OBAMA WEBSITE: How the Jewish Lobby Works.

UPDATE: Airbrushed.

(Note: Added “website” to make clear it’s not Obama himself who said this stuff. But note that this is his official website.)

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Martin Shoemaker emails:

The Community Blogs at Obama 08 are no more “official” than the rantings of BDS sufferers at an Obama rally. I have a blog there, just to prove how easy it is to get one, and Senator Obama has ZERO chance of getting my vote. You could have one. It’s as simple as signing up. There’s no vetting process of any kind.

Any nut with an axe to grind can post any offensive material on the Community Blogs, and the Obama campaign will be unaware unless someone raises a stink. In fact, it’s entirely possible that a McCain operative could go on the site, create a blog, post offensive material, and then leak the URL to LGF to “prove” how disreputable the Senator’s supporters are. Shades of Dan Rather!

Or of Canadian “Human Rights” investigators. But the Kos-style open diary thing seems like a highly unwise approach for a Presidential campaign, even one that expects Big Media outfits to protect them on issues like this, as isn’t done for others.

MORE: There’s more on this at Political Punch. And John Aravosis says there’s nasty reader-generated content at McCain’s site, too. More proof that the “community” approach is a bad idea for official campaign sites. Meanwhile, I’d bet that if the McCain stuff had come out before the Obama stuff, instead of afterward, the press would be making a much bigger deal of it than they did about Obama’s . . . .
