12. The problem is that many of the people who pass this meme around are not members
of the reality-based community. It does not matter to some how long Obama has attended a Christian church, or how many times he says he is a Christian, or even how many times John McCain says it. Some people want to hate and they will find a rationalization, even if they have to make up a completely counterfactual one.

It may not help, but it's a try.

Really, even if he was, I am smart enough to know that Muslims do not all blow shit up.

Let's remember that nutcase Christians were bombing abortion clinics back in the day.

33. Is John McCain A Manchurain Candidate?
Because Im sure the techniques his captors employed for gaining intel, and also for brainwashing were just as effective as those used at Abu Ghraib.

27. well now...there's something weird......
Edited on Sat May-24-08 07:44 PM by stillcool47
of course..the source for this is the Washington Times, so...who knows?..but it appears that the Moonie Times were the first one's to report it..according to CNN. Crazy.
Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its Web site last week that associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, had unearthed information the Illinois Democrat and likely presidential candidate attended a Muslim religious school known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam.
-----------------
Insight attributed the information in its article to an unnamed source, who said it was discovered by "researchers connected to Senator Clinton." A spokesman for Clinton, who is also weighing a White House bid, denied that the campaign was the source of the Obama claim.

He called the story "an obvious right-wing hit job."

Insight stood by its story in a response posted on its Web site Monday afternoon.

.....coupled with this story makes it all very interesting, doesn't it?......

Third Clinton Volunteer Knew Of Smear E-Mail

A third volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign was aware of a propaganda e-mail alleging that Barack Obama is a Muslim who plans on "destroying the U.S. from the inside out. "Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," the email reads. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."

Two Clinton volunteers, Linda Olson and Judy Rose, have already been asked to resign from the campaign for their roles in forwarding the e-mail. The AP reported yesterday that Olson, a volunteer coordinator in Iowa County, sent a version of the e-mail to 11 people, including Ben Young, a regional field director for Chris Dodd's campaign. Young passed it on to the AP.

Kerrey Apologizes to Obama Over Remark
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=4031436
Kerrey's mention of Obama's middle name and his Muslim roots raised eyebrows because they are also used as part of a smear campaign on the Internet that falsely suggests Obama is a Muslim who wants to bring jihad to the United States.
Obama is a Christian.
The Clinton campaign has already fired two volunteer county coordinators in Iowa for forwarding hoax e-mails with the debunked claim. Last week, a national Clinton campaign co-chairman resigned for raising questions about whether Obama's teenage drug use could be used against him, so Kerrey's comments raised questions about whether the Clinton campaign might be using another high-profile surrogate to smear Obama.

30. Keith Ellison from my state is a Muslim.
And one awesome U.S. Congressman. Come to think of it, he introduced Obama at the rally in Minneapolis. And with all of the guilt by association, clearly this makes Obama a Muslim (as well as the 20,000 people who attended the rally.)

There are a lot of "stuck on stupid" people out their who believe Obama was sworn into the Senate on a Koran when, in fact, it was Keith Ellison who used Thomas Jefferson's Koran when he was ceremonially sworn into the U.S. Congress. But you would expect half-wits to get things half-right.

Keith Ellison is one of the most compassionate, kindest and funniest people around. I'm sure Obama doesn't mind being confused with him at all. Even if Obama was a Muslim, it wouldn't make any difference.

With Ellison's sense of humor, I would love to see him do a campaign commercial for Obama teasing him for not using a Koran when he was sworn in just to emphasize that he was the one sworn in on a Koran and to give Obama a chance to reaffirm that he is a Christian not a Muslim. This would make the emails claiming he is a Muslim look as idiotic as they are.

31. Just so long as we keep asking the question.
(Why?)
(Who cares if he was/ is?)

Personally I think he should have stuck to his roots and the legacy of his mother and stayed an atheist. No pastors. No religiosity in the mentors.

35. I did.
And I repeat - who cares?

I would prefer an atheist. These religious political folks give me the creeps.
