Diary authored by my good friend, "WLBD", who is new to DailyKos and has to wait a week before she can post a diary herself. This was too good a diary to keep the world waiting...

Enough already! Put me out of my misery!! If I read one more word about the Democratic veepstakes, I may go blind. If I hear one more word about it, I may go deaf. If I keep obsessing about it, I may go insane! Read More

If you're Jewish, odds are that you've received at least one if not several e-mails by now from concerned friends and family members containing what appear to be legitimate pieces of commentary suggesting that Barack Obama is anti-semitic and/or anti-Israel. Often, the person sending the mail received it from a trusted friend who, in turn, received it from a trusted friend. Invariably, these arrive with a simple note of concern such as, "do you think this is true?"

Some of the e-mails are clearly ridiculous, littered with innuendo (did you know Barack's middle name is "Hussein"!) and easily debunked assertions (you mean he's not really a Muslim??!!). Others, some of which are taken from the editorial pages of major newspapers, give an appearance of credibility. Closer examination shows a subtler but equally insidious form of innuendo.
