Paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research...


Wow. Dustin, don't load this video on your work computer.

Just more evidence for why candidate Obama needs good inflammatory ads produced by independent organizations. Or not. From JCER:

Since early in 2007, Jews have been the target of a rumor campaign, intended to spread misinformation and sow mistrust. Many Jews, with the best of intentions, forwarded these emails to others in their networks. These rumors eventually moved from email to one-on-one communications among friends and family. The cumulative effect of these dirty tricks has been to leave many in the Jewish community angry and confused, while some are fearful that the Democratic nominee and possibly the next President does not have their interests at heart.


What I'm confused about is whether this video accomplishes their goal of countering attempts by the right to foster fears of "Obama is Muslim," or whatever rumor this video tries to correct for...like African Americans dying young? That said, the idea of "The Great Schlep" is beautiful and wrong. Brong! What can I say, Sarah Silverman = non-problematic social commentary. Always and ever will be.

Enjoy!
