PROPAGANDA: Is the National Jewish Democratic Council cristophobic?

Obama challenged to reject nominal Jewish organization's support ...
There is no place in modern politics for any organization that uses racial, ethnic, religious, or misogynist hate to advance its agenda.

We therefore call upon the Obama campaign to reject the support of the National Jewish Democratic Council, whose “Bubbie versus the GOP” video ... portrays Jesus, Christian ministers, and the Cross in a “This is the Enemy” context.

NJDC has also provided derogatory misinformation about the Christian computer game “Left Behind: Eternal Forces,” and it has used its nominally Jewish identity to whitewash anti-Semitic hate speech from MoveOn.org.

Now NJDC is circulating a petition to condemn John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as a running mate. Even though we do not share Palin’s belief in Jesus, it is our obligation to condemn NJDC’s anti-Christian hate propaganda under color of Judaism as strongly as we expect decent Christians to condemn anti-Semitic hate speech under color of Christianity.

The National Jewish Democratic Council’s “Bubbie versus the GOP” ... is still available as of September 1 2008. “Bubbie versus the GOP” really seems to be “Bubbie versus Christians, Jesus, and the Cross,” because it portrays all of them in a “This is the Enemy” context.
Maybe NJDC’s real problem with Sarah Palin is that she believes that Jesus is her Savior, even though Barack Obama shares this belief–but left-wing Democrats get a pass from NJDC.
The materials referenced above are from the 2004 presidential election and are seriously outdated ... but the fact they are old doesn't mitigate their cristophobic nature, especially in light of the NJDC's current anti-Palin efforts.
