Brit Hume Raises the Question of Barack Obama’s Muslim Background

To be clear: We at No Quarter have no concerns about Barack Obama having had a Muslim background; given the circumstances of his childhood, living with a stepfather in Indonesia who was Muslim as well as having relatives in Africa who are Muslim, it is simply a part of his background, and probably a plus to be exposed to the faith, although he was for the most part rather young to assess it.
Our issue is with Obama’s failure to be frank about his life history and — worst of all — his appearance of running from any past associations with Muslims, as if being evasive would protect him from voter concerns in an age of the Internet and 24/7 news. Instead — by insisting repeatedly that he is solely a “committed Christian” and has “never been a Muslim” — Obama may be insulting Muslims worldwide who are surely puzzled why he hides this past. Further, his obfuscations lose him credibility among voters who seek honesty and forthrightness in their presidential candidates.
Obama seems unable to grasp what most mature people understand: That hiding the simple truth damages one’s reputation far more than the fact that is being hidden.
Today, on his Fox News “Special Report with Brit Hume,” the veteran reporter noted in his daily “Political Grapevine” segment on his weekday program at 6 p.m. ET:
From the Fox News print report:
Throughout his campaign, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has assured his supporters that he is a Christian. He has been battling what his campaign calls an online “smear campaign,” which contends, among other things, that Obama was raised as a Muslim. There is even a statement on his official campaign Web site reading, “Obama has never been a Muslim and is a committed Christian.”
But, Obama’s half-brother is not so sure. Malik Obama tells the Jerusalem Post that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people — despite his Muslim background.
The article was also accompanied by an image of Malik Obama holding a photo of him and Barack Obama in Muslim dress — reportedly when the two first met in 1985.
See? The facts are not particularly shocking or troubling — at least to me.
But it’s Obama’s fear of acknowledging this part of his life story that most troubles me.
What troubles me are his incessant insistence that he is a “committed Christian” — and constant denials of any associations with Muslims — in desperately trying to cover up this part of his past.
Ironically, his frequent statements about his Christian faith are backfiring — thanks to the innumerable airings of the Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger rants.
Now, every single time he mentions he’s a Christian, the very first image that pops into my mind — and surely that of most voters — is Jeremiah Wright’s racist, separationist rants. Or Father Pfleger (who, by the way, is baaaaaack — more about that in an upcoming post).
I doubt Barack Obama will be able to “unring” that bell. Most Americans, once they’ve seen those tapes of the Revs. Jeremiah Wright, Otis Moss, James Meeks or Father Pfleger, will have those WORDs and SIGHTs indelibly imprinted on their brains as associated with Barack Obama.
Flopping Aces blog allowed us to feature their video of Obama’s “Wise Men.” If you missed it, here it is — it’s very well-done:

Thank you for this excellent report.
This is all just distraction from the more crucial (and suppressed) facts about Obama’s deep connections to the Bush Admin. Such revelations would wipe out his progressive base and result in a call for Clinton’s return. That’s why our blogs should be discussing them and not simply react to each Rove coordinated news cycle. Here are the facts and source links I’ve compiled. Plesse use them.
http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/2008Election.html
Gee, I thought Rove wanted to run against Obama because he thought Americans were so racist that they’d never vote for a black person.
Now Obama’s a secret tool of the GOP? Tinfoil-hat stuff. Gotta love what the fringes of the blogosphere comes up with.
I looked in KY at people who donated to republicans also donated to Obama. Those records are public. Obama had more donatations from Ky than Hillary although she won the state… doesn’t mean much until you notice the same people donated to a republican as well.
This has been my thought all along. “Obama brought to you by the same news stations who brought you the Iraq war”
Mr. Obama has written extensively about the Muslim people in his life. Sheesh!
What a load of crap. This whole post is a ‘concern trollish’ screed.
Larry Johnson is an undercover operative for the Republican Johnny McCain.
Oh for cryin’ out loud, you moron, don’t you think if Larry is working for the republicans he would have waited til after the convention to unload this stuff to ensure that Hillary can’t step back in to the race? Idjit.
Reality-based observation: none of this stuff is even in the ballpark of what it would take to knock Obama out of the nomination.
Larry’s motives? Well, I take him at his word that he does believe that somehow supers might switch to Hillary if enough dirt on Obama comes out.
But Larry’s efforts to dig up dirt have come up short, and he’s made an ass of himself in the process. After that “shocking video” of Michelle Obama never materialized as he promised, no one has any reason to take him seriously again.
That was his shark-jumping moment.
Previous poster is right. Bambi is a lot more on the right side. Personally, I think he’s the Democratic Party’s Dubya.
Bambi, Dubya. Neither one is good for me, my children, or my country.
Larry Johnson is a former CIA liar. He is a pro at it who worked with para-military thugs who were murders. What does that make him?
Smarter than someone who takes Howard Zinn too seriously!
Who are you? Come out of the dark. Zinn has been a WWII veteran who risked his life, changed the face of the way history is taught by making the voice of the common man the centerpiece of history and an important person in the civil rights movement. I’m glad you know about my film.
Just wait: I bet Larry has a shocking video of Obama denying any association with Muslims.
9 AM this Monday, just you wait.
Obama was not only a muslim when he was a child he also spent ages from 2 to 12 of his life in muslim lands among muslims..His entire family on his father’s side are muslims..His friends were almost entirely all muslims from age 2 onward. Quite a few particularily in Hawaii and Calif and n.y… His muslim relationships continued with Farrakan and Rev. Wright who was also once a muslim and many more muslim friends in his adult life…As to why muslim do not object to Obama denoucing Islam it is because they know he is practicing taqiyya.Many muslims recognize Obama as the 12 imam muslim messiah by his name HUSSEIN and his sun rising in the west logo…Too bad so many Christians are not as enlightned.. This 12th imam madhi is the antichrist of Christans.. we will see soon.. They dont call this imam hidden for no reason..
In all fairness how can that outfit be called “muslim” dress? I went to college a few years back with a guy who used to wear the same kind of outfits but he was raised in a Christian african village. Fox News really have to stop these crazy attempts at smearing Obama with the use of “fear” tactics. This is going to back fire on those who want fairness within the democratic party
Fox news was not the author of the story. They simply reported on it. In your infinite knowledge of dress wear, can you find the explanation as to why Mr Obama’s own half brother believes Barack is Muslim?
“Barack’s own half-brother” never met the man until 1984. This is nothing but fear-mongering to manipulate the ignorant.
agreed.
Even if it was Muslim dress, so what does that prove. He was meeting his half brother for the first time in 1984. OB was born in 1961. What Muslim backround could he be referring to. What a bunch of crap.
You don’t think that childhoods are something two half-siblings might discuss when they finally meet?
Sure they would discuss their childhoods. Malik would describe his childhood in Africa and Barack would tell about his white Mother from Kansas.
Who had a child with one Muslim, married another Muslim, and moved her son to a Muslim country.
That mother from Kansas?
Oh yeah, the son whose grandparents were Christian, married a Christian, and raised his children as a Christian. If you knew anything about Islam you would know that for NO REASON, is it acceptable to accept another God other than Allah. If you do so publicly, even if that is what is not in your heart and you are doing it to save yourself, you are must be executed. You cannot be a Muslim and embrace another religion, it is the ultimate insult to God, apostasy. Anyone who thinks he could be a Muslim, or a Islamic sleeper designed to take the White House has NO concept of Islam as a religion.
I wish people would quit calling Trinity a christian church… It is an insult to christian churches!! TUCC is a Black liberation theology church! Black power through jesus!
Of course Brit Hume is going to raise a question about Obama’s “Muslim” background. What else would you expect from a Zionist like Hume?
Excuse me , whose holding the picture? His Muslim brother who seems so proud to show his Muslim brother, Obama.
I’ve seen Obama’s “brother” before. He sent me his picture along with an email saying he was about to inherit $20,000,000 and would share it with me if I sent him a Western Union money order for $500.
How stupid are you No Quarter crackers, anyway?
True, you can’t claim someone is Muslim simply because of the outfits they wear (would make you ‘wonder’ though). But, when a blood relative states he was ‘raised with a Muslim background’ - then that’s kinda hard to dispute. So, are you calling his half-brother a liar?
Why do you Obama cultists REFUSE to listen to anything negative about Obama, esp. things that could be potentially dangerous for this country???
“Why do you Obama cultists REFUSE to listen to anything negative about Obama, esp. things that could be potentially dangerous for this country???”
You’re assuming that people have mistaken you for someone who actually has something intelligent to say.
He was in Africa. This is traditional dress. Those who fear this tradition and say this is dangerous are nothing more than racists. Bret Hume is the lead cracker and the followers are lemmings.
Too bad Obama’s half brother Malik never said that. His words were inaccurately paraphrased, which has been verified by a recordinf of the original interview.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/
It’s too bad that stupid things like this are used to jump on Obama for “insulting Muslims by not admitting he’s a secret Muslim himself”.
you betray your lack of knowledge in using the term “outfit”. Go to the library and look up traditional dress styles for the peoples and tribes in Africa, dumbass.
Glad someone is picking up on his lies!
Just clothes. What about the ‘just words’ from Barry’s bro?
NOBAMA
his half brother said he had a muslim background,
just words
Instead — by insisting repeatedly that he is solely a “committed Christian” and has “never been a Muslim” — Obama may be insulting Muslims worldwide who are surely puzzled why he hides this past.
They’re Muslim, they aren’t dumb. Anyone who would be offended because a presidential nominee denies that he is something that would make it impossible to get elected is stupid. Of course, you don’t actually care about that, you’re just angry about the black man being the nominee.
There is no nominee until the convention.
I don’t care what color he is, or religion, or even sexual preference for that matter. His CONSTANT lies are an issue. His to me obvious criminal involvement with Rezko is an issue. His campaign corrupting the Democratic Primary is an issue.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
LMAO!
It’s amazing how many “vets” you find on the internet. Every right leaning, racist dipshit seems to be one.
If you don`t want to stand behind our troops,you are welcome to stand in front of them.
You’re one useless fuck.
I am not right leaning, racist or mentally challenged as you obviously are. I’m a moderate Democrat and have been one since I came home after Desert Storm. I supported Clinton in 92 and 96, Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 voting all Democratic down ticket as well. Although in 2004 my Presidential vote probably didn’t count, since I was in Youngstown Ohio where the initial Presidential vote count came up -25,000,000 votes for Kerry. But then you wouldn’t care about that, you Obamatons are all about stealing votes this year.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
Typical Obamabot response….
“You are against Obama because you’re a RACIST!!!!!”
Are you implying that he should lie to people for the sole purpose of getting elected?
That is exactly what is causing the outrage against your candidate. He is portraying himself as something he is not, on many levels.It’s immoral.
Yep. This person is saying Obama is your typical politician who will do and say anything to get elected. It explains all the flip-flops on Iraq, Iran, NAFTA, taxes, the 130 or so “present” votes in Illinois, and all the bodies underneath his bus.
…sooo it’s A-OK to lie!
Suuure, we see your justification there.
Oh, hang it up about the ‘black man’ bullshit. This particular black has mucho, mucho problems unrelated to his race.
What a stupid excuse. You sound like Jessie Jackson Jr. going all schizoid ‘crazy’ when anything is said about ‘the brother’. Pathetic and stupid.
Whatever you have to say doesn’t mean anything when you use a handle like that. Frankly, anyone who uses a handle like that should be banned on the spot. Fortunately for you it isn’t my call. You are; however, one repugnant human being.
you’re just angry about the black man being the nominee.
*
Yeah, that’s it! We’re all angry because the black man ‘won’ the nomination. Yep, we’re all racists - we admit it, so now you can stop calling us names - you no longer have any ammunition to use against us since we ‘confessed’. ‘kay?
did you read your own words? Sorry but we are not angry about obambi because he is black, so your race baiting won’t work. Obama is a threat to our country. you’d better deal with this before its too late.
it’s not that fact the he is in muslim dress, or is a muslim or a christan, its that he cannot tell the truth about anything…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNWPHElA7oo
Blah, blah, (insert silly insinuation about Obama here)blah…
Practice saying this with me now: President Obama.
It’s really quite easy. You’ll get it eventually, you’re gonna have 8 years to get it right.
Meanwhile, in the Hillbot bunker…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Ky1_pyn6Q
Counting chickens again? He is not even the nominee yet.
They just realize that right now is the only chance for gloating they’ll ever have. It’s downhill from here on out for Obama, right up to January, when he has to stand sniveling in the cold and watch President McCain be sworn in (unless he makes a run for it to a jurisdiction without extradition to the U.S.).
Maybe he’ll go golfing in the Bahamas?
He will never be my president. And I will do everything in my power that is legal and lawful to prevent him from every walking into the Oval Office, except as a tourist.
hear, hear!
As in “I hope your cell is comfortable, President Obama.”
Lmao.
Race-baiters do not make good Presidents…
Because they’re never elected.
Yeah, right. May we remind you that Al Gore was practicing saying President Gore right up til that Supreme Court thing too….
Al Gore would have won the 2000 election had it not been for the Supreme Court halting the vote counting, Runtymom. Are you proposing a similar outcome in 2008, one in which the Supreme Court in effect takes the election out from under Mr. Obama?
Al Gore undoubtedly empathizes with the “intent to vote” argument that the RBC abided by, having had many of his own “dimpled” votes and “Jews for Buchanan” votes stripped from him. An outstanding endorsement last night.
Couldn’t happen to a better person. Hope to God the Supreme Court has another field day and stops the vote counting in FL and MI (since the DNC couldn’t go that far) and baby jesus Obama loses the election. Oh but wait, he isn’t even going to be close to having enough votes to win the GE because he will have lost to MCCAIN! So your point is????
What troubles me is Obama’s constant lying. Excuse me, that’s not a good quality and not something I accept as good behavior.
Going so far to call others who bring up his background as a LIAR, makes everything he says appear to be false. We have too many examples of his untruthfulness, while calling others that.
Now after spending so much effort to claim anything about calling him a Muslim was a lie, even though he wrote about his classes and that he practiced it, as we see, he now appears to be nothing but a liar and fake. Did he really think he could continue his attack campaigning of calling everyone else a liar to appear he is the only honest one, a good strategy all the way through the General Election?
Naive doesn’t even cut it.
[...] Update (06-17-08): FOX’s Brit Hume reports on this story during Monday’s (6-16) broadcast. (ht/noquarter) [...]
Christian Science Monitor had an interesting article about how Muslims might consider him a Muslim and an apostate to boot:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0519/p09s02-coop.html
good to see this get a little more MSM attention. Obama’s “Audacity to Lie” is a major campaign issue. BO you can’t obscure and obfuscate the truth for the next six months! BO we will uncover your lies one after another, and we will not relent. The truth will set us free…
And it’s a l o n g way to the conventions, baby!
Keep those lies, half-truth’s and outright deceptions coming our way and see what happens on Nov. 4th.
Remember when Drudge posted that photo of obama in native garb and the rumor mill tried to blame it on hillary?
I would have expected a mature politician with integrity to say, yes, that’s me, I’m proud of that photo, like many diplomats I was honored to wear native garb. End of discussion. You own it and you control the debate.
Instead Obama whined, Hillary did it! She’s smearing me! Wahhh! So by naming the photo a smear, he gave ammo for any future Republican attacks. He also failed to take responsibility for the photo which was legit and not shameful at all. And he sent the message that his judgement is poor, because he himself said that was a damaging photo. Well, then why did you take it?
As to the Muslim thing, look at how Keith Ellison handled it. Yes I’m a muslim, I’m also a congressman, here’s Thomas Jefferson’s koran. Case closed. There’s no shame there.
Obama makes everything shameful. From being a Muslim, to wearing native garb, to being a “typical white person.” When you act that way, nobody trusts you because you act like you’re hiding something. To make matters worse, the Obama campaign then tries to shame voters into supporting him. You’re racists! You’re bitter! Uh, look in a mirror, Obama.
Remember when Mittary tried to claim that she was dodging sniper fire? That was a hilarious lie!
On a positive note; I heard that the Secret Service has contracted Halliburton to develop a sniper-proof Kevlar pantsuit.
No changing the subject, Yossarian. That’s the Obmites’s favorite trick.
Except it wasn’t a lie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRs_gAL9KAY
Clinton should’ve defended herself, but the Obamatrons were too loud and obnoxious and CBS didn’t want to own up to originating the video that would exonerate her, since they were the ones who fueled the controversy to begin with.
She’s either a shameless liar, or she knowingly took her daughter to a combat zone.
I’m going with the shameless liar. To assume otherwise would mean that I assume that she’s a real POS.
No, she actually knowingly took her daughter to a combat zone. Look how fantastic Chelsea turned out with Bill and Hillary’s parenting. Guess they aren’t such monsters after all.
This is the same inane comment you posted at YouTube. Repeating yourself like your idol Obama does so frequently? And the only POS is the cowardly Obama for lying about Hillary when he doesn’t even have the balls to debate an old vet like McCain, much less visit some on the front lines.
What is Obama going to do to punish his half-brother for straying from the prepared message about religious practices? Wouldn’t it be great if Obama were as honest as Malik? But I guess he just can’t get past all those years of being indoctrinated by crazy preachers and assorted terrorists like Ayers and Dohrn and crooks like Rezko and the Illinois combine).
Now that I think about it, there is one other POS — you. You have now attacked veterans who support Hillary and attacked Hillary for having the guts to travel to the front lines to visit soldiers serving in a combat zone. Real nice coming from someone who has never served at all, except possibly fries at McDonald’s, which is the job you’ll have to go back to after McCain administers that tremendously humiliating and embarrassing ass-kicking to Obama this fall and he has to fire all you bloggers.
Yossarian dear,
You can’t win in November just on Hillary hate.
Best get to work explaining why people SHOULD vote for Obama instead.
So far, you Obamabots are not doing a very good job recruiting voters for your candidate.
But they’re doing a hell of a job getting votes for McCain. Keep up the good work, Yossy!
John House,
Great video find..this should have been rebroadcast during the primary season. What a farce, indeed.
Once again, tangible proof of Senator Clinton’s compassion, knowledge and character.
This video is even better. It shows the MSM for what it truly is. Clinton should have defended herself-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHVEDq6RVXc&feature=related
We won’t click on your videos, Barrtard. You LP nutters are all antisemites and sexists anyway.
Of course, the media knew this footage existed. It chose to attack Hillary instead in the same way it sold the Iraq war to the American public. There was a video, that went viral, though, using that footage of the Tuzla visit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHVEDq6RVXc&feature=related
Yossarian is just a Catch-22 wannabe.
Do you find it so unbelievable that she remembered there being danger while meeting troops as First Lady?
Sweetie, if that’s all you’ve got, you are in sorry shape.
Here’s what PRESIDENT Clinton had to say about it.
“Let me just tell you,” he said, according to CBS News, “the president of Bosnia and General Wesley Clark - who was there making peace where we’d lost three peacekeepers who had to ride on a dangerous mountain road because it was too dangerous to go the regular, safe way - both defended her because they pointed out that when her plane landed in Bosnia, she had to go up to the bulletproof part of the plane, in the front. Everybody else had to put their flak jackets underneath the seat in case they got shot at. And everywhere they went they were covered by Apache helicopters. So they just abbreviated the arrival ceremony.
Comprehension okay? -The bulletproof part of the plane.
What a nut, that Hillary, thinking she needed protection from possible gun fire while being sent to the bulletproof part of the plane.
Now, address Barky’s lack of integrity, please.
Obama’s sister Maya was quoted by the New York Times as saying, “My whole family was Muslim.”
Good site for this topic
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaReligion.htm
So, there we go: 2 credible witnesses saying Obama’s family were Muslim.
His half sister and his half brother.
Are the Obamabots claiming they’re not credible?
His half-sister by his white mother, who raised him until he was 10.
So Barack was a muslim when he was a kid, what’s the big deal? He is a devout and dedicated Christian today. The fact that Barack has a diverse background is a good thing. When did words like “diversity” and “affirmative action” become dirty words for Democrats? Oh right, you guys aren’t Democrats.
Obama is a liar . .. that’s the big deal (I know it doesn’t matter to you because you a bona fide obama cult-member but it does matter to the intelligent normal people out here!
Obama is a liar . .. that’s the big deal (I know it doesn’t matter to you because you are bona fide obama cult-member but it does matter to the intelligent normal people out here!
The big deal is that he lied about it! He is what he calls a Christian now, and that (TUCC) will hurt him even more.
Since when did “diversity” and “affirmative action” become dirty words here? Since when did Democrats start using “diversity” and “affirmative action” to scare people? You people don’t believe in progressive ideals, you don’t belong in our great party.
Diversity is great. I love it. I’m not so willing to be so open-minded that Wright gets to join me on that great diversity bus.
No, in fact, I think hate-mongering is the opposite of divesity thinking.
So is ageism. So everytime I see an Obamabot calling himself Grampa….whatever, I get that twist in my gut.
Diversity IS great.
Obamabots……their sexism and ageism clearly has shown me which is the dark side of this election.
I do stand for diversity and always will.
And that will not be for Obama.
Since when is using the republican bush play book to bully voters progressive? Obama is using and duping you kids and black voters only you’re to blind to realize it. Your loss will hurt a lot when all the truth about Obama hits the MSM …and it will.
Those kids are all Republican kids. They are Arainna with a young face.
I am sure of that.
Any child raised in a Democratic home could not have tolerated spouting the the anti-Hillary crap I saw.
That just isn’t possible.
These are swing voters. They will be Democrats for a Day.
They will NOT work for the down-ticket.
They will NOT even pay attention to the real platform.
They are the worst of Independent voters.
Emotionally immature.
Single-cause voters.
With a computer.
Affirmative Action is banned in California because it’s discriminatory.
Stick that up your progressive ass while considering that Berkeley and San Francisco are also in California. Asshole.
Ever since Californian voters banned Affirmative Action, African American enrollment in the UC system plummeted. Now, the UC system is almsost devoid of minorities. Is this lack of diversity what you had in mind?
Is that why you want Obambi? Affirmative action in the White House.
A system based on MERIT!
WOW! What a fu***** concept!!!
You’re retarded.
Not my fault there are more asians at UCB than blacks. You ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, it’s a cultural failing, rather than THE MAN keepin’ the brothas and sistas down? That maybe when the admissions board looks at Joe Chan’s 1500 SATs and 3.9 GPA they’re more likely to accept him over Joe Williams’s 900 SATs and 2.4 GPA? Because with Affirmative Action, Joe Chan would’ve been passed up for Joe Williams. Yeah, THAT’S really fair, except NOT. You DON’T reward stupid people for doing no work JUST because of the color of their skin (which is what Obama’s benefitted from his entire life, including this primary season), asshole.
California is one of the most diverse states in the union, and for you to suggest that Affirmative Action being banned is the sole reason why there aren’t as many minorities being accepted into the UC system is bullshit.
Try blaming the people who don’t do a g-d damned thing for their lives rather than blaming THE MAN.
I agree, I hate Affirmative Action and I’m a female. Having to rely on it tells me that I’m weak and need a man’s help to compete. BULLSHIT! All I want is an even playing field then get the hell outta’ my way. And if someone beats me because they worked harder, well then that’s my own Goddamned fault.
LOL*……….that’s the silliest post yet!
Anyway….you are behind the eightball.
Ca still leads the way.
And we were for Hillary.
By the way…….catch the news about the GAY marriages?
One couple made me cry. They are in their 80s been together for over 50 years.
Hillary supported them.
Obama blew them off.
Progressive?
hardly……..
I saw that about the couple that had been together for fifty years. They made tears come to my eyes, too. There is no legitimate reason to deny same sex couples the right to marry — and to call it marriage, not civil union.
After the race-baiting in this campaign, Freedom, I think you’ll MORE states abolish Affirmative Action.
I just can’t vote for Obama. I saw no tears from him after Katrina.
Jesse Jackson Jr. taught me that.
obambi troll: he lies and denies his background. Read the story–none of us care about this background, it’s just that he continues to lie about it.
Um…didn’t Obama just jettison HIS WHOLE DAMNED CHURCH? Is he having a spiritual crisis or something?
Barack did not jettison the entire, he left to give them some sense of peace. He is also leaving because his former pastor had started to say something that were not an accurate reflection of the people of America. Had Rev. Wright said those things earlier, Senator Obama would have left the church earlier. So, I think your characterization is a little unfair.
Oh you mean Wright saying things like he did the sunday after 9/11, Obama would have left earlier, well it only took Obama what 7 years to leave?
You know, there is common sense and then there is ignorence, seems you like being ignorant don’t you, is Obama’s pay check worth your dignity also?
Freedom Fighter
I suggest you do some history of Obama’s Black Liberation Marxist Theology church. If you think that the only time that type of crap was preached at his church you are an idiot.
The whole theology of Trinity is the same crap Wright was “caught” on tape preaching. The 20 years Obama was in the church it was the same theology.
The only reason Obama threw Wright under the bus was because it was exposed.
Silly person do some research before you post.
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA
MCCAIN 2008 OR UNTIL HILLARY RISES
He is a devout and dedicated Christian today.
Devout and dedicated Christian today?
Devout and dedicated Christians never lie in church and especially when speaking at a pulpit in a churh, but Obama did in Selma:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=95KC7CF5B9E
Lies and lies and lies, some devout and dedicrated Christian Obama is
Dedicated Christian, huh?
Show me where it says white people are the evil force in the world in your Christian Bible.
Obama was raised a Muslim and chose a church of Black Liberation as an adult. Don’t think so? Refute it- ” a google” will show you written and video proof.
Well, we all saw Freedom Fighter admit further up the thread that Obama was a Muslim as a child.
That’s more honesty than Obama shows.
Nobody would have cared if he hadn’t been to afraid to admit it, and lied instead.
THAT speaks to his poor judgement, and his being unqualified for the White House.
Black liberation theology isn’t Christianity, it is humanism which is atheistic and marxist. Obama calls himself a Christian now to try to change the subject.
Why does Obama feel the need to constantly lie about everything? Having a Muslim background seems far preferable to having the religious background he originally embraced (before he unembraced it) of having worshipped at the altar of Jeremiah Wright.
But you’re right about us not being Democrats. I’ll never again be a member of a party for which “diversity” does not include women. Since, as pointed out in the City Edition piece, Republicans got to choose both nominees this year, I am choosing the Republican who will do the least harm while governing — and that is not The Precious One.
So Barack was a muslim when he was a kid, what’s the big deal? He is a devout and dedicated Christian today
**
Ain’t no ‘devout and dedicated Christian’ I know that ever attended a church whose ‘pastor’ preached HATRED, BLAME and DIVISION and USED GOD’S NAME IN VAIN - in the church TO THE CONGREGATION! Obama was/is devout and dedicated to a FALSE religion - the Black Liberation Theology and the Black Values System. The Bible warns us of false religions and false prophets.
Obama is a liar . .. that’s the big deal (I know it doesn’t matter to you because you are a bona fide obama cult-member but it does matter to the intelligent normal people out here!
I have always maintianed from the beginning of this primary and now we are entering the GE that BHO was nothing but a fraud and a phony. And every day more and more evidence are coming out showing exactly that the Obama is a fraud. I would like to ask Coward Dean, how do you like them apples now………? NOBAMA.
Dean has always known that BO was a fraud! He’s under direct orders from Soros to make certain BO pushes Hillary out of the way, so that the elite boyz can take control of the White House.
Someday, all of you obamabots are going to recognize that Hillary was the true patriot, who could have brought the kind of change that would have empowered the middle class. The power elite know they cannot allow that to happen. An “empowered” middle class would stand up and fight against a one world government. Got to keep the middle class down financially and totally dependent on corporatism for their livlihood.
Why do you think the boyz were so “hysterical” in their efforts to stop her? She was a real threat to their plan to destroy the sovereignty of America and their total control of ONE government.
You can bet your life that it won’t be a government “of, by and for” the people!
They’re all angry young men who hate their mothers. Sexism is a component of soft fascism, and that is where Bush put us and where we’re headed with Obama as President.
It was very gratifying to see that Senator Obama maintains a lead in the Gallup poll released today. After a long, hard fought battle in the primary, I was actually looking for him to be down a few points until at least July-August. Thankfully, the vast majority of Senator Clinton’s supporters are now supporting Obama just as Hillary is. Thankfully, things like healthcare, war, women’s reproductive rights and education are more important to them than Mr. Obama’s religious affiliation.
Out of curiosity, though, how is radical Muslim OR Christian compatible with communism, another charge leveled at Mr. Obama?
Why was it gratifying? The last thing America needs is a crooked Democratic President. Not that he can win.
Fox just reporter a 2 pt lead by Obama and the date now is June 17,2008–bambi’s shrinking, he’s shrinking and we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
NOBAMA!
Yes, Roseriter, that’s the gratifying poll I’m referring to. A two point lead right after a long, divisive primary, is more than I had hoped for. It will only get better for us from now on. As more and more Hillary supporters learn about Mr. McCain, both from progressive groups as well as Mrs. Clinton herself, the shift to Obama will continue. I humbly submit that had Hillary won the primary, which she did not and graciously admitted when she through her full support Mr. Obama, she would likely be behind right now.
Yep, really gratifying.
http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/Vote2008/story?id=5183218&page=1
That douche just isn’t going to win.
Uh, no.
That 2 point lead is DOWN from the 6 point lead he held a week ago.
The TREND for Obama is downward, dear.
HillarySupportsObamaNow -
Obama’s lead is SHRINKING. He was UP 6 points last week! Now, it’s down to 2 - that’s good news for you???? Just wait - there’s more stuff out there….
The “year of the Democrat” is melting like the Wicked Witch of the West!!!
NObama, never!
Hillary or McCain ‘08!!!
HillarySupportsObamaNow, LOL, is that post a piece of propaganda or what?
Listen, Obama is in a statistical tie with mcCain. After 8 yrs of Republican horror, he should be sailing past Mccain. He isn’t, he’s sitting there flat.
Something else you might want to deal with, Bush has a low approval rating. But the Dem led congress has an even lower approval rating. Most people don’t bother to look and see how slim the Dem majority is in congress, they simply view Congress as an example of what Dems in charge look like.
Democrats need to take this on and change the message, because to your average voter this election looks like a race between the party of 28% approval versus the party of 17% approval.
You seriously need to stop posting. You prove how foolish you are and thereby reflect badly on your candidate. Not the he could do much worse,lol.
What is Obama’s lead? You do understand that he should have a healthy two digit lead at this point due to the bump he should have gotten from his ‘nomination’(and in this cycle). If your poll numbers are national numbers, that is futile. Electoral college is allocated by state, with winner take all. If he runs this campaign in a style even remotely close to his primary campaign he will come up very, very short.
To answer your latter question Communism is a socioeconomic structure.
The link between Christianity and Communism is Black Liberation Theory.
African-Americans working for the USSR ie Frank Marshall Davis, Pamper’s earliest African-American father figure, understood that Communism’s strident atheism would turn off African-Americans.
So, James Cone creates Black Liberation Theory,wraps Marx up in swaddling clothes and puts him a manger.
Indonesia is the nexus between Islam and Communism.
“But, Obama’s half-brother is not so sure. Malik Obama tells the Jerusalem Post that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people — despite his Muslim background.
“The article was also accompanied by an image of Malik Obama holding a photo of him and Barack Obama in Muslim dress — reportedly when the two first met in 1985.”
Could someone please explain to me how his half-brother is so certain of his background when the two of them “first met in 1985″?
So now the Obama drones want America to believe Obama’s half-brother about Obama background…? How comes Obama can’t tell the American people who the F$%K is he..? PUMA. NOBAMA
Why don’t you ask Malik? I’m sure he can be found under the bus by now.
Hhahahahahahaha!
Obama’s refutation? That is not the brother I knew.
Considering they “first met in 1985,” it’s apparent that he _never_ actually “knew” his half-brother, particuarly when he grew up.
How about Obama’s reference to Koranic studies and his childhood friend remembrances about trips to the Mosque. His registrations in schools that list him a Muslim.
Oh, that’s right. That wouldn’t mean he’s Muslim.
Which by it’s very nature ( a first meeting as an adult)is likely that major religious and socializations of a person would come up.Do you think the newly found brothers inquired as to each others teeth brushing habits? More likely they got to know each other with more substantial conversation.
Why would his brother make that statement at all? He thought he was speaking favorably of Obama and defending him to Israelis.It was not even in his realm of thinking that Obama would not consider himself Muslim.
Pure conjecture, as is much of what’s claimed in here.
No, dg. Obama’s references to childhood Koranic studies are in his own book. Read it.
But, you must remember that just because it’s in Obama’s book it’s not necessarily true. Is Oprah ever going to have one of those come-to-Jesus meetings with Obama like she had with James Frey? Or is she just going to overlook all of Obama’s lies?
usually when you are the best man is someone wedding the subject of Religion comes up and since he was in Obama’s wedding and Obama was in his, I tend to believe the brother knows more about Obama than people that started following him in 2004 or later
Or people who are just paid to go on pro-Hillary websites and regurgitate prepared talking points on behalf of The Precious.
When your father is muslim… you are a muslim! That is how it works … go talk to a Muslim and educate yourself!!!
“Muslim dress”? Looks more like African clothes to me.
Liberals seem to think that Islam is some happy fuzzy religion. The whole goal of Islam is to convert the entire world and they will not stop until they do so.
To top it off, to the most muslims Hussein Obama would be considered an apostate, a traitor to their religion that is punishable by death, yet Obama would essentially be our commander in chief. Others may not have a problem with that, but I do.
I don’t care what their goals are.
They have only the power you give them.
Blow it off.
Like the poster below me noted, go spend a year in Saudi Arabia and then tell me how much power these people have….assuming you live that long as a woman in a muslim country. If you’re like any other average woman in the USofA you would last 10 minutes in a muslim country before being stoned to death.
And when I say stoned I’m not talking about bongs either…
You first paragraph is sad, but true. Islam is not a religion of peace and never was. Only the ignorant (read: “Progressives”, liberals who can’t be bothered to do anything but sit on their asses and whine about how haaaaaaard they and everyone around them have it) subscribe to that notion.
I suggest that they read the stories about experiences in Islam on this website:
http://www.apostatesofislam.com/apostates.htm
Particularly from the women. Islam is the worst religion ever created when it comes to women. Read Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Infidel” book, too.
If anyone saw one of the season finales of “American Dad!” where Stan moved the family to Saudi Arabia, that too has accurate notions as to what Islam is/how it’s like to live in a Sharia state; perfect social commentary about men who like to control their women, too.
It is always best to see what Muslims have to say about Islam, instead of us guessing about it. Here is what Muslims in the US say about the compatibility of Islam with Western democratic institutions. The following quotes from the website of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Southern California claiming Islam embodies a political ideology in which men can not chose the laws that govern them. If the quotes below are inviolate Islamic doctrine as followed by Muslims in the US, does a devout Muslim who takes an oath upon the Koran to “defend the Constitution of the United States” then make a false oath?
“Islam is the name of a way of life which the Creator wants us to follow. We avoid the word religion because in many non-Islamic societies, there is a separation of “religion and state.” This separation is not recognized at all in Islam: the Creator is very much concerned with all that we do, including the political, social, economic, and other aspects of our society. Hence, Islam is a complete way of life.”
“The Qur’an and Sunnah are the only two mediums by which Allah has directly taught us about Islam. This leads us to the following simple but critical principle: If any man or woman engages in a belief or action which clearly contradicts the Qur’an or Sunnah, then that belief or action cannot be thought of as `Islamic’ This rule applies whether the man or woman is Muslim or non-Muslim.”
“Islam is a complete way of life. Given this, it is not surprising that the Creator is concerned with the method which we choose to govern ourselves. The preeminent rule which the Islamic state must observe is stated in the Qur’an (translation follows): [4:59] O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day; That is best, and most suitable for final determination.
From this verse, it is clear that the state’s obligation of obedience to the Creator is as important as the obedience of the individual. Hence, the state must derive its law from the Qur’an and Sunnah. This principle excludes certain choices from the state’s options for political and economic systems, such as a pure democracy, unrestricted capitalism, communism, socialism, etc. For example, a pure democracy places the people above the Qur’an and Sunnah, and this is disobedience to the Creator.“
But there are extremists in every religion. I wouldn’t want to live in Saudi Arabia, and what we are allowing to be done to women’s rights in Iraq is shameful; but to me what’s relevant here is the fact that Obama does not seem to ever just tell the truth. I can’t imagine anyone not voting for him just because he practiced Islam as a child — especially when there are so many other more frightening reasons like the thought of our government being under the control of the Illinois Combine, Rezko, Ayers, Dohrn, et al.
The view that the Koran is to be the highest respected legal authority in the US, replacing our very Constitution, is a view held by the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Muslin Student Association which has chapters at many US universities. Each of these groups promotes itself as representative mainstream Muslims in America.
CAIR especially likes to compare its work on behalf of the civil rights of Muslims to the NACCP. Any supporter of the NAACP, of whatever race, creed or national origin, should find offense in that statement. CAIR is being nothing but duplicitous claiming it is for equal protection while promoting Islam to supplant the very Constitution that reserves our inalienable to right equal protection under the law.
Another super story:
http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_9508204%22%3Ehttp://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_9508204
My goodness….a story that shows there are consequences to Obama’s choices in the primary.
He better get to work fixing his own mistakes for the sake of the party, eh?
But I can’t believe the last three paragraphs of the story — Susan Greene is an idiot. She may want to stand by Obama and the DNC, but I’ll never vote for someone who is as bigoted as Obama (and unqualified and unelectable).

PS: Larry, I think the Bot’s are going after your servers….very hard to post.
“We don’t care that he was Muslim but…” is one of the most disingenuous things I’ve ever read. You have to know that, I used to read good stuff you wrote before you went off the deep end. Your purpose isn’t to find out the ‘truth’ - given that the Muslim rumor, along with many of the other bizarre things that are peddled here, have been repeatedly debunked and denied.
If you believe these rumors are true, you’re just bringing it up to try to attach “Muslim” to him, which you know will be harmful even if you say “I don’t care.” If you don’t believe these (unfounded) rumors, then you’re just peddling in smears because you hate Obama.
His father was Muslim and from Africa - that means he comes from a Muslim background. He occasionally may have - shock! - dressed in traditional African clothing, given that half his family comes from such a background. I know, it’s scary. I don’t see why his non-traditional background means that he constantly needs to answer *IMPORTANT QUESTIONS* about his birth certificate, background, etc, that have already been dealt with. Especially given that no matter what he says, you all will still hate him.
My real wonder is what’s going to happen to this site when Obama is elected given that everyone on it has lost all credibility among the people who used to read it. Either you’re going to have to descend into further lunacy to attract the few remaining people who might be interested in attacking him throughout his presidency, or the site will die an undignified death. It’s really interesting to see what happens.
Seems there is common sense and then there is ignorance, and you are on the ignorance train obviously since you haven’t a shred of proof on anything you claim, but hey that is Obama’s claim to fame isn’t it?
You’re sooooo right. People couldn’t conceivably care if someone lied about his background, it’s all got to be a smear!
You’re a giant douchebag.
Barack Sr. was also a polygamist and a drunk. But you’d never know it, reading Obama Jr.’s glowing memoir.
Was he a Mormon, too?
He is a Moron though… that’s enough for me!
Not one so called rumor has been debunked. Calling something a lie or smear does not make it untrue.
You want to defend him, let’s hear it. Explain how he was not Muslim when he was born to a Muslim father, studied the religion, was listed as a Muslim student, can recite prayers verbatim while calling them the most beautiful sound on Earth, his relatives assume he’s Muslim and he vows to stand with the Muslims.
Waiting with bated breath……
I love these “you better stop telling the truth about Obama or we’re going to punish you” posts.
They remind me of the punishment meted out to a college professor who left his wife of many years and started having a fling with a rather dim-witted but well-endowed young female student. The other faculty members punished him by not inviting him to the faculty tea.
So, SusanUnPC, how ever will you be able to go on if all the Obamabutts stop reading your website? Oh, the humanity!
The people who voted in the primary were the party activists; and, once the vetting of Senator Obama began in January 2008, those people voted overwhelmingly for Senator Clinton. I trust that, once the rest of the voters learn what we did about the man - and more - they, too, will get off the bus, that is, assuming they ever got on in the first place.
The vetting is not over yet. Its just begun to scratch the surface.
Obama will not be elected in November. Count on it.
http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/2008Election.html
It’s funny how these Obamatrons have convinced themselves that the mothership can win in Novemeber.
THis nation is not going to elect the buddy of Nation of Islam.
Just imagine the kind of appointees that B Hussein Obama Winfrey is going to make. All throughout the Federal agencies.. He’s already proven that he likes to hang out with the most vile kinds of America Haters…
He will never set foot in the White House
Sheesh, you can’t even spell November, much less know what it holds in store.
Racist Hillbots aren’t needed to win in November, we’ll do just fine without ya.
Typing is not spelling. I’m multitasking at work and could care less if I type smething wrong.
But when that’s all you got. Oh you called me a racist too. How typical.
I’m not a Democrat, so I haven’t supported Clinton in the past.. only when the vile Obama and media launched a war on her have I come to have some respect for her seeing how she didnt give up.
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less.
Every time you call a Hillary supporter a racist, you drive away another vote Obama will need to win in November.
Think about that.
SO we are racist again? So you are what? is Obama the affirmative action canidate? Must we vote for him because he is black? We can’t question him out of the fear of being called a name. Why don’t you quit your name calling and explain how and why Obama is telling the truth. Or do you know it is a lie… but it is okay?
I think Oprah would actually make a wonderful VP choice for Obama. She would definitely shore up the white female vote. An Obama/Winfrey ticket would be unstoppable, a true dream ticket.
Excellent snark!
FreedomFighter:
Oprah??? Bwaaahahahahahahah!!!! Since endorsing the empty suit, her ratings have been dropping faster than an anvil pushed over the cliff by the roadrunner. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her audience was primarily the same as Hillary’s base. DUH. yep, a good match for him.
Now,…go check your underoos…I think you made a doodee in your pants.
Just like an Obama supporter…wanting to elect someone with no experience to be President! Obama/a pair of shoes… huh huh, that would get the women vote… and you fuks wonder why we will vote for mccain…
I personally am mostly glad you stated you don’t really care about the Muslim issue.
My son got caught up in that movement. He became Muslim. He showed up for Christmas one year in a flowing white gown outfit. (I’m the difficult mother who said, is the camel out back?)
He announced he was against Christmas. He refused to help me decorate.
Howeover, he’d checked with his mentor and it was OK to take the presents.
LOL*
This a story of a liberal mother. I doubt many will relate,but I share it in honesty.
Now, I”m fortunate. He wante to go to Indonesia to study to become a Muslim teacher.
I was frantic, of course.
My friend at work calmed me. She said, “AnninCA, the women in his circles are all Scots……cute little freckled nosed girls. Relax.”
I am just not bugged out by the Muslim stuff.
Here’s what happened.
He and his UCLA buds went up to Berkley for a meeting.
His UCLA buds,who were mostly all medical school guys/computer geeks out the true yin-yang…
Came back scared to death.
LOL*
The real deal?
Oh, that wasn’t in the plan.
Today, my kid voted for Hillary in the primary and is for Obama now.
But…..he says…….if Democratis don’t win this one?
I’m done.
I hear him.
Who wants to keep working for a loser party?
They either win?
Or this year?
It’s done. The liberal elite is toast.
Yeah, as opposed to those not so cute real muslim girls?
As Tim Wise of counterpunch.org said: your whiteness is showing!
Only a racist would consider whiteness (or blackness, or any other colorness) an insult. You hurt Bambi a tiny bit with every post you make. Keep it up!
The libreal Elite messed it up, Obama is unqualified… no matter who endorses him, it is a joke. Democrats are not as loyal as Republicans, we won’t elect a gwbush… even if he is our own.
Rush Limbaugh would like to thank all the remaining Hillbots that are going to adamantly support their losing cause until the very end.
Their Monty Pythonesque “Black Knight” devotion to a hopeless cause would be humorous were it not so sad.
“No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her” -Susan B Anthony, 1872
I’d like to think that by supporting Hillary through the convention in Denver and after if needs be I am standing by my beliefs and I am not supporting the Party–but I am supporting a candidate that I believe in. Country first, Party second. I am now a registered Independent. I don’t like Kool Aid.
“There’s nothing wrong with you that reincarnation won’t cure.

Obamatrons, read it and weep. You are all getting pimped.
It’s called getting “Watergated” — these children were either in the womb or in underoos and never read their history books. McGovern anyone?
Yes. Yossarian is too stupid to realize that Rove & Limbaugh urged Republicans to become “Dems for a Day” and vote FOR Obama , so they’d have the candidate they wanted to run against McCain in November: the weakest one available.
Those “Dems for a Day” that helped Obama win the primary won’t be back in November.
They’ll be laughing all the way to voting booth, where they’ll vote for John McCain.
Is BO Sunni or Shia?
Who knows. He’s a flip-flopper.
OMG so funny..flip flopper lol, ha ha flip flopper, get it? LOL:)
Yes. Obama’s a liar like Bush and a flip-flopper like Kerry. Who could have imagined that Dean and Brazile would let the Republicans choose a candidate for the Party Formerly Known as Democratic who would exemplify the worst characteristics of both? Helluva job, Howie.
Party formly known as Democratic… we should make a symbol, like prince when he changed his name. He is a flip flopper…and “a waffler”..
I guess Obama’s half-brother didn’t hear about going to “Fight The Smears” to check this stuff first!
ROFLMAO!!!
18,000,000 Obamabots have just e-mailed the Jerusalem Post and the Half-bro..to let them know about the site!!!
What a scream!
It IS amusing to watch the Bots blame Hillary or her supporters for Obama’s own half-brother’s comment.
Are they suggesting that Obama’s half-brother is lying?
LOL
I posted this a few weeks ago but to those who did not read it: His three wise men.
EXCERPTS FROM AN INTERVIEW OF OBAMA/MARXIST BY CATHLEEN FASANI AT A CHICAGO CAFÉ RIGHT AFTER HE WON THE PRIMARY FOR SENATE.
CASUALLY STRAIGHTENING HIS TIE WITH ONE HAND AS HE HOLDS THE DOOR FOR A STRANGER WITH THE OTHER, THE YOUNG POLITICIAN STRIDES INTO THE CAFÉ ON CHICAGO’S SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE, GREETING THE COUNTER GUY BY NAME AND FLASHING A BIG GRIN AT THE REST OF THE ROOM. He grabs a bottled protein shake from the cooler in the back and settles at a table near the soft-drink dispenser, doffing his suit jacket along the way.
When he is in Chicago, he attends the 11:00 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the working-class Brainerd neighborhood every week – or at least as many weeks as he is able. But how exactly did he become a churchgoer? It began in 1985, when he arrived in Chicago as a $13,000-a-year community organizer, working with a number of African-American churches in the struggling Roseland, West Pullman, and Altgeld Gardens neighborhoods, which were dealing with the devastation caused by shuttered steel plants.
[So, was he sleeping while he was at those 11:00 a.m. services? Guess he was up at night studying those
Saul Alinsky Radical Organizing tactics because you never know when you might need them when … well even though you said you were not qualified to run for president after you won the senate seat …. Things (I mean money) changes.]
[Here is his nice little choir boy:]
Obama has many friends in the clergy who help keep his moral compass set, such as the Reverend Michael Pfleger, a white Roman Catholic priest and pastor of St. Sabina Church, a mostly black activist congregation in the rough Auburn-Gresham community on Chicago’s South Side. “I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you’ve got to face God,” says Pfleger, who has known Obama for almost twenty years. “Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father. I don’t think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is.”
[And just in case he is not quite getting his mojo going at Trinity there is that sweet talking Pastor Meeks. You know him from YouTube fame.]
Another person Obama seeks out for spiritual counsel is Illinois State Senator James Meeks, who is also the pastor of Chicago’s Salem Baptist Church and heir apparent to the helm of the Reverend Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. The day after Obama won the primary in March 2004, he stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study. “I know that he’s a person of prayer,” Meeks says. “The night after the election, he was the hottest thing going from Galesburg to Rockford. He did all the TV shows, and all the morning news, but his last stop at night was for church. He came by to say thank you, and he came by for prayer.”
Yeah, that ole’ Barack he’s a real rock star.
Why, I could no longer disown ……….

Oh my! I followed your link Larry to the “Israeli Insider”…..thank God for people like you. The MSM is not covering this at all.
Wright is a former “power-Muslim” in Chicago or converted (my guess for the $$$$) to a “power-Christian”. First time I had heard this information.
Also, Obama was a 100% Muslim when he was younger….I can’t believe he continues to lie to the American People.
He is not worthly of even the current office he holds….

did you read the full article?
They way the pieces all fall together as presented makes a very convincing and logical argument. Whats disturbing is that none of the information is new. its just placed in sequence and presented for consumption.
We aren’t talking about who is going to win the state highschool footbal championship here.
The Office of POTUS is serious business and the forces involved and invested are significant.
truly frightening to see how little the voters really do matter to them.
but i do want to add one thing.
Much like Darth Vader is a greater sith lord than Darth Sidious

where is the link to the article?
No Link = no validity to the actual source.
Did you even read the thing?
I did, but i am missing it.

Spell it out.
We will keep you appraised as to the status of this former stronghold of the Senator’s and let you know if we spot any paid fainters at any futre Senator Obama rally’s
I did some research for you and found this tidbit at http://www.puffingtonpost.com
I have to disagree that being exposed to Islam at a young age is a plus for Obama? How so? If anything, it seems to have warped his sense of what Christianity is. While he gives accolades to Islamic law, which Barack has done in the past, his religious beliefs are an anathema to Christianity. He may call himself a Christian, but his beliefs do not support Christian dogma.
His professed religious beliefs are of no relevance — in truth, Obama only worships Obama.

Whether you’re embittered Hillary suppporters or Republicans in disguise, I don’t know. But one thing is clear: You people are wingnuts.

I do have a problem with his muslim background and I wish people would stop pretending as though there is nothing wrong with islam, pretending that it is no different from other religions, when clearly it is especially violent and oppressive.

Having lived in a relatively liberal Muslim culture for 6 years, it was less violent than America, but more controlled as far as gender roles were concerned. Yet gays were not seen as particularly offensive — until after the Iranian revolution at least.
While traveling in the region, I wore the local Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist dress on occasion. No big deal.

It’s interesting too that Rev Wright was originally Muslim and that the Church based on Black Liberation Theology seem to have close ties with Nation of Islam and had Muslim contributions in their church newsletter. I’ve read that Rev Wright was being guarded by Nation of Islam bodyguards. I’ve also read though don’t know if it’s true that people have called to find out whether they could remain Muslim and still be a member of Trinity Church and they were allegedly told Yes. The Black liberation Theology would seem to be an unusual version of Christianity which pits Black God against White God? So how can we even be sure that Trinity Church is truly a Christian church? I don’t know, I’m just wondering…. Perhaps I’ve read too much about Revelations (ya know false prophets and all)?
POdVet, you are a liar. You are neither a vet nor a Democrat.
[...] SusanUnPC explained in her excellent piece, “Brit Hume Raises the Question of Barack Obama’s Muslim Background,” Obama is going to great lengths to distance himself from his own heritage. Why else would [...]
I have believed along that something weird is going on. One of the main reasons is how the media has totally ignored the proof of Obama not being fit to be a nominee - let alone President.
OMG - October is going to be interesting or should I say scary.
Obama will never be President.
I would like to know how many of Obama’s supporters have contributed money, because his “grass roots fund raising” on the internet does not add up. I know that when Oprah stumped for him, everyone in the audience was asked to leave there name and address. I believe that Oprah and/or some other groups are contributing funds using these names. They keep the contributions under the $250 limit so they do not have to be reported.
