Daily Show mocks participants of Palin rally in Scranton
The Times-Tribune (Scranton PA) ^ | 10/27/08 | STAFF REPORT

Posted on 10/28/2008 10:30:42 AM PDT by Born Conservative

Satirical news program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart aired a segment Monday night poking fun at supporters at political rallies, including the Oct. 14 rally in Scranton for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Correspondent John Oliver is seen interviewing several Republican supporters from the Scranton rally, who express the false belief that Mr. Obama is a Muslim. The segment also features a rally elsewhere for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee.

One unidentified woman wearing a "Scranton (loves) Sarah" shirt is shown saying about Mr. Obama: "I think he's going to put a turban on, and he's going to go into the White House, and we're all going to be shot."

Several others outside the Republican rally at the Riverfront Sports Complex are shown saying they are troubled by a belief that Mr. Obama is a Muslim. (He is in fact a lifelong Christian).

The segment debuted in the original 11 p.m. airing Monday night on Comedy Central. The show is reaired Tuesday at 1 a.m., 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

I remember seeing that on Youtube. His audience is made up of radical lunatics because that is who he has spent so much time playing to.

A lifelong Christian wouldn’t support an ideology that defiantly revels in breaking all 10 commandments and wouldn’t mock those that believe the Bible is true.

God will only heal the land of those who are humble before him.

Every time I consider mocking and deriding 0bama supporters following his loss, I push it down.

I respect your view. Unfortunately, not only do I lack the discipline, but am also an atheist. ;)

Actually, you are not then required to humble yourself.

Only “My people, who are called by My name...”

If Obama’s mother married not one, but two muslim men. And Sharia (Islamic Law) states that in mixed marriages “the children will follow the better of the two religions of their parents”, which in your case is considered Islam. The Quran states that Islam is the only true religion, “The religion before Allah is Islam” Surah 3:19. Non Muslims can not act as protectors to Muslims, “O ye who believe; take not for friends (protectors) unbelievers rather than believers” Surah 4:144

http://www.islamreview.com/articles/beingamuslimswife.shtml

Obama records show he was schooled in the Quran and at a Muslim school. He now claims to have switched to Christianity, but what does the Islamic religion state?

Hadith: Volume 9, Book 84, Number 64: Narrated ‘Ali: Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah’s Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.”

Quran Sura 004.089
YUSUFALI: They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;-

So we will be required to protect Obama from the 1.2 billion in the Muslim world would be required to seize and slay Obama.

Not only that, but Republican men are handsomer, more muscular and more virile. They don’t dress in the metro-sexual manner Democrats do, but in a masculine style with tee-shirts or sweat shirts, ball-caps, windbreakers (when needed), and jeans to display their manly physiques.

Also, Republican men don’t need viagra to satisfy their women (except Bob Dole). Republican women are very happy.

The reporter is obviously not familiar with life-long Christians. A good editor would have said, “The candidate claims to be a ‘committed Christian’.” In his own book, he writes about his childhood household not having any religious affiliation, and his having attended an Indonesian school. Wasn’t that part of his “long” life? And he writes about joining up with the Reverend Wright church of white hatred after he moved to Chicago as an adult.

“(He is in fact a lifelong Christian). “

He did NOT go to church nor was raised as a Christian. His mother was an athiest and his father and step-father were both muslims.

The only church Obama attended was a black liberation theology church, that preaches a marxist style of ‘christian faith’.

“There is significant doubt that he’s ever been a Christian, as his “church” in Chicago is not Christian by any conventional description, forsaking Christian teaching for liberation theology which is nothing but Marxism dressed up in Christian-style trappings.”

You can make such a comment on their message board.

I think it is wrong to say Obama is a muslim. He clearly has attended Trinity UCC for 20 years. Tell people about *that* church, a Black Liberation Theology church, and the “christian” label becomes in reality a label for a guy who attends a church that is more Marx than Jesus.

“What is a “healthy skepticism of religion as an institution” for a devout Christian?”

Very sensible, surely?
Jesus came to Earth to reconcile God and Man and destroy Religion, which is more of the Devil than God.

Well researched thread response, by the way.

Whether Obama is a Christian or not is difficult to know without knowing him personally.
