The smear campaign is out against Obama
The sad part is some people are stupid enough to believe this shit....
www.electoral-vote.com


"On Thursday, I mentioned that a smear campaign against Barack Obama is already in full swing. Multiple readers, from different parts of the country, sent copies of the e-mail they had received about him being a Moslem. It is reproduced below verbatim.
Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta . Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama hasm joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one oited Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!! If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts.........this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States ........ better heed this and pray about it and share it.

THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED, "ONE NATION UNDER GOD". ALMIGHTY GOD, NOT THE GOD OF THE KORAN".


See Snopes.com for rumor debunking.

2. L:OL!
Actually the Muslim God is indeed to Christian God, they are sons of Abraham but then again nothing in that email was based upon fact except his mother and father.

3. Expect to see more of this sick crap
Especially if Obama becomes the nominee.

The radical right will churn out this stuff faster than McDonald's
can turn out greaseburgers. And the RNC will disavow all knowledge
of their actions, should any of them be caught or killed, etc etc etc.

"One nation under God?" The nut cases have been citing that one for a
while now. Besides the fact that the Pledge was written in 1892, and not
in 1776, and by a socialist baptist minister at that, the "under God" part
was added much later, and over the author's objections to any editing of
his pledge. The nut cases of the radical right conveniently omit that little
detail, of course....

8. Outrageous smear attacks tend to vaccinate the candidate against other attacks
After the wrong-headed or exaggerated smear attack is struck down. Those who heard the attack will often be resistant to further attacks in the same vein. Bush's campaign used this kind of stuff to protect him against drug usage charges.
