Arab Slave-trader Obama: The Little Lie, and How It Grew
Reply
Last week, Gayle Quinnell, a septuagenarian reactionary from Shakopee, Minnesota, confessed - on TV - to G.O.P. candidate John McCain that she fears Democratic candidate Barack Obama because " he's an Arab." McCain replied that, no, Obama's no Arab at all, but a " decent family man" (implying that the two depictions are mutually exclusive).
...To me, the more intriguing element of this bizarre exchange was the word "Arab," rather than the more common Obama epithets, "Muslim," "terrorist" and "Osama." Mrs. Quinnell's "Arab" formulation was just enough off-key to make me wonder where she picked it up...
No matter where I landed after Googling "obama, arab," I inevitably returned to the same damning quote. It goes: "Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side." Also: "Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America's first African-American president."
Holy Leopold's ghost, Batman!
As I continued searching, I unearthed this shocker, verbatim, on a dozen websites, including Yahoo!Answers. I found it cited by conservative superstars Rush Limbaugh, Monica Crowley and Laura Ingraham. Every repetition of this statistical proof that Barack Obama is "legally" Arab-American circles back to a Web blogger named Kenneth E. Lamb, a self-described journalist who claims a career of "writing and researching" for such august media outlets as the New York Times, the Miami Herald, the Pentecostal Herald and the Jewish Information Network.
...The above statement represents the sum total of Lamb's documentation. There are no footnotes, no genealogical lists, no weblink to the "Kenyan government." There is no proof of Lamb's assertion that every male ancestor of Barack Obama has an Arabic name. For all this "information," the only Web source - for poor gullible Gayle Quinnell, as well as Limbaugh, Crowley and Ingraham - is Ken Lamb. ..
..However, by delving into the Web beyond the point where Mrs. Quinnell hung up her mouse, I learned a few things about Obama's lineage. First, yes, his mom was white. Second, according to Wikipedia and Britannica, Barack Obama's African half originates in the Luo tribe, who fled their roots in Sudan, bound for Kenya, in roughly 1500 A.D. The Luo - who are black as the ace of spades - have no blood connection to the Arabs who invaded Sudan about 500 years ago. Until the early 20th century, Luos got by with only one name. Under British colonial rule, they were forced to take a family name. So Barack Obama's grandfather, Onyango, simply combined his name with his father's, relabeling himself Onyango Obama. Both names, by the way - according to Ethnologue.com - are Luo, not Arabic. Obama means "slightly bent." -

I'm over it too EE, but it appears that even when it's over, we may be as disillusioned as we were in 2000. Early voters in W.Va. are already reporting that voting machines are changing their votes to republican. It's already started.

FTA: "Barack Obama could ride a white horse in an Uncle Sam suit and carry six flags in his teeth and it wouldn't be enough. The Internet is still burning up with the phony story that if he had his way, Obama would replace "The Star-Spangled Banner" with "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" the old syrupy Coca-Cola anthem.

Racism, bigotry, and xenophobia are often cloaked in the garb warn by phony patriots who see America as the land God gave to white Christians.

Sorry to say, this mentality is malignant and will continue after the election is over; it has been here in this country since its conception.
It thrived in Germany during the Third Reich, and it will rear its ugly head against the rights of any person who does not meet their "purity" test.
More sick and dangerous than funny.-

Well Spade, at present the most ugly pogroms are being committed by extremist jews in Israel. Until you abandon the hypocrisy of excusing the actions of "my side", you are really no different than those you complain about.

Israel's'city of coexistence'shows its true colours
Israel has been suffering its worst bout of inter-communal violence since the start of the second intifada, with a week of what has been widely presented as “rioting” by Jewish and Arab residents of the northern port city of Acre.
...Jewish gangs have roamed Acre’s streets and torched several Arab homes, forcing dozens of Arab families living in Jewish-dominated areas to flee.
An Arab member of the Israeli parliament, Ahmed Tibi, observed that what is occurring in Acre is not a riot but a “pogrom”, conducted by Jewish residents against their Arab neighbours.
...Abbas Zakour, an Arab member of parliament and an Acre resident, had written to the public security minister days before Yom Kippur warning that it would offer a pretext for Jewish extremists to attack Arab residents.
He was concerned that, as in previous years, Jews would throw stones at Arab cars breaking the unofficial 24-hour curfew in the Galilee region, where Arabs are a majority. The failure of the police to intervene, he added, “leads the Arab public to believe that police are deliberately allowing the young Jews to attack innocent Arab residents who drive by”.
In a society where the grip of Jewish religious fundamentalism is tightening – stoked by the high birth rate of ultra-Orthodox Jews and the state’s generous support of a separate religious education system – such incidents regularly occur on Yom Kippur and less frequently on Saturdays, the official day of rest....

Wow Obama's wife and John Kerry's' were spotted together, you know what that means.
Reply
Since there was an Internet posting that John Kerrys' wife was in favor of terrorists in 2004.
My wife God bless her is about as hopeless as other Republicans right now. Her mother, God bless her soul, told her, it is time for a Democrat to be in office again.
But my wife is still believing the lies. I can't even talk to her right now.
I really think there is something that blocks their brain from receiving the truth. I have shown her the lies and she still thinks the Republicans aren't lying.
I think it has something to do with the brain hemorrhage she had, it has destroyed some of her vital reasoning areas apparently.
She works for an executive of the Country Wide Mortgage company that failed so miserably. Yet praises his life style of opulence while those who got the toxic loans lose their homes. Turning what was once the American dream into the American nightmare.
Funny thing is whenever something goes wrong for her, she expects compassion and a helping hand.
But she can't see the wrong in what these clowns did. She is a pure Reaganite. LMAO hahahahahahaaha
I tolerate that part of her. Because in some aspects she is a good woman and wife. LOL-

Cradle to grave conditioning is difficult to overcome and Americans are subjected to as much of it as ever occurred in the USSR.

Berkeley submitted a nice commentary from a Russian about what Americans may face soon.
What If US Collapses? Soviet Collapse Lessons Every American Needs To Know
I anticipate that some people will react rather badly to having their country compared to the USSR. I would like to assure you that the Soviet people would have reacted similarly, had the United States collapsed first. Feelings aside, here are two 20th century superpowers, who wanted more or less the same things – things like technological progress, economic growth, full employment, and world domination – but they disagreed about the methods. And they obtained similar results – each had a good run, intimidated the whole planet, and kept the other scared. Each eventually went bankrupt.
