Yeah, I don’t get the Freepers here who defend Obama, either and never want his Muslim faith mentioned.
Are they fifth columnists or som’n?
It’s not defending Obama, but defending the principle that we should not attack political opponents by saying things that are not true. The ends dont justify the means.
The left and the media would love to point to ‘conservative smears’ to ‘prove’ that the right-wing relies on lies. Lets not give them the ammo to do that. Let stick to the truth.
Wrt Obama’s faith: Barack Hussein Obama is not a Muslim. Barack’s father and step-father both were Muslim, his name is Muslim, he was listed as a Muslim as a student in school in Indonesia, and his step-sisters and step-brothers are Muslim. But Obama is not a Muslim. Obama has attended a Christian church, Trinity UCC, for 20 years, headed by the Black Liberation Theology firebrand Pastor Rev Wright of “God d*mn America” fame, who happens to be friends with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Obama has Nation of Islam staffers. All that smoke does not a fire make. His bios make clear his own views and thoughts - Barack Obama’s real roots are Marx not Mohammed.
Barack Obama is often gaffe-prone and inarticulate when away from the teleprompter. Along with the 57 states he visited, kids on breathalyzers, the 10,000 who he said died in a Kansas tornado (it was under a dozen), and seeing fallen heroes in the audience, inadvertently saying “my Muslim faith” don’t make it so.
His real faith is more Marx than Mohammed:
