Mayor: Obama Purposely Blocked "Peanuts"
Associated Press ^ | Dec.5, 2009

Posted on 12/05/2009 12:36:37 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

(CBS/AP) A small town mayor is under fire for what he wrote about the President online.

Mayor Russell Wiseman of Arlington called President Obama a Muslim on his Facebook page, attacked Obama's supporters, and said the president's primetime address on Tuesday was a deliberate effort to block the airing of the Christian message of the cartoon "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

The Commercial Appeal reported Wiseman's comments, posted on his Facebook page, which included the claim that the president is Muslim.

Mr. Obama is Christian.

You know the Peanuts cartoons could use some animation updating.

As a shorty, I always thought those Snoopy episodes of being in WWI was pretty scary.

Obama is Christian?

That explains him bowing to every leader in the world.

"...but we are a Muslim one, I guess."

Not yet, but we have a Muslim president.

“Mr. Obama is Christian.”

Really. We’ll, I’d like to hear him say the only way to salvation is faith in Jesus Christ. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will never happen.

"Not only is he totally predictable, he's repetitive. "

Ever heard of the "Chinese water torture"? Repetition is one of the age-old methods of indoctrination.

I read a book years about - forgot the title - but it dealt with using the 'broken record' technique to win arguments...the premise was to agree with your opponent, and then add the "but" factor repetitively until they crack.

The example I remember was someone trying to return an item to a store, it went something like this:

Clerk: "Sir, I can't give you a refund because you don't have a receipt."

Customer: "I realize I don't have a receipt, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back."

Clerk: "Sir, we have a policy of not allowing refunds unless you have a receipt from our store."

Customer: "I realize you have your rules, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back.".

Clerk: "I'm sorry sir, but I am not authorized to give you a refund without a receipt."

Customer: "I realize this puts you in an awkward spot, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back." Perhaps I could speak with a manager."

Then do the whole thing over with the manager. I've used variations of this several times and it works pretty often as long as you keep your cool, keep smiling, and don't let up...they'll give you a refund just to get rid of you.

Back to the point: obama knows repetition works, it is the entire basis of human conditioning and learning. Repetition is the whole basis of the left's daily "talking points" You want to learn the piano...then get prepared for hours practice...practice=repetition.

Sean Hannity uses this technique...his responses to callers are totally predictable...he uses the same lines - the truth - but the same verbaige over and over...I guess he figures it works for the dems, so why not. Then again, some of the dems are so "dim", it takes over and over to get the point across, if ever.

The mistake the left makes is, they want to do the same thing over and over, and expect different results each time.

And for that reason I join you and millions of others, when the kenyans face shows up on the tube, I switch the channel to something more palatable...like...like..."Peanuts".

I mean, preempting "Peanuts"...that's the last straw...that's turning off and American Institution for a kenyan islamic ritual.

I think this claim that obama wanted to ‘block’ the Charlie Brown program because of it’s Christian conclusion is a stretch. A big stretch.

How many religious networks and programs are on t.v.? -Yet, he’s concerned about the Christian ‘propaganda’ of Charlie Brown? (which is available on dvd - most folks I know own the thing)

"...are they purposefully asserting he’s a Christian even though all evidence suggests otherwise?"

Stalin could only dream about having organizations like the AP and Reuters working for him.

I think he's purposefully not finding a church, in the same way that he purposefully took (how many) months to come to a decision on Afghanistan.

Then again, how long did it take for him to make a decision on a dog? He may just be genuinely dim witted, taken advantage by those with an anti-American agenda - that he just happens to agree with.

"The Associated Depressed will defend Obama til their dying day."

Hitler had Goebbels to the bitter end.

Obama has his AP staff.

If it were against the law to be a Christian, there would obviously not be enough evidence to convict Obama. It appears the good mayor made a valid point.

‘Mr. Obama is Christian.’

Or so he says. Now.

One is constrained to point out, however, that the man is a congenital liar.

Mr. Obama is Christian.

Based solely on personal experience I've never even heard of a marxist who wasn't an atheist, even if they pretended otherwise in public.

And if barack 0bama isn't a marxist then may I never get to post on Free Republic again. There. You can tell now I'm serious.

No! "The Messiah" is a Muslim.

He let slip his Muslim faith with George Stephanopolous.
