Rev. Austin Miles has published yet another brilliant column for Renew America, this time alleging that President Obama has no past girl friends (sic) (even though there are photos on the internet showing him with many BOY friends), and therefore must be promptly removed from office.
When did he meet Michele (sic) and how? Are there photos? Every president provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada other than what was in this so-called biography!, he writes.
He also relies heavily on Wayne Allyn Roots conspiracy theory that Obama never attended classes at Columbia University and was simultaneously indoctrinated in radical socialism while attending classes at Columbia University.
WHERE ARE THE OBAMA GIRLFRIENDS?
Think about this and see if there's anything here you don't believe!
I hadn't thought about this but where are Obama's past girlfriends surely he had at least one? No past girl friends (sic) popping up anywhere? Strange strange to the point of being downright weird!
...
This is one of the biggest frauds ever conceived and executed. The other was the first cross-dresser in the Vatican, a woman, Joanna, who posed as a man, studied for the priesthood and managed to serve as Pope Johannes Anglicus in the 9th Century. Exposed when she prematurely gave birth during a processional, she was stoned to death.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SERGEANT AT ARMS. GET SOME BACKBONE AND ESCORT OBAMA OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY! This is for your sake, our sake, and the sake of America. Perhaps "Pope Johannes" should be remembered.

Was he drunk or high on meth when he wrote this? Also, the legend of Pope Joan, that's what this is comparable to? Who thinks stoning a mother who just gave birth (And what he didn't say, also the baby she gave birth to) is an acceptable method of dispensing justice... Ever?

(17,863 posts)I had no old girlfriends either. A few dates before I met the woman who would become my wife, but no girlfriends.
Also maybe he was smart about his dating, and whoever he went out with practiced kiss don't tell. Not everyone wants to put their personal life out for public examination.

Vanity Fair on Wednesday published an excerpt of "Barack Obama: The Story," the biography by Washington Post reporter David Maraniss that Simon & Schuster will publish next month. (Simon & Schuster Inc. is owned by CBS Corporation, the parent company of CBS News and CBSNews.com.) The book details Mr. Obama's relationships with Alex McNear and Genevieve Cook, women he dated in his early 20s.

(28,979 posts)He looks like he was a popular kid. What is the author of that hitpiece trying to imply? Does he believe Obama is a cyborg built in a laboratory with no past? Or is he implying Obama is gay? That Michelle and the girls are a cover? WT holy F? One has to climb up through one's a*hole to put ideas like that into one's head.
the Sid D. emoticon is the only logical response in this case.

FFS. Find a reason to criticize the man on ISSUES not "He hasn't slept with enough women."

Also, he has been known to wear a tan suit.
And he eats and breathes.
So I guess he needs to be impeached.

(16,191 posts)Lol! Wasn't that myth debunked around 500 years ago? The origin of the myth has been lost to history, but it probably either started as an anti-Catholic fable (aka "The dumb Catholics even elected a woman Pope once!" , or more likely began as a tale about Pope John the 12th, who is generally considered to be the most "evil" of Popes. The guy was a prince before becoming Pope, and had ordered murders, committed incest with his sister, and kept a small harem of mistresses at the Vatican. The head mistress was a woman named Joan, who he apparently actually did care for, allowing her to exercise a great deal of influence. Over several hundred years, the stories about her probably grew into the stories about "Pope Joan".
The fact that this nitwit considers fiction to be fact, when both Reformation and Catholic theologians clearly recognized it as fiction a HALF MILLENNIA ago, pretty much sums up his grasp on reality.

(16,191 posts)The Reformation didn't just spring up out of thin air. While the Catholic Church had a pretty solid lock on Europes leadership, criticisms of the church and its structure have existed nearly as long as the church itself, from both the meek and the powerful. These criticisms weren't delivered in speeches or from thrones, but weren't uncommon over dinner tables.
One also has to remember that Europe also had a sizeable non-Christian population as late as the 1700's. Lithuania, the last non-Christian nation, didn't convert until the 1400's. Early Lutheran and other protestant missionaries were still complaining about whole villages following pagan beliefs across Germany and Eastern Europe well into the 17th and 18th centuries. The last Prussian pagan high priest didn't die until the turn of the 20th century.
There were a LOT of people willing to poke fun at the Catholic hierarchy prior to 1500.
