Frank Gaffney claims Obama ‘may actually still be’ a Muslim.

[sarah553807]

Today in his Washington Times column, right-wing commentator Frank Gaffney reviews President Obama’s speech at Cairo University last week and thinks he has stumbled onto something, that “there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself.” The evidence? “Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to ‘the Holy Koran,’” he “established his firsthand knowledge of Islam,” and he uttered the phrase “peace be upon them” when referring to Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. And according to Gaffney, “no believing Christian” would ever make such a statement because “for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God.” Gaffney also throws in a Munich analogy:

The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich.

And this is why people in the arab world dislike us so much,becuase of people like this bigot

1. I was thrilled beyond measure when he made the islamic greeting

at the cairo speech. Because I knew it would send the RWs into a tailspin, and it has! :rofl:

[Solomon]

24. It was doubleplusgood because I knew it would affect the Muslim

world as well. Sheer brilliance. When you think about, not only Muslims, but all non-christians as well.

2. Frank Gaffney is a friggin' Project For A New American Century STOOGE

He has blood on his hands.

[Clio the Leo]

6. I realize I am preaching to the choir here, however...

.... since I dont have Mr. Gaffney's email...

"And as they spake these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." Luke 24:36


"When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." John 20:19

"Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you." John 20:21

I'm startig to suspect that Mr. Gaffney was never really a Christian.

9. Actually, he might be Jewish

Gaffney, that is. Not Obama. Or at least he writes for the "Jewish World Review" and associates with other members of the Likudist extreme right.

If that's the case, I might excuse him for not being an expert on the New Testament, but I'll bet he gets the Old Testament wrong just as often.

[Clio the Leo]

11. Then let me humbly suggest.....

..... that he not tell Christians how to behave or not to behave in regard to their faith. ;)

"And according to Gaffney, “no believing Christian” would ever make such a statement because “for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God."

7. Keep barking, crazy man. The indies are listening. n/t

[create.peace]

19. just read a thread about a phone call you got during the campaign!

don't you think they would stop this shit? i know, different 'party' same mentality.

(hi! this is enough from old sc days)

[AtomicKitten]

27. You'd think some of them would have caught on that that rhetoric is toxic

and people just aren't buying it. I can't believe they keep dragging that old chestnut out for a spin.

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

8. BlooInBloo claims Gaffney may still be a goat-fucker.

[vaberella]

10. Ha. n/t

[Posteritatis]

13. Pft, like they'd say yes to him. (nt)

[BlooInBloo]

18. Good point...

[damonm]

22. Absolutely untrue...

Gaffney is a Goat-BLOWER. Geez, get it right, wouldja?!?

B-)

[Teaser]

26. I bet he wants to legalize goat marriage

.

[FVZA_Colonel]

12. If he's supposed to be a "Secret Muslim"... then why do "they" hate us?

I mean, if he was a "Secret Muslim," wouldn't "they" give us a bit of a break?

[DCBob]

14. These loser right-wing idiots are showing their desperation.

This non-sense will only resonate with the hard-core right and disgust the rest of the electorate.

[Puzzler]

15. Rule number one for true Americans in Gaffney's eyes...

... do not learn anything about other cultures, and if you do, don't let on, otherwise people will think you're some kind of a commie-muslim.

[Puzzler]

16. Puzzler claims that Gaffney may "actually be an idiot"

[jberryhill]

17. I Figured Out What Mr. Obama REALLY Is...

President of the United States of America.

[Phx_Dem]

20. And Frank Gaffney could be related to the Holocaust shooter.

Who knows? I have as much proof of that as Gaffney does about Obama being a muslim.

[BlueMTexpat]

21. And so what if he were ... ? n/t

[kiranon]

23. Mr. Gaffney actually may prove the case against intelligent design

by his very existence. Amazing. Further research actually may be necessary. Sarcasm alert.

[spanone]
