It is not difficult to understand why Barack Obama has a fear of scarves.
In the 17 months he's been pursuing the presidency, the senator has faced a crude and shameless campaign from conservative pundits, GOP functionaries and assorted ignoramuses in the peanut gallery to prove him a secret Muslim -- a ''Manchurian candidate,'' as one put it -- trained from birth to subvert America from within and, I don't know, make us all eat falafels or something.
On about a half-second of intelligent reflection, the flaw in that theory is apparent: If unfriendly forces had indeed inserted a secret Muslim among us, said Muslim would have blonde hair, blue eyes, flag pins out the wazoo and a name like Joe Smith. Too bad intelligent reflection is a stranger to the people in question. With a grim fanaticism, they seize upon every perceived crumb of Obama's ''Muslim-ness'' to press their case, using everything from his middle name to his disdain for the cheap patriotism of the American flag lapel pin to a photo of him wearing native dress on a trip to Somalia.

Wow!
No bias in this sonuvabitch...
Someone should ask him to explain all the Muslim history and Muslim background in Obama’s life and book.
Which one of these is not muzzie?
Barak Hussein Mohammed Obama
That’s not the falafel I knew...
Barak has a brother named Malik who IS a professed Muslim and says his brother was raised a Muslim.
And in the Muslim world, once a Muslim, always a muslim, or they become an infidel and are sentenced to death.
One cannot just walk away from the muslim cult without being severely reprimanded.
Well imagine that...a biased leftist on the Miami Herald. Who woulda thunk it!





Obama is just John Kerry with Big Ears.
When liberals like Pitts go to disprove something, it usually is true. Barack is a Mooselimb.
What was the theory on the other thread? When the WaPo came down on FR for the BC story, the theory was, "Aha! Judging by their reaction, there must be something to it that bothers them!"
So when this idiot writes, "Too bad intelligent reflection is a stranger to the people in question..." you're all too eager to go after him...why again?
Since he has little argument, there's no need to go after his logic and thus, no need to bother with the guy at all.
And heaven forfend that this whole thing could be a perfect-storm rope-a-dope, where they let the right get worked up and finger pointing, and then just pull out the trump card.
Well, I go put my flamesuit on now. It's hard to safely offer a counter-opinion to the mob on FR these days.
What does this guy have against Muslims?
Well good. Then Barack has at least one thing in common with GW Bush.
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.
From that article:
I was a little Jakarta street kid, he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.
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 (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
From that article:
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?
The answer is plain...we can't.
His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.

I believe Obama is a Luo tribal name. Most Luo are not Muslim.
I believe he is not a Muslim...his comment about “clinging to their God” tells me he is following in the footsteps of he mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, in that, like her, he is most likely an atheist.
Mubarak Hussein Obama was born to a MUSLIM father. Now why would a Muslim father raise his son as a Christian ??
I think they're selling "FReeper flame resistant undies" now....... but seriously, what makes me mad about this article is the fact that he fails to point out that Hillary and her minions attacked Obama, not "conservative pundits, GOP functionaries".
So he shouldn't be ignored for LYING! He should be called out on it!
Jeff and George might have some data to counter this Obamabot.
In the past month or so, with all the bad realities/garbage we have on Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas is being spiked, hidden, ignored or laughed at by most of the MSM. Or laughed at by klowns like this fake journalist,LEONARD PITTS JR. .
The latest is the attack of the Compost by one of Obamas elitist left wing politically correct Black Racist Professor on Free Republic, Beckwith and other Freepers.
The mediots and their elite left wing owners put $inator Hill out of the race, and now they are doing anything to defend Obama to put McCain out of the race to make Obama appear to be the great Messiah, who will save America.
What deals has Obama and his handlers made with the elite MSM owners behind closed elite doors?
We know the shaky financial realities most of the owners of the MSM outlets face.
If the trends continue against them, few if any will be around by the next big election in 2012.
Did Obama promise federal funding if he is elected or bailouts like the one Chrysler got decades ago if the MSM elites and their mediots protect and shield Obama to get him elected?
They are counting on something to save them, and it appears to be electing Obama as POTUS.
Being outed as a Muslim = Political death in the general election. He's already once experienced the wrath of the 'Bible clingers' and the 'gun clingers' in two crucial states.
The Obama adverts in Florida have him touting his “Kansan values”.
With fairy tales such as this from the candidate himself, I see no reason not to explore his Muslim side.
As others have asked, I thought there wasn’t anything WRONG with being a Muslim?? Why is Odumbo such an Islmaophobe?
History on that is over, my friend.
After "Unity, NH" Hillary's opposition to Obama NEVER HAPPENED.
Got it?
People don't give Rush Limbaugh credit, but keeping Hillary in was the ONLY way to bruise this guy. They've circled the wagons. He's teflon.
McPain knows this too. And he's smart not to throw rotten eggs at the New Teflon Man.
A scarf killed Isadora Duncan!
Add RETREAT, NO OIL, BLACK LIBERATION, CORRUPTION...all of the ones you have and these others make Obama who he is.

How many non-Muslims do you know who took KORAN STUDY CLASS is Elementary school?
Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim. His campaign is lying to the American people. It is an obvious lie, a stupid lie, and a lie which may well doom his candidacy.
Which is hated more on FR, Møøslimes, or Evil atheists?
Good rant, but entirely true I suspect...every word.
People here don’t get it. They’re still playing Goldwater vs Rockefeller over and over...
We’re enjoying the fun of the roller coaster ride, and don’t yet see the the tracks of freedom stop in mid-air January 2009.
Like I said in #23, Obama is teflon from here on out.
If we can’t convince Americans that nationalizing oil is a bad thing for example, then we can’t save this election.
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 (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
Read RetiredArmy’s #22.
This muslim thing, the Whitey thing, the gay-sex-with-cocaine thing are all going to distract everyone long enough so they don’t even understand that Marxism is bad.
Do you guys have an answer for that?
I’ve heard people on the radio, people in bars, college kids....saying, “Oil companies are stealing us blind, Congress should hold them accountable!”
Not, “Approve more drilling.” Not “lower taxes.”
VOTERS TODAY REJECT REAGAN, INSTEAD THEY SAY:
“GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE PROBLEM, GOVERNMENT IS THE SOLUTION.”
Ask anyone in New Orleans.
I got an “A+” in ranting while in the Army. My commanders loved to put me in charge of large, unpopular, projects/details/movements/field problems/weapons ranges, etc., because I seem to have a loud enough mouth too carry over all the whining, moaning, bitching, and groaning going on after you have told them what they have too do!! :-)
What are the chances that someone named Obama (Osama) with the middle name Hussein (Saddam) would run for Prez AT THIS POINT IN TIME?
There is hiding that FACT he had Islam influence in life. The fact he has attended that hateful racist church for twenty years should tell you volumes if he is a secret Muslim -- a ''Manchurian candidate,' or not. A secret Muslim would have attended a more mainstream church
Personally, I don't think he is a secret Muslim, but what does concern me is if you are raised a Muslin or at least been exposed to Islam and have a affinity for it......................how do you fight radical Islam and are willing to absolutely destroy the radical elements of it within this country and afar.
It matters because muslims by and large fell under the sphere of influence of the former Soviet Union. Throughout the muslim world you find them easily co-opted by marxists who played on their antipathy for European colonizers and/or Jews. Many collectivist regimes are run hand-in-glove with Islam.
Now, of course, you can point out that there are collectivists who are Christian and Jewish, and this is true, but the judeo-christian ethic has proven compatible with capitalism and freedom. Islam hasn't. There's no Islamic influence in the American experiment, and freedom is a foreign concept to Islam as far as I can see.
Some of it has to do with the differing underlying philosophy of the three faiths. To be Jewish is to be chosen. To be Christian is to have faith in God's forgiveness. To be Muslim is to be obedient. Now. Which one of those is most compatible with Marxism?
Whether we like it or not, Marxism and Islam are deeply compatible. The only two details in which they differ is in the State v. God figurehead and the tribalism v. nationalism loyalty. But on the individualism/collectivism continuum, Islam is closer to them than to us.
When "whiteness" has become a codeword for capitalism, which it now is in universities nationwide, when Islam has become a symbol for "non-whiteness," we are looking at the new class war, which melds white/judeo-christian/capitalist into one identity, and non-white/marxist/muslim into the other. The only other.
This coagulation is already well underway. Note that already, blacks who abandon the marxist line of thought are considered by the black community to be "not really black." Black children who do well in school are attacked by other black children as "acting white." Because school is competitive. It's training for capitalism, training for independence.
This is the direction they are trying to move us. So the point of this rather long post is this: If Obama is, in addition to being a marxist, is also perceived as Muslim to the international community, or of having an imprint of cultural islamism (even if it's just from childhood experiences), he is the perfect candidate to solidify this thinking. And that is dangerous to the last free country.
I thought his biological father was married to another woman at the time of birth. So his involvement in the son's life would probably have been minimal. Maybe that's where the Senator got the inspiration for the, "fatherhood does not end at conception" .... part of his last inspirational speech.
We may win a few of the others over...but our most important task is to awaken, inform, and educate those who do not believe Government is the answer and get them out to vote.
In essence, it is the 2004 election rehashed...with a smoother talking, utopian candidate being put forth instead of Kerry.
But, as I say, getting the word out on who Obama really is is the answert...and his character and his decisions, and his associations, all figure into that.
Some talking head on FNC yesterday said they should have held the Unity Love Fest in Bethlehem, Pa because of Obama's Messianic image.

It's okay for liberals to be racists.
I thought “Luo” was British slang for toilet?
I have a feeling that a “muslim” speech isn’t going to go over very well. His “race” speech sucked, as well.
Lie: Barack Obama attended a "radical madrassa."Frame the question to distract the reader.
Truth: Barack Obama never attended a "radical madrassa."What type of "madrassa" did Obama attend? Bill Clinton was excellent at parsing his sentences to not technically lie. Obama is transparent.
I just want him to explain what he was doing at the muzzie school in Indonesia, if he’s not a raghead?

Senator Obama has no God but himself.
Q. Why did Obama say that the madrassa where he trained wasn’t a “radical” one?
A. The students weren’t trained with live ammo.

Oh well of course, if you can’t make the story die just tell the masses that those who question their truth are stoopid! Apparently this is still a problem for BO’s campaign or else stories like this wouldn’t keep being churned out. Just because his teachers from the Madrassa, his family, etc. all tell that he was raised muslim just believe those who write stories like this!
Just explaining his very real America-hating pastors will do.
