White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said today that nobody should be surprised to hear allegations that President Obama is a Muslim, as suggested by an audience member at a Donald Trump rally on Thursday night.
"Is anybody really surprised this happened at a Donald Trump rally?" Earnest told reporters. "Anybody paying attention to Republican politics isnt surprised. Offensive views are part of Trumps base."
Earnest said it was too bad that Trump didnt condemn the questioner as Sen. John McCain had done during the 2008 presidential campaign seven years ago, contending that priority of every Republican candidate is to capture some of Trumps base.
"Those are the priorities of todays Republican party and will continue to be until some on in Republican party stands up with courage," Earnest said.
Earnest also told reporters that there is no evidence that there are Muslim terrorist training camps in the United States, another question offered up by the unidentified audience member....

There’s a lot more evidence of Obama being a Muslim than not.

In foreign policy as well, Mr. Obama would bring to the White House an important experience that most other candidates lack: he has actually lived abroad. He spent four years as a child in Indonesia and attended schools in the Indonesian language, which he still speaks.
I was a little Jakarta street kid, he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.

The opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer are:
Allahu Ackbar,
Allahu Ackbar
And Obama spontaneously sang it to a New York Times reporter as if he was bragging about it.
HELLS YES! I may have to steal your post, it’s got all the good stuff in it.
Right. McCain is a LOSER! (AND insane)
Maya Soetoro-Ng, Mr. Obamas younger half sister is quoted in this New York Times article as saying: “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.””
I assume Maya believes her brother “Barry” is a member of her family?
“This has the stench of political orchestration all over it.”
As taught by Saul Alinsky.
Straight from the Obama/Hillary camp.
Speaker was phony and their allies in the MSM are too well prepared with their phony outrage to be “spontaneous”.
Yes, but by whom? If the dims thought this would hurt Trump, it's not working. Just more free advertising for Trump while the CoC throws away millions of dollars on worthless ads for their squishy losers.

White House v anyone. I’ll take anyone.
Hiding it allows him to continue to undermine Western Judeo-Christian culture and civilization with plausible deniability.
If it is out in the open, even the low-information citizenry would start to notice that the pattern of his actions is consistent with the fomenting of Jihad.
Thank you, CommieCutter.
