Obama rips Fox News
POlitico.com ^ | 8/20/08 | KENNETH P. VOGEL

Posted on 08/20/2008 6:18:12 PM PDT by hole_n_one

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) personally went on the attack Wednesday on a best-selling new book that falsely describes him as a closet Muslim.

Talking about "The Obama Nation," Obama said author Jerome Corsi was just making "stuff up."

“But it gets a lot of play on Fox News,” he said to loud boos.

The news network has interviewed Corsi.

Obama said GOP attackers have "been very good at campaigning,” and he added that they'd try to make him out to be scary and risky.

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

His internal polls must be even worse than what we are seeing. We’re in his head!

I love it when a plan comes together.

Either way, looks like the Donkeys lose in November, and, given the high gas prices and the anti-domestic-drilling fiasco of the Donkeys, they might lose bigger than just the top office.

Congress's approval rating is way below Bush's. And unlike Bush, Congress is running again.

I'd like to see a little documentation on his baptism--if any.

Does anyone seriously believe that a member of the "intellectual" far left can really be religious? The "church" Obama attended for 20 years preached Black Liberation Theology! BLT is not just Marxist, but a very violent form of it which advocates the revolutionary overthrow of the American government (same thing for Bill Ayers' Weather Underground). It is communist! And there is no room for (true) religion in communist ideology. Please go to my FR Home page and check out the section on Black Liberation Theology.

Obama doesn’t care about the baby getting the medical attention, just whether or not the aborting mother is burdened.

Right Barry-- care about the skank mother who couldn't keep her dam legs closed, who was probably drunk out of her mind and/or on drugs when doing the nasty in an irresponsible way and ended up preggo---yeah that kind of person deserves rights over an innocent baby...wonder what Jesus would be saying about that choice...BABYKILLERBARACK!

‘..He couldn’t last 1/2 day in GW Bush’s shoes..’

exactly! In addition to having all the world’s problems on his shoulders, President Bush had to deal with nasty personal names/comments from the lib media, the low life Dims like Pelosi and Reid and some disloyal RINO’s ......and, the man never lost his cool. How in the world does Obama believe he can be President of the greatest country in the world when he can’t handle criticism from a book writer??
I pray God will protect America from an Obama presidency.

With NO experience and associates like Ayers, you qualify for both scary and risky. Get used to it.

Preach it sister...

Falsely describes him as a closet Muslim? His childhood friends say he was a Muslim, his brother says he was a Muslim, his teachers say he was a Muslim, his school records say he was a Muslim, he went to pray at a mosque, he took Koranic studies...sounds like he was a Muslim to me, no matter how much he may deny it now.

Interesting book. Wonder if Obamao will sue like Scary threatened to do. Lots of undeniable stuff there.

P 302—out of context—that is why we took great pains to make it clear Obama did not attend a madrassa when he was educated as a child in Indonesia. CNN was able to go to Indonesia and document fairly easily that there was no madrassa at the public school Obama attended. A madrassa, to be precise, is a particular kind of Islamic religious school. We were however, able to prove that he had at least one year of instruction in Islam at the public school he attended in Indonesia, and we were able to prove that, in part, by reference to Obama's own words. That is very different from attending a madrassa. We also refrained from claiming Obama is a Muslim because of that limited experience. We have carefully stated that Obama is the best authority on his religious beliefs and we will take him at his word.

Seems the only person saying O was a muslim was his bro, Odingo. Guess bro was lying, huh? What would he know. I say one thing, whether he is or isn't a muslim—he is too damn close to relatives that are and too damn close to way too many criminals

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they'll point out how you don't look like those guys on the money too... {yawn}

The latest on Obama and on being vindicated!

For over a year Obama's campaign called me a liar (they still do), but the evidence is out and it won't be much longer.

Expect the rest on Obama to break right here on FR.

Thanks to everyone @ FR for their continued support.

Obama as the cowardly Lion? Better he should be depicted as the scarecrow singing “If I only had a brain.” He’s not fit to run a business not the nation. But, he will not go quietly and when he fails he will take the Democrat Party with him.

Did Kenneth Vogel make clear that Barry’s anthropologist mother raised her son to think of religion as the opiate of the masses?

I should think his surreptitiously recorded San Francisco speech to the millionaires (god, guns, xenophobia, etc.) should put to rest any speculations about Obama’s true religious leanings. He ain’t got any.

Unless you believe that he thought only whitey’s god was a false idol and that Rev. Wright’s church was supreme.

More whining from the "Messiah".

Obama needs validation...from 75,000 pre-screened, robotic worshipers at next Thursday night's party rally in Denver.

I guess this marxist imbecile doesn’t subscribe to that “Freedom of the Press” thing.
