This is the story of a dinner party.
It occurred in a suburban middle-class community — maybe slightly upscale middle class, but not much — just outside one of our big cities. Pretty typical place.
The guests all knew each other. They were neighbors or friends or acquaintances who’d been to these parties many times. They were white, every one, mostly businessmen and their wives, and some engineers who work or once worked in the nearby defense industries.
The postdinner conversation was the usual stuff — who’s moving in, who’s moving out. Anybody heard from Ralph since he moved to Wisconsin? Nobody had. No surprise. Ralph wouldn’t tell you if your coat was on fire.
It was about at that point, as the conversation edged warily toward the touchy subject of politics, that one fellow — a bit of a curmudgeon — asked if anybody thought President Obama had not been born in America.
You could have heard a cocktail napkin drop.
For a moment, no one said a thing. People looked at one another. Then a lady who had moved to the area from Virginia raised her hand. “I do,” she said. One by one other hands were raised until it was clear most of guests thought Obama had not been born here.
Nobody said anything. Nobody had to. The verdict was clear. But apparently not entirely clear to the questioner. He pressed on. “Does anyone think Obama’s a Muslim?” he asked.
By now it was evident the questions made some guests uncomfortable. This guy was casting a pall over our good time. But he wouldn’t quit. “Anybody think Obama’s a Muslim?” he asked. And again most of those present raised their hands.
The president, they were convinced, or said they were, is indeed a Muslim...

I throw that term back at those blacks that call whites crackers as an insult.... I can make a joke out of it at their expense.... I don’t research something that doesn’t interest me to begin with. And that doesn’t interest me. I come from *pig in the parlour Irish* and don’t find that offensive. Hard working Irish that had to endure a potato famine that killed thousands..
Zer0’s blackness is just a cover-up for his whiteness as the son of a white mother. Combined, he is a cover-up for the Marxist efforts to destroy America.
I think Mr Farmer went to the Stephen Glas/Jayson Blair Journolism School. I dont believe this story. It is too pat, too appropriate to his thesis. Sounds like a liberal version of a “teaching moment.”
PROVE this actually happened, Mr Farmer.
A rather idiotic premise. It`s not a white vs. black issue, and it never was, though the libs would love to frame it that way. The real question is, “Is America comfortable with having a marxist, pro-muslim, anti-capitalist, anti-American homo lover in the White House?”
“This is the story of a dinner party.”
And why do I suspect it’s just that? A fantastical story.
The story is an utter invention. John Farmer is a liar. The only conclusion is that the story is a fake or John Farmer’s friends are.
I wish we had 8 more on SCOTUS just like Thomas. As for his skin color or hair type, it isn’t relevant.
Those that obsess on race have an intellectual maturity problem.
“It is a fear tactic and a smear tactic. Play the race card. It’s all the stooge has.”
You’re right; it is all he has, and it worked once. We no longer have the luxury of voting for an affirmative-action novelty; can you see how black America has responded to the election of the first “black” president?
Did you forget the “barf alert” tag?
Obama’s politics, policies and incompetence can’t hide behind his black anymore. Maybe he should try a different color.
Hey Mr. Farmer,
IMO, calling Obummer a black man is racist. To do so is to ignore his mother was lily white. He is, in fact, BI-RACIAL, regardless of what the media tells us.

John Farmer is a big Socialist who writes for NJs largest state-wide fish wrapper. The biggest contribution of the Ledger is as material for a recycling center!
Some facts:
1. His father was a Muslim.
2. His first name: Barack. It means: Mubarak (Arabic: مبارك, Mubārak) is an Arabic given name, which has the meaning "blessed one". A variant form is Baraka or Barack (Arabic: بارك, Bārak), not to be confused with the unrelated Hebrew name Barak). Mubarak and Barack are thus the Arabic equivalent in meaning of the Latinate "Benedict" (from Latin Benedictus "blessed").
3. His middle name: Hussein. It means: Hussein (also spelled Husein, Husain, Hussain, Husayin, Hussayin, Huseyin, Husseyin, Huseyn, Hossain, Hossein, or Husseyn) (Arabic: حسین, Ḥusayn), is an Arabic name which is the diminutive of Hassan, meaning "good", "handsome" or "beautiful". It is commonly given as a male given name, particularly among Shias[1], in honor of Hussein ibn Ali. In some Persian sources the forms Ḥosayn, Hosayn, or Hossein is used.[2] On the Subcontinent or South Asia, the form used is "Hussain" or "Hossain" in the Bengal region.
4. He grew up in Indonesia, a predominately Muslim country.
5. His stepfather was a Muslim.
So we're not a bunch of dumb racist rednecks just making things up. The facts all point to him being Muslim. Now Obama says he's a Christian, and I'll accept that because now it's up to God to determine; not me.
However, the bottom line is, assuming he is a Muslim is in no way far-fetched.
Wrong question. Let's fix it:
After nearly 4 years of Obama, is America uneasy with a homosexual marxist buffoon in the White House?
Yup, the first thought was “who writes this crap”?
You mean Rev 'G Damn America' Wright's friend? Or how about Eric 'my people' Holder's boss?
this author is a lying snake. No one is upset about skin color. However, people are upset that the guy is illegally occupying the office of President because it shows he puts ambition over honor, himself over everyone else, is a liar and will do anything to grasp power.
The author is trying to boil it down to racism, which is typical of Obama’s supporters. Believe me, no one gives a flying flip about skin color. It is about character, honor, truth. Obama doesn’t exhibit those qualities.
