So what if Obama was Muslim or Arab?

It's not a disqualifier for being president.
There's a difference between Muslims and radical Muslims.
Since when did calling someone Muslim or Arab become a slur?

A person's religion is his moral compass. Obama has already made deals with the Muslim leader of Iraq.
The Arabs shot up price of gas to $4. a gal. bankrupting our economy causing the credit crisis, and the stock market melt down. All of this benefited the Muslim candidate.
Now the American People are beginning to understand that Obama's answer for the economy is Socialism.
Obama is also a globalist. Obama has strong ties to our enemy, and competitive allies.
Obama, the Muslim, is going to sell us out.

What deals? I would like to know what these "deals" are."The Arabs shot up price of gas to $4. a gal. bankrupting our economy causing the credit crisis, and the stock market melt down. All of this benefited the Muslim candidate."
You really don't understand how the economy works do you?"Now the American People are beginning to understand that Obama's answer for the economy is Socialism."
Ooo..the socialist boogie man!"Obama is also a globalist. Obama has strong ties to our enemy, and competitive allies."
Whom are they? I would like to know who these "enemies" are."Obama, the Muslim, is going to sell us out."
Oh great, the "Obama is a secret Muslim" argument. Or does the the word "Muslim" actually mean "terrorist, Arab"? Does that mean you're racist? hmmm.. - 3 years ago

Oil prices aren't determined by arabs. They are determined by OPEC whose president also happens to be the President of Venezuala. And since when is making deals with Iraq a bad thing? Aren't we supposed to be trying to rebuild their country or something? I think a possibility of doing so could be done without drive-by like shootings down the streets of Baghdad. And before you criticize Islam, maybe you should look at what it really is instead of what fundamentalists are corrupting it are doing...A real Muslim carries many of the same values as christians, in fact they come from the same original religion and they keep many of the same stories. Some of the real differences lay in certain practices like, zakat or the laws of Islam. In actuality a Muslim President wouldn't be too different than a Christian president if you are going off of a moral compass.

don't bother with this one. Religion = moral compass?
Thats why Mo1y's religion kills so many people in the name of the "one true god" right?
I don't believe in religion and yet I am SURE i have done more philanthropic work than mo1y has. I don't need some bogus book telling me how to rule my life... nor do i need the pretense of trying to get into heaven as a way for me to do good.
i do good by other people because its just the right thing to do... unlike selfish people who only do it to get their asses into heaven....
hey mo1y, whens the last time you stopped for someone on the street, hungry, dirty and tired, and you went and got them food and water.... or do you just pass them by with your nose turned up. Moral compass huh?
I don't need a religion to carry a box of food in my car at all times to give to anyone who is in need. Even though I struggle to pay my own bills, even though I have my own trials to get past... I'll always help those in need. And hopefully i'll be moving to a new job where I can further my philanthropic work to help students. Religion didn't teach me that... a good upbringing did. So enough of your religious crap.

amberaa - she/he isn't a republican - they are a conservative. close minded, racist, hatred and rage filled. they are willing to take away my right to chose (roe vs wade) and have no problem invading another country to take away THOSE peoples rights as well.
its not ok for me to make a decision, say, should a doctor tell me I could potentially die if I carry a pregnancy to term, but she has full right to decide whether people in another country die... or even say people in this country die... lets not even say they did a crime punishable by death... lets just say some fed agent THINKS they MIGHT be a terrorist because of the color of their skin or what it says on their passport... she is TOTALLY ok with them being tortured... because of a whim..
oh... what nobamagirl... you really think that doesnt happen to completely INNOCENT people every day??!?! YOU REALLY EFFING THINK that someone VERY VERY close to me has never been pulled aside at the airport because of what it says on his passport... regardless of the fact that he IS an american citizen.... has been for decades.... and is detained and questioned and has missed important flights and is searched and humiliated JUST BECAUSE of where he was born... not where he was raised... but born... i mean who gives a shit that he lived here his whole life... is a citizen... doesn't believe in religion... has an amazing job... is an outstanding citizen... would take a bullet for someone he loves... and does his part everyday, doesn't owe back taxes like your little joe the plumber... nope.. he PAYS his taxes every year.... but because the country on his passport... you racist pricks have every right to pull him aside to humiliate him? he hates flying. hed rather drive. screw you.

Man I know what you mean, my full name is a very common Pakistani name. I get "randomly selected" every time I get on a plane. Once they tried to tell me that I couldn't fly because I missed my flight, even though I was an hour early, so that I couldn't fly. Wow and I all that just from a name and a visa...not like these injustices are that bad, but it just shows that people support them. If we were a land of equality then we wouldn't have children starving on the streets, or public education be separated by how rich you are. In my city, it used to be a mill town, everyone had a relation to it, then all these people making 250,000+ moved there. They actually made two separate schools for kids that were richer and those that are poorer...shows what kind of America we live in today.

If you were smart you would realize that being a republican changed back when the second roosevelt got into office, and even more when reagan was in office. If you were a good republican you would have supported Ron Paul, the only true republican that ran for the ticket, and you would realize that being a POW doesn't make you a good american. People don't need to change history, and yes those people are biased, but maybe you should get a better grip on what it was to be a republican. And maybe become a little more compromising and forget your ideology of you have to be either right or wrong, with them or against them...

Hung up on McCarthy are you? Actually I am a fan of NIXON, REAGAN, LINCOLN, TEDDY Roosevelt, George Washington, John Adams, 41 and 43, BUSH. McCarthy got a little over zealous. Thus, it worked in reverse. That is why we have guys like Micheal Moron and Oliver Stoned. Attempting to change modern history to fit their Leftist needs.

Please, for the love of god, please give us these pieces of evidence. And by the way I'm expecting qualified resources, not any more of your blogs from random spectators. I already know how you neocons got some random blogger that really posted more things on gay relationship advertisements into the white house press to make bush look good. So really enlighten us all, where is this information. Because some of us like to be informed and don't just google what we want to hear.

Oh yeah Obama isn't a Muslim. Did you go to school in a madras a? Yeah didn't think so...he did, and he has many writings (his memoirs for one) which prove it. He should just admitted it instead of lying.

It seems that the conservative side just lie, vomit, and repeat. That is all they do. They lie over and lie, vomit it repeatedly without any evidence to support it.

There are approximately 5,220,00 American Muslims, is slurring them really a good idea for the Mc Cain campaign?
Being a Muslim or an American of arabian descent is just as legitimately American as being an Evangelical or a Baptist or a Jew or a Catholic.
This kind of Religious intolerance is ugly, and shows America in a bad light to the rest of the world.

The point is that he didn't lie because he's neither. The fact that "he's a muslim" as a false statement is offensive to a population that is the second largest religion in the world. Since when was there some presidential qualification saying that you had to be a christian to be president? Religion is supposed to be separate from government.

He had a Freudian slip in an interview in which he said "MY MUSLIM FAITH" have you ever slipped and said that? Didn't think so. See honesty is THE MOST important thing as a PRESIDENT as far as I am concerned. I don't care that he was born in Kenya, but I do care that he lied about it, I don't care that he hangs out with terrorist really, I do care that he lies about it, I do care that he is a communist and he lies about that also.

Umm in context of a conversation I have said something along the lines of "and as a christian" which in no way shape or form am I. And again I'm pointing out to you, that your "facts" are fallacies that people use on the campaign trail to try and distract people from voting for candidates based on actual facts. Again, I don't even believe in most of Obama's politics but I feel like I'm being forced to defend him with your stupid remarks on the subject. It's not a lie to say that you aren't associated with a person that worked on an issue with you, which by the way was for the common good. And if you are worried about lies, maybe you should take a harder look at your favorite McCain/Palin. I have never heard more bullshit in my entire life.

NO!!!!! not that. Coming from a person I assume supported Mr. Pinocchio BushCheney and presently supports the two biggest liars who have ever shared a ticket in McCain and Miss Moosejaw, this is truly hilarious. They all lie, but what difference would this one make? So he is a Muslim-Christian-Jew whatever. He will still be a better president than any we have seen in our lifetime. Bin Laden would be a better president than the one we've had for it seems like 800 years instead of just 8.

nobamagirl you have to be one of the most bigoted and ignorant people on this site.
you have also missed the point of this post, although that does not surprise me in the least
the POINT of this post... since you seem to need it spelled out for you... in no uncertain terms... follows what Colin Powell asked in his interview recently.
This country was founded on the ideas of the first Amendment which include the freedom of religion. THIS would mean that SHOULD a man of muslim faith decide he would like to run for presidency... whether it is Obama (who happens to be a Christian) or Keith Ellison who IS a Muslim, they should NOT be persecuted for their religion or shown the hatred that YOU and YOUR FRIENDS have spat out. That a persons religion should NOT matter, nor should the color of their skin, the state their were raised, who they were raised by, whether or not they go to church, temple (uhm, thats where the Jews go... you know... the Jews... another religion you probably hate?).. or Mosk. What we are saying in this post is the correct answer to "Is Obama Muslim" Shouldn't be "well it doesn't matter because he isn't" it should be "who CARES if he is."
Only bigots like you care.
OH and I hate to break it to you... if we want to talk about LIARS... you should take a deep.. HARD look at your favorite candidates... who have lied from day one... "Thanks, but no thanks?" "I will give money to special education needs" (when the reality is she CUT special education funds by 62% ). McCain saying he always votes with Veterans when he voted AGAINST veteran and soldiers medial and armor needs 10 times. the list goes on dear. They lie everyday. But you are more concerned with a man's religion than you are with the real issues.
Bigot.
