US joins Canada and Israel in boycotting farcical Durban 3
The United States yesterday announced it would not attend the ironically-named United Nations World Conference Against Racism. The previous two conferences, nicknamed `Durban,`after the site of the original one ten years ago, have been marred by displays of overt anti-Semitism and rabid anti-American rhetoric.
Canada was the first country to announce it would not attend, followed by Israel. Eighteen US Senators, both Republicans and Democrats, had urged the Obama administration to follow Canada`s lead and boycott the 2011 version of the conference. In a letter to New York Senator Kirsten Gilibrand, the US State Department, citing `ugly displays of intolerance and anti-Semitism`in the Durban process, announced it would not participate in the event to be held in New York on September 21, 2011.

It's almost beyond belief that Comrade Obama didn't go along with the anti-Semites.
Wow, what what morons. The Swastika is all wrong. If you are gonna get all uppity and protest-y vs Israel, at least get your symbols correct.
