Public misconception is widespread in Kentucky about Barack Obama's faith

Herald Leader ^

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Like Adolf Hitler, another politician who was very popular in many parts of Europe, Obama espouses a perverse, self serving form of Christianity.

Personally, I don't believe that Obama holds any real religious convictions, he's more or less indifferent to spiritual matters. I think he sympathizes and identifies more strongly with Muslims than Christians and far more than Jews. I think he's been very clear where his racial identity is.

So I suspect that the good people of Kentucky are more correct in their assessment of Obama’s religious sensibilities than the his defenders, the mainstream media.

" Despite heavy national media attention about Obama's faith, more than half of likely Republican voters — 54 percent — and one of every four Democrats in the state do not know that the Democratic presidential nominee is a Christian, the poll found."

Needs a little editing: Despite heavy national media attention about Obama's faith, more than 99.98 percent of all journalists do not know of the Democratic presidential nominee's Muslim background, nor his 20 year membership in a radical black separationist church with Black Muslim connections, the poll found.

Once a muslim, always a muslim according to muslim law. In the eyes of every muslim, obama should be considered muslim forever.

54% of Republicans and 25% of democrats are correct. Rev. Wright does not preach Christianity, but rather, a liberation theology. Obama himself has been quoted as saying (paraphrased), "My salvation depends on getting the rich to give to support the poor."

[mlocher]

Del Ali, president of Research 2000, said he'd like to ask those respondents who said Obama is a Muslim if they listen to syndicated conservative talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Up until this point, I thought the article was mostly fair, citing poll data. This comment demonstrates the article is slamming those in KY, and making them look like right wing kooks, instead of the middle America they really are.

Despite heavy national media attention about Obama's faith, more than half of likely Republican voters — 54 percent — and one of every four Democrats in the state do not know that the Democratic presidential nominee is a Christian, the poll found.

The poll showed that 14 percent of likely Kentucky voters — 28 percent of Republicans, 4 percent of Democrats and 11 percent of independents — think Obama adheres to the Muslim faith.

The truth to the media is like a cross to a vampire.

The problem here is that the unwashed masses know what the truth is even if the MSM doesn't.

Got a source for that one?

I’d love to be able to use it and be able to back it up.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Ah, is Black Liberation Theology still considered Christian? Is Rev Wright’s church Christian? In what way?

[metmom]

Great!!!! Thanks a million......

Thanks for the ping on this.

[Jabba the Nutt]

In these articles 'educating' us rubes that Obama is a Christian, they always neglect to point out how Obama has lied about his religious history. His father was Muslim, that makes Obama a Muslim. Obama was registered as a Muslim and took Muslim religious classes in Indonesia. Obama has lied, denying he was ever a Muslim.

The sensible question is: If he lied about his religion once, wouldn't he lie about more than once? Bottom line, 20 years at Rev Wright's church doesn't prove one's Christianity to me.

[longtermmemmory]

It is not the “so what”

it is the lie that destroys obama’s credibility.

His best answer would have been he was raised as a moslem but is now a christian.

but that would not exactly endear him to th emajority of his donors.

This piece misunderstands the situation. The folks in question will not vote for a black man. They just won’t do it.

They have found the Muslim fig leaf to hide the offending PC nakedness.

[Snurple]

Republican voters — 54 percent — and one of every four Democrats in the state do not know that the Democratic presidential nominee is a Christian,

Christian? By whos definition? Obama has embraced some kooky racist religion that chooses to label itself Christian yet its core beliefs stand in opposition to Christ and His teachings which are the foundation on which the Christian faith is built. He is no Christian. I have a dog, my choosing to call it a cat does not change the fact it is a dog. Someone who points out the fact that I have a dog not a cat is not "confused" about the type of pet I have, they merely state the obvious.

His faith is in MARX

Right-o! Religion is just a tool that people like him employ.

----------------------

BTW- how come we never see studies on how many muslims intend to vote FOR "Uh"bama because of his name? Just like the ignorant black racists masses who will vote for him just because of skin color, I suspect muslims will vote for him because they think he is muslim, or because of his name. The MSM wants to believe they can read my mind, and imply I am narrow minded, but what about the narrow minds of his supporters?

[Godwin1]

Maybe they don't think he is a Christian because they know that he endorses stabbing fully formed babies through the head with scissors, that he promises more of it, through federal funding, the appointment of only pro-abortion federal judges, and the criminalization of opposition to abortion. They know that NO ONE who really believes in a Living God that takes an interest in the affairs of humans could be so relentlessly murderous and bloody minded.

[yldstrk]

Christian................very debatable. Don’t “know” that he is a Christian. Prove it Bambi. Start acting like one.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Obama’s faith [or lack thereof] is a hot, unreported issue.
