"My mother may have raised me as an athiest, but I'm now a devout Christian. What? You don't believe me....?"

COLUMBIA, S.C. –For over a year, largely out of the media glare, Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign has been fighting a determined, low-intensity conflict against the viral e-mail that forwards the myth that Obama is a crypto-Muslim Manchurian candidate.
...The e-mails aren’t a well-funded, faux-grassroots smear like the attacks on John Kerry's war record.
Instead, most observers believe, it's a largely organic expression of a dark place in the American consciousness. And the campaign is aware it is operating in a changed media landscape in which a powerful, false idea can spread deep into the American psyche, almost entirely under the radar of the mainstream media and with no authoritative broadcast voice to put it to rest.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Obama is not a Muslim and, even if he were, it would not disqualify him from office. The TRUTH about him is far more damaging.
(1) Obama is not a Muslim, he is a member of an arguably racist church whose pastor, Jeremiah Wright, said "white America" got a "wake up call" on 9/11, and other things.
(2) Obama misused his own church's 501(c)(3) tax exempt resources by giving a speech with substantial campaign-related content. This is a matter of record in the speech that is hosted at the United Church of Christ's own Web site. Spread the word that Obama abused tax-exempt resources to support his political campaign, and has apparently gotten his church into trouble with the IRS as a result (again per UCC's Web site). http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=343 for details.
(3) Obama refused to "reject" the support of the prominent racist, Catholic-hater, and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan until Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton backed him into a corner.
(4) Obama endorsed and promoted Al Sharpton and his National Action Network, both of which have racist and anti-Semitic records. Just Google on "Freddy's Fashion Mart" and "Sharpton" for but one example.
(5) Obama solicited and obtained the endorsement of MoveOn.org, which also has a record of promoting anti-Semitism, hatred of Catholics, and 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Let's bring this phony smile on top of an empty suit down honorably and fairly, by circulating the truth about him through E-mails as described in the referenced article. When the Elephant crushes him in an electoral landslide, we can tell ourselves that we played a clean game and beat Obama, not with "smears" or "swiftboating," but with truth and honor.
Oh please. Obama's (and the Democrat Party's) unremitting exploitation of envy and hatred in the electorate comes from a far, far worse place.
Ha ha ha ha. Was that supposed to be funny?
If he's not then he's a reasonable facsimile of one. His proposed policies would have the same effect.
Hello, we would like to ask if you would mind participating in our opinion poll by answering a few brief questions.
1. Does it bother you that Obama is a muslim?
2. Are you impressed by Hillary Clinton’s grasp of this issues and intelect?
3. If you had to vote today, would you vote for an old angry man, a smooth talker with no public record or an experienced woman with 35 years of experience?
...and no one knows where this information is coming from.

"My mother may have raised me as an athiest, but I'm now a devout Christian. What? You don't believe me....?"
His campaign is alot more worried about Larry Sinclair than this.

“1. Does it bother you that Obama is a muslim?”
No, it bothers me that he is a Soros-backed fraud who promotes and endorses racists, anti-Semites, and Catholic-haters.
“2. Are you impressed by Hillary Clinton’s grasp of this issues and intelect?”
It impresses me about as much as Bill Clinton’s honesty and marital fidelity, and other nonexistent things.
“3. If you had to vote today, would you vote for an old angry man, a smooth talker with no public record or an experienced woman with 35 years of experience?”
I would vote for the one who was NOT Hillary Clinton (who also endorsed Sharpton) or Barack Obama.
In 24 business hours, John Kerry's war record will be unsealed so the public can finally take a look at his sterling accomplishments... What? It's true, I read it on TruthOut - didn't Fitzmas happen?
I remember when journalists reported facts, not opinions.
The refusal to admit the truth continues...
By the way, shortly before the “demise” of the Romney campaign, Andrew McCarthy joined with him. I was a Fred Thompson supporter, but I was glad to see Romney was paying attention with the addition of McCarthy.
McCain’s terminology in re: Islamic jihad is lacking, which leads me to believe that he is of the mind that Islam has been hijacked, rather than that something is intrinsically wrong with Islam itself. McCain may want to marginalize those of us who are questioning Islam, but consider the fact that Turkey is considering reform (at least as far as the hadiths). That would not have taken place if not for those of us who are putting pressure on Islam itself.
In that light, we are right in questioning Obama’s links - whether it is his brother Roy, or his cousin Odinga, etc.
>If he’s not then he’s a reasonable facsimile of one. His proposed policies would have the same effect.

Thank you. Beat me to it.
The whole Muslim world is itching to have this guy be president. I wonder why?????!!!!
Didn’t he fail the polygraph? Why would they care about him anymore?
What is wrong with hating Catholics?
/OBVIOUS SARCASM!!!!!
I do not hate Catholics, and as a Protestant I take attacks on the Catholics as an attack on Christians.
Obama solicited and obtained the endorsement of MoveOn.org, which also has a record of promoting anti-Semitism, hatred of Catholics, and 9/11 conspiracy theories.
after all.....he is b. HUSSEIN!!!!!!!
You need to understand the meaning of so called "swiftboating" before you use it so carelessly. Those of us who were involved with bringing the truth to the American public take exception to your insinuation that it was a smear or dishonorable. You need to apologize!
“The whole Muslim world is itching to have this guy be president.”
Source?
If he is not a muslime, he does seem to have a level of comfort with muslimes and islam which is not appropriate for the a man running for President of a country that radical islam is at war with. And if the rumors that he is a muslime represent exaggerations or outright falsehoods, then cry me a river — Republicans have been putting up with rumors, innuendoes, and outright lies for years — not just on the internet, but on the evening news. Just remember the NAACP ads about Jasper TX, Dan Rather and the TX Air National Guard, and the slanderous stories about Katrina.
He is a Muslim sympathizer at the very least.
I wonder if after Obama wins this nomination, the Dems wont pull the same trick they pulled in New Jersy when Torrecelli was losing in the polls so they yanked him and threw in a new candidate at the end.
A “smear” is something one puts on a bagel.
alot more to the story than that.
Spare me this crap!
Only Democrats use "swiftboating" as a negative. "Swiftboating" Kerry was telling the truth about him.
He still did NOT reject the support of Louis Farrakhan. In the debate the other night, Obama merely rejected the Anti-Jewish statements made by Farrakhan.
Big Difference. If Hillary were smart, she would continue to hammer away at Obama's relationship to Farrakhan, because the Republicans certainly will in the Fall.
Obama may not be a Muslim now. Notice he stated he’s been a member of the Christian Church for 20 years. No mention of his childhood or where he lived and where he worshipped as a child. I have read that he attended a Catholic school in Indonesia where he was registered as a Muslim. And, also that during that phase of his life, he attended Friday prayers at a mosque with his step-father.
I do not blame him for not shouting our his conversion (if he’s truly a Christian now), because it would make him a target of a fatwah against him by the most radical islamists. Still, how can we trust a man who does not come clean, in order to halt these whispers about him? For one thing, most Christians “put on the new mantel of Christ” in that they choose a Christian name to indicate to the world that they are Christians. [Note: Bobby Jindal took a Christian name when he converted!] Barack H. Obama still clings to his Muslim names. Yet, he does not want anyone to actually call him by his complete name. He says it’s bigotry to do so. He’s being two-faced.
So, however can he be surprised that many people wonder at his true religious alliegiance, and also at his honesty?
"Swiftboating" is telling the truth and defending the honor of those who were "smeared" by John F'n Kerry.
Down is down.
The Feds weren’t picky about Capone.
For the record- he’s Muslim enough for me(by heritage if not by practice) to make him sympathetic toward the enemy of the world-Islam.
He’s touchy about his middle name because he knows it screams ‘Islamic’. So why not change it, hmmm? He should want the White House more than a middle name,right? But he’s proud of it! He wants to be a Muslim named President.
And that pride in his Islamic blood is enough for me to say ‘Hell no!’
Any and every weapon should be used against him- and if he reacts to the Islamic name and what it represents, then THAT’S one that will get the job done.
I thought he Politico was conservative. I guess not.
Which is why we focus on his policies and not what we might think his motivations are.
Absolute Proof!
Sorry ‘bout that. But we have seen the picture and we know his name. And he says publicly that, if he had had his way, namesake Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Iraq. He wants to open the gates and release the terrorists from Guantanamo. He opposes monitoring terrorist communications—he was one of the few Senators to join Pelosi and the Democrat House in opposing FISA. He has received the open support of 80 terrorist defense lawyers. What are we to think? Sure looks like the Enemy Within to me.
I agree. Hey, everybody goes through their "Sinatra phase".
“You need to understand the meaning of so called “swiftboating” before you use it so carelessly. Those of us who were involved with bringing the truth to the American public take exception to your insinuation that it was a smear or dishonorable. You need to apologize!”
You’re right; what the Swiftboat Veterans said against Kerry was TRUE. In fact, what Genghis John the Khan said about himself (war criminal) was even worse.
” “Swiftboating” is telling the truth and defending the honor of those who were “smeared” by John F’n Kerry.” You’re right; Genghis John the Khan couldn’t even remember whether he threw his medals away, or those of another man.

Barack Obama and the Muslim call to prayer
On this day in 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.” In an interview with The New York Times, Senator Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “
Does this scare anyone else?????

Googling “obama muslim popularity” got me this:
http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/02/islams-battle-for-white-house.html
To say that Obama is popular among Muslims in Southeast Asia would be an understatement. Almost all Indonesians see Barack Hussein Obama as one of their brethren. His childhood in Indonesia, his Muslim heritage, his Muslim name, his black hair and brown eyes, his opposition to the War in Iraq and his sympathy towards the cause of Muslims around the world convinces Indonesians that Obama is one of their own. For Indonesians it is simple, if he walks like a Muslim and talks like a Muslim, then he is a Muslim.
I have not even begun to fight^H^H^H^H^Hlook.
I am of the considered opinion obama made a clear decision to accept his ethnic arab muslim heritage when he took up his muslim-arab name:
http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html
he didn’t need to convert to anything at that ‘church’ be maintains he belongs to:
http://www.sonsofapesandpigs.org/2008/02/press-release-america-is-being.html
“YES, MUSLIMS ARE MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” “WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH WHO ARE MUSLIMS.”
Thanks, but that’s not a news source, just somebody’s blog.
And I can tell you that - yes the muslim world is itching to have this guy be president.
bttt
You’re the somebody.
Small world.
