Sometimes it’s easier to go to “view source” and cut and paste the html code with its formatting, so that you don’t end up with a block of packed letters. Then you don’t have to re-code the format.
It doesn’t take an investigative journalist to know that Obama’s repeated statement that he has “never” been a Muslim is a FLAT OUT LIE.
First, his father was a Muslim, which automatically makes his child a Muslim in Muslim eyes.
Second, his stepfather was a Muslim, and that, too, would have automatically made him a Muslim if he wasn’t already.
Third, he was registered as a Muslim in his Catholic school in Indonesia. (It was NOT a Madrassah, and no one who has looked into it says that it was.)
Fourth, he studied the Quran for year while in school.
Fifth, he attended service in mosques in Indonesia.
Sixth, he told a reporter that he loved the sound of the Muslim prayer, and proceeded to recite it.
We don’t know when, or for that matter, if, he ceased to be a Muslim. But he most certainly was a Muslim in his early days. And although Muslims hate apostates, and issue fatwas calling for their deaths when the learn about them, Muslims everywhere are suspiciously fond of Obama. His all-Muslim relatives in Kenya welcomed him and dressed him up as a Muslim. And no one has issued a fatwa, the way they did against Salman Rushdie and any other public apostates I have ever heard about.
In other words, Obama is a liar, and the Washington Post is complicit in his lies.
DOH!
I forgot about that! LOL.
Though sometimes that includes a lot of junk that one would be wise to leave out of an FR post . . . like ads.
No one told you to sit down and shut up, stand up and yell all you want. I’m just pointing out that if you do so from a position of ignorance all you’re going to attract is the ignorant. If that’s what you’re going for, knock yourself out.
There is a lot to be concerned and alarmed about concernig the MSM. Their domination and propaganda of information dissemination being chief among them. But that has been true for 40 years.
But one thing we don’t have to worry about is them trying to shut FR down. Look to DU, Move On, KOS or some of the other neo fascist jack booted thugs for that.
If you can’t recognize your enemy, how are you going to defeat them? You’re only shadow boxing while the real enemy slips under your radar and knifes you in the back.
BTW - The disaffected, angry bannees of FR more commonly known as anti-freepers have done far more damage to this site then the Post or Times and most of the anti-FR “hit pieces” you see are mostly self inflicted.
Anyone who thinks there isn’t a segment of participants here who are racist, violent or bigoted have their heads up their bums. Does that mean the site is racist? No, but the bad apples give all of us a black eye.
However, it has been my experience that the majority of people banned from FR have been because of their loyalties to the opposition. Awhile back we had someone who turned out to be a loyal fan of Keith Obermann who appeared in an FR thread and thankfully he was banned shortly afterwards.
The reason people like myself address this issue of media bias in such stron terms are because there are still those who seem to eat up everything the MSM says. The reality is that there's a lot at stake here in this election and that is why people like myself address this issue so strongly. It may seem to some as though I'm saying the sky is falling but the truth is in some cases it is and this is something that does need to be adressed if America is going to have a future.
And while there may be a few bad apples here at FR. The vast majority of people here do share the same concerns that I have for the future of this country. When Jimrob established FR. he made it clear that this was a website for conservatives only. This is called freedom of association as defined in the first amendment.
The bottom line here is we all stick toghether or we all hang toghether. Simple as that.

Great post potlatch!
FR is slooooow -
FR-Yahoo! is saying they are offline
Esp. on certain threads
Possible DNS attack on FR threads?
You can't prove a negative (Barack is NOT a Christian) under the rules by which Obama is playing.
Being a Christian and being a muslim are mutually exclusive.
We've seen paperwork identifying him as a muslim enrolled in a school in Indonesia. We are told this paperwork was legit but in error.
We've seen quotes from his own book saying that he attended Koranic study classes (and goofed off). But these religious studies also reportedly don't make him a muslim.
And why is he not a muslim? Because they claim he was a Christian at that time. FINE. Show a SINGLE document from a church that he WAS following Christian studies (baptism certificate, first communion, confirmation, etc.).
Where is the papertrail to show he WAS a Christian? There IS a papertrail to show he may have been a muslim.
The Obama campaign TELLING me he was a Christian will need evidence. The current evidence is to the contrary.
Any post on FR that violates this warning “Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.” is fair game for the abuse button and can result in that comment being purged.
I agree with this stance. If someone (even a long term poster) is in violation, drop the comment to keep the offense from derailing the thread (they can become lighting rods for all of the subsequent comments.
Even trolls are zotted and often have their post pulled rather than letting it derail a thread.
The press plays it off that we are xenophobic and intolerant for suspecting that Obama may have been a muslim.
It isn’t that he may have been a muslim (not by choice), it is that he vigorously denies it despite a lot of evidence to the contrary.
And his claims at Christianity are baseless. He has no facts to back it up until he attends Pastor Wright’s church for 20 years and we aren’t supposed to talk about their version of Christianity.
But Mitt Romney’s Mormonism was made a factor in the election by the press. Harry Reid’s Mormonism has never been a factor. Never saw a poll asking how many Americans thought he would be unfit to ascend to the presidency because he is a Mormon.
Those cars that were vandalized had anti-Obama AND anti-McCain graffiti on them. The anti-McCain details are found in the content of the news reports, they are not to be found in the headline.
The media is in the tank for Obama and some suspect that Drudge is too.
There was also pro-Hillary literature found at the scene.
for later for me

We can first selectively pick off just one representative TV network - the worst
CBS
NBC
ABC
I*d say NBC is the worst now - and also a profiting partner of Iran
The others will get the message
so they really think that anyone would believe that Barack Obama is a Christian or Jewish name?
“I can’t vote for him. He’ not an American.” ``Cheech’s Mom.
I haven’t read this thread so don’t know what’s been posted about the TV networks. I just responded to your post and mentioned the Google thing.
I haven’t watched network news in years!
Well - the first ‘black President’ is under there, lol.
.
The Washington Post is leading the Obama campaign train -
WaPo’s record of fakeroo journalists continues -
[The Washington Post is leading the Obama campaign train ]
Lol, I know! A minute ago it was about the networks. I need to go find a silly thread I can understand!!
