Barry Obama has slipped on his own faith by saying "John McCain has not... talked about... My muslim faith"
Of which Stephanopolous carried the water and corrected him by saying "Christian faith".
I think this is a VERY telling freudian slip by Barrack.
From a different thread of FR:
Also worth mentioning from this interview-Stephanopoulos asked Obama something about his religion and Obama answered that the Republicans were again “picking on him” and then he dropped a doozy by saying that they were-”questioning his muslim faith”. Stephanopoulos had to correct Obama by saying “Christian” after Obama had called himself a muslim and BO looked at him like he didn’t understand what he was talking about.
I’d expect to see that clip again from a 527.

I’m doing the happy dance! I SAW IT. He opened the door and stepped in it. He said McCain was questioning his religion. Credit to George, he said John McCain had never done that. In trying to redo it, BO said no, McCain had never questioned his muslim faith, but his campaign had done that. Steffy inserted the christian faith phrase, very softly. Too bad he didn’t have the guts to say, GOTCHA. These reporters see a story right in front of them and they have to let it pass. Pray to God we get this on video. Maybe check show transcripts?
Wheels are definitely coming off the Nobama express..:)
Yeah, this is nothing huge. He was just trying to say that John McCain hasn’t accused him of being Muslim, and he slipped up. It happens (frequently, in his case). I doubt that it is a Freudian slip.
Doesn’t really matter as far as I’m concerned, anyway. We already know enough about the so-called Christian church he attended. That alone is a red flag, nevermind any accusations of being Muslim. And we already know that he wants to negotiate and talk to terrorist organizations with no preconditions. So I don’t think some kind of revelation that he’s actually a Muslim would significantly change my view of him at this point anyway.
I saw it.
If anything is made of this, it shouldn’t be that he is Muslim. It should be primarily that he lied about it. Don’t give the left ammunition to call you bigoted etc. Point out the lack of veracity, and ask if he is ashamed to be Muslim (if indeed he is Muslim). Don’t let them turn this back on Republicans. My view is that Republicans have the high ground at this point. Don’t let democrats lay claim to it.
Uh, not so huge.
A Freudian slip perhaps, but he was actually saying McCain hasn’t made any Muslim accusations against him.
The firestorm is kinda funny, tho.
You saw how Stepontopofus tried (mistakenly) to correct and cover for O.
Be more funny to see how fast the MSM jumps on this to cover it, thereby bringing it to the top of the mind awareness yet again.
This needs to be sent to RUSH , MARK LEVIN, DRUDGE, and to JEWISH NEWS PAPERS AROUND THE WORLD....
I bet they will hardly even mention this...
I did not see the show itself, but have seen the video. There is a definite cut between “John McCain has never criticized...” and “...my muslim faith.” This suggests the possibility of editing by someone, and raises questions as to continuity and context. Did anyone here actually see the broadcast in question? If so, how accurate is the You Tube video?
I’d love to see O’Reilly have tanya Reimer analyze Soetoro’s Body Language when he said it.
Two things:
That's called apostasy, death penalty
OTOH, the doctrine of al taqqayah allows, nay, demands, that a muslim lie to an infidel if it forwards the interests of islam.
“Watching it, you know he meant that John McCain hasn’t accused him of being Mooselip. He is an airhead though.
Pray for W McCuda and Our Troops”
Not true. He was corrected by George Stephanopolus that he meant “My Christian Faith” and Barry quickly corrected his previous statement.

This is huge to the millions out there that are skeptical about his so called “Christian” faith.
There was an article yesterday in PA where Biden was trying to campaign, and an old lady said that she does not trust Obama and his religion and will not vote for him.
The election is measured in soundbytes and this is going to be a huge one for those out there who are not completely mesmerized by the one!
Freudian Slip: A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind.
Me thinks, in trying to make his point about McCain never questioning his faith, he forgot to filter "which" faith and with many believing he is Muslim, forgot that little nugget and let it out. Thats Fruedian Slip defined.
Nevermind. It will probably show up on this thread. Have a great day...
The quote was “talked about,” not “criticized” as I posted earlier.
