Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), you have some serious explaining to do, particularly since only a few days ago you was courting Jewish voters at AIPAC and assuring its members that they could count on you.
That said, Sen. Obama, how do you explain this graphic—prominently featured on the Socialists for Obama Community Blog on YOUR official website—posted June 7, 2008, by Juan Carlos of Knoxville, Tennessee? (See screencapture at the bottom of this page.)
Answer these questions, please, Sen. Obama.
As Bill Levinson at Israpundit pointed out on March 30, 2008, when he discovered similar anti-Semitic Community Blogs on your official website, including one by Juan Carlos, "This Internet domain is under Barack Obama's editorial control."
It still is. What do you plan to do about this, Sen. Obama?
The graphic, and a similar one posted below, accompanies the article posted by Juan Carlos—"How the jewish lobby works"—and written by Brother Nathanael Kapner who operates the blog Real Jew News. As you can see from this pic, Sen. Obama, Br. Kapner wants to "Warn How Anti-Christ Jews Are Destroying Christianity In America."How does this square, Sen. Obama, with your assurances to AIPAC?
In Br. Kapner's article he writes:
In other words, “Jews stick together.” Americans must know how extremely powerful the Jewish Lobby is and how it operates to undermine America’s interests both at home and abroad. At home - by corrupting America’s political system, and abroad - by dictating American Foreign Policy against America’s best interests.
Question for you, Sen. Obama: guess what prominent Jewish organization tops Br. Kapner's list? In case you need some help, it's AIPAC:
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC): AIPAC has a staff of over 150 employees and an annual budget of over $60 million Here derived from private contributions from wealthy Jews and Jewish-owned businesses. In other words, “money corrupts & Jewish money corrupts the American political system absolutely.”
~ AIPAC has many “PACS” attached to their Lobby. PACS are “Public Action Committees,” sanctioned by Federal Law, that give huge donations to political candidates. PACS are the means by which AIPAC and all Jewish lobbies utilize the immense wealth of Jewry to bribe US politicians. AIPAC is currently lobbying for the US to attack Iran Here & Here. AIPAC’s Executive Director is the powerful Anti-Christian Jew, Howard Kohr.
We know that you're a poker player, a real gambling man, so RW is willing to put up just about any amount of money you'd like that this was NOT in your AIPAC speech.
And, Sen. Obama, are you aware that Juan Carlos is using your official website to raise funds for Br. Kadner's cause?Please Help Support This Site! (Many Expenses)

A few final questions, Sen. Obama, if you don't mind.We're waiting for those answers, Sen. Obama.
Update #1: Well, that didn't take long! The word about this Community Blog page apparently spread like wildfire. Unbeknownst to RW, other blogs, including Little Green Footballs, knew about it and wrote about it. Within a matter of 5 minutes the page disappeared. Here is the screenshot that was just taken. If you compare the search line, you will see that it is the same for both headers.
Note: Another series of screenshots can be viewed at the McCain Dem/Clinton Republican blog. There is no commentary, but you can see the continuous page taken in 8 segments.
Update #2: Seems like Little Green Footballs found something left behind when the Obama webmaster cleared out Juan Carlos's post—another post by JC himself: "The Israeli Connection to 9/11".
What kind of excuses can we expect from the Obama campaign? Well, Little Green Footballs has a valid comeback at the ready:
By the way, it is absolutely no excuse to say that “anyone can post a blog there.” Barack Obama isn’t running a Blogspot blog, he’s running for president of the United States, and his official web site is full of hatred and antisemitism.
A bit more information comes from The Husaria, which gives Juan Carlos name as Juan Carlos Cruz.
Juan Carlos Cruz at my.barackobama.com explains how the Jewish Lobby works. “These Jews are corrupting U.S. politics” It is important to note that Juan Carlos Cruz is not a fly-by-night operative or agent provacateur who posted this stuff to make Obama look bad. He has posted numerous entries at my.barackobama.com, and we have a screen shot of his work from back in March.
So, who is this Juan Carlos Cruz? A link for Juan Carlos Cruz found on the Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist Media blog comments section linked to RevLeft, "Home of the Revolutionary Left", "one of the world's largest leftist forum communities where over 8,000 leftists from around the world come to discuss politics, history, political theory, philosophy, music, literature, films and much more in over 50,000 posted discussions!" This name pops up on other similar blogs.
Update #3: At last! Juan Carlos Cruz is really Elvira G. Cruz. She, if that is indeed HER real name, gives her location as Knoxville, Tennessee. In an Amazon.com review of "The Power of Israel in the United States" by James Petras, Cruz wrote:
I think USA should nationalize itself. This Israeli influence inside USA government and economics is very bad for all americans. Americans must do something about it, in order to democratize this nation like the Founding Fathers wanted. Because if it continues like this we will see the death of the republic, under Israeli rule !!
In another Amazon.com book review, "Elvira G. Cruz" wrote November 16, 2006:
Hi, I am Juan Carlos Cruz from Dominican Republic, i am in Knoxville, TN,...
Indeed, the "Elvira G. Cruz" (Elvira Cecilia Guzman Belliard Cruz), age 72, of Knoxville, TN, passed away Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Juan Carlos Cruz is her son. RW is a great fan of genealogical records. This one nails it.
Update #4: The person calling him/herself Juan Carlos Cruz of Knoxville, TN, appears to be a bit more than a casual diarist at Sen. Obama's website. He is an equal opportunity hater—and possibly an intentional agitator? What are his intentions? Further poking around in the bowels of the internet finds more.
In November 2004 he commented at Arizona Indymedia "USA has become a right wing fascism":
Hey my friends: The USA has become an oppressive military ultra-capitalist dictatorship. I am from Dominican Republic and I was in Knoxville, TN for vacation, and I couldn't stand the dictatorship, because the streets, roads, stores and shopping malls were militarized. Note that the Interstate highways are very militarized in USA to track and control people [the goal of this is not for terrorism but to control people so that Bush can be re-elected again in 2008]. Beware of policemen in USA they are criminals, and even your neighbors are criminals because they join with the government against regular people like u and me. Well I had to go back to Dominican Republic because I couldn't stand the military dictatorship of Knoxville, Tennessee, USA ... Juan Carlos Cruz, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Juan Carlos Cruz's return to the Dominican Republic may have had more to do with immigration issues than his disgust for the United States. This undated prayer list (cache file) for Hope Church Knoxville shows the following:
Cecilia Cruz – she has gone home from the hospital with Hospice Care
Cecilia Cruz’ son, Juan Carlos Cruz – citizenship issues
If you note from above, his mother's name is Elvira Cecilia Guzman Belliard Cruz. It would appear that she went by Cecilia.
By linking these few pieces together, it is fairly certain that this is all the same Juan Carlos Cruz. The second Amazon.com blog post cited above, links that Cruz with his mother, Cecilia Cruz. It also continues to show his/her Leftist view of the United States.
I am Juan Carlos Cruz from Dominican Republic, i am in Knoxville, TN, spending some time with my mom who had a bypass surgery. You know how evil and harsh this capitalist system is that it literally offers you hot dogs, breads, starches, easily available junk food like pizzas, an array of cheeses like Monterrey cheeses, whole milk in gallons, red meats, etc. and then it sends you to a hospital and then it literally kills you. That's why i am so mad with the capitalist system and of course because of many other bad things it causes to all the people of this world. I recieved your book today The Thyroid Diet and i am so eager to start to read it. Well keep the good fight against the capitalist doctors who tell people to get levothyroxine which is not the best cure for slow thyroid. Take care and God bless you
Also, it seems that "Juan Cruz" turns up elsewhere on the internet using another version of his mother's name, Juan Carlos Cruz Guzman. In this 2007 article, scroll down to the comments section for this Radio Mundial Spanish-language article about Hugo Chavez to find his name.
Why is this important? For one thing, there are a lot more like Juan Carlos Cruz out there—and more and more of them are gravitating towards Sen. Obama. His far Leftist leanings seem to be drawing them in like a great powerful magnet. This person calling him/herself Juan Carlos Cruz is agitating those around him/her, whether that is the intended purpose or not. Look at the flurry of interest this story has generated over the past few days.
One commenter berated RW essentially for mudraking and focusing on only one out of thousands of blog postings on Sen. Obama's website. Another even went so far as to accuse RW of creating the Juan Carlos Cruz post on Sen. Obama's website just so we could report on it! If this is the warped mindset of Sen. Obama's supporters, it should be of great concern to everyone.
Update #5: Rick Moran at American Thinker, who includes some commentary from Juan Carlos' now-deleted blog page, commented June 8, 2008, in Too bad this didn't come out BEFORE Obama spoke to AIPAC:
To say that what this "Socialist for Obama" writes is anti-Semitic, hateful, inaccurate, insulting, idiotic, paranoid tripe is a given.
But when you realize this is on Obama's website, you really have to start wondering about not just the candidate, but people's whose job it is to vet the site and make sure excrement like this doesn't appear. [...]
Hey Kids! Let's play pretend...
Let's pretend that this blog post appeared on John McCain's website. Let's pretend it was seen by lefty bloggers. Let's pretend that your average lefty blogger isn't a screaming meemie of an anti-semite but rather a rational human being.
Can you imagine the hue, the cry, and the hue again that would be raised against McCain? The guy would be run out of the race on a rail.
But the Annointed One can get away with this because 1) Lefty bloggers really don't care about this kind of hate speech; and 2) Obamamessiah can do no wrong.
This is another reason why this is important. Remove John McCain's name from Moran's comments and insert Hillary Clinton's instead. Can you imagine the hue and cry times ten that would ensue?
Update #6: Apparently RW is not the only one being accused of creating the Juan Carlos entry on Sen. Obama's website, Little Green Footballs was as well, via a commenter on Ben Smith's The Politico no less.
Scrubone at Something Should Go Here, Maybe Later reported the craziness, as well as a listing of other anti-Semitic and hate-filled blogs on Sen. Obama's website. In fact, Little Green Footballs serves up "57 Flavors of Crazy."
Update #7: The Gateway Pundit has more about the Juan Carlos entry; the page itself has been around since at least April 2008, he informs.
Update #8: Blogger Chicagoan at No Quarter has more screenshots and a good writeup. Many thanks for giving RW credit for being involved with taking Juan Carlos's page down; however, credit belongs fairly where it is due and it was a combined effort of a lot of bloggers bringing so much attention to the offending post within a couple hours that forced its disappearance.
RW was tipped off in an email, scurried to do the screencaptures just in case the post disappeared, but, sadly, was not quick enough to copy the comments section, which WAS pure gold.
It will take a continued joint vigilence to rid Sen. Obama's website of the infestation of vermin and deprive the Invasion of the Obamabots from succeeding anywhere on the internet.
Update #9: Pam Geller at Atlas Shrugs has more.
Update #10: Bill Levinson of Israpundit, who noted Juan Carlos presence on Sen. Obama's website back in March 2008, has more.
Update #11: The Husaria has even more.
