I think I have a fair grasp on the situation…
Obama was not raised by his Muslim father. He did not choose his middle name. He did spend a couple of his early years at an Indonesian school, but it was not an official Muslim school. The students were predominately Muslim, but this was not required for attendance. He also attended a Catholic school in Indonesia. Why didn’t you mention that?
Why don’t you bother to mention that he spent far more time at Punahou (5th-12th grades) – which is a Christian based school? (Google it, if you like…)
So you’re suggesting that he has been faking his Christianity ever since he enrolled at Punahou as a 5th grader? That seems a bit far-fetched — and you have no proof to support your claim. It’s 100% speculation and conjecture.
Ayers and Wright are irrelevant. Their views and ideologies are their own. They do not advise Obama on policy and he does not share their views. He does not “pal around” with either of them.
This guilt by association stuff is really ridiculous. Is McCain a fraudster just because he was a good friend of Charles Keating? Is Palin a secessionist because she pals around with folks who would like to have seen Alaska split from the US? Didn’t we have a civil war last time this was tried? See how ridiculous this is?
…Then what was your point of bringing up Farrakhan if not to prove that somehow his endorsement is a solid indication of Obama’s religious and political leanings? Farrakhan and his followers exist on the fringe of society and are therefore completely irrelevant. He has no place in an Obama administration.
Calling people out on their lack of patriotism is a slippery slope, my friend. In America, we have the right to disagree. Your implication that I share views with Wright and Ayers is completely disgusting. I’m a card-carrying member of DAR. (You can research this organization if you like..) Tread lightly…

October 20, 2008 at 11:33 PM #290541boyle_heightsParticipant[quote=Enorah]I have been very troubled as well by the racism. I agree. It should not be “he’s a christian”
It should be “so what if he is muslim”
yes
good for Powell
Also, I feel many people are using the word “muslim” as code for “black” (or the other word I will not post here)[/quote]
I don’t think they are using for black they are trying to associate muslim with terrorism.
