Willie Horton 2.0: Political ad man Floyd Brown aims to sink Obama campaign
By Robert Faturechi

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Pierce County — Floyd Brown lumbered his 6-foot-6 frame through the doorway at a small cafe here and ordered two coffees.

The woman at the counter craned her neck until she met his eyes.
.....................................................................................................

Brown's most watched ad — titled "Was He Muslim?" — draws on an Associated Press report that a 6-year-old Obama was enrolled as a Muslim, the religion in which his stepfather was raised, at a Catholic school in Indonesia. Obama is a practicing Christian.

The ad questions whether Obama is telling the truth when he says he's never been a Muslim.
.....................................................................................................

Even if he was, who gives it shit? It shouldn't matter period, and Obama has addressed this question repeatedly, as it is clear that he never considered himself a Muslim, even if he was in name. But that we even have to address this kind of racist fear mongering is bloody annoying, as there are plenty of morons out there who this guy can stoke the flames of racism in by insinuating that he always was a Muslim, and still is today. Brown is a racist, pure and simple.

1. Worse that that...
He was at a CATHOLIC school!!1!

I remember the mud slung at Kennedy for being a Catholic by the same simpletons that thrive today.
Blame the media for propagating this tripe.

That's a word that pretty much sums those people.
