Did you read the news report posted by the person above your post? Obviously not... :rolleyesedit:Am I supposed to be terrified of the Brown People? Or is the fact that at least one of them appears to be a Muslim supposed to make me soil myself?

You obviously didn't read it.Oh, I read it. I still don't care. Even if the article is accurate, I see no problem with a Muslim president. I've put up with Christian posturing from other candidates whose behavior is grotesquely unchristian. What difference does it make if this one claims Christianity and happens to have been raised a Muslim? Quite frankly, most of these fear-mongering posts seem to be the product of complete ignorance with regard to Islam.
But hey, panic if you like. You have every right to xenophobia, and I have every right to be disgusted by it.

It has nothing directly to do with him being Muslim. It has everything to do with him being Muslim and publicly lying and denying the fact.

...the REAL scare factor?...he'd appoint LIFE TIME POSITIONS to the Supreme Court...Just like in IL...his appointments to those seats will use Supreme rulings for Social Engineering vs actually interpreting the law....makes me not care if he worships Jesus or the EasterFrickenBunny...
Last year I read the Koran. In fact I still have it on my desk. While some of the posts you refer to as fear-mongering may be false themselves, it seems Obama wants to hide or distance himself from his Muslim upbringing.
Here is an article that asks if he should be charged with apostasy for converting to Christianity. Its a Middle East Forum

Yeah, and sadly his voting record just barely scratches the surface.That's insightful, and it's exactly why I don't care for Obama. He's worrisome enough without the irrational fearmongering.<snip>As Annie said, there are prefectly valid reasons to dislike Obama, but whether he distorted his religions background is not one of them.

I'm impressed that you made the effort to study the book. My primary point is that it doesn't matter whether he's trying to distance himself from a Muslim upbringing. I don't care what religion he is, was, or will be, and I certainly don't give a damn how he chooses to spin religion in his campaign.

Spin doctors spin, the candidates speak and you still don't know jack frack. So look at their record and the not so lovely truth shines through. And neither candidate is really worth their salt. If you can partially stomach one, vote for him, if not, don't vote for either one!
...but if you don't vote, you also don't get to b!tc# about what they do in office, because the first question needs to be "Did you vote against him?" If not, <bzzzt!> Wrong answer, but thanks for playing 'Who's Most Likely to Destroy the America We Love?' Next contestant please."

Yes, you do, and I never said otherwise. I'm just saying in response to Santee's suggestion that people not vote that in not voting, you're not denying both awful candidates the job, you're just refusing to make a decision. Granted, it's like choosing whether to eat a horse manure sandwich or a cow manure sandwich; either way, you still get a bad taste in your mouth.Being an Illinois resident, I know a little more about Obama's record - and it's affects, than McCain's.
At least McCain's has a few positives.
Woot!I'd love to see an election where "none of the above are acceptable" was a choice on the ballot.
