Flashback:
The Obama Temptation
[October 25, 2008 9:29 PM]
By Mark R. Levin



It is desirable, again, to initiate this overnight-summary with information thematic of the modern-day
fight against multiple manifestations of anti-Semitism [loco-regional, statewide, national, global].

Following-up what I wrote yesterday in the Comments-section of the Jewish Exponent,
an unheralded-hero of the effort to enact MANDATED Holocaust Education was and
continues to be Rhonda Fink-Whitman; this information could not be shrouded from a
public that should be wondering what had been occurring within the Jewish community
to have prompted Federation to oppose our efforts, particularly after a prior piece had
served as a naked-attempt to diss her [by suggesting she had become self-marginalized].

This woman combined boundless-energy and BEING CORRECT to push a clear agenda,
and I view this incident as part of a continuum of pressures that must be directed @ a
Federation that has been silent after a Temple-Prof has inter alia revealed himself to be
a Holocaust-Minimizer [in the words of Mort Klein, ZOA-Prez]; this is a festering problem
about which Lisa has yet to editorialize. As another example of the failings of both the
Federation and its public-organ, ponder what happened just after I provided Eric Berger,
the Jewish Exponent reporter who had written the deficient-pieces regarding this bill
[with the version he had composed thrice, finally published this past week] rather
intensely-negative, direct, face-to-face, unambiguous, forceful, referenced-feedback
[choose your adjectival phrase]. I spoke to him @ Caroline Glicks speech that was
delivered WITHIN THE FEDERATION BUILDING which he attended, 11 days ago, but
NOTHING was published thereafter for readers [in addition to the 150 in attendance].

Autocratic egotists @ Federation must receive their come-uppance, for
more battles-to-come loom; they need to be reminded demonstrably
that maintaining a forthright position against myriad evil-tentacles of
anti-Semitism requires [at least] 24-7 vigilanceand super-prompt
exposure of IDed problems, lest they be permitted to fester.

Perhaps a disinterested reader might view my spate of Comments to constitute overkill;
on the other hand, arguments are referenced and the narrative is cohesive, so the
overall impact among those who might wish to take-a-gander promises to be powerful.
And, if such info is to be forgotten, this one article [with the history it spawned] is
subject to being subsequently cited as a definitive statement regarding the antics we
were forced to encounter; metaphorically, efforts to update the GOP-Establishment
by the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement may be seen as comparableand
the outcome measures of the latter are increasingly supportive of such initiatives.

These comments were written in a fashion that integrates the ability [when dealing with
Federation] of Chuck and Rhonda to maintain plausible-deniability whenever queried
regarding what Ive uploadedand Im forever braced for such an outcome; chroniclers
[Herodotus, Josephus] recorded contemporaneous info that spinners must confront
and, thus, presaged is a heads-up deluge on employers of people such as Hank Butler
[based upon an amalgamation of evidence, rather than pure-conjecture]. I am not wont
merely to declare victory and to move-on when faced with an untreated underlying
diagnosis, lest a relapse transpirearising in myriad guises, sooner rather than later.

Nationally, illustrating the importance of what is necessary to address regarding Temple U., note that, at
SFSU, partisans of Israel-Bashing Professor Rabab Abdulhami [advocating the the boycott, divestment,
and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel] Struck Back [financed by California taxpayers]; indeed,
those who wanted to keep-an-open-mind-about-murder instead of recognizing that the klinghoffer
opera served solely as a manifestation of anti-Semitism were not satisfied when the Met announced it
wouldnt be broadcast worldwide; justifiably, they argue the entire project should be scrapped. One
wonders why those who are so enmeshed in whether the 'Redskin' battle would have the capacity to
recognize publicly the Jews' Endless History of Persecution, during which Europeans have, during the
past thousand years, barelyif at allrepressed anti-Semitism that now drives their anti-Israelism.

In this regard, they probably ignore internationally whats happening in England [Muslim
Group Runs Islam Detoxification Ads on Buses, while a British jihadist tweeted BEHEAD
CAMERON in Call for Assassination of UK Prime Minister], France [Sharia in France
(Muslims attack man for eating ham sandwich) is prompting Jews to Leave France in
Droves and to Head to Israel], and the Ukraine [Jews are planning to flee civil unrest and
political turmoil in Donetsk, a besieged city in Ukraine, while the US Sanctioned Leaders
of Pro-Russian Forces in East Ukraine (BHO delivered more sanctions if the violence did
not stop, but did not touch Putin or any of his cronies, instead focusing only on the
leaders of the pro-Russian forces, who have no real assets or connections to the West)].

These concern carry implications, for one must ask if Palestinians could Humanize Living Jews when they
wont sympathize with the 6 million Murdered; as the Knockout Game Reached Jerusalem, Savages Sock
Jewish Studentsbut does anyone care? For example, Apprehension of the Jihadist Suspect in Benghazi
Massacre has been invoked for political purposes, and there seem to have been Lots of Recent Man-
Caused Disasters, suggesting BHOs outreach to the Islamic world doesnt seem to be working; thus,
such failures have been perceived absent their underlying anti-Semitic components.

Sen. Ted Cruz feels the 'Threats Were Facing in this Country Are Unprecedented' and
Breitbart's Shapiro views the Obama Administration as a 'Mafia-esque Organization'.
Meanwhile, BHOs Scandal-Sheet proliferates [Bergdahl: Three Unanswered Questions
as Bergdahl was released from inpatient care at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas]
and, in particular, this week, the legitimate question raised [What is the IRS hiding?] has
been met with common-sense solutions [LOST EMAILS? THE IRS HAS A CONTRACT WITH
AN EMAIL BACKUP COMPANY; Oopsie: IRS Required By Law To Keep Hard Copies Of All
Agency Emails In Event Of Problem; and The IRS cancelled its longtime relationship with
an email-storage contractor just weeks after ex-IRS official Lois Lerners computer
crashed and shortly before other IRS officials computers allegedly crashed] and the
usual-defense from both Dems ['Not A Smidgen of Corruption' in IRS Scandal - And If
You Think Otherwise You're A Conspiracy Nut] and a docile media [Politico: No Scandal
Behind Disappearance of IRS Emails].

Lest the Americas be perceived as a safe-haven (now that BHO has chucked the Monroe Doctrine), note
its turmoil [Don't Cry as Marxist Argentina Defaults; Obama, via Uruguay, urges Cuba to Release Jailed
U.S. Citizen; and Ecuador Seeks to Control Opposition Media by Designating Press a 'Public Service'].

Regarding the issue of secrecy [Court renews order allowing NSA to collect phone
records and PAPER: America's expanding police state], it has been suggested that the
GOP encourage Millennials to Oppose NSA Intrusion; this should be perceived as part of
a global approach to suppress Big Governments intrusion upon Individual Rights [and,
thus, to encompass relaxation of the GOPs social-issue postures on gay-marriage,
abortion, and pot-legalization]. Perhaps such recognition could spread to Dems due to
overwhelming fiscal-realities, as has perhaps occurred in California [Amtrak Bails on CA's
High-Speed Rail and Analyst Says Budget Deal Doesn't Save High-Speed Rail After All].

Perhaps newly-empowered moderate-republicans such as Kevin McCarthy could push a
more libertarian agenda [Five challenges for McCarthy are Make a mark, Handle the
business-conservative rift, Work with (Rising Conservative Star) Scalise, Win in
November, and Avoid Cantors fate] a challenge it seems he has properly recognized
[Kevin McCarthy won't reauthorize the Export-Import Bank and Laughing All the Way to
the Export-Import Bank]; newly-empowered conservative-republicans could emerge
accordingly [MCDANIEL HAS 8-POINT LEAD OVER COCHRAN, DAYS FROM ELECTION and
Dems Campaigning for Moderate Cochran in Mississippi]. In the process, unfortunately,
the media will continue to be pushing libs [New York Magazine: Dana Milbank Heritage
Smear Fake But Accurate].

As POTUS-16 jockeying occurs, both parties remain unsettled. Among the Rs, although
NATION MAGAZINE concluded SCOTT WALKER WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT, others
disagree [including moi, for Id love to see him run with Cruzregardless of who is atop],
and MIKE PENCE HINTED AT 2016 RUN, TALKING FEDERALISM AND MAJOR REFORMS
[recalling that he endorsed Caroline Glicks book]. Among the Dems, noting that
HILLARY BOOK FELL OUT OF TOP 10 AMAZON AFTER ONE WEEK and that there has
been a Clinton/BHO-feud [KLEIN: Inside jealous feud between Obamas and 'Hildebeest'
and Hillary bristled at Benghazi deception and KLEIN: HILLARY HAS BAD HEART] and that
Bret Baier & Van Susteren Talk Criticism of Hillary Clinton Interview (during which she
said she had initially creened back-and-forth between the video and terrorism @ 1:30 of
the tape)it is not surprising that O'Malley gare a rousing speech in Iowa].

In PA, turmoil remains the norm, as bipartisan accusations of corruption persisted [Lawyers seek
dismissal of bribery charges against ex-Dem leader and Casino magnate's donation to GOP might be
illegal]; also, it was revealed by the Bucks DA that HR mistakes cost taxpayers $450K and that Salaries for
Bucks Countys 13 public school superintendents for the 2014-15 school year will range from $130,000
to $220,375. DEMS FOUGHT OVER PARTY LEADERSHIP, RENDELL RIPPED BURNS, and WOLF SKIPPED
MEETING; I commented on three stories from PoliticsPA [Staff Shakeup Highlights Dem Family Feud,
Burn Celebrates Re-Election at State Committee Meeting and Corbett Ties Wolf to Obama, Wolf
Connects Corbett to Harrisburg] thusly [noting that these commentsand the responses theretowere
directed @ David Diano]:

First, remember that your opinions were discounted and your avoidance of predicting
was documented [regarding PA13], so you continue pontificating @ your peril.
Second, it is true that Corbett is down in the polls, but you know that they routinely
tighten as election-day approaches; thus, it is apt BOTH to reject the two-term mantra
AND the assumption that Corbett is doomed.
Third, it would be wrong to conclude Wolfs three-headed monster paradigm is flawed
at its onset, for its possible hell be able to divide the workload and to coordinate [to
whatever degree it's legal] accordingly.
Fourth, you ignore Marcels observation; as MAD as he knows I am @ him for not
lambasting BHO on his failed foreign policies [particularly Iran], he is indubitably correct,
here, for Wolf must be perceived as the titular head of the party [win or lose] now and
for the next four years [reflecting the grass-roots verdict].
Fifth, it is vital that the GOP not become excessively pleased with awareness of this
presumed-turmoil; it will settle-down as common-goals are rediscovered; the far more
important event will be the AG-Kane report on whether there will be a Tom and Jerry
[Sandusky] show in the Fall [due to be released tomorrow].
*
The comment that triggered my reaction was your initial Nothing to see here! Remain
calm! All is well!; this attempt to minimize what occurred was contravened by the
subsequent comments [including yours] regarding what had transpired [and why].
Obviously, my allegedly obtuse lingo didnt impede your ability to appreciate my
having concurred with Marcels viewpoint; regardless of how the issue was handled,
the task of unification was created.
Your pontifications aside, your prediction of Corbetts inevitable defeat ["There is no
action he can take in these last few months to dig out of the hole hes dug for 4 years."]
denies the import of Sandusky ["it's summertime"] without recognizing the fact that one
may presume 1/4-million PSU-grads [who vote] will suddenly shed their chronic fealty
for JoePa.
*
You cannot justify attacking me for your ambiguity [The nothing to see here comment
"] when you had to explain-it-away subsequently by citing information you had failed
initially to divulge; it is certainly gratifying that you concur that the weekends events
will undoubtedly create an additional challenge for Wolf.
You attacked Chris for alleged-illiteracy, but you forgot to insert a vowel in a subsequent
sentence ["If you agree with Marcel that unification is achieved, then you should (BE)
more, not less, convinced of Corbetts defeat."].
The Sandusky-stats include employees, indeed, anyone who has potentially-emotional
ties to PSUs storied-past; I didnt argue that most would vote for Corbett, but I did
express the concern that they would not be as predisposed to support his re-election if
they felt he had unjustifiably dissed JoePa.
I concur that deserves is a strong term but, as you know, you cant beat someone
with no-one and those who may feel disaffected would have to feel motivated to vote
for someone else [whom they actually might not consider qualified, or might not share
their beliefs, or may not seem trustworthy, etc.]; thus, notwithstanding polls, Corbett
can attempt to assemble the same complement of voters he enjoyed in 10.
I may write for others when suggesting that you satirize only yourself by using inflated
rhetoric; better you should provide unbridled info when pontificating, if you would want
your assertions to withstand the test-of-time.
***
As I just wrote elsewhere [http://www.politicspa.com/exclusive-staff-shakeup-
highlights-dem-family-feud/58902/comment-page-1/#comment-868341], you do not
re-enter the world of pontification with clean hands, and your skewed thought-patterns
are again evident.
Your hypothetical ignores the effects of what happened over time; clearly, there are
roots to this obvious conflict that will persist; again, although the GOP shouldnt draw
any degree of false-confidence from awareness of what has transpired, it would
behoove you to adopt a more level-headed approach to interpreting ongoing events.
Again, although I could be accused perhaps of over-focus on issues, the greater impact
on the gubernatorial race will emerge as the voters look upon Corbett [and lower
unemployment, for example] in a cohesive fashion [comparing promises with
performance].
*
If you think your best-shot is on Education-funding, perhaps you should recognize that it
has increased during the past three years [with total external funding dipping only after
the "Stimulus"]; each of the below is on the Commonwealth Foundations website:
An Inconvenient Truth: School Spending & Revenue at All-Time Highs
Five Facts on Pennsylvania Public Schools
Myth: PA Spends Less on Education
*
None of your attacks on the Commonwealth Foundation included citation of alternate-
data; this impugns your ability to provide evidence-based info.
Also, I have no doubt that Philly will vote for Wolf/Stack but, remember, people have a
tendency both to vote for a party and to reject an individual who provokes revulsion;
would you not agree that BHO is rapidly attaining the latter status, portending a tsunami
mediated by the former phenomenon?
Also, your memory is faulty when you claim Id claimed existence of a groundswell of
support for Guzzardi, because my focus was on his ballot-eligibility [for I'd vetted the
signatures]; I felt [as did he...and the one poll that was taken in this regard] that he had
a baseline-support of ~20% [most of whom would gladly support Corbett over Wolf,
BTW, assuming they vote].
***
For the third time this-a.m., it is necessary to call-you-to-task on this website; your
recent track-record [http://www.politicspa.com/exclusive-staff-shakeup-highlights-
dem-family-feud/58902/comment-page-1/#comment-868341] and your faulty logic
[http://www.politicspa.com/exclusive-staff-shakeup-highlights-dem-family-
feud/58902/comment-page-1/#comment-868341] have already been recounted.
In this instance, you channel your fearless-hero, BHO, who has unilaterally declared the
death of the coal industry and the inevitability of higher utility rates; better you should
endorse the Keystone XL Pipeline and allow free-markets to energize both America and
the world [including Europe and, in particular, Ukraine].
Your ability to conjure rationalizations is your most characteristic capacity, here, but you
lose credibility in the process [both from your Dem-colleagues and, of course, from
GOP'ers such as myself]; perhaps you may wish to replace reflex-boosterism with an
ounce of pragmatism before pontificating with such a take-no-prisoners closed-minded-
ness.
*
Your shots @ Guzzardi neglect the underlying concern that has animated your
comments, namely, the problems associated with Corbetts re-election campaign; I have
maintained the PSU-issue is profound and will have to be overcome, a challenge that
wouldnt have existed if Cawley had inherited the nod.
That Guzzardi channeled many deeply conservative concerns [including the issue of tax-
hikes] cannot be denied and will have to be tackled also, as Corbett attempts to
motivate the base; again, Cawley wouldnt have had as much of a problem in this
regard.
In both instances, however, Corbett can rebound; in contrast, your ability to conjure
false anti-Coal arguments [e.g., undocumented environmental risks]were its
wisdom:to be mirrored by Demscould easily serve as one Achilles Heel that could
metastasize [if any degree of clear-messaging were to be conveyed to the citizenry].
*
You argue that the Sandusky-situation is baked-in-the-cake of overall Corbett-
opposition, but it is possible the former could be alleviated tomorrow andto whatever
degree it may have bled into the latterlegislative achievements could alleviate the
latterso your claims/conclusions are premature.
Guzzardi didnt articulate idiot-ideas, and you may recall how erroneous your multiple
predictions were regarding his petitions; as you know, the Supremes claimed he didnt
follow law that even the DoS had supersededso you cannot fault his supporters for
having advocated on his behalf.
Finally, your claims regarding the safety-issues facing coal-mining are both based on
20th-century data and not dispositive; this is similar to attacks on fracking and the
Keystone XLso if you are going to adhere to environmentalism, you really owe the
readership facts rather than pontification.
Meanwhile, the GOPs Legislative agenda remained unsettled [Tom Corbett's rock & hard place,
Corbett's 4
th
budget could be toughest fight yet, Big oil & gas groups warn PA on taxes, Sen. Wagner: the
importance of paycheck protection, and PA Bill: limit film tax credits for QVC, others], while PA took
legal action against 5 electricity suppliers.
