Ya. I mean I don't think most people care what Obama is unless he's a fundamentalist of some sort (which he isn't).

I agree with the previous commentators. It's pretty horrible that they're trying to make lies up about him because he is perceived as other in order to make him seem more like an outsider.

I mean I'm on one mailing list with a troll who repeatedly has made the baseless accusation that I am an "illegal immigrant" when I'm not even an immigrant and was born in the US, but bases this accusation on my "funny" sounding Spanish language name and that I'm a little bit darker skinned.

It's in the same sort of spirit that this random troll calls me an illegal immigrant to be kicked out of the country as people call Obama a "Kenyan?" "Muslim". It's xenophobia plain and simple.

Oh yes he's definitely racist, xenophobic, also a Christian fundamentalist, homophobic, (self-repressed homosexual), misogynist, he used to be gay but when he found "Jesus" after 9/11 apparently decided he wasn't gay anymore and became "ex-gay". He's also anti-Muslim, anti-government. He's like a walking right-wing stereotype. We can't kick him off the mailing list so we have an open conspiracy that we tell anyone who joins to make a filter in their email to just send his emails directly to trash. So he tries to be a troll but no one responds to him or even reads him! The great irony is that he is on a rave mailing list, and rave/EDM culture has been known for its ideals of inclusiveness and it not mattering who you are as long as you're respecting others and there to dance and enjoy music.

The right-wingers want back in power and will do anything it takes to get it. When Rush Limbaugh was asked what the right's plan would be, he said, 'tax cuts for the wealthy.' That was all he could come up with. When Sen. Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader, [R-ky] was asked what his party had planned he refused to answer--because the only plan they have is tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% and more war. Unfortunately, the democrats are just as corrupt--both getting their support from national and international corporations.

Doone has this one right. Every time someone at work refers to our 'secret muslim president' I remind them that they were all up in arms about his reverend before the election. I was under the impression that reverends weren't muslim.... ;)
Yesterday we were at war with Eurasia, today we're at war with Eastasia, and nobody on the right will question it. 60% of those who believe Obama to be muslim heard it from 'the media'. Can you guess what 'media' that might be?..... :-/

That picture reminds me, Obama has an occasional beer. Muslims don't drink!

Obama is everything bad that we can think of and we don't care wither or not the bad things contradict each other because we are religious like thinkers and facts don't matter. <- sarcasm by the way.
