OBAMA AUTHOR ANDY MARTIN ACCUSES BARACK OBAMA OF “SMEARING THE TRUTH” ABOUT OBAMA’S CHILDHOOD RELIGION
Legendary Chicago Internet columnist and Obama author Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference Monday, June 16th to charge that Barack Obama is “smearing the truth” about Obama’s childhood religion. Martin will challenge Obama to sue Martin for defamation.
Martin’s book, Obama: The Man Behind the Mask, is now in pre-publication sales and goes to the printer June 18th. See http://orangestatepress.com.
Martin is universally credited with first exposing Obama’s Muslim heritage in 2004. Andy has been attacked as the mastermind of a vast “right-wing smear machine,” a charge he vehemently denies and for which there is no proof.
“Barry Obama flatly denies that he was ever a Muslim,” Martin will state. That is simply not true.”

“I challenge Senator Obama to sue me for defamation if he truly wants to perpetuate the myth that he had no ties to the Muslim religion. I will waive all of the traditional First Amendment defenses (”Public figure,” “actual malice,” etc.) and will interpose only one defense in support of my claims: truth,” Martin will state at his news conference.
Martin, a former CUNY adjunct professor of law, says Obama is lying to the American people. “Obama has concocted this ‘Fight the Smears’ web site to propagate propaganda and false information. It is one of the most cynical ploys in American political history.
“Frankly, in opposition to every mainstream media, I think the ‘Smears’ site will prove to be a disaster for Obama.
“Already an Israeli internet magazine has produced a purported article—which I have been unable to verify at the Jerusalem Post—claiming that Obama’s brother says his brother was a Muslim and that Obama comes from a Muslim family:
Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a Muslim http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12918.htm
Is Barack Obama a Muslim wolf in Christian wool? http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12745.htm
“But an earlier article by the highly-respected New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof says more to me and, I believe, most common sense, clear-thinking adults: Obama admitted to Kristof that Obama was in ‘Koran study classes.’ More critically, forty years later, i.e. almost forty years after leaving Jakarta, ‘Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.’
“Where did Mr. Obama learn to pray in Arabic, and develop a ‘first rate [Arabic] accent?’ At the Nation of Islam in Chicago? Or in Jakarta where he was a Muslim student for sure?
“I am reminded that some Jesuit Catholic priests say ‘give us a boy until he is 7, and we have him for life.’ http://forum.catholic.org/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=35646&sid=a7f55a506c1b8be8a8500d510a809153
“Forty years later, Obama retained a ‘first-rate accent’ in Arabic and could recite a Muslim prayer. They had some pretty good religious teachers in Jakarta. And Obama was not a Muslim during his childhood? The Muslims had Obama until he was 9 or 10. They beat the Catholic test.
“Once more I want to stress two principles that I have stated so often:
“First, I do not question that Obama is a Christian today. But Obama has always tried to obscure his childhood religion by thumping his chest about his current religion. Christianity is an open religion, he was free to join, and he did. I have always accepted that principle.
“Second the issue is not whether Obama was a Muslim until he left Jakarta around the age of 10. The evidence is overwhelming that he was; that evidence was best extracted by Nick Kristof.
“The issue is that Obama blatantly lies and tries to reinvent his past, because he is afraid of retaliation for his childhood religion. I think he would get more votes if he told the truth, certainly more than he is going to lose by telling a lie. Muslims vote too. The issue, therefore, is not ‘religion’ in fact, but his relentless pursuit of propaganda and disinformation to obscure what that religion was up to the age of 10.
“Obama was never much of a lawyer, and he never tried a lawsuit in court, but even from his Harvard student books he should have learned that dissembling and evasion are crucial to credibility. When Obama lies about the truth, the fact that he is willing to lie is a critical aspect of his character.
“Obama’s entire ‘Fight the Smears’ web site is itself a smear of Islam, and a smear of the truth. Obama uses his ‘defense’ of smears to propagate smears, and to produce relentless lies and disinformation. It is on that basis that I challenge him and his fitness to sit in the Oval Office.
“I also challenge Obama to sue me for defamation concerning my claims about his religion. The only defense I will offer is ‘truth.’ I don’t care what religion his mom and dad and step dad chose for him; I do care that he lies about those objective truths and facts, and continues to do so brazenly and blatantly. No one can read Kristof’s 2007 column and come away believing Obama’s lies. He studied the Koran, and he still speaks Koranic Arabic with a ‘first-rate accent.’ How many non-Muslims can recite Islamic prayers the way Obama can?
“Contrary to what Obama claims, this Internet author is propagating the truth about Obama’s religious past, not ’smears’ and not ‘lies.’ I have no interest in publishing false information. Obama is the liar, plain and simple. Stop it Barry. Or sue me.”

was this suppossed to be July 16?
And, we’ll hear nothing from the DBM.
Finally someone is addressing this issue that has been bugging me since he came on the scene. Everyone, even conservative radio, has been avoiding the facts of his back ground.
Yeah.....but the MSM ignored the swiftboat charges too....and that didn’t work out to well for their candidate.
My guess is big media will get out in front on this and attack, attack, attack.
Otherwise Barry will go the way of Kerry.
No kidding. We are witnessing it daily. With every breath he takes, he lies about something - positions on issues he held in the past, not knowing Rev. Wright was a hate monger, his childhood - and he has shown his propensity to make others the scapegoat and throw them under the bus when they become a liability to him. This man's audacity is not one of "hope," but one of dangerous incompetence and deceit.

I don't know who you listen to, but I hear Hannity pound it on a daily basis, along with Wright, Ayers, Michelle (My belle) etc..
Levin is on it on a regular basis. Beck hits it from time to time and I have heard Rush mention it (I can't listen to him to often he is on while I am working) as well
What’s interesting is that BO thinks that calling him a Muslim is a smear.
I’d suggest that its a good thing this fellow Martin is a “former” “adjunct” law professor since his understanding of the law of defamation is laughable at best. Martin postures about Obama’s credibility. I have to wonder why he believes anyone ought to give him the time of day given his abysmal misunderstanding of the law; “I challenge Senator Obama to sue me for defamation....” indeed! What a showboating dope!
Read this:
http://theobamafile.com/ObamaIslam.htm
The evidence is overwhelming.
It's too late for the faux messiah to figure out, but I think most Americans could care less if he was a Muslin up until the age of ten.
Now he has to live with that lie and spend time, money and resources to keep covering it up
Being a muslin at age ten is meaningless when for the last twenty years he has attended a black nationalist theology hate filled church, that has poisoned his mind far more than Muslin indoctrination until age ten. Also bear in mind the radical Muslin indoctrination wasn't being pushed when he was a child
And yet he consistently leads McCain in almost every poll taken anywhere for any almost reason (including historically "red" states). Note I say "almost". Occasionally, a poll will show an internal that McCain is "leading" but overall results consistently favor Obama regardless of any "news".
His handlers are doing their jobs well!
One can only hope the American people are paying attention.
“First, I do not question that Obama is a Christian today.”
I beg to differ.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
It's one thing to call it false, it's another to call it a "smear."
BO's campign should definately be the laughing stock campaign of the century, but some are actually too willfully stupid to call it what it is truly becoming...
A DISASTER!
Liar liar pants on fire
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. paying attention... HAHAHAHAHA
... sorry
