US 2008 Presidential Campaign/Debate Discussion Thread - The Fifth Installment

I just wonder if those people would still believe he's a Muslim no matter how many times they read otherwise or even if he told them so himself. Or maybe they think he's lying and secretly he's a Muslim who is plotting to take over our country and turn it into a radical Muslim sect.

Some Hillary supporters have been fired for spreading this lie.

Poll: 1 in 10 think Obama is Muslim

They might as well have titled that 1 in 10 Americans are extremely susceptible to suggestion.

 

[yolland]

About a third of Americans said they don't know what Obama's religious beliefs are

Nearly 80% of Americans said they had heard something about controversial sermon sound bites from Obama's former pastor

That's my favorite part...apparently then at least 1 in 10 are also unable to connect "pastor" and "Christian." Knock knock!

More unity on the left.

From a Chicago citizen.

#1. Obama is just as corrupt as all of the democrat Chicago/Illinois politicians. Rezko, who is now on trial, bought him his home and donated a shitload of money to his campaign to become an IL senator.

Obama lied about this relationship in the past and it now has come out.

#2. Obama has no accomplishments as a politician.

#3. His church is nothing but a racist organization. Check their website.

#4. His wife stated that she has never been proud to be an American. F*** YOU!!!

#5. The #1 reason that people vote for him is that he speaks well. That only means that people are tired of Bush.

#6. Who cares if he's Christian. Religion is a farce and we're not electing a Pope. I think all future Presidents should be athiests.

BTW... Check out obama's church's website. It's all about africa!

They really are the party of peace and unity and compassion, aren't they?

 

[U2democrat]

Yes, because that is a completely accurate representation of how we all think

She is sorta the Left's Rush Limbaugh-c'mon now.

You're judging a party based on a "stand up's" performance?

Some of you need lives.

She's a talk show host on Air America.

Rush does stand up everyday-you just don't get it.

So? That stand up isn't the Dem party, it's sad that some of you don't get that...

Rush does stand up everyday-you just don't get it.

Rush is the joke, I get it, but his followers don't...

It will be really easy for many Americans of all backgrounds, to vote for this man.

I think it's no coincidence McCain is in sync with MLK.

Of course some of the mentally obtuse will have a wrestle with this concept.

especially when he shows how to put a black person to good use and get them to hold his umbrella while talking about MLK.

not true. being colorblind usually means that you have difficulty with reds and greens, and there are ways to discern the race of an individual beyond pigmentation.

, and there are ways to discern the race of an individual beyond pigmentation.

yes, you're certainly able to, eagle eye.

I see you as unique, before being different.

If I polled people asking "Is Barak Hussein Obama a Muslim?" I bet I could get it up to 25%.

Irvine511,

I watched the video and never seen a black person holding McCain's umbrella. I suppose you are ASSuming that the man in the baseball cap is the one holding it. Yes, he's black. But there's no proof that he's holding it. And even if he is holding it... who cares what race he is? he's probably a John McCain supporter.

You must be one of those white guilt liberals who would vote vote for a 50% black/white man for president only because he speaks well.

By the way...are caucasians from Africa who moved to America also called African Americans?

Quit playing the race card and maybe the next president will be a democrat. However, i seriously doubt it. Sorry

Welcome to FYM...

Just like anywhere else, you know what they say about assumptions...

Uh oh another endorsement for Brother McCain:

You go Greenspank!

[MrsSpringsteen]

You're kidding, Greenspan endorsed a candidate who openly admitted that he doesn't know much about the economy? Oh right, he has his book. April fools?
