Dov Hikind Falls For Petty Attacks On Obama

When America goes to the polls, knowing where the candidates stand on important issues is generally a good way to base your decision. Perhaps it is their tone and ability to handle a crisis or the way they interact with other legislators, as getting bills to the floor and passed is pertinent to making change happen in our frequently gridlocked Congress.

In the primaries, some Jewish voters sided with Hillary because of baseless attacks on Barack Obama because his Reverend Wright has some controversial views and praises some nasty individuals like Louis Farrakhan. What that has to do with being President, I honestly don't know. Regardless, Obama won the nomination and now the choice is between him and McCain, a man with controversial religious connections himself. I really could care less about Hagee and Wright, because policies will be shaped by McCain or Obama, not their preachers.

Coming back to Jewish voters, the ratio of Dems to Repubs have generally been three to one and the fears brought out by other candidates about Obama's faith, ancestry and whatnot has generally fallen on deaf ears, with Jews voting heavily for the Democratic candidate anyways. You would think a political leader within the community would also see beyond the stupid attacks and vote based on the policy agenda that helps govern their own principles, but not for Assemblyman Dov Hikind.

Apparently he buys the anti-Israel bullshit being peddled the Christian Right and others in the GOP looking for any way possible to peel away Obama voters, particularly using wedge issues. Like Robert at TAP, Dov seriously needs to keep his warped ideas to himself and get pull his head out of the crap he gets in his email box or wherever he gets his rumors that are completely devoid of facts.
