Clear to whom? This is clearly dog whistling by the lap dogs in the MSM!
Re: the Milbank's hit column in the Washington Post today: Scott Walker’s insidious agnosticism [FR post] "This is insidious, and goes beyond last week’s questioning of Obama’s patriotism, because it allows Walker to wink and nod at the far-right fringe where people really believe that Obama is a Muslim from Kenya who hates America.........."
Keeping with the "Kenyan" theme they're pulling out of thin air:
“How unhinged has Howard Dean become? So bad that an MSNBC host had to gently walk him back off the ledge.
On Chris Hayes’ MSNBC show tonight, Dean claimed that Scott Walker says Barack Obama was “born in Kenya.” It took Hayes two attempts to break through Dean’s blather, but eventually he was able to politely point out: “I should note, you mention the Kenya thing, he has not been asked that.”...........Howard Dean says Scott Walker said Obama was born in Kenya
The media wants to use Giuliani's comments against other Republicans: either the Republican candidates support the idea that the president is a Christian or a patriot, or they're maligned for questioning Obama's bona fides, and that's used against the whole party ("fever swamps," etc.)
What Walker's doing is turning this around and making the media themselves the issue, and when that happens, the press gets very uncomfortable. After all, their veto power is at stake.
Second, Obama lies. Those who believe Obama is a Christian because he says so probably believe that if they like their doctor/coverage/country, they can keep it, too.
In other words, morons. We're onto you, Lamestream!
(and best of all, Walker seems to be, too)
You will know them...
...by their fruits.
Last March, Obama was interviewed by Nicholas Kristof, a New York Times Op-ed columnist. Here’s what the Times quoted Obama as saying:
“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office [...]. 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 (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Why would Scott Walker be an expert on what is in Obama’s heart. Obama can speak for himself in his words and deeds. Ask the man direct.
The problem is the answer McGough cites as proof of Obama's Christian faith, “accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals,” is a lawyerly answer, calculated to sound like a confession of Christian faith without actually being one.
Neither it, nor any other statement Obama has made that I can recall has in any way echoed Peter's confession, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God," affirmed either of the central doctrines of Christianity, the divinity of Christ or that the One Existing God subsists from before eternity as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, or used the common phrase among believing Christians, "Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ."
If Mr. McGough can find a recording, reliable transcript, or event attested by multiple witnesses of Obama affirming the divinity of Christ or the doctrine of the Trinity in any public pronouncement or private statement, he would do well to trot them out as a corrective to the doubt many of the public share with Gov. Walker. The quote provided doesn't cut it.
What is wrong with saying “I don’t know if Obama is a Christian; I’ve never talked to him about it.”
In my mind, certain behaviors or beliefs suggest to me that a person is NOT likely to be a legitimate Christian. Obama sides with those behaviors and beliefs, so in my mind he is not a Christian.
It had been demonstrated over and over that during campaigns and immediately after fraudulently winning elections, politicians lie. The only unknown is -- what were the lies?
What his religion is, is clearly demonstrated on the real effect of his policies, and his most frequent positive emphases. So far I have seen nothing but pro-islam embarrassing blather.
Q.E.D.
What Christian wears a ring with the first part of the Shahada on it in arabic script?
What Christian says the camel-strangling muslim screech to prayer is the sweetest sound on earth?
He takes a long family’vacation in December like many muslim families do, to some other place that doesn’t visibly celebrate Christmas as much as where they normally live. they all juat hole’up somewhere for 2-3 weeks in a Christmas-free zone.
He said if stuff gets ugly he’ll stand with the muslims, which he is doing.
What is the point of asking a politician if he thinks if Obama is a Christian?
Nothing can and will be done about it and unfortunately, the Constitution does not prevent a muzzie to become POTUS.
This is nothing more than typical provocative MSM interviewing while one of them, Stephanopoulos, already got the answer. Why don’t they ask Steffie?
Because he didn't want to lie?
If I was asked this question I’d tell the asker to go F themselves and ask a real one instead of trying to dredge up controversial bulls***.
Walker worries them - almost as much as he worries some on FR - looks like neither side wants him because he would be 98.7% conservative. We know why that bothers the Left - the Right has a whole different illness.
