Obama is just John Kerry with Big Ears.

It is not difficult to understand why Barack Obama has a fear of scarves.
In the 17 months he's been pursuing the presidency, the senator has faced a crude and shameless campaign from conservative pundits, GOP functionaries and assorted ignoramuses in the peanut gallery to prove him a secret Muslim -- a ''Manchurian candidate,'' as one put it -- trained from birth to subvert America from within and, I don't know, make us all eat falafels or something.
On about a half-second of intelligent reflection, the flaw in that theory is apparent: If unfriendly forces had indeed inserted a secret Muslim among us, said Muslim would have blonde hair, blue eyes, flag pins out the wazoo and a name like Joe Smith. Too bad intelligent reflection is a stranger to the people in question. With a grim fanaticism, they seize upon every perceived crumb of Obama's ''Muslim-ness'' to press their case, using everything from his middle name to his disdain for the cheap patriotism of the American flag lapel pin to a photo of him wearing native dress on a trip to Somalia.

Wow!
No bias in this sonuvabitch...
Someone should ask him to explain all the Muslim history and Muslim background in Obama’s life and book.
Which one of these is not muzzie?
Barak Hussein Mohammed Obama
That’s not the falafel I knew...
Barak has a brother named Malik who IS a professed Muslim and says his brother was raised a Muslim.
And in the Muslim world, once a Muslim, always a muslim, or they become an infidel and are sentenced to death.
One cannot just walk away from the muslim cult without being severely reprimanded.
Well imagine that...a biased leftist on the Miami Herald. Who woulda thunk it!
Obama is just John Kerry with Big Ears.
When liberals like Pitts go to disprove something, it usually is true. Barack is a Mooselimb.
What was the theory on the other thread? When the WaPo came down on FR for the BC story, the theory was, "Aha! Judging by their reaction, there must be something to it that bothers them!"
So when this idiot writes, "Too bad intelligent reflection is a stranger to the people in question..." you're all too eager to go after him...why again?
Since he has little argument, there's no need to go after his logic and thus, no need to bother with the guy at all.
And heaven forfend that this whole thing could be a perfect-storm rope-a-dope, where they let the right get worked up and finger pointing, and then just pull out the trump card.
Well, I go put my flamesuit on now. It's hard to safely offer a counter-opinion to the mob on FR these days.
What does this guy have against Muslims?
Well good. Then Barack has at least one thing in common with GW Bush.
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.
From that article:
“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
From that article:
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name ‘Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. … Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?
The answer is plain...we can't.
His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.
I believe Obama is a Luo tribal name. Most Luo are not Muslim.
I believe he is not a Muslim...his comment about “clinging to their God” tells me he is following in the footsteps of he mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, in that, like her, he is most likely an atheist.
Mubarak Hussein Obama was born to a MUSLIM father. Now why would a Muslim father raise his son as a Christian ??
I think they're selling "FReeper flame resistant undies" now....... but seriously, what makes me mad about this article is the fact that he fails to point out that Hillary and her minions attacked Obama, not "conservative pundits, GOP functionaries".
So he shouldn't be ignored for LYING! He should be called out on it!
Jeff and George might have some data to counter this Obamabot.
In the past month or so, with all the bad realities/garbage we have on Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas is being spiked, hidden, ignored or laughed at by most of the MSM. Or laughed at by klowns like this fake journalist,LEONARD PITTS JR. .
The latest is the attack of the Compost by one of Obama’s elitist left wing politically correct Black Racist Professor on Free Republic, Beckwith and other Freepers.
The mediots and their elite left wing owners put $inator Hill out of the race, and now they are doing anything to defend Obama to put McCain out of the race to make Obama appear to be the great Messiah, who will save America.
What deals has Obama and his handlers made with the elite MSM owners behind closed elite doors?
We know the shaky financial realities most of the owners of the MSM outlets face.
If the trends continue against them, few if any will be around by the next big election in 2012.
Did Obama promise federal funding if he is elected or bailouts like the one Chrysler got decades ago if the MSM elites and their mediots protect and shield Obama to get him elected?
They are counting on something to save them, and it appears to be electing Obama as POTUS.
Being outed as a Muslim = Political death in the general election. He's already once experienced the wrath of the 'Bible clingers' and the 'gun clingers' in two crucial states.
The Obama adverts in Florida have him touting his “Kansan values”.
With fairy tales such as this from the candidate himself, I see no reason not to explore his Muslim side.
