Even if I were suggesting such a thing, why are you acting so offended? It sick that you would care so much if an Armenian or some Armenians blamed the joos but there are many joo organizations, especially in the u.s. which help turkey in its denialist efforts. You may think you are just "doing the right thing" (whatever that is), but you're just doing a diservice to your people and will get nothing in return from the chosenites.

I'm not offended and if tomorrow Israel would be overrun by the arabs I wouldn't care one bit. The juws have never done anything for us and I know it.

I just spoke my mind about their involvement in the genocide, though the part about me doing a disservice for my people got me a bit troubled because that is something I would never do.

GOP Envisions Gephardt as Possible Obama Running Mate


Wed Jul 2, 12:56 PM ET

Republican strategists trying to game Sen. Barack Obama's choice for a running mate are focusing more and more on the possibility that he might pick former House Majority Leader xxxx Gephardt, a friend of labor and blue-collar workers. "Gephardt is the one we're most afraid of," said a key GOP strategist and Bush ally.


Gephardt has run for the presidency and scored well among the types of voters Obama is trying to reach out to--lower and middle-class workers, laborers, and minorities. Another strategist said that Gephardt presents a friendly face of liberalism that would be hard to attack. He also has a deep well of support among House Democrats, who they believe would rally around an Obama-Gephardt ticket, especially the allies of Sen. Hillary Clinton.


Former Gephardt aides say that while they would like to see their former boss on the ticket, it is unlikely because of his recent lobbying work. In a new poll from the marketing firm Affinnova, Gephardt ranks high on the favorability rating, just second among those polled behind Colin Powell as the choice for Obama's running mate.


For a longer look at the veepstakes, look here for Obama and here for McCain.

TURKEY'S NEW "GEPHARDT" CONTRACT SEEKS TO BLOCK EVEN "DEBATE" ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE


-- Department of Justice Files Reveal Troubling Details of DLA Piper/Gephardt Foreign Agent Registration Filing

Washington, DC - U.S. Department of Justice files obtained this week by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reveal details about Turkey's new lobbying contract with DLA Piper, including a controversial - although not entirely surprising - provision that seeks to prevent even "debate" in the United States on legislation "that harms Turkey's interests or image."

According to the contract, Turkey is to pay DLA Piper $1.2 million for the year and an additional $750,000 to The Livingston Group, headed by Robert Livingston, a former Congressional leader who resigned in 1998 after a personal scandal.

"These new Department of Justice filings reveal just how deeply xxxx Gephardt has sunk, compromising his integrity by turning against a human rights issue he energetically supported as an elected Member of Congress," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "We are especially troubled by the provision in the contract that seeks to export Turkey's Criminal Code Article 301 to the United States by requiring DLA Piper to prevent even 'debate' on issues Turkey considers harmful to its image. This requirement,
which falls far outside the American democratic tradition, is, sadly, entirely consistent with Turkish government's efforts to suppress freedom of expression by criminalizing speech that 'insults Turkishness.'"

Earlier this month, Gephardt's willingness to work as part of Turkey's denial campaign stirred controversy across Capitol Hill. In a Dear Colleague letter, three leading Democratic supporters of the Armenian Genocide Resolution informed their fellow Members that his opposition to this human rights legislation stood in sharp contrast to his strong record of supporting this measure during his years in Congress. The letter, written by Representatives Anna Eshoo (D-CA), the only Armenian American in Congress, Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the Co-Chairman of the Armenian Caucus, and Adam Schiff (D-CA), the lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, was accompanied by a copy of a September 2000 letter signed by then-Representative Gephardt in support of the timely adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution.

As a member of the House, Gephardt cosponsored legislation recognizing the Armenian Genocide, as recently as H.Res.193 in 2003, and dating all the way back to H.J.Res.192, more than 20 years ago, during the 99th Congress. In 1998, he offered remarks at the ANCA Armenian Genocide Observance on Capitol Hill.

Re: Armenians For Obama Participates in Major LA Obama Event

Hello, fellow forum members! I have some questions about Barack Obama.
Here is question number one:

Why would Barack Obama call for the recognition of Armenian Genocide from.... Azerbaijan? If he is Armenia friendly man, why not visit Armenia?

And why would he visit a Muslim country at the time (in 2005) when no one even knew him, and at the time when he was not running for president?


Here's what I just discovered:

BARACK OBAMA CALLS FOR PASSAGE OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION

“America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian Genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that President.”

As a Senator, Barack Obama has spoken in support of U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide and cosigned a letter urging President Bush to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide. He has forcefully called for the adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, but has yet to formally cosponsor this legislation. While visiting Azerbaijan in August 2005, Senator Obama was asked by reporters why he cosigned the letter to President Bush. Obama defended his decision by stating the genocide was a historical fact. The Illinois Senator publicly criticized the firing of former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Evans, who was dismissed for speaking truthfully about the Armenian Genocide.

Barack Obama on the Importance of US-Armenia Relations

January 19, 2008
I am proud of my strong record on issues of concern to the one and a half million Americans of Armenian heritage in the United States. I warmly welcome the support of this vibrant and politically active community as we change how our government works here at home, and restore American leadership abroad.
I also share with Armenian Americans – so many of whom are descended from genocide survivors - a principled commitment to commemorating and ending genocide. That starts with acknowledging the tragic instances of genocide in world history. As a U.S. Senator, I have stood with the Armenian American community in calling for Turkey’s acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide. Two years ago, I criticized the Secretary of State for the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, after he properly used the term “genocide” to describe Turkey’s slaughter of thousands of Armenians starting in 1915. I shared with Secretary Rice my firmly held conviction that the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence. The facts are undeniable. An official policy that calls on diplomats to distort the historical facts is an untenable policy. As a senator, I strongly support passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106 and S.Res.106), and as President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide.

I still don't understand why would that man call for the recognition of Armenian Genocide from Azerbaijan?

Re: Armenians For Obama Participates in Major LA Obama Event

Obama never signed the S.res bill to this day.

Hes all talk. He said he was for Gay Marriage now hes against it, he will do the same with the genocide bill.
At least MCCain says he will not pass it and doesn't lie to get votes.Give tha man credit for that though I can't stand him.
I'm not voting for anyone.

I'm with you NightOwl, Obama will most likely do what Bush did in 2000. You can never trust politicians. I on the other hand am still deciding, maybe I'll have my mind made up after vp picks or debates

Re: Armenians For Obama Participates in Major LA Obama Event

OBAMA ALL THE FREAKING WAY.
If McCain wins, I will lose the little ounce of faith I have in americans and humanity. We would have reached a record breaking and collective low, and aliens will tune into their 6 o'clock news rejoicing over the fact that our own stupidity has killed us all.

Obama Asked "King David" To Be His Tool

Well, I am not really sure how it works overthere, in fact I am NOT an expert at these things, but I assume he asked Jooish God to be "an instrument of his will" through King David....
So, if I got it right, Obama is not a secret Muslim as it was claimed, but a secret Joo.

From Yahoo News:

Israeli paper publishes Obama Western Wall prayer

JERUSALEM - A written prayer that Barack Obama left this week in the cracks of the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, asks God to guide him and guard his family, an Israeli newspaper reported Friday.

"Lord — Protect my family and me," reads the note published in the Maariv daily. "Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."

The paper's decision to make the note public drew fire. The rabbi in charge of the Western Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitz, said publishing the note intruded in Obama's relationship with God.
"The notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall are between a person and his maker. It is forbidden to read them or make any use of them," he told Army Radio. The publication "damages the Western Wall and damages the personal, deep part of every one of us that we keep to ourselves," he said.
Another Israeli paper, Yediot Ahronot, published an article Friday saying it had also obtained the note but decided not to publish it to respect Obama's privacy.
