Advertises Democrat candidate’s website, official slogan at Judaism’s holiest site

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plastered the entrance to the Western Wall – the holiest site in Judaism – with official campaign posters, WND has learned.
Jerusalem Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed to WND posters that adorned police barricades erected at the Western Wall plaza for Obama’s visit were distributed by the presidential candidate’s campaign.
“These posters were his campaign and not the doing of the police,” said Rosenfeld, whose police department coordinated security and provided protection for Obama’s visit today to the holy site.
Asked if it was traditional practice for politicians visiting the Western Wall to bring along posters or campaign materials, Rosenfeld replied, “No.”
The posters display Obama’s name in Hebrew. One poster erected on the main police barricade used by Obama to enter the holy site boasts the official red, white and blue campaign “O” symbol and advertises the candidate’s campaign’s website.
A second poster also displays Obama’s name in Hebrew and contains an image of Israeli and American flags.
Reuters posted images of the Obama campaign posters showing a handful of people waiting behind the police barricades.
Reuters images had the following caption:
“Supporters of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) stand behind banners printed with his name in Hebrew as they wait for his arrival at the Western wall.”
The caption implied supporters brought along the pro-Obama material.
But an eyewitness speaking to WND tells a different story.
“The kids waiting for Obama may not even be Obama supporters. No one knew Obama was coming in advance. We saw the police barricades erected. We saw Obama’s face on the posters, and some police said Obama was on his way. So a few people gathered by the barricades and waited for Obama,” said the witness

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Manipulation by Obama’s team and I find it disgusting! These people do not respect anything. NOT our military, NOT the Jews in Israel, NOT our wounded soldiers, NOT our country……NOTHING!
Yes I am ticked about these lies and disrespect.
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.
This 2008 Obamanation campaign logo disgusts me and the symbolism here is that OBAMANATION will replace Old Glory and her 232 years… WE THE PEOPLE have to get out the vote now more than ever!
I believe this whole trip was nothing more than a political campaign and he should be barred from receiving taxpayer dollars for his so called “fact finding” mission. It is inappropriate to visit our troops in Germany. Since when is it appropriate for a US presidential candidate to campaign overseas. And to make it worse not even visit what is probably the largest concentration of US citizens in Germany. Does this arrogant POS think he has their vote wrapped up or does he just not give a f&%k. And why is he campaigning to US non-citizens. Part of the NWO? He is dangerous and must be stopped.
BLASPHEMY!!
WHAT A SORRY DAMN THING TO DO !!!
1. impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.
2. Theology. the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.
3. irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.:
UNBELEIVEABLE BS!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THE JEWS LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAP!!!
THIS SHOULD BE ALL OVER THE NEWS !!
Maybe he should have put campaign posters up on a few muslim mosques.
Give him enough rope, Obama will hang himself, sometimes people don’t realize they’ve been slimed and demeaned until the following day. It’s like getting up on Nov 1 to find that your house had been egged the previous night.
If the Jewish people are not offended by a desecration of their’s and Christianity’s holiest site not to mention that of the muzzies then they deserve to be demeaned.
The Democrats established their tradition of disrespect for anything back when they turned Paul Wellstone’s funeral into a hate filled political rally, this in the same state that gave us Keith Ellison.
Driving on Rt. 15 today I saw a Billboard with what I thought was an obama ad. It was a Comfort Inn add it seems they have a similar logo.
The sun rising in Obamahood, won’t you be my patsy.
I’d like to know what was written on the piece of paper Hussein pushed in between a crack in the wall while wearing a Jewish cap. Also he said today that all of the “leaders” he talked to expressed concern over Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. Was the Palestinian leaders concern that he might not?
The Ethics Cleanser 08, me too big time. It almost looks like it is swolling up our Flag or something.
Bob, I agree I think it was too.
What gets me is McCain chided him into his not going to see the troops. So instead of making that all his trip was about, he only did a token visit to our troops and then did his agenda things for the entire trip.
Cheryl, that is what I don’t understand is how they were allowed to get away with it.
Tom, good point, I bet they didn’t show any disrespect to the Muslim places.
Jack, yes I agree, they let them do it and here we are the ones upset. Olmert has lost it over there he has no strength imo he is really weak.
I stay supporting the IDF, they are the ones that want to fight back big time.
Mark, OMG how funny. Thanks for sharing about that. I wonder if he knows how similar it is. heh heh
Bob, I wonder too. Maybe allah akbar no just kidding but not far off probably.
Yes I doubt the PLO liked what Obama said about Iran.
I am not thrilled by the posters, but I have bigger concerns like what he intends to do about Jerusalem, Iran etc..
