Foes Use Obama's Muslim Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him »
Posted By Aidenag 10 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsDespite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible.

My sister said this to me the other day. I couldn't believe she was actually that naive and ignorant of the candidates.

My grandmother actually made mention of it as one of the reason's why she is voting for hillary and not Obama. Then when i showed her how untrue it was, she switched over to the "he doesnt have experience" line. To which i showed her he has more experience than hillary in elected public office positions.
The amount of rumors being spread about Barack is just insane. Even some democrats are buying into them they have become so viral. I cannot recall a Candidate ever having so many 100% false rumors being pushed on them in my lifetime.

Get ready for the foulest campaigns on record. Smear is already hitting the air waves and it will only get worse. I already know none are honest but to use, or spread lies about anyone is just plain wrong.

"My sister said this to me the other day. I couldn't believe she was actually that naive and ignorant of the candidates."
If she's related to you, not2necessary, she'll have naivete and ignorance down pat and firmly entrenched.
Has she lived off the government, as you have, needless? I'm just wondering if whiny welfare nags is genetic, or if it's a learned affliction.

And you know all about n2n??
You are one of those christian phonies that are trying to destroy this country.Funny,I just saw Huckabee talking about you,he was saying that he would rather associate with an athiest who was honest about his beliefs than a phony christian like you "filled with hate against his fellow man".
If you were really a christian ...you'd listen to the Rev.
WWJD????

We are not saying he is a follower of Islam.
However his 'spirit' does not reflect the God of Abraham.
There are no doubts in mhy mind at all that there is an Islamic influence!
"Christians' BEWARE!
G W Bush fooled you in 2000, use reason not blind emotions in the 2008 Elections!

Thanks for making that point, libroll.
I've always found the Muslim/Xtian disconnect fascinating, considering they are descended from basically the same dogmas.
I've come to think that most religious conflicts are merely excuses for either overt, culturally enforced racism or simple family feuds.

From Article VI of the US Consitution.
"... The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
Do you have faith in the consitution? Or do you believe that one must believe in super-natural creatures to hold public office?
Funny you speak of using reason......

Com on, djn3nunez3. You don't think they actually MEANT that, do you? You know they only wanted good, white, Christian men to be elected to office.

I don't think you have any concept of Christianity or you would not be so deluded by your fear and hatred of someone you really don't know. I feel sorry for you.

Your comment would be scary if you had a mind.
He is a christian and a longer time member of a christian church if you care to review and believe the facts.

I'm not worried that he is a muslim. What worries me is his "Christian" church. He often attends the church of Jeremiah Wright. A reverend that barak claims is resposible for converting him to christianity. A church that is extremely bigoted. A church that preaches hatred and says we are living in the "United States of White America". And one that race baits and fearmongers blacks into believing that there is some diabolical plot by the white man to return them to the days of slavery. That is what worries me.

Don't forget, Bush fooled you again in 2004. You all voted for him a second time.
He fooled you twice and he can't even utter that turn of phrase.

He fooled you twice. You voted for him again in 2004. He certainly was reelected and I know I didn't vote for him.

I've checked Obama's background as well as I can. He is a good and decent man by his actions, which include giving up a lucrative job after Colombia to work with the underprivileged. He will be my choice when WA state holds its primary, & nothing from the world of spin and rumor will change my mind. I'll leave that to people who can't think for themselves.

Our vote's in Feb. as well, (the 19th). I lean toward Obama because of his understanding of the Constitution. He taught Constitutional law at the U. of Chicago. He was also a civil rights attorney. And as our Constitution is in peril, I want a candidate who doesn't rely on the interpretations of those with less knowledge than he has. We've seen what has happened under the helm of a dolt who hasn't a clue about the document.

I'll reserve my opinion until I've gotten a better view of his views. So far I like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. I just keep hearing the same old rhetoric from all the candidates. We don't need to keep building upon the rubble we have. We need to tear down the garbage Bush and Reagan have put together and rebuild a solid foundation. I don't hear any of the "favorites" saying they would do that. Just my opinion. But can we continue to focus on the degrees of difference or do we vote to change the whole direction. To me that is what it comes down to. Color or gender have nothing to do with change. Motivation and morals do. Look at that first.

I feel the way you do, gramps, but all along, I've never gotten a whiff of insincerity from Obama. I am starting to think he really is the only popular candidate with any experience and a real grasp of policy cause and effect. He is definitely the one with the most religious tolerance built into his background, and I am starting to think that this may be one of his most important positive features, as well. His race and religion almost guarantee that he has not become an 'insider' in the time he has spent in DC. The biggest plus of all.
So in that respect, I think that race and religion do have an impact on his candidacy, in a positive way.

Grrr: I see what you are saying and respect that. Here is the thing though. When we start focusing on the color or gender of the candidate. We start losing perspective of what is really important. I mean case in point. Last night at work this 21 year old young woman who works in the office. Comes up and says I'm voting for Hillary. I say OK why? She says with a straight face mind you "because she is a woman." I said really, thats it. Because she is a woman? She said yep and she might vote for Obama because he is an African American. Really? Those are the only two reasons she gave me. I of course told her what I thought of that logic, and suggested that she study the issues concerned more. Such as constitutional law and a return to fiscal responsibility. Seriously, she looked at me and said "huh"? No clue wtf she was doing at all. That is why it scares me to see this kind of rhetoric being played out. So I'll stick to Kucinich or Ron Paul.
