Obama: Arab-American Families Being Rounded Up?

John McCain will beat this guy...just watch...

From your lips to God's ears. I'm afraid that the stupid, uninformed American Electorate are so taken by his charisma and oratory that they will elect this guy and if they do, TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, THE PARTY'S OVER.

[piytar]

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! An inept Islamist at that - showed his cards way too early.

This is te year of the Manchurian candidates: Obama is running as an American Christian, but is really an Islamist. Hillary is running as an American Democrat, but is really a, well, Chinese Manchurian socialist. And McCain is running as an American Republican, but is really an American Democrat.

The last choice is bad, but at least its American...

[smoothsailing]

It is a good read. BO is a natural liar, it's nothing to him. In Islam the practice is known as Taqiyya.

BTTT

[ctdonath2]

He mentions it because it is an easily-internalized outrageous notion. That he said it will be presumptive evidence to many that it did/is/will happen, at which point those many will demand something be done about it, and put him in power to do so.

[dennisw]

Islamist to the core, whether he claims to be Christian or not.

The day I see his baptismal certificate is the day I believe Obama is Christian. Even then I will demand verification  authentication on the baptism

Until then Obama was born Muslim and is Muslim and took Koran classes is Arabic in Indonesia which was not that common.

Is the author saying that Aran-Americans weren’t “rounded up?” Cuz after 9/11 plenty (like 5,000 IIRC) of persons were detained for questioning - some just because of their skin tone.

"If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work." - Senator Barack Obama

The trouble with hypotheticals is that all kinds of hateful things are possible under the cloak of rhetorical protection:

If there is a stealth radical muslim, one of millions who daily threaten to destroy us, whose first name is "bearer of muhamed (buraq)" and whose middle name honors a murderous dictator hanged for crimes against humanity (Hussein), and he is running for president of the United States of America, it doesn't take much intellectual horsepower to see that it is a profound contradiction, and the certain road to oblivion.

I personally feel totally dedicated to the task of unmasking him, and making sure that his ilk is eradicated from the face of the earth.

The trouble with the word "if" is that anything that immediately follows can almost always be assumed to be false.

Cute weasel statement. Are you running for president too?

Name one. Just one such "family".
But of course, do not include all those who were here illegaly; who were here ostensibly to attend school, but never went to classes; who spent their time here as "guests" recruiting for terrorism camps, of collecting funds to aid foreign (or domestic) terrorists...

Just give us the name of one family, who doesn't fall into one of those categories.

Obama: Arab-American Families Being Rounded Up?

Not yet, but keep talking Mr. Obama.

[endthematrix]

You can’t recall the sweeps after 9/11?

Many were detained and released and some were deported for immigration violations. Why the shock at ethnic profiling?

[endthematrix]

There were almost 1000 IIRC who were deported on immigration violations. One IIIC, was a cabbie that a NY cop just walked up to and started to question him after the attack.

There was a hotel in Boston that was raided and the detainees released and I recall that plane passengers were detained in NYC that were released.

There may have been lawsuits, I don’t know - or care.

[smoothsailing]

It did happen, and it should have at the time. I don't think that's relevent to the author's point.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The government is not rounding up and expelling people who have overwhelmingly admitted that they favor terrorism, and who prove it by their donations to terrorist-front causes, and who sponsor dens of hate and indoctrination, and who hate this country.

[JCG]

This was an astonishing statement, an infuriating statement and a statement that speaks volumes to Obama's ideology.

Yes, I've wondered about B. Hussein's ideology ever since I read this:

 

Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

The bleak fantasy of Arab-American families interned for being Arabs and, of course, for being Muslim is very plausible to the radicals that help write his speeches.

And, it must be noted, something that is greatly desired by certain FReepers, as well.

Even given the unlikelihood of the event, Obama and his speechwriters at least have the advantage of being against it.

What excuse do our FReeper friends offer for what they recommend?

[smoothsailing]

I read some of your posts at your website, you offer a fresh insight that I found interesting. Thanks. BTW, That Rick Moran comes across as a POS, something I've noticed before. American Thinker would be wise to dump him.

[Publius6961]

I remember all of those nameless people committed acts of terrorism, too, IIRC.

You muslims don't believe in names? Or do you just assume they are all named "mohamed?"

[pabianice]

WTF? Has he lost his mind?
