Reply #27: I really wish that Obama's supporters would stop [View All]

[Lyric]

equating "Muslim" with "slur".

And if during Joe Lieberman's campaign, the GOP circulated a photo of him in tallis and yarmulkah, that would also have been fine on the grounds that there is nothing "divisive" about a photo showing "him wearing traditional Jewish clothing." Or JFK clutching rosary beads. (The Obama slur is even worse. Obama is not a Muslim while Lieberman is a Jew and JFK a Catholic).

Being mistakenly called a Muslim is not a slur. Muslim is NOT a bad word used to describe evil people. The only people who think that Muslim equals Evil are people who probably aren't in the Democratic Party anyway, and even if they ARE, they shouldn't be. We don't cater to racist, xenophobic pigs. We're Democrats. If some assholes want to bolt the party because of a picture of Obama in a turban, good fucking riddance to them. As for the ones who will vote Repub in the general--do you really think a photo is going to make a difference? People who trust Obama will believe him when he says his religion is not Islam. People who don't trust Obama weren't going to vote for him anyway.

God, get a grip. Some of these comments are getting downright xenophobic.
