This is clearly a slow news day. The lead story on memeorandum right now is a (now-deleted) post written by someone named “Brother Nathanael Kapner”. It was posted to the community space at my.barackobama.com — specifically, to the page of a “group” called “Socialists for Obama”.
The blog post has been pulled down — but not before folks got themselves all frothed up.
I wonder whether a simple google search on Bro. Kapner would have helped Carl with his confusion about who wrote that piece? Cuz while google turned up some interesting conspiracy theorizing and ski-slope dancing, it also clarified for even the simplest of minds that Nathanael Kapner is not Barack Obama.
So folks…. you do realize that pretty much anyone can set up a space on any of these political sites…. yes?
And you do know the difference between an official campaign site and contributor space… right?
Here’s a hint:
Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign.
Sigh…
And the people in their spinny chairs go round, and round, and round, and round…
Then they all throw up.

This is freakin’ hilarious. Sort of like the idjits who post the obligatory link to the “real truth” about CAIR, on each and every article/post/comment pertaining to the latest clust…err… “situation” over at Friendswood ISD. That doesn’t make the Chronicle faith-based Islamophobic newspaper, any more than the presence of the posting by “Brother Kapner” on Sen. Obama’s site makes him an anti-semite.
It is, as the saying goes, to laugh…

It is hilarious! Funnier still — the Obama site deleted my post that mentioned the issue. I’d used the term Jewish lobby, from the initial story.
