OBAMA ELECTIONEERING AT TAX EXEMPT MOSQUES: POLITICAL ISLAM AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE

[taraytarah]

Are they aware of all the idiots that have changed their name to Hussein in honor of That One?

[jrooney]

For mentioning Obama’s full name?! Good luck with that fed probe by some democrat. If I were the Sheriff I would sue the hell out of the fed prosecutor for harrasment and violation of my civil rights. Saying someone’s full name is not a crime until Obie is sworn in, which will never happen.

[Pyro7480]

Are you kidding me?? Obama MUST not be president, with all this authoritarian nonsense that’s been going on! Otherwise, there’s going to be chaos in this society like we’ve never seen.

[An American!]

HUH??? This is crazy!
One day after Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott sparked a national controversy by referring to Democratic presidential candidate as Barack Hussein Obama, the federal government is investigating a complaint about his remark and members of the local ACLU and NAACP have called for an apology, saying Scott’s action was racist.

“Unless he changed his name, my position hasn’t changed,” Scott said. “It seems very clear to me that people have one of three stances on this thing: There are those who dislike it, there are those who like it, and there are those who think it’s a whole big deal about nothing, which is where I stand. ...

[BIGLOOK]

Memo to self:

Do not say 'Barack Hussein Obama' in an inflammatory manner.

Where in the FN law books does it say you can’t use someones name without being called a “racist” and a federal case being made out of it. Sieg Heil! The “New Direction” Amerika! Get used to it!

[jrooney]

I will call it here. This type of storm trooper crap by Obies people just guaranteed his loss in Florida. Those retirees/old people down there do not like getting told what to do or pushed around.

[sofaman]

Sarah Jessica Parker, Tommy Lee Jones, James Earl Jones ... suddenly Barak Hussein Obama is out of line.

[pissant]

The dirty rotten c*** suckers can come talk to me right now. C’mon you Hussein mama’s boys working in the DOJ, come talk to me.

[Wonderama Mama]

you’re in trouble fieldmarshaldj!

“The use of a name that has a Middle Eastern sound was used to insinuate the Muslim faith,” said Adrianne Marsh, spokeswoman for Obama's Florida campaign. “The fact of the matter is Sen. Obama is Christian, and always has been.”

But...but...the left keeps telling us that Muslims are peaceful. Why would Barak Hussein Obama care if anyone thought he was Muslim? Is Barak Hussein Obama insinuating that Muslims are bad? Is Barak Hussein Obama islamophobic? I think Barak Hussein Obama should be investigated for his obvious racial biases!

[Canedawg]

[floriduh voter]

He just said his name! b.s.

[Rome2000]

THIS IS FROM THE SOB'S WEBSITE

"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim.

Obama never prayed in a mosque.

He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ.

OK, SO NOW THE SOB IS GOING TO TELL THE BIG LIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT?

HELL NO.

Was Obama Ever a Muslim?

"I've always been a Christian," said Obama, focusing on his own personal lack of practice of Islam as a child to deny any connection to Islam. But Muslims do not see practice as key. For them, that he was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further, all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.

More: family and friends considered him as a child to be Muslim. In "Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School," Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press wrote on January 24, 2007, that Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather. The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering – Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant.

Asked about this, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs responded by indicating to Pickler that he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim."

Two months later, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times (available online in a Baltimore Sun reprint) reported that the Obama campaign had retreated from that absolute statement and instead issued a more nuanced one: "Obama has never been a practicing Muslim." The Times looked into the matter further and learned more about his Indonesian interlude:

His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama's grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended. That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades, Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.

The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque. "We prayed but not really seriously, just following actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said Zulfin Adi. … Obama's younger sister, Maya Soetoro, said in a statement released by the campaign that the family attended the mosque only "for big communal events," not every Friday.

Recalling Obama's time in Indonesia, the Times account contains quotes that Obama "went to the mosque," and that he "was Muslim."

Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, "I've always been a Christian" and "I've never practiced Islam." The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that "Obama never prayed in a mosque."-Daniel Pipes

OBAMA WAS BORN MUSLIM AND PRAYED TO MECCA AS A BOY

[Cobra64]

I’d refer to him as The Terrorist Magic Negroe Obama Hussein.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Just a sign of things to come folks from the Dear Leader’s gestapo. The slightest hint of disrespect brings the masses screaming to your door. RACIST!!!!! Why only a racist would use someone’s middle name! Immediately call in the NAACP, the ACLU, and all the other gestapo organizations that support Barrack............Obama.

Get ready folks, change is coming and it wont be pretty.

[LibertyRocks]

So according to Marsh, Obama has ALWAYS been a Christian, huh? Someone may wish to tell Obama that! According to Obama HIMSELF that is not true. He credits Reverend Wright for “bringing him to Jesus” a little over 20 years ago.

[Domandred]

This ^&$# has got to end. Can’t even say a persons name without getting investigated. Hussein.

[babydubya1981]

Puleeeze! This is total BS!

His middle name is Hussein, is it not?

[Hildy]

This is unbelievable...so, we’re not allowed to say this man’s full name? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?

[moonpie57]

Did yall see this posted on FR earlier?

Secret Service visits Lufkin woman after ‘death threat’ allegation from an Obama campaign volunteer

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2100115/posts

[Slings and Arrows]

Why am I reminded of the stoning scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian?

[OldTCS]

I bet he has no problem with his middle name being used when he travels to the middle east.

[flowerplough]

“The use of a name that has a Middle Eastern sound was used to insinuate the Muslim faith,” said Adrianne Marsh, spokeswoman for Obama's Florida campaign. “The fact of the matter is Sen. Obama is Christian, and always has been.”

Funny... I've seen photos of Catholic school registration papers from Indonesia, his Muslim stepfather's homeland, that list him as little Barry Soetoro, Muslim.

[Rome2000]

If HUSSEIN is a Christian he would be the only one in his family.

I mean his brothers and father, aunts, uncles stepfather, all death cult members, muzzies, and towel heads.

[kauaiboy]

Id sure like him to answer to the fact that

(1) Farrakhan and the NOI are tied at the hip to him

and Oh - all that other muzzie sh*t

He had Nation of Islam goons protecting him on the trail

Who did Wright go and kiss the boots of ? Quaddafi -

HE IS A MUSLIM PLANT !

[Hanna548]

Ok, well then how about from here on out we all call him O-Hussein, the O only to make a distinction between him and the dead one.

I am serious people, come on, this is something we can do to fight back.

[danamco]

HUSSEIN

Better, he should have used his real Indonesian name; Barry Soetoro!!!

[weegee]

A chill wind blows.

There is nothing “defamatory” about speaking the truth. There is no slur in using a man’s full name.

Obama’s own supporters have take to adopting the middle name “Hussein”.

This is a partisan witchhunt and those engaging in it should be removed from office.

The ACLU and NAACP have prompted an investigation “seeking an apology”. I am unaware of ANY legal apparatus to force an apology. So what is this officer being investigated on? What’s the charge? They contacted the “US Office of Special Counsel” and claim it is a violation of the “Hatch Act”.

There is nothing partisan about speaking a man’s name.

And the Obama scampaign repeats the lie that “it sounds like” a muslim name. It IS a muslim name. Barack was NAMED AFTER his grandfather who adopted the name AFTER he converted from Catholicism to Islam.

She also lies in saying the Barack was “always” a Christian. How? His mother was an atheist and his fathers were non-observant muslims. Who baptised him and when and where? Why did he attend koran class as a youth (an act he discussed in his book)?

Obama’s marching idiots are lying. WHY? Why would they believe it a “slur” to acknowledge the muslim heritage of his fathers?

[bad company]

Oh now this is rich;

The Republican sheriff, who is up for re-election,

And then this....

and a news conference was held by members of the Fort Myers Coalition for Justice, the NAACP and the ACLU, pulling their support for Scott unless he makes an apology.

The aclu and naacp were supporting a republican. Right. Words do not exist, capable of expressing my disbelief in that claim.

[John Valentine]

“The fact of the matter is Sen. Obama is Christian, and always has been.”

An outright lie.

No Christian has been baptized with the name "Hussein." Perhaps some have converted, but that means that they must have been non-Christian at some time in the past - as was Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama was most definitely listed with his religion (Agama) noted as Islam when he was Indonesian and enrolled in public school there.

Does this jackass think the voters are THAT stupid? Obviously many are.

[Dallas59]

Barack Hussein Obama

Come and probe me...

[SolidWood]

“The use of a name that has a Middle Eastern sound was used to insinuate the Muslim faith,” said Adrianne Marsh, spokeswoman for Obama's Florida campaign. “The fact of the matter is Sen. Obama is Christian, and always has been.”

Middle Eastern Sound? WTF? It doesn't get any more Arab Muslim than HUSSEIN. And Obama ALWAYS a "Christian"? This Orwellian sh*t is going too far.

[weegee]

Be careful, Barney Fwank may do just that!

[Brown Deer]

The article does not say what he did wrong. It only says that he said 0bomba’s full name correctly. What did this polite man do?

[kik5150]

Remember during the “we are the President” days how she wanted to be addressed as Hillary RODHAM Clinton, only to change back when she was running for Pres?

Where is Lee County?

[ApplegateRanch]

A complaint sent to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel Tuesday alleged Scott violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity, because his agency receives federal dollars

Okay; I want my federal pension.

My last job was 14 years at a hospital that "recieved federal funds".

The previous 3 years, I worked for different hospital that "recieved federal funds".

Previous to that, I worked at an assortment of hospital or other medical facilities that "recieved federal funds".

Prior to that, I worked for contractors on projects that were partially federally funded.

Prior to that, I worked for a couple of engineering companies, on projects that were heavily federally funded<

By this reasoning, I was a federal employee for pretty much 30 years, (and that doesn't even count my time as a sub at the Post Office; or working for DOD as a "temporary employee"; or working as a student employee at college.) and I want my federal benefits!
