This is neither an admission of anything nor a slip due to the lack of a teleprompter. Some Republicans have been claiming that he is a Muslim ever since he became a candidate. He simply states on the video that McCain has not made such accusations personally. It is George Stephanopoulos's interruption that makes it look like a slip.

You are absolutely correct. He did not misspeak. He did simply say that McCain did not make claims that he was a Muslim.
Reply
What he did do is restate it in a way that he could not be taken out of context by the Neo-Cons and that the quote could not be replayed on ad nauseam on Fux.
He deftly saw that it might be misinterpreted against him and nipped it in the bud.-

Even catching it immediately and explaining what he meant by it wouldn't have been enough to keep it from being front page (press) and leading news item (TV) material for weeks had he been a Republican. Were he a Republican the mainstream media would see it as an indication of low intelligence because (according to them) he was too stupid to say "my supposedly being a Muslim" instead of "my Muslim faith," and would report it in a way that made their opinion evident.

I think he would be very tired by now and it could be a slip from that. This is not some grand plot by Muslimsto have on of their own to take over the country. If the man want to pray to Jesus one minute, Allah the next and some Hindu image or denounce that any God exists I don't really care, as long as he will not do anything to stop others from having freedom of speech and religion.

He really does need to whatch what he says this close to the end of the elction though, their are many undecided that take these sorts of slips seriously.-

You are probably right, he is more than likely very tired, however he didn't say he was a Muslim. He said that McCain hadn't made the Muslim accusation, then George Stephanopoulos took the comment and ran with it. So much for left leaning media!

That just means "God is great," and a politician of any faith addressing a Muslim audience would do the same. Would you suspect a white Christian candidate (Huckabee, for instance) if he addressed a Jewish audience about faith and said the Shema (which translates to "Hear oh Israel, the Lord is God, the Lord is One")? Would that make you think he was secretly Jewish, even if he said it in Hebrew?

I doubt it.-

The term has been an Islamic battle cry for many centures. Also, 1) Huckabee was not raised Jewish, and if even he was 2) I'm not aware of the existence of millions of Jewish terrorists, although no doubt hyperbola considers all Jews except those advocating the destruction of Isreal to be terrorists.

I'm more worried about what the Palestinians are doing to everyone else. That's why they've been kicked out of Jordan, Kuwait, and other countries. Arab states don't want them in their countries so I get tired of people beating the Palestinian issue drum. Maybe you should make sure that you can spell "trailer" properly before you call someone else a "tard". If you're going to be a sarcastic douchebag, do it right. I have read a considerable number of books on the subject of the Crusades and the history of the period is commonly misrepresented by the left.

Neighbors? How friendly would you be to neighbors who tossed you from land you had owned for generations with no compensation? BTW did you know the Jordanians were forced to eject the PLO or suffer the consequences form Israel? Kinda like Bush and the Republicans if you dont play our way.

Really. When I spent the Summer in Israel on a kibbutz, the meanie Jews would make one pass over the potato field with the harvester machine. Any spuds too small to be picked up were left for area Palestinians to gather--free of charge. I watched them fill a half dozen baskets in a matter of hours...just during my 4-hour shift on the machine.

MEAN JEWS!
I could go on about the life-saving surgeries and organ transplants these brutes force on Palestinian children, but I think everyone here gets the picture.
Fortunately, Jew-Bob is on the job. He lurks where unsuspecting Gentiles fail to notice his Mossad bodyguards, keying in laser-guided bomb coordinates from his laptop in Parma, Ohio, relayed to a satellite uplink located in the basement of his local synagogue, directly to patrolling F-15s and F-16s.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Jew-Bob is always vigilant.

Oh, please. Religious Muslims also say it at weddings, and when their babies are born. They say it all the time!
Reply
Christian's have said the Lord's Prayer for centuries when going into battle as well. Should we call it a "Christian battle cry"?
Look, I also think Islamist fanaticism is (currently) the greatest evil of our age, and the struggle against it is our greatest challenge. But I'm not willing to fight it with bigotry and emotionalistic hyperbole. That's not the American way, and I don't want it to start to be!

Typical lib....
Reply
Complacent after 9/11 thinking no one else out there in the world wants to kill us and our families anymore....
Of course under Bush's watch we haven't had any attacks on American soil, but the libs will maintain that had nothing to do with him....They only give him credit if a hurricane hits New Orleans and the government does nothing or the economy is doing poorly....
That is why we cannot allow a liberal imbecile in office like "Mr. inflate your tires" Osama in office....-

Actually, because of this stupidly planned and executed war, we probably have a lot more people out there who want to kill us. That's why we need someone who will end this war and bring our troops home rather than someone who will continue the failed practices of a rogue administration that has been allowed by a complacent congress to run amok all over the constitution that this once great nation was founded on.

When the best you can do is put up a candidate who changes his position form the beginning to the end of a speech and a VP candidate who most telling characteristics was she was in the PTA you grasp at straws. The AG crowd posting this is another example of an attempt at lies and spin which seems to permeate the GOP. Do we really want another 4 years of that???

He is a Muslim apostate. That means that once he was a Muslim ( his father was one and raised like one in Indonesia) but turned his back on that faith. He is now a Christian. The big problem is according to Sharia law a Muslim apostate is to be killed and any government official is not to stop it. So what will happen if he visits countries with Sharia law, like Iran or Saudia Arabia?

ridiculous. the only thing it proves is that the blog where this came from (say anything) is appropriately named.
Reply
yet another non-story from the right.
the people who believe obama is a secret muslim are the same type of people who believe Iraq was responsible for 9/11. the truth doesn't matter at all to these people. they're just looking for something, anything, that re-enforces their hatreds and fears. and they don't care if its a rumor, an innuendo or a complete fabrication.-

Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.

-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom
This is why religion should be no part of the debate!
But no one on the Right listens much to what Jefferson had to say these days. He wouldn't be terribly welcome in their churches either. -

a wisper here a wisper there and rumor becomes fact. It happens to you and me all the time. Why is it so hard to accept that it will happen to B.H.O. Most adults are smart enough to just let it go by and make the choice based on record and performance. Oh yea thats right if we did that we would just vote present and move away from making the hard choices..........

"I wouldn't vote for Mohammed Ali either if he ran for President."
Reply
W-o-w. I think you summed up your personality perfectly by this statement, DropkickaLib. Oh and great name by the way. I think NarrowMindedJackAss would have been better for you personally, but whatever.
One would assume that any thinking, half intelligent dim wit would know that you shouldn't judge an individual because of their religious views or affiliations. For you to denounce a great man like Ali without even listening to his views is both bigoted and foolish. But I'm sensing that this isn't the first time you've polluted a solid conversation with your fallacies. From now on, just read along and be quiet like a good little boy. Save a little oxygen. Feel me?

OBAMA has brought it up more than MCCAIN...I have yet to hear MCCAIN say anything about his race, and yet OBAMA has mentioned it on numerous occassions...

you fool no one on propeller with your little introduction of faked objectivity.
You are attempting to spread a lie, like someone with a cold deliberately sneesing on others.
In other words, this post is snot .
And by the way; as per your suggestion: we do judge .
We judge you a fraud. -

I think it's just another example that Obama sucks without a teleprompter
Reply
Nah it's another example of how the right wing sucks in this country. It's neither a gafe nor an admission. It's a sound bite clip use to try and convince people (who aren't otherwise too bright) of something that isn't true. -
