I'm not an Obama cheerleader but this email I just got REALLY PISSES ME OFF
what is really weird is this was forwarded to me by someone I have always thought of as being a reasonable and Liberal (and liberal) person! This is WTF to the 100th power............:wtf: :eyes: :grr:


Here it is:

"Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in
Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from
Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita,
Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two
years
old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother
then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama
was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a
MUSLIM school in Jakarta, Indonesia. He also spent two years in a
Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick
to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended
Catholic
school.

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's

introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was
temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon
after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his
son's
education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced
his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in
Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim
terrorists
who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is
politically
expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the
United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of
Christ in
an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.


ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the

Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. (Their equivalency to our Bible, but
very different beliefs.)

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading
our
country?...... NOT ME!!

*If you do not ever forward anything else, please
forward this to all your contacts.........this is very
scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in
our own United States........ better heed this and
pray about it and share it. *

THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY
WAS FOUNDED, 'ONE NATION UNDER GOD'. ALMIGHTY GOD,
NOT THE GOD OF THE KORAN.

3. This is disgusting. Probably started as white-collar "water cooler" spam.
Written, no doubt, by someone who thinks Rush and Bill-O have all the answers to the great mysteries of life.

5. Debunked by snopes some time ago
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

Not that it will matter to the brain dead types on the far right, or their media surrogates, who'll repeat this shite over and over 'til the cows come home.

9. Didn't Obama address these claims in the debate the other night?
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 09:19 PM by southerncrone
Or maybe I saw him on a talk show discussing it. He stated that it was all unfounded & untrue. But of course, the seed of doubt & fear was planted. :(

Anyway, sounds like your typical "fundie" fear propaganda.

I always wonder----if "their" God is so almighty & correct, then why would he ever allow other religions to exist at all? :shrug:


on edit: can't type

11. The sad thing is that some people will actually believe this to be the truth
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 09:53 PM by Bobbieo
and will pass it on to others. This happened to me, twice, and I sent them the Snopes denial. They both wrote back and apologized.

12. The Snopes link is exceptionally effective.
It might help to have a special folder for it in Bookmarks.

16. This is so much like other boilerplate smears, i have to wonder
if there is just some naked guy, sweating in a basement w/a 25 watt bulb, and a connection to the net that just uses a template for this crap.

Judging by the wording and way it is presented, I'd say this is stuff right out of the Phelps' church. The thought of going intot he basement of Phelp's church is enouogh to make Superman a little on edge, i'm willing to bet it looks like a medieval dungeon...

Whoever is writing this stuff up is one sick stooge.

19. Those idiots can't even get their "Gods" straight
"THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY
WAS FOUNDED, 'ONE NATION UNDER GOD'. ALMIGHTY GOD,
NOT THE GOD OF THE KORAN."

Hmmmmm. Last time I checked the God of the Koran is the God of Abraham, making the God they are referring to the same one. Idiots
