“Why can’t we aks those questions? Who but ourselves is stopping us?”

In letting hatred of Hillary Clinton blind them to the greater danger of Barack Obama, many here and in the wider conservative community are the ones who labeled these questions and attacks as racist. It was short-sighted, intended to hurt no one but Hillary Clinton, but there it is. A suicide march.

I heard Limbaugh say something I said myself recently in a response to an article in the NY Post::

http://www.nypost.com/seven/02292008/news/nationalnews/tribes_rage_at_hill_99817.htm
I have to ask, but in your own article you keep referencing Obama and his defenders in Kenya to ISLAM.

Kenya is AFRICAN, not ARAB or Muslim in religion, (predominately), yet you used clear and accurate descriptions of names and titles that are clearly ISLAMIC and ARABIC in nature, such as:

“”
The photo showed Obama wearing a turban and being outfitted in other traditional clothing alongside Sheik Mohamed Hassan.

“He [Hassan] was the right person to perform any such activity like dressing a visitor like Obama with traditional Somali clothes,” Mukhtar Sheik Nur, another leader, told Reuters. “”

The very title SHEIK is an Islamic one, not an African one, nor is Kenya a predominately Muslim nation. His name is NOT traditional tribal Kenyan, but an Arabic, Islamic name itself.

I am wondering, were you laughing to yourself when you wrote this?? Didn’t you see this yourself?

Did you even ask yourself about the names and titles of these people from Kenya?

Also, in your article, you wrote ::

“”The pictures show Obama wearing traditional Somalian garb on a 2006 visit to the Wajir region of Kenya, where his late father was born. “”

We all know Obama’s dad was a Muslim, and knowing that this was from his Dad’s ancestral homeland, the Islamic connection to what he was wearing is UNDENIABLE!!

Did you even catch this of what you wrote?

“”The pictures show Obama wearing traditional Somalian garb on a 2006 visit to the Wajir region of Kenya...”

HELLO,,,,,,, Somalia is NOT Kenya, it is an ARAB country, not African ( black African ). Somalia is ISLAMIC.

Everything about what Obama wore was ISLAMIC in nature, origin, and cultural significance. It was NOT associated with a tribe at all from Kenya, Obama’s Dad was descended from SOMALI immigrants and your own words confirmed all this!!

By the way, Hillary’s campaign didn’t first release this, it was a Freeper named Bannie who found it first. Most likely it was a Hillary staffer trolling through Free Republic and found it and forwarded it to Drudge.

I swear to God, the whole world, or the media, is afraid to expose this about Obama, regardless of what is showed them or how much he is proven a liar, and it is almost identical to how the criminal background of the Clinton’s was being exposed in 1992, his association with left wing groups that were anti-American in nature while he was in college, his associations with known Communists in Eastern Europe, his draft dodging and associations with anti-war groups and persons, his absurd denials of drug usage, his history of sexual assault against women...when people spoke of it in 1992, they were called kooks. Now, when you speak of it, people nod their heads and just ignore it all the while knowing it is true!

It is the same with Obama, no matter what you expose on the guy lying about his past or his PRESENT associations with a racist pastor who openly endorses Louis Farrakhan, you are called a kook...

I predict it will be just like Clinton, it will take a few examples of him proving openly we were right all along, only then it might be too late.

Why don’t they burn down something worthwhile and really symbolic, like John Edward’s mansion or Al Gore’s?

Now that would get everybody’s attention, don’t you think?

Anyone asking Obama about ELF is an obvious racist and a hater. Stop with the questions already and accept Obama.

I’m sure it would. If John Edward’s mansion was burning I could probably see the flames here in CO.

We are not to ask him about his religion(s), but it's okay for Romney and Hucklebee to be grilled.

The problem with that is that Huckabee first brought up religion as his primary running point and played the anti-Mormon card against Mitt. Was it even an issue in Massachusetts?

As we speak, the RNC is besides themselves trying to figure out how to attack B.O., without seeming to be "attacking" him.

Republicans won't have a hard time attacking Obama - they'll hit him on issues. It's dems who have a hard time - they live by the sword of racial politics - it's what they see - they see color and sex, and what acts people perform in bed. We see ideas people hold. Our attacks are easy - they're the same for Hillary and Obama - liberal ideas won't work, will cost too much, and have been tried before...

What is wrong with racist when race is the heart of the issue?

I don’t see race as an issue. Only the way some may choose to exploit it. and I also think the word “racist” is without any real meaning, except as a word used to silence or intimidate.

The RNC had better get together some carefully crafted adds for the final race. People must be shown what Body Odor will actually do during his tenor should he be elected.
