Comment: I am wondering if other registered voters in the USA know
that we have a Muslim running for the Presedency? This makes
me nervous as hell. Barack Huessein(?) Obama knowing his
Muslim affiliations with Iraq and Iran is a little like sleeping w/ the
enemy.

The obvious Internet connection makes it even more terrifying, huh?

With the mix we've got, I'm sure at least one of the presidential candidates IS.

I had a conversation about Obama's "name issue" with my mother. She was convinced that the American people were not dumb enough to equate Barak Hussein Obama with Sadam Hussein or Osama bin Laden or even the Muslim faith just because of his name. I was convinced she was wrong and that we were, in fact, mind-blowingly stupid.

She owes me a dinner!

It is a sad reflection upon our society that if he were to change his name to "John Tyler" he would no doubt get significantly increased votes. Of course, I could just be being racist against today's Americans, making the assumption that this is the case.

Tut, tut, Johnny, don't you remember Archie Bunker on a balanced ticket? "That's an Italian, a Jew, an Irishman and a regular American."

Maybe we should let them run for office. The free world could certainly use better funding for toy research.

Comment: Re OBAMA article:
I watched the Obama program when he announced his entry into
the Presidential election race. He is a master orator and also
an excellent Rhetoric speaker.He had the audacity to equate
himself with Abraham Lincoln. I am of the opinion that the whole speech
was rhetoric as described in defenition #5 in
my dictionary, "Language without honest meaning or intention"
I also noted that some of your information may have come from
Obama's web site which is his political"voice" I think that he
my well be a plant in the USA in futherance of the Muslim goal
of making muslim the world wide religion{ala the "5th column"
in the WWII era).

Wow ... it took some serious organizational skills to make that "plant!" With such planning and clairvoyance abilities working against the US, we really are doomed! Doomed! To ... um ... something ...

If you are a muslim and you don't renouce your muslim background, you are
still a muslim. If you convert to Christianity or another religion you
might
be considered "crazy or mentally ill" by the Muslims. This guy took office
swearing on the Koran not the Bible.

He is muslim.
But what disrupts me is not his race or religion, but that he is
fundamentalist muslim and we are at war with Iraq and Afghanisitan. We are
also at war with terrorists in most of the muslim counties around the wold
including Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, etc. and YOU are trying to
protect him!
You are telling everyone he is NOT a Muslim, but he is a Christian.
If he gets into office, our country will be in ruins because of YOU!

Comment: I'm assuming that you have ulterior motives for debunking the
claims in the email you quoted that states Barack Obama is a Muslim or
that his father was a radical Muslim. Did you interview his father? Is it
not true that all Muslims appear to be radical? We've seen enough of how
they treat the females in their religion. We know that they are the main
thrust of terrorism. Who would argue they have religious states often run
by Muslim demagogues. How many heads do you need to see whacked off on TV,
before you decide that Muslims are both radical and not very trustworthy.

Discovering all of this information AFTER Barack Obama becomes president
is too late. About the only thing you proved to me was that his parents
are both avowed atheists. Not a good background for becoming president of
the U.S.

I fail to see the reason for you to spout a bunch of unsubstantiated
details attempted to turn our heads from the truth about this man, Obama.
You are as guilty of falsehoods...as the people you claim were making
false statements about Barack Obama. Stay out of politics, or at least
give the other candidates equal time and coverage. Your way off base with
this article. You're quickly losing credibility with America's
conservatives.

Have you ever know a single politician who told the truth all the time?
They tell us what they want us to know. Not what is the truth. It's hard
enough to determine the best qualified candidate without people like you
getting involved. I'm sure you feel that all of Hitler's ideas weren't all
that bad, either.

He's getting Keith Ellison mixed up with Obama, but in his defense I'm sure that all black guys must look alike to him.
