Attention, Obama Supporters: I Don't Give a Damn That Michelle Hussein Obama's Cousin is a (Fake) Rabbi

Printer Friendly

By Debbie Schlussel

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

A number of Obama supporters and Jewish people--some who are supporting Obama, some who have a brain and are not--have sent me an article (from the Left-wing Jewish newspaper, "Forward") about how Michelle Hussein/Insane Obama has a "first cousin, once removed" who is allegedly a "Rabbi".

And I should care about this because . . .?

That is supposed to magically erase all of the radicalism, pan-Islamism, pro-Palestinian terrorism, Nation of Islam, and anti-American associations of Mr. Michelle Obama?

Michelle Hussein Obama's Cousin, "Rabbi" Capers Funnye

Oh, and by the way, her "rabbi" first cousin, once removed, Capers Funnye, presides over a group of Black Hebrews, a cult associated with Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Yup, that makes me feel real comfy. The Black Hebrews or Black Israelites are not recognized by mainstream Judaism and often go to Israel to cause problems. Although from what I've read, it looks like Obama's cousin is a decent guy and practices more of Judaism than most Jews. (It's not about race--there are many Blacks who are legitimately Jews.)

Still, that makes no difference to me in considering Mr. Obama himself.

It's very interesting how every single candidate wants to suddenly find some connection to the Jews when they're running for office. The best--and funniest--take I've seen on this is Soccer Dad's "When You're Running For Office, The Whole World Is Jewish."

I don't like the pandering.

Every single candidate--on both sides of the aisle--promises to move the U.S. Embassy to Israel's capital, Jerusalem. Reagan, Bush the daddy, Clinton, Bush the dummy, and now, John McCain, all promised to do this. None did. So, whenever I hear this from a candidate, I say to the TV screen, stop BS-ing me! They never mean it, and you can tell when they say it that they have no such intention. And we all know about Barack Hussein Obama's flip-flop on Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

I don't give a damn. When I vote, I don't care if:

* someone is Jewish (Senator Carl Levin);

* their dad is a Jewish (Wesley Clark);

* they're embarrassed of and trying to hide their Jewish heritage, pretending to be Irish (John Kerry)--okay, I do care about that, and if you engage in that phoniness, you don't get my vote);

* they suddenly claim to have a Jewish step-grandfather (Hillary Clinton);

* they make up the absurd claim they're going to put a "kosher kitchen in the White House" (Bill Clinton)--and why anyone not Jewish would do this I haven't a clue, but we all know he said it to get votes and never meant it, as if Slick Willie would ever give up BLTs;

* they have a "first cousin, once removed" that's a Rabbi of a cult group of fake Jews, but hang out with Palestinian activists Edward Said and Ali Abunimah and have Nation of Islam people on their Senate Staff (Michelle Hussein Obama and Hubby, Barack);

* they wear a yarmulke or Obamaka at a synagogue, especially one of those dumb, tacky satin ones (Pretty much Every Presidential & VP Candidate).

None of these things will make me vote for a particular candidate. And in fact, whenever I see or hear these kinds of things, I see right through the phony pandering and know the person is probably not for me.

What I care about is:


* What will you do about America's immigration problems? Muslim immigrants to America who pose a growing threat?

* What will you do about growing Muslim impositions on American soil?

* What will you do on economic and social policy in America? Big Brother or Free Market?

* Why can't I have an automatic machine gun if I want one? Do you want to take away my ability to own and carry a gun?

* Will you start a Manhattan Project to get us off of oil once and for all and drill offshore and in Alaska until the problem's solved, or will you look to your speaking fees and Presidential library donations 4-8 years from now?

* How do you plan to address the constant Israeli fight against terrorism? What are your views on Jerusalem, a Palestinian terrorist state, Iran?

* Do you think America should be like Europe?

* Etc., etc., etc.

If you don't have the right answers on these, I don't care if you are Moses, himself, and the ultimate Talmudic scholar. You won't get my vote.

And please, take that silly satin yarmulke off. It doesn't become you.

Debbie, It is important that you posted this. I do know about this guys particular group, but from his own website it seems there are questions about his "conversion."

The Black Non-Hebrews are basically thugs who beat up elderly Jews in Chicago, moved to Liberia, got KICKED OUT of Liberia, settled [mostly] in Dimona, Israel in the late 70's, and were allowed to stay only after threatening mass-suicide. Nowadays, they pretty much have their own autonomy. Their "practices" {made up out of thin air and/or misinterpretations and/or whims of their leadership} include fasting on Shabbat [DS: the Jewish Sabbath], which most every Jew knows is forbidden, save for Yom Kippur, and perhaps the need to fast before a life saving operation (need to double check) veganism (nothing wrong with that, but meat eating is no problem according to Torah Law, obviously), fake blue braided fringes places on clothes which accord to Torah Law do not require such fringe,... The list goes on. I'd say fake hits the nail on the head.

Amen, Debbie! I'll take a non-Jew who supports Israel any day over a Jew who schleps with her enemies. It ain't religion with me but a person's character and where they stand on the issues. Big deal if Obama's supporters wear yamulkes. The guy they back is not good for America, for Israel and for the world!

This is about what you would expect from the Forward (sic). It is little more than a left wing gossip sheet. Who was Jewish, or part Jewish, or had a Jewish friend, blah, blah blah, in the Olympics, or this or that TV series, etc. Who is a Jewish baseball player, etc. Most Jewish local newspapers also do that a lot, and I guess this low level of journalism makes it easier for them to be liberal (or socialist for the Forward throughout its history, to say the very least). Since they don't bother with real news, there is nothing in their news papers to contradict their liberalism.

I saw on another blog that this is not true. Somebody else wrote this:

"The rabbi presides over a group of falsha mura Ethiopian Jews who are very much accepted in the Jewish community have no connection to Farrakan, and do not try to start trouble."

I don't know which statement is correct. Perhaps Debbie Schlussel can comment.

What are talking about?! The "Blacks Hewbrews", used to be "Black Israelites", are muslims. Who are they kidding? They follow the same identical Anti Chirst and Jewish philosphy as the Nation of Islam (NOI).

They believe in space ships as Farakhan. They also believe that the white man is hiding the UFOs too! Lol! They practice the same liberation Hate theory as the Nation of Islam. Those that can actually read, that is. They are fake Jews. They hate Jews! They are not Jews. They are black African Americans. They love to shred the Bible to twist it to what they want. They lie everything. All they want do is destroy.

Don't be worried by these clowns Debbie. All they want to do is usurp and worship Allah and Barack Obama as the Sun god. the NOI beleives a black man is going to rule the earth. Ha Ha! It's part of their Eygptian Hersies. They need to claim they are Jews to usurp the Judeo Christian faith. This is about Israel too.

Wait a minute. You mean Barack is connected to another black hate group? No waaaaay!

If these are the so called "Black Israelites" I have heard about, they are nothing but another racist cult, similar to dangerous kooks like "Nation of Islam". If this is the same group I am thinking of, to the best of my memory they are known as a hate group.

[D: THEY ARE THE SAME GROUP. AND I NOTED THAT ABOVE:

As my cousin's sister by marriage's grandmother's niece's Jewish uncle used to say, "Oy gevalt!" This is such utter nonsense. I'm glad you are the kind of Jewish American that can see through this crap instead of like some other Jewish Americans who (sadly) lap this stuff right up. As for your "list of things I care about" at the bottom, I am 100% behind on those conserns. I care about those also, along with a few others. I just saw a documentary this evening called 'Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West' (ya'll can get it on Netflix) and one of the things that was very striking (it's an EXCELLENT doc, BTW) that was brought up and discussed was how the world (mainly the West) fails to see that as it goes with Israel, so it eventually goes with the rest of the world. The West is vitally and irrevocably connected to Israel--whether some folks like it or not. And for that reason, if for no other, we who love freedom and democracy should care about what happens to Israel and the general treatment of Islamists towards the Jewish people at-large. Becuase after the Jews comes the rest of us--history has shown us that over and over. When will we get it? Besides that, we should care about Israel for Israel's sake. Because it's right and just.

It would have been helpful if you had provided the link for the blog entry that you claim to have taken this from.

I don't believe it. First of all, the Ethiopian Jews (the Beta Israel or Falasha) are in ISRAEL and they don't have half-crocked phony black American "rabbis" presiding over them. They have their own rabbis. Ethiopian Jewish rabbis. Who have been carrying these traditions for thousands of years. In any case, I don't believe this story. I tend to believe Debbie's version.

Debbie, I'll give you $50,000 if you'll live with me in a small town in Lower Alabama for at last five years. It's only two hours to synagogue and 600 miles to Miami Beach.

Funny how Blacks once considered Jews BRETHREN...there used to be a kinship amongst us until Nixon came along!!!

In Jamiaca that kinship is even more magnified...Rastas consider themselves children of ZION. Michelle Obama will make the greatest First Lady ever, but since the fix is in--it's gonna be Cindy McC and the Flying Nun that Amerikkka will be heralding as their queens.

The "Black Hebrews" of Dimona are crazy, but harmless...and they certainly are not real Jews. They do not beat up on Israelis...they stay to themselves mainly. (I have worked with the musicians amongst them)

As Musical Director of the [late great]Bat Dor Dance Company (Tel Aviv), I also worked with Alvin Ailey and his Company, who we hosted on many occasions over the years. The Ailey Company would perform at Hechal Hartabut (Mann Auditorium) in Tel Aviv or the Caesaria Amphitheatre, and they never, ever, had a problem. Of course in those days Ailey's company did not include militant Moslem converts.
