There is a real “long in the tooth” aspect to Hillary supporters, which is a good thing. May they not to soon enough retire to the dustbin of history.

The fact that America doesn’t want a Muslim for president, or anyone too closely associated with Islam, is another good thing. Anyone that thinks having Barry as prez is a chance for peace with Islam is a fool. I’m sure all the troops from Persia landing in Nicaragua would see that as the green light to head north over the open border.

Putting aside “hit job” speculation for a moment…

It is ridiculous to suggest that Obama’s former Muslim status would be anything like an advantage.

As it is, it requires convenient Islamic excuses to pardon him as an apostate because he “converted” so young. One thing is for sure – Zawahiri and Osama will declare a fatwa against him on day one. The following rhetoric will put all of the Bush-Satan stuff to shame.

At very least it will be harder for him to get a hand shake than Condi Rice. How is that good for us?

RMR, any commenter here can set up their nic to link to their own blog, or in the case of one that I know of, right back here to HA. The link appears in every comment they post, and has nothing to do with the content, or recipient, of their comment.

Deliberate faux-innocent smear or well-meaning ignoramus?

I say, “hiding in plain sight”. DELIBERATE.

I do not recall Bobby Boy jumping on the Ellison band wagon and Keith IS a muslim. AND there was a hell of a lot more controversy when he decided to be sworn in while placing his hand on a koran.

You want to see racism? Look no further than the DNC. THERE is your plantation America. Just look at what Team Clinton has been doing.

“Obama is a drug dealer”….He is black after all. Blacks deal drugs right??? (That’s Team Hillary folks)

“He is a muslim”……There are no white muslims right? (That is Team Hillary folks)

“Look at what he wrote when he was in elementary school”…Obviously has an inferior education since he did not attend the same school that Hillary did. (This is Team Hillary)

The only way a black person gets the D nomination is if there are NO whites running. If there are whites running, th e DNC policy is “get to the back of the bus”…..or else.

I thought these were the “facts” about Obama’s time in Indonesia:
1. Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both of the schools he attended
2. Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class
3. Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque
4. As a child, Obama had spent time in the neighborhood’s Islamic center

Someone please tell me if any of these facts are incorrect.

I put Kerrey in the same league as Isiah Thomas. I would label both of them as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They come across as likeable and well-meaning gents but underneath lies a naughty little boy who would trip an old lady crossing the street to get her purse.

Kerrey was an openly biased critic of the Bush administration during the 9/11 hearings, completely overlooking any and all mistakes made by the Clinton administration leading up to 9/11.

Kerrey knew what he was saying, and meant it. He’s a Clinton operative.

Well, there was that inconvenient little civilian massacre business in ‘Nam which came to light around the time he decided not to be a Senator any more, and become an academic.

Dusty — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 03:21:37 +0000

My take is that Kerrey knew and knows exactly what he is doing. It’s all intentional and he’s sowing this crap at Hillary’s behest. Now whether it is closely or loosely coordinated depends on what list he is on at Bill and Hillary’s Vast Influence Trading & Network Foundation. Look for the smear bundlers to pop up after X-mas.

Vinnie,

I tend to agree with RW Wacko. While I usually disagree with Kerrey, at least he had common sense and actually loved his country. I also tend to respect those that earned the Medal of Honor as a Navy SEAL. Unlike the other Kerrey, he is a war hero.

It does sound like he needs to switch to decaf on this Obama stuff though.

“You have to know when your about to say something like that
someone will twist it especially this age of internet and the blogs”.

He means Hillary’s campaign thugs that have played the
dirty on Obama,because I haven’t seen any twisty on the right blogs,maybe I’m wrong,I dunno.

“Did you think about that before you talked about that”.

Are you telling me a Liberal took the time to think about
the consequence’s of their words before they make ridiculous
statements,ooh this is good libspeak.

And when Bob said he met with obama,did he say met or
mellowed Obama,That’s what it sounded like!
