[NightWatcher]

he was born in the Panama Canal zone and he has had extensive military training. Dont trust that old fart.

[spanone]

3. oddly, they didn't mention any of that

[phantom power]

[SergeyDovlatov]

[jobycom]

10. Based on the lower taxes the corporate owners and advertisers will pay under McCain.

[SergeyDovlatov]

22. Make sense. lol n/t

[glowing]

6. Its always amazing to me that he's a muslim... who has attended a controversial

Christian church for 20 years.. spin, spin, spin, spin.. dizzying of America.

[jobycom]

8. See, one was a cover for the other.

Which was which sort of depends on what gets the most mileage at the time.

[spanone]

9. check out the link in post #2. the truth has absolutely nothing to do with this or politics

it's cut throat

[sam sarrha]

11. based on Concervative Morans believing it the last time they ran that lie..

[texasleo]

13. He's also a Marxist. The three go hand-in-hand.

[Glorfindel]

12. The imbeciles who believe he's a Muslim wouldn't vote for him anyway

They don't hate him because they believe he's a Muslim, they hate him because he's a Democrat.

[melody]

14. They hate him because he's a Democrat AND black n/t

[Glorfindel]

16. Well, yes, but black is just icing on the cake

like John Kerry's heroism and Purple Hearts from Vietnam. Basically, your common-or-garden-variety Repuke will hate any Democrat. We forget that at our peril, because we Democrats tend to be forgiving and inclusive, eager to appear reasonable and to compromise. Repukes don't compromise; they don't forgive; they don't include. They're out to impose their own twisted values on this country, and to do that, they have to OBLITERATE the Democratic Party.

15. When I was phone banking for

Edwards before South Carolina's primary, one person I spoke too said that she was voting for Edwards because Obama was a Muslim. This was an senior citizen phone list we had and she had a geriatric tone in her voice. I corrected her about that - and thanked her for voting for Edwards. This has been going on for a while and I think their target voting block is of the senior variety. It's playing on fears, and this group lived through the WWII era and the fear of anyone being Asian. It sucks, but until the American public takes back the media, it's not going away.

[SoCalDem]

17. and he will have to PAY for ads they will run, so he can refute it

or beg to have spokespeople duel with rightwing loudmouths to refute it..

Clever, huh?

NETWORKS push rumors on-air, and then gladly SELL commercial time for candidate to refute the slander:puke:

[Swamp Rat]

21. Obama can use his ads not only to rebut McCain, but also to go on the offensive.

We can chew bubble gum and kick ass at the same time. :)

[Atman]

18. They should simply be reporting "He is NOT a muslim." The rest is pure bullshit.

All this "speculating," as if there is any question. They are the freakin' journalists. They know what the answer already is. There is no room for discussion. The only point of "discussing" this is to keep the issue alive in the heads of the stupid. They COULD just say "You people that think Obama is a muslim are wrong. He's Christian. Period." And be done with it. Instead, they deliberately keep it alive.

:banghead:

[Hekate]

19. DU them with emails demanding that MSNBC not use Rove's talking points any more. nt

[Swamp Rat]

20. Traitor Crashy McCrash collaborated with the VietCong.

Americans died as a result of his treason.

[Rex]

23. Why would you not expect the M$M to attack our guy with bullshit?

This is just the warm up. Remember, they took a war vet and made him look like an idiot. Take your pick.
