Let’s hear Obama deny the Koran and denouncing radical Islam. He hasn’t done that. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing until he does.

I’m well aware of the Clinton attack machine. However, I would rather see Hillary in office instead of Obama if he doesn’t fess up to not being a muslim.

Following is text of the email I received about Obama, and is quite possibly of mention in this article and the one posted later above. This is for Freeper information only. I do not post this to slander, or otherwise intend to cause harm to anyone. I have edited out the sender information.

It is apparent in the reading of the email letter that it is from a prior date to B. Obama’s official announcement of his candidacy.


“Who is Barack Obama?

Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice. this is very scary to
think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States . We checked this out on “ snopes.com”.
It is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from
Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya .
His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.”

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.

Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school
in Jakarta .

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CH CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts,
Obama turns his back to the flag with his hands at his side.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States , one of their own!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?......NOT ME! “


This was followed by a pictorial with Obama, Hillary, Edwards, the American Flag, and more with some other notes, but I am not ‘puter savvy enough to post such, sorry.

Agreed, using the argument that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., is a closet Muslim and a disciple of Saul Alinsky, who refuses to speak the Pledge of Allegiance, may not be the best way within the Democratican party to try to defeat his candidacy.

But that may not be the same dynamic that drives a general election. Democratican nominees for any ofice are selected by a very small number of the party faithful, and are intensively sold on the open market. And therein lies the danger.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., is a much more attractive, better spoken, and obviously presents a much better public aspect than Herself, the Cold and Joyless. The former First Felons are in the political fight of their lives, trying to remain relevant.

And just about everything seems to to be fair within the rules by which they abide.

Oh my, I just had an insta-visual of the Hildabeast’s face if Obama had dropped that bomb in the debate the other day. Hilarious!

I received one of those E-mails a while back.

I’ve been saving it for after Obama trounces the Beast.

It’s just bullshit. I’m sorry you are getting sucked into it. He’s been going to the same Church for 20 years!! Maybe you are a Muslim despite going to your church every Sunday.

If we try to beat him using lies we deserve to lose.

Thank You!

Now lets see what great leader arises from the Republican swamp.

Far better to end up with Obama then Ms Rodham or lawyer Edwards.

Agreed. He is the best of the available Dems. As a loyal American first, and Republican second, I want the Dems to nominate the best person they have, as there is a good chance (particularly this year, given Bush’s two term incumbancy) that the individual they select will end up as POTUS. That is Obama.

Of course I would then like a good clean fight that contrasts Obama’s views and positions with our guys views and positions. If we can have that (and with Obama we can. With Hillary we will just be dealing with hysteria, lies, FBI-file blackmail and massive ad campaign paid for by the Red Chinese Army) we will win.

In winning a good clean fight with a wrong but honorable opponent we will advance the cause of conservatism.

Yes, Yes, YES!

We have no way of knowing just how any candidate is going to turn out.
Like a used car ,you never know for sure.
We want the best and I hope that would be a conservitve.
Remember Earl Warren.

Looking at how he works and who he surrounds himself with Obama is not as frightening as the other dems.

It would be great, wouldn’t it. And Obama should stop thinking that he’s got a shot on her ticket as VP. He doesn’t. So he should fight for the number one spot or he should go home with his tail between his legs.

Do you have any concern for the truth of the matter?

There’s a trashy Youtube video making very ugly charges against Obama. The local radio jock, Schnitt Show on WIOD, keeps playing this every hour or so.

OK Jack Black, Calm down please. I simply posted from my file an email I received from somebody that has been going around the internet. It is NOT SOMETHING I WROTE, or have any part instigating. This is a FOR YOUR INFORMATION (FYI)category posting, not something I personally believe, or for that matter would instigate.

There have been several articles posted with reference to internet emails, and I simply wanted to post this so Freepers could see precisely what the articles were referencing in case they were unaware of what the ruckus is all about.

I already received the memo concerning Obama being a muslim.

I hope that he wins the Democrat Party nomination. He will be much easier to defeat in the general elections.

You are missing the point: the memo (or chain email, as it is) is not true.

OK. I have not shared what I have with anyone so far.

BTW, I do not really care if it is true.

I just want to see someone besides Hillary or Barak (or Edwards) in the White House a year from now.
