Barack Obama sets up internet 'war room' to fight slurs

A crack team of cybernauts will form a rapid response internet war room to track and respond aggressively to online rumours that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim.
As he gears up for his general election fight against John McCain, Mr Obama and his chief advisers are aware of the danger of such rumours, amid polling data showing that a significant number of Americans believe he is a Muslim or are suspicious about his background. Such doubts were a factor in his poor showing with white, blue-collar voters during his primary battle with Hillary Clinton.
In recent days Mr Obama has unprompted brought up the subject of the chain e-mails and blog sites making the false claims. Some state that he is a radical Muslim who was sworn in as a US senator on the Koran; others that he sympathises with Palestinian radicals. Many focus on his middle name of Hussein, which was taken from his Kenyan father.
Referring to the e-mails in a speech last week to AIPAC, the powerful Jewish lobby, Mr Obama said: They are filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for president and all I want to say is, Let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama because he sounds pretty scary.

So you're gonna 'separate' them out? How? By their signup dates? By what they say? If what they say doesn't agree with what you think? I'd just like to know. I hate Hillary (have ever since I saw her come on the scene in the early 90s nationally), I won't vote for McCain, so I guess that makes me for Obama, huh?
Actually, I dislike Obama pretty much, but not as bad as Hillary and more than McCain, but I'm not voting for McCain because of just dislike. I think he's the death knell for the GOP's allegiance to conservatism.

Who cares if he is or isn’t a mooslim. He has too much baggage and it gets heavier every time he opens his mouth.

"...A crack team of cybernauts..."
OOOOH....scary!!! Unemployed (unemployable?) Democrats with keyboards.... Now that's really fearsome.
Given his constituency, I'd say a team of crack-heads is more likely.
In the likely event that any of you are trolling in our pond, trying to ascribe some horrible racist intent to our ramblings, here's my take on why I personally can't stand your saint.
IT'S HIS POLITICS, STUPID!!!
I don't like him.
It's not because he's "Black", I couldn't care less about that (he's not really "Black", BTW, his mother was white after all), it's because we know he's a Communist. Call him what you want. Feel whatever you want. But if you look at his record, and listen to what he says, and examine the legislation he actually manages to show up for work to vote on, for those of us who actually know what one looks and acts like, he's a Communist. There was a time when that was a very bad thing to be in America. I hope to God it still is.
You see, we don't like Communists here. We didn't like them in their old "Red" costumes. We don't like them in the their new "Green" costumes. Just because he's "Black" doesn't mean he gets a pass on that here. He might get a pass on MSNBC (because they are Communists too, only they are too stupid to realize it), he might get a pass on CNN (must I explain again?), but he won't get one here, ever - even if he does manage to hustle his way onto Pennsylvania Ave. If you think we're bad now, wait until that happens. We will hound his every step. We will expose every little trick he pulls, and every lie he utters.
Communists are responsible for the enslavement and murder of hundreds of millions of people. Many of us here have dedicated decades of our lives to eradicating Communism throughout the planet, and we certainly don't want one in charge here.
The sad thing is that if you support him, you are being led down a path that you don't even understand. His people have handled him so adroitly, that he looks like a man of substance, when in reality he really has accomplished nothing. He reads the teleprompter pretty well, but he can't extemporize at all. The real world will eat his lunch, and sadly, ours with him.
We, as a nation, are being led into a very dangerous situation on a wave of white guilt. If anyone actually believes that he's going to "unite" us, you've got a big surprise coming. Whether you are poor black folks or rich white folks, he will drop you like a hot rock as soon as you no longer serve his political purposes. Once he's used you to get power, you'll be an embarrassment, and a reminder that he couldn't get there w/o callously exploiting you.

I have friends who are convinced he’s a Muslim and that Hillary would have been better because at least she wouldn’t hurt the US the way Obama could.

Aw, shucks. Only those two things? I was hoping Barack's Cybernuts would address other rumors...such as the one about the existence of an over-the-top racist rant by Michelle Obama caught on DVD. 'Cause Barack sure didn't deny it when asked about it...

The way we know Obama is a muslim is because if he
wasn't, CAIR would have him in court for issuing this directive.
I bet we never hear a peep from CAIR about Obama... the dog that didn't bark (or sue).

I don't know how Jewish people could vote for a guy who belonged to a church that praises Farrakhan. All non black Americans and patriots should have a big problem with Berry's 20 year connection to racist and socialist mentors.

But.. but... they aren’t radicals, they’re oppressed, the left says so.
/ end sarc prodding of the left.
In the eyes of the left, there is no such thing as a radical if it’s one of the so-called Palestinians.
They’re, in the eyes of the left, ‘freedom fighters’.
So in Bama’s eyes, that’s true.
Expect the let to try and spin that should it get viewed by more than ‘just us’.
(Anyone feel like sending Bama’s statement out, and the link when the time comes?)

To: bassmaner
If you want to call him a Commie, that’s OK with me. I think that a more accurate description is that he is a Crypto-Marxist, because he is hiding what he truly is, while portraying himself as a left of center moderate.
To: pissant
Oh this should be fun.
I heard that Barak is a Muslim and unpatriotic. I also heard he is Arab and not black.
( Lets see how good that war room is :-)
