KGS
UPDATE: the sheik has this running:
