I totally agree. It makes conservatives look stupid if you use a false quote like this - with actual quotation marks around it, which is dead wrong. From all indications, the actual quote was "with them" rather than "with the Muslims," leaving you to figure out who "them" is by looking at the statement in context. No doubt it is subject to interpretation, and could easily be argued to be "Arab and Pakistani Americans" rather than the generic "Muslims."
That being said, I have no doubt that he stands with Muslims in his own mind and belief system, simply based upon his many statements and actions. These also indicate that he has a preference for Islam over Christianity from a cultural and political standpoint, although he's obviously a God-less man.
We not only lose arguments with fake information, we lose credibility, most of us would feel very humiliated to use false quotes and then have our heads handed to us in front of the audience that we were trying to win to our side.
Most of us just flat can’t lie, or tolerate such a blatant lie.
A thread like this should be removed.
Before I had my coffee this morning I almost used this quote because it looked so clean and straight forward, thankfully I dragged myself back, to do due diligence, and found out that the thread poster had made it up.
