ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Sen. Barack Obama's foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue, when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, "my Muslim faith."
The three words - immediately corrected - were during an exchange with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on This Week, when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
But illustrating the difficulty of preventing false rumors about his faith from spreading, anti-Obama groups within one hour of the interview had sliced it out of context and were sending it around via email. They also were blogging about it.

This time, I doubt McCain will tell his followers to leave this issue alone. It's gonna be real difficult for him or anyone to explain the context in which The Unibama said those three words.
Classic freudian slip.
I believe it was Mark Twain who said that.
Note, however, that in its “corrected” state (”your Christian faith”), the statement makes no sense. He did, indeed, say what he meant the first time around, before the Greek Geek tried to cover for him, and there ain’t no way getting around it.
He'd say, "Sorry fella, I can't help. You got problems that cannot be cured."
Barack Obama Is a Muslim - Qaddafi
Qaddafi says that Obama is a Muslim and a brother, but needs to learn more about foreign policy.
Yes, indeedy. There's no way out of this rat's maze.
youtube says that this video is no longer available.
Yup. However, the lib - dem - media themselves better be careful with those traps, too, because they can just as easily hurt themselves.
Oops. I think this has more to do with some kind of internal struggle he’s having within his own conscience about his Muslim background and current beliefs. Frankly, no matter what his faith, his stance on issues is appalling and he’s got no experience at all.
High five, good buddy!
That’s how I think as well. I think that some parts of our lives are too entrenched into our psyches. That’s why I think he’s having an internal struggle within his soul about who he is.
I’d say half the American people knew from the beginning
“WHO” Hussein is (and most didn’t care) but
“WHO SENT HIM” is now getting out to the rest of the people (who do care).
Whoopee!
Followed by Obama correcting Stephanapolis and bringing it back to the point of George's original question, and admitting that McCain has never claimed that he has Muslim connections. You have to listen very carefully, because BHO says it almost under his breath. Listen for it.
Zerobama's point is that 'right wing blogs' have made the claim that he has Muslim connections. He tried to tie those unnamed websites to McCain but Georgie wouldn't let him get away with that, so he finally had to admit McCain had nothing to do with making those claims.
That's what it was all about. It wasn't about the truth or falsity it, only the fact that the claims have been made and he was forced to admit McCain didn't do it.
But just the other day he (BHO) had claimed that McCain had done just that, so what Georgie did was to get him to admit he had made a false claim against McCain.
That should be the noteworthy point to make, IMO.
I guarantee many people still have the video. hee hee
Yup, and islamic terrorism, black racism and hostile stalinism are the booby traps attached.
