During Q&A at a Donald Trump town hall event in New Hampshire, a man called Obama a "Muslim." When Trump failed to "correct" him, David Goodfriend, a Democratic strategist and ex-President Bill Clinton staffer, appeared on Newsmax TV calling Trump "a racist bastard."
Memo to the strategist: Islam is a religion, not a race. But Democratic standard operating procedure is as follows: Whenever possible, convert any issue someway, somehow, into an accusation that Republicans are "racist." The tepid economic recovery continues, most Americans believe our foreign policy is on the wrong track and only 21 percent of Americans support Obama's Iran deal. But hey, Republicans are racist.
By the way, when did calling someone a Muslim, whether falsely or not, become a slur? After all, isn't Islam a "great religion of peace," that's been "hijacked by a minority of extremists"? If so, how does calling someone a Muslim become the moral equivalent of hate speech?
Over at CNN, Anderson Cooper -- an alleged "journalist" -- crossed the line and became a Jorge Ramos-like activist. Cooper indignantly fumed that Donald Trump "doesn't have the guts to stand up to some loudmouth in his own crowd" and set the town-hall man straight. Today, this is what passes for "journalism."
Speaking of the supposed Republican belief the Obama's a Muslim, a February 2015 Washington Post blog article cited a survey conducted late last year by YouGov for the Cooperative Congressional Election Study. That survey found a majority of Democrats do not believe that Obama is a Christian "deep down." The survey asked, "Which of these do you think most likely describes what Obama believes deep down? Muslim, Christian, atheist, spiritual, or I don't know."
According to the survey, only 45 percent of Democrats believe Obama is a Christian at heart, while 26 percent "don't know," 17 percent said he's "spiritual," 10 percent think he's Muslim and 2 percent believe he is an atheist. Added up, this means most Democrats doubt Obama's professed Christianity. Apparently, within the Democratic Party, many "racist bastards" reside.
Where was Anderson Cooper during the 2008 campaign? Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign, as Politico's John Heilemann recently confirmed, stoked Obama-is-a-Muslim-rumors. On "60 Minutes," Clinton was asked whether she believed then-Sen. Obama was Muslim. She replied, "No," and said she takes Obama at his word. But then she slyly added, "There is nothing to base that on -- as far as I know." Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Speaking of "correcting" those who say false things, where were the media scolds when Hillary Clinton likened Republicans who want to defund Planned Parenthood to "terrorist groups"? Similarly, the media were AWOL when President Obama outrageously likened Republicans, opposed to the Iran deal, to "Iranian hardliners." You know, the ones who chant "death to America" and "death to Israel"?
When will the media get around to "correcting" those who still claim George W. Bush "lied" about Iraq War intel? The Associated Press's former Washington bureau chief, Ron Fournier, said President Bush "lied us into war in Iraq." The Associated Press?! About the Iraq WMD Intel, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., called Bush a "liar." New York Times columnist Frank Rich flatly claimed Bush lied about the Iraq war.
They must have forgotten about the Robb-Silberman report from the bipartisan Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction. It was set up by Congress to investigate the intelligence on which the Iraq War was based. Yes, the commission concluded that the intelligence reports were wrong, but found no deception. Silberman, in a Wall Street Journal piece, called the continued assertion that Bush misled the nation "not only false, but ... dangerously defamatory. The charge is dangerous because it can take on the air of historical fact -- with potentially dire consequences." Yet when pundits, Democrats and even "reporters" like Fournier say Bush lied -- crickets from the media.
As to the assumption that Obama is a Muslim, Gen. Colin Powell once said, "The correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he's a Christian. He's always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is?"
What if he is?!
It was the current president of Egypt, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi -- not Donald Trump -- who called for an Islamic religious reformation and said that "the entire world is waiting" for it. On New Year's Day 2015, before an audience of Muslim clerics and scholars, al-Sisi said: "It's inconceivable that the thinking that we hold most sacred should cause the entire Islamic world to be a source of anxiety, danger, killing and destruction for the rest of the world. ... It's antagonizing the entire world! Does this mean that 1.6 billion people (Muslims) should want to kill the rest of the world's inhabitants -- that is 7 billion -- so that they themselves may live? Impossible!"
So let's put the Trump-didn't-correct-the-man-who-called-Obama-a-Muslim furor in context. This is merely the latest example of left-wing media hypocrisy, double standards and selective outrage.
Day one?
I haven’t seen Obama come out and tell us he isn’t a muslim.
Isn’t this like calling an L.D.S. person a Mormon?
Isn’t this like calling a Cardinal a Father?
Isn’t this like calling a Jewish person a Jew?
People are just trying to do everything they can to find fault because they don’t agree with what that person did or did not do....to much P.C.B.S. and it’s time we get rid of it....

The MSM and a fraidy cat lackadaisical congress are to blame. Say nothing, do nothing have brought us to the brink of national destruction.
BARACK OBAMA: "John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith."
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Your Christian faith?"
BARACK OBAMA: "My Christian faith....."
St. Lois MO - Sunday, September 7, 2008
Without his teleprompter Barack Obama is a blithering idiot.
The Current Occupant is, in his heart, a Noble Islamic Gentleman. That’s private, now, and should not be used against him, that would be attacking his religion.
The bite here, is that though it styles itself to be a religion, Islam is really a full ideology, not merely concerned with the worship of a deity, but imposing that worship upon even the unwilling, under threat of death by some particularly brutal and primitive manner, or by a life of servitude to these same Noble Islamic Gentlemen.
The United States of America is incompatible with ANY theocracy.
25 REASONS OBAMA IS A MUSLIM
25) He changed the primary mission of NASA from space exploration to Muslim outreach . . . seriously.
24) He refuses to treat foreign terrorists as enemies at war with this country, and insists instead on treating them as mere common criminals with the constitutional rights of American citizens.
23) He refused to acknowledge that the bloodthirsty Islamic lunatics he brought to power in Iraq (ISIS) were Muslims.
22) He appeased Iran’s Islamo-fascist regime as it went nuclear.
21) When a Muslim beheaded a woman in Oklahoma for not converting to Islam, he refused to allow any acknowledgement of the Islamic connection to the attack.
20) He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq (enabling the rise of ISIS) and then lied about it.
19) He had his Department of Justice threaten to prosecute people for criticizing Islam. (FORGET THE 1st AMENDMENT)
18) He alienates and betrays Israel (our number-one ally in the Middle East) non-stop.
17) He handed Afghanistan back to the Islamic fundamentalists who facilitated 9/11.
16) He rushes in after every terrorist attack to warn us against “Islamophobia” and stopped the authorities from investigating Islamic extremism.
15) He criminalized Christianity in the military while spying onevery one but Islamic terrorists.
14) When an Islamic terrorist slaughtered 13 people and injured 30 others at Ft. Hood in 2009 while shouting, “Allahu Akbar” the entire time (a 100% preventable attack made possible by him refusing to investigate a Muslim soldier), he responded by calling it “workplace violence” and refusing to acknowledge any connection whatsoever to Islam.
13) He is on the record enthusiastically embracing Islam, and peddling wildly erroneous ”religion of peace” propaganda that Muslims around the world openly reject as false.
12) When a U.S. ambassador was dragged through the streets and tortured to death by barbaric Muslim savages in Benghazi, along with three other Americans killed that night, he repeatedly refused to lift a finger to stop the attack in the first place, and responded by apologizing to the terrorists, falsely blaming the attack on an American film, and intimidating witnesses into silence.
11) He refuses to acknowledge America’s Judeo-Christian roots, while even absurdly attempting to portray us as a Muslim country.
10) He was born and raised a Muslim.
9) He appointed members of a radical Islamic terrorist organization to sensitive advisory roles and gave Muslim extremist groups sweeping influence over U.S. policies.
8) He gutted the U.S. military to the bone while bending over backward to arm Islamic terrorists.
7) When the heads of more than 40 countries responded to the mass murder of journalists in Paris by organizing the greatest march against Islamic terrorism in history, he was the only leader in the entire Western world who refused to show up, or even have a high-level official make an appearance...even though Eric Holder was already in the city.
6) He funded and empowered Sharia-pushing Islamist radicals while trashing their Christian victims and targeting conservatives.
5) He needlessly released major Islamic terrorist leaders from Guantanamo Bay back onto the battlefield who then started groups like ISIS and had to be re-captured as they raped, beheaded, and massacred Christians across the Middle East.
4) He armed, funded, supported Islamic terrorists ...and evenrecruited them, through the State Department.
3) He routinely met with the Hamas front group CAIR while blocking FBI investigations into its open funding of terrorist groups, despite it being banned in other countries as a violent Islamic terrorist organization.
2) After he intentionally misled the public on Benghazi by falsely attributing the known terrorist attack to Americans having the right to disagree with Islam in public, Hillary revealed that he was looking to “arrest and prosecute” the film-maker they falsely blamed. And that film-maker was in fact sent to prison on trumped up charges.
1) He holds regular meetings with Islamic terrorists from the Muslim Brotherhood, removes its members from our “no-fly” lists, blocks FBI investigations into its jihadist fundraising, and fills the administration with its Islamic supremacists as they promote Sharia law.
You don’t just happen to come down on the side of Islam 100% of the time, on every single issue, without there being a reason for it. Obama is a tireless advocate for Islamic front groups, causes, and interests...and has been a brazen activist on their behalf from the beginning.
THOSE WHO WILL NOT CONNECT THE DOTS SHOWING THAT OBAMA IS A MUSLIM, ARE
IN DENIAL, BLIND TO EVIDENCE, ARE EMOTIONALLY INCAPABLE OF ACCEPTING THE
OBVIOUS, AND ARE UNABLE TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS BASED ON OBSERVATION.
“As to the assumption that Obama is a Muslim, Gen. Colin Powell once said, “The correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.”
According to the koran, he was born a muslim. So he has not always been a Christian. Powell is wrong in his statement.
Just as side note - when I typed in koran with a lower case k auto-correct automatically capitalizes it. Not so with the word bible.
Now calling someone an Obama is a slur.
Liberals say being muslim is something to celebrate, yet, calling obama a muslim is a terrible disgusting insult.
Obviously, liberals know muslims are out to destroy western culture just like they are.
I call him a pos and if that is a slur, so be it.
Actions speak louder than words.
Obama may not be carrying an Islamic membership card signed by Allah - after all, he apparently doesnt have a birth certificate either.
But it is clear to see what is in his heart just by watching what he does every day and what he has done over the last 7 years.
He promotes Islam in many ways while attacking and denigrating Christianity at every turn.
“I call him a pos and if that is a slur, so be it.”
That’s better than what I call him.
You got that description down perfectly. He is a pos.
His name IS Hussein!
