Barack Obama sets up internet 'war room' to fight slurs

Times of London ^ | 6/9/08 | Tim Reid

A crack team of cybernauts will form a rapid response internet “war room” to track and respond aggressively to online rumours that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim.

As he gears up for his general election fight against John McCain, Mr Obama and his chief advisers are aware of the danger of such rumours, amid polling data showing that a significant number of Americans believe he is a Muslim or are suspicious about his background. Such doubts were a factor in his poor showing with white, blue-collar voters during his primary battle with Hillary Clinton.

In recent days Mr Obama has — unprompted — brought up the subject of the chain e-mails and blog sites making the false claims. Some state that he is a radical Muslim who was sworn in as a US senator on the Koran; others that he sympathises with Palestinian radicals. Many focus on his middle name of Hussein, which was taken from his Kenyan father.

Referring to the e-mails in a speech last week to AIPAC, the powerful Jewish lobby, Mr Obama said: “They are filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for president and all I want to say is, ‘Let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama because he sounds pretty scary’.”

I've seen lots of new "Freepers" recently signing on... Naw... it wouldn't be Obama-ites.

Abbreviated Viking Kitten PING!

This tells me that we can expect a significant increase in trolls on the wire in the coming months, as the Left considers FR a “blog” and will no doubt target us for aggressive surveillance.

Says it all.

Barack Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim

I have to dispute that. Barack Obama is very patriotic to all 57 Arab states.

[absolootezer0]

its quite easy for him to prove he’s not a muslim and can at least show some patriotism.

he just needs to get out on the 4th, lead the pledge, sing the star spangled banner, eat some ribs, maybe a bacon burger, and throw back a couple beers.

[roses of sharon]

New freepers, and old ones, (disguised Hillaryhaters), who now don't have any cover.

I wonder why they are allowed to stick around.

143 Days of Experience

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.

Think about IT!!!

Obama’s Internet Campaign Crimes War Room ping

[moose2004]

You’re exactly right, I’ve noticed multiple new names spewing nothing but gloom and despair about McCain and Repubs in general. They’re careful not to praise Obama, their goal is to depress Repub votes and motivation. Hey you idiots out there, you don’t us have fooled, ZOT!!!

[CarryingOn]

At least there's one bit of truth. Pinning on an American flag was not Obama’s idea. Just like “breaking” with his church and his Uncle mentor, that wasn't his idea either.
