Bleach his skin like Michael Jackson? Change his name to something like John Walker McBush? Become a Republican?

8. Obama has to go on Satrurday Night Live or Colbert Report and eat pork.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 10:35 AM by IanDB1
I mean, someone has to cart out a huge pig on a spit with an apple in its mouth and carve pieces off the pig for Obama to eat.

That should do it.

Also, Muslims aren't allowed to pee in the direction of Mecca.

If he pees at a urinal facing East, that would prove he's not a Muslim.

Plus, there is a small minority of the population who wants to see him pee anyway.

9. I don't know but in Ohio we are getting a robo call from the Rethug nationals
that says that Obama associated with domestic terrorist RA. It goes on and on and finishes with the leftest Dems taking over DC. I have it on my answering machine and it is disgusting. Don't need to be Muslim when you are a domestic terrorist. Peace, Kim

10. I met one of these people in McDonald's the other...
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 10:36 AM by TwoSparkles
...night, when my husband and I were there with our two children.

I expressed the same outrage and desire to change these people.

My husband's response, although hard to hear, was probably the truth. There's no changing
these people. Seriously.

The guy we met had only a high school education and he worked in a repair shop with four other people
who listen to right-wing radio all day long.

This man at McDonald's said Obama was a terrorist. I actually made some inroads with him. Ultimately, though--
if someone is that ignorant, and so far gone--there is really nothing that can be done.

When I said to him, "Obama is a terrorist? You actually believe that he's the type of person who will
strap a bomb to himself and blow up an Applebee's? That's really what you think?" he backed off a bit.

Limbaugh makes these types feel wise and in-the-know. As long as their wisdom is packed in their heads,
they can walk around feeling superior. These types don't want to give up that.

I don't have any answers. I wish I did.

14. Jesus H Christ himself could come down from heaven and endorse Obama

15. Run the country for eight years without trying to convert a single person to Islam...
...or enacting pro-burqua legislation or bombing Israel?

I know, I know, even that wouldn't convince the most rabid of the crazies.

It just sounds better to say they dislike him for his religion than for the real reason.

21. Nothing and he should not even try. They overplayed it already and it has backfired.
SNL did a number on the "crazy lady at the McCain Rally" and anyone screaming "He's a Muslim" now is going to be roundly ridiculed.

23. Let's see ...

Truman got the United States in the Cold War.

Truman saved West Berlin with the Berlin air-lift.

Truman went into Korea, the first of two "hot" wars we fought during the Cold War. Republicans opposed that move.

JFK made Kruschev blink during the missle crisis.

JFK went to Berlin to spit in Russia's eye (at the time all those rightwing national security experts thought the commies would kill or capture an American president foolish enough to let himself be surrounded by communist forces).

JFK and LBJ got us into Vietnam, the only other "hot" war we fought during the Cold War.

Nixon got us out of Vietnam. Ford did nothing while North Vietnam conquered South Vietnam.

Carter sent in the US Marines to create South Yemen when communist regimes took control of all approaches to the southern entrance to the Red Sea.

Reagan tried to stop the spread of capitalism to the Soviet Union (apparently having forgot why we were fighting the Soviet Union).


Yet, Truman, JFK, LBJ and Carter are "commies" while Nixon, Ford and Reagan are the brave defenders of freedom!


Bottom line: Obama could nuke Mecca, and it would not make any difference. As an upthread poster said, "you can't fix stupid."

26. The people that believe that just obviously aren't willing to listen to reason
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 04:29 AM by fujiyama
It doesn't matter that Obama's dad LEFT Islam and became an atheist.

or...

that his dad left him when he was just a year or two old. Obama met him ONCE later on.

or...

that Obama was raised by white Christians...

or...

that Obama is an ACTIVELY PRACTICALLY CHRISTIAN!

WTF!? Some some are just fucking stupid. Nothing you can do about that.

27. Nothing. They don't WANT to change their minds
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 05:10 AM by CakeGrrl
Look at the woman who was told to her face by McCain himself that Obama was not an Arab.

After that, she told a reporter that McCain really knew the truth but couldn't say it. You talk yourself into whatever you want to believe.

:eyes:

The only antidote is GOTV.
