the kindergarten quote was more about tying Obama to "Indonesia - islam" then about being President

[Reno.Muse]

That's been my spin from the minute I heard it. Sort of like a liberal slur in comparison to the repug Osama - Obama crap. Indonesia - Obama - Islam.

Don't believe me?

snip ...

Islam is Indonesia's dominant religion with approximately 88%, over 200 million, of its population identifying as Muslims, making it the most populous Muslim-majority nation in the world.

The Indonesian Central Statistic Bureau (BPS) conducts a census every 10 years. The latest data available, from 2000, drew on 201,241,999 survey responses; the BPS estimated that the census missed 4.6 million persons. The BPS report indicated that 88.22 percent (210 million in 2004) of the population label themselves Muslim, 5.87 percent Protestant, 3.05 percent Catholic, 1.81 percent Hindu, 0.84 percent Buddhist, and 0.2 percent "other," including traditional indigenous religions, other Christian groups, and Judaism. The country's religious composition remains a politically charged issue, and some Christians, Hindus, and members of other minority faiths argue that the census undercounted non-Muslims.

Most Muslims are Sunni, although some follow other branches of Islam, including the Shia, who number approximately 100,000 nationwide. In general the mainstream Muslim community belongs to two orientations: "modernists," who closely adhere to scriptural orthodox theology while embracing modern learning and modern concepts; and predominantly Javanese "traditionalists," who are often followers of charismatic religious scholars and organized around Islamic boarding schools.

1. wow. That's reaching.

Obama is the one who first brought up the fact that his foreign relations skills were top-notch because of his childhood in Indonesia.

Your jedi skills are weak.

[Windy]

5. Its not weak. Most American's don't pay attention and still believe that Obama

was schooled in a terrorist madrasa. This little bit of "fun" was an attempt to remind the electorate of this unfounded bit of right wing propaganda.

2. Look for that line of attack to sharpen.

The inevitability meme has been shattered some folks are getting cranky.

4. I don't have to prove my own reaction when I first heard "kindergarten teacher in Indonesia"

I hear Indonesia and I know the majority of people there are muslim. And my next thought was "here we go again."

I've been a member of the media and on the buying side of the media. Do you know know about subliminal advertising?

Don't you know that about Indonesians? This is so KKKarl Rove of her staffers. It's all about spin, obvious or subliminal. Taking us back to the "Osama is a muslim" crap that spewed out of Faux News, Hillary's friends.

Did you not know that Hillary's people were knee deep in the stupid Nevada Dem Party's failed attempt to have a Faux News debate? Guess what was going on at the time in the campaign? Osama, Obama, muslim school when he was little - bullshit.
