Have you noticed how Barack Obama is surrounded not only by anti-American radicals like Bill Ayers, but also a healthy crop of racists?

The latest example comes from Je$$ie Jackson (aka Jessie Jackson) himself.  Apparently he told the New York Times that the "Zionists" would lose their influence if Obama is elected president.

For those unfamiliar, "Zionist" is one of the more clean and repeatable names some people call Jews and those who are friendly to Israel and Jewish causes.

Seems Jackson believes these "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would be left out in the cold in an Obama regime, er, administration.

Je$$ie Jackson's relationship with Obama has not always been peachy, since a few months ago Jackson made comments about wanting to castrate Obama.  However, Jackson probably realizes that for a black racist like himself, Obama is the only game in town.

You might recall it was Je$$ie Jackson who called Jews "Hymies" and derided New York City as "Hymietown" several years back.

But Jackson isn't the only renowned promoter of racial harmony who supports Obama. 

Famed racist and America-hater Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has called Obama  the "hope of the entire world."  He even spoke of Obama in messianic terms: "A black man with a white mother became a savior to us." 

This is the same Farrakhan who called Judaism a "gutter religion" and called Jews "white devils" and "bloodsuckers."

Obama's church has honored Farrakhan for his "lifetime achievement"

Speaking of which, who could forget Obama's racist pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his anti-white, anti-American ravings?

None of this means that Obama is himself an anti-American, white-hating, Jew-hating racist.

But there is much truth in the saying that "Birds of a feather flock together," so it does make you wonder...
