PSA: Barack Obama is not a muslim

Post by Sir Auros »

Not that it should matter, but for any of the halfwits listening to whatever talk radio and/or Fox News tell them, you need to start looking for another reason to find him entirely unelectable. I suggest the bit about him being black, it fits your* previous beliefs.

Of course, debating the issue in public only reinforces the connection between words. It's a perfectly crafted troll statement.

I'm just ****ing sick of having students tell me their parents or the "news" told them that he's muslim, Iraqi, and/or a terrorist.

For now, the change is that there are non-white or female candidates. Regardless of policies or party affiliation, it's unlikely candidates of either variety could attract nationwide votes.

We aren't getting a non-white prime minister any time soon, either.

I'd like to think the combination of America's distaste for the entirely senseless war in Iraq coupled with the black community getting behind a candidate they think has a chance would strengthen his chances. I am very hopeful, though.

Obama and Edwards are by far the most electable of the candidates running for the donkeys. I love the attack angles that are taken against Obama, the terrorist one still makes me laugh except people are dumb enough in this country to buy it. Oh and I would like to think that someone would tell Clinton that too many people hate her for her to win...sad but true. She's easily the least electable of the front-runners.

Personally, I'd still like to see Al Gore in the race...since that isn't going to happen, I prefer Edwards, but Obama is growing on me. They both seem to have actual plans and goals, which would be light years ahead of the chimp we have in there now. I've been pretty cool to most of the candidates, but I'm warming to those two. The elephants have a competition going to see who is the craziest conservative of the bunch. It's funny how they dash to be the most whacko in the primaries.

The confusion is from his middle name. It was given to him by his dad and he just kept it.

For the record his dad was also not muslim, he was atheist.

I'm having trouble thinking of a front bench non-white MP off the top of my head.


I think Gore's been quiet cleaver by staying out of it this time, effectively his political (as opposed to ecological) legacy will be to be remembered as the best President America never had. And after the lobotomised monkeys who make the majority of American voters (none of whom post here of course, we're all non-lobotomised monkey) turned him down in favour of a **** not once but twice I'd be perfectly happy to say "**** you all" if I were him.

Prescott's usually either red or grey.

Any other UK bods still think Blair's the PM?

The changeover was accompanied by a drastic alteration in absolutely nothing, wasn't it?

Dunno, maybe it's evidence of how the party system should work, with the PM just being their top guy... maybe it's just evidence of how little impact whatsisface has had in my consciousness.

You fell for the whole "killed himself in a bunker in 1945" cover story? d00d j00 got pwned by Hitlar.

I probably shouldn't be doing this in a proper thread, should I?

I always believed the Tomorrow People finished him off in the 70's. "You see Michael, Hitler was in fact an alien..."

Remind me to ban you latter.
