Obama Doesn't Like Muslims???
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
On Monday, two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit, MI were not allowed by campaign volunteers to sit behind the podium.
Both rejections were made in separate instances and by different volunteers.
The staff on hand were trying to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing on television or in photographs with Obama.
Michigan has one of the largest Muslim and Arab populations in the United States, so this is clearly not sitting well with many Muslim supporters.
Obama has even vigorously denied rumors that he is Muslim, though occasionally adds that he means no disrespect to Islam. But the denials seem to some to be implying that there is something wrong with the Muslim faith.
Hebba Aref, a lawyer who lives near Detroit was denied a seat and says, "I was coming to support him, and I felt like I was discriminated against by the very person who was supposed to be bringing this change, who I could really relate to. The message that I thought was delivered to us was that they do not want him associated with Muslims or Muslim supporters."
A volunteer asked three of Aref's friends if they would like to sit behind the stage. The men stated they would, but mentioned they were at the rally with some friends.
The volunteer, an African American woman in her mid-20s, asked if their friends looked and were dressed like the men, who were all light skinned and wearing suits. One of the men mentioned that their friend (Aref) was wearing a headscarf with her suit.
That's when Aref's friend says that the volunteer, "explained to me that because of the political climate and what's going on in the world and what's going on with Muslim Americans, it's not good for [Aref] to be seen on TV or associated with Obama."
As for the second incident, that occurred while waiting in line, two of Shimaa Abdelfadeel's non-Muslim friends were ahead of her. A volunteer approached them and asked if they wanted to be seated in the special section behind Obama. The friends said yes and asked for Shimaa to come along.
That's when the volunteer told them their friend would need to take the headscarf off or stay out of the special section. The friends declined the invite.
When Shimaa confronted the volunteer she was told, "We're not letting anyone with anything on their heads like baseball [caps] or scarves sit behind the stage. It has nothing to do with your religion!"
Although photographs of the event show men with hats seated in the section behind Obama and former VP Al Gore.
Since the incident, the campaign has apologized to the women. However, the two Obama supporters say they feel betrayed by their treatment.
Bill Burton, Obama's spokesman, says, "This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run. We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers."
When in doubt, blame someone else.
Though maybe this time it was the volunteers. Photographs from a Seattle rally earlier this year show a couple in Muslim clothing sitting behind Obama.
Next time, better screen your volunteers better.

Actions speak louder than words. This is disappointing but not surprising
Re: AFAFD – yep. im done too. perez is a deep throating democrat. you can see the same shit on TMZcom and not have to hear all this shit. democrats are fucking idiots. im out
This move is easily explained…Obama will win minority votes over McCain…what he is doing is putting people who might vote for JM behind him and in photographic areas so that it appears that those subgroups are supporting him.
Re: j – that's the biggest bullshit i've ever heard….America wouldn't be were it is right now without the Middle East you dumbass! little puddle my fucking ass…you fucking wish!!! That is American's specialty, taking credit for someone elses work!!!!
If you think his campaign didn't know about this, you're delusional.
The reason he began to deny being Muslim so strongly was because the dumb ass Republicans were trying to use it to discredit him as a true American. With the heat of 9/11, dumb ass American followers agreed that Muslim=Bad=unamerican=a terrorist. Who would want to be associated with that Group if they know that 90% of Americans are ignorant.
No one likes Muslims, not even other Muslims!
Re: Ro – I agree.
Obama is totally out of line there, All people should be respected and he is an idiot to distant his self with such an amazing group of people. Islam is a peaceful religion which needs to be acknowledged. HE shouldn't be elect president now that Hilary is out i think its a lose lose situation for the states. good luck to all you Americans and start feeling the effects of recession thanks to your government.
bologne!
Re: neghe – if you learned how to write correctly insd oF wtng lk a fkn retard, we could understand you. ps, i don't think muslims are to blame at all, its the radicals who interpret the quran in fucked up ways.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. In this posting Perez blames the individual "volunteer" not the party or the candidate. In the previous posting Perez blames the republican party about the racsist button instead of the racist individual who was distributing them. Hypocritical?? OF COURSE!!! Why are you so intellectually dishonest Perez?
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT U EVEN COVERED THIS STORY! HOWEVER, IF IT WAS MCAIN I DOUBT THE MESS WOULD BE BLAMED ON HIS VOLUNTEERS
Wow, the Muslims on here just don't get why he did what he did. If you don't understand politics then shaaaddup u face.
The thing that should stand out in this story is that it was a VOLUNTEER that did this. Not someone on Obama's payroll, or whom with he speaks to on a daily basis. How in the world would this vounteer know what Obama would want?
I sat behind Senator Kennedy at a Obama rally RIGHT NEXT to 2 women in headscarfs. If anything they highly encouraged diversity on the stage. This is simply a case of a bad volunteer… not a bad candidate.
Re: at –
You are so right! I call BS too. None of the Muslims I know would have this BS convo, who the hell would say anything like that:, "Do they look like you?" what would you reply, "Hell no, my friends dress like poor white trash."; "My friends were headscarves."; "My friend has a yarmulke." "My friend wears a turban."
Give away, even if anyone brought that up, it's called a hijab, which is the word a Muslim would use.
Re: Qween – learn to read resources and educate BEFORE you make comments. i have no reason to respond because you're UNEDUCATED. i don't think the middle east would be here if it wasn't for us (little thing called WWII). go back to high school.
Re: jffdr – He doesn't have a brother you dumb fuck. Nice try.
i am a typical white person and i am apalled at obamas outright racism, a note to everyone…
THINK FOR YOURSELVES
dont fall for obama's hypnotism and hype
think about the consequences of having him as a president
if he becomes president more jobs will be lost because rich companies will be taxed to death and they will close and jobs will be lost
to all of those reading this, if you want your job to stay or if you are planning on getting a job in the future, think twice about voting for obama
It makes sense why he did it. Look at all the idiots here claiming he is a Muslim. Unfortunately, he has to distance himself from things that people will attack him on that aren't true.
OSAMA=OBAMA
OSAMA=OBAMA
OSAMA=OBAMA
the american ppl need to stop being dumbasses cause they dont read between the lines, thier so stupid!
OSAMA=OBAMA
OSAMA=OBAMA
OSAMA=OBAMA
why part of Obama is gonna kill us all do u not understand?!?!
THE CHANGE IS BULLSHIT!
The "Great Middle East Project" will continue with him, the wars will continue with him… I'm so glad something like that happened because this is PROOF that the change is a complete bull.
Well, you're they guys who wanted Obama, not Hillary. Get used to this kind of crap; the wrong Democratic candidate was chosen and I'm sure the Republicans thank you for it.
Re: Musli –
If you are so much more educated, you would have probably used "than" instead of "then." That is the proper spelling of the word when being used in that context. Don't brag about how smart you are and then not be able to back it up.
ITS A TRICK PEOPLE!!!!!
stop bein morons and use your brains!
Obama is muslim. he wants people to think he is not muslim so he acts like he hates muslims. but if he wins, he'll love muslims again.
then…america dies.
OSAMA=OBAMA, can alot of u really be that stupid to not realize that OBAMA comes from OSAMA, that dude he killed thousands of people on 9/11!
Google Malik Obama. That is his brother.
HE IS MUSLIM. HE IS THE GRANDSON OF, SON OF, STEP SON OF MUSLIMS (famous). Stepfather sent him to Muslin school in Indonesia.
HIS MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSEIN.
this is pathetic perez.
you being on the internet as much as you are, know how extreme americans can be. look at rachel ray for instance. she got her commercial pulled for wearing a piece of fabric. the redneck "leaders" in this country are just waiting to feed americans something bad about obama. this would have been the perfect opportunity.
good move barack's crew.
you should be ashamed of yourself for even posting this shit perez! you're virtually promoting racism, by implying that this was a racist move.
PUBLICITY STUNT!!!!!!!!!!
He is Muslim himself.
u know what? screw it, i give up.
if u want Obama to be president then fine.
we're all going to die someday anyways,
might as well be tortured before that tho.
Well, think of it this way. Muslims were photographed with him, he would be accused of being too pro-Muslim or a Muslim himself, which would scare off stupid voters who fear Muslims for being different. Unfortunately, Obama must play for the uneducated redneck vote as well as the sophisticated vote.
Did you see the piece on the Daily Show where they interviewed "rural" people in West Virginia? Guess what? Some of these folks mentioned how they didn't want a muslim running this country. "Did you hear he went to a madras?"
Oh, gee, it looks like your posters are already showing my theory to be correct.
I really think sometimes with people like Obama, they have handlers, and secretarys and advisors and half the time he would not even know what they are doing while he was speaking. They are all puppets, because bloody bush has not had a single original thought in his head unless it is was when he makes a dick of himself.
which is pretty much every time he opens his mouth
Having worked on several campaigns, volunteers NEVER pick the people to be on stage with a candidate.
Re: Car –
You are an idiot and ignoramus and a frightened little child. No matter what facts disprove this FALSE rumor, you prefer to spread the untruth of him being a muslim. But say what you really mean. You don't want the scary black liberal to have any power.
One has to wonder why so many Hillary voters would cut their nose off to spite their face. I am referring to the ones voting for McCain? I really don't have any preference for the demorcratic nominee.
But when people basically say "we will show you and vote for McCain"
there is something fundamentally wrong with those people.
There is something wrong with is whole country and we need a change whether it was Hillary or Barack.
So be cry babies and vote for McCain or work harder yourselves instead of waitingt for someone else to break that glass ceiling.
As a gay biracial woman that glass ceiling has reared it's ugly head time and time again at me, but I keep moving and striving.
I offer you the same advice instead of crossing your arms like a 6 year old who didn't get their way.
Hillary isn't done by the way, she has only begun.
Democrat for president should be the mantra.
Ha! I'm liking Obama more and more!

duh! it acutally makes a lot of sense that they would do that. Hello! Everyone is scared of muslims, why would he associate himself with them?? Had they been in the pic people would be making a fucking big deal out of it any way. I don't condone it, but it does make sense.
Vote Osama, I mean, Obama!!!
PEREZ, PLEASE READ ME!! You need to do your research OR keep your blogging to insipid celebrity comments. The deal is, christian conservative Republicans are trying to paint Obama as a Muslim…not just aligned with the faith, but also with the politics of the Muslim world. They haven't gone so far as to suggest that he's aligned with terrorism, but they've gotten pretty close. From an email I received from my grandad the other day (christian conservative) - a list of quotes from Obama's books supporting their claim including…From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' Pretty sad, but true. So it's clear that Obama staff is probably working to keep that image away…a smart thing to do given the election is just in a few months. C'mon Perez, you are a flaming homo…why would you want to do anything to take away from Obama and, in turn, support McCain!!? Wise up and shut up buddy.
It's all an act. Obama bin Laden is attempting to get white support. He understands people really see him as the Muslim terrorist that he is. He believes if he distances himself from his fellow Muslims then maybe he can win the Presidency. Forget it scumbag Muslim terrorist, we see you for who you really are. America is NOT for Muslims! We welcomed all until 9/11, no longer will we tolerate Muslims in this country. You are all murdering terrorist dogs. Go sell what you got in your REAL country Obama Hussein Bin Laden, yes Africa. Where your grandmother is still chasing chickens and practicing voodoo.
FIRST OF ALL PEOPLE YOU CANT BE RACIST TOWARDS MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT A RACE, THEY ARE PART OF A RELIGION, SO THEREFORE ITS PREJUDICE! But I highly doubt that Obama meant it in that way, especially when at the beginning of rally's he has no clue what his volunteers are doing. Why is it that when he was in deep shit with his CHRISTIAN church he is labeled a Muslim? I could see why his volunteers wouldnt want them sitting up there because his opposers are forever hollering that he's a muslim! And Bill o' Reillys racist ass and FAUX News would have been putting this shit in rotation all day! Perez you ought to be ashamed with that misleading headline. Are you secretly for Mccain because ms. horrible hillary didnt make it? GO OBAMA 2008!
If Obama is to be elected president he needs to keep away from the muslims. Period. Fuck religion, and, especially, fuck muslims.
DUH… it is because people call him Muslim and it is why people will not vote for him. He is not anti-Muslim… People are so small minde it is ridiculous
Wait, so you blame the whole Republican party for the one stupid vendor that sold the tasteless buttons, yet you only blame the volunteers for not letting the Muslim women sit in the special section at the Democratic rally??? What the fuck? You are an idiot!
Given the current political climate? Wow, Obama is really showing political courage with this one. Things like this show his complete lack of experience. He is out of his league. Democrats have bet on the wrong horse.
McCain '08
The truth is b/c the general american populace, while may have finished grade 12 seems to be extremely suceptible to any form of sensationalism. I mean come on the whole Rachel Ray scarf incident that was ridiculous… this in a way makes sense.. if the american populace wasn't so igornant and prejudiced against muslims those vounteers wouldn't have felt the need to do such a thing. … As for feeling alienated…. are those muslims then going to vote for McCain??? That would be almost illogical. And i agree with with Molly's statment as well… If you want to blame anyone for this treatment blame the american populace.. he's in the running… if he did it AFter he was president.. well different story… that's american politics for you…
thats bullshit. that volunteer is an idiot, among other things. how would black people feel if someone said, no black people behind the president to their face? yeah. we all know how they would react.
All his brothers are muslims and he grew up in a muslim country- Indonesia- it's the biggest muslim country in the world.
.
You can convert to christianity, as he did, but according to the muslim religion, since his father is a muslim- he is considered a muslim.
.
He has no problem with muslims. Many friends and family members of his, are muslims.
Are you supporting the Republican party now? You do know Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, right?
The same liberals that support Obama the Muslim Terrorist are the same ones who cheer and revel in the deaths of our brave soilders at the hands of Muslim terrorist in Iraq and Afghanastan. Anyone who would vote Obama has the blood of American soilders on there hands. They should be fairly tried and then fairly shot. How dare you try to elect a Muslim terrorist as President of the USA. We will never let it happen no matter what it takes. We the patriots of this country will keep it safe for Free Loving People!
This is completely understandable if you look at it rationally. It's not a racist thing at all - it's pre-empting the sensationalist racist spin the the US media look to put on anything Obama does right now. So it's pretty ironic that here it is on your site being reported with a sensationalist racist angle. Way to prove the volunteers' point.
so by denying them to sit there it made him look like he wasn't rascist???? That makes no sense! He's a lying freak and I can't wait for him and his "followers" to be put in their place!
Why wouldn't people be nervous about a picture with Muslims in it? The Republicans would trot it out and bash Obama over the head with a pic like that. Wise up people and use some common fucking sense.
Just as a point of interest, how is this misstep any more acceptable than the button being sold at the Republican convention? In both cases the campaign cannot control every single person at an event, or the things that every single supporter may do or say. I find it very unfair that you have portrayed one camp as disgusting and horrific in their actions, while the other simply gets a weak reprimand for screening poor volunteers. People need to open their eyes against bias.
it is hilarious that you guys don't like it when something negative gets written about o. hussein… but, you foam at the mouth eager to believe any smear in print about republicans. you all really should do something more productive with your time… like get educated and quit forming your political views around what an entertainment site says. get a life.
He is a Muslim. He says it in his own book. Again, Obama continues to try and distance himself from what he really is. Loser.
You know Meg below is right!!!! i bet you the RNC sent those bitches there to cause an issue. if they were true Obama supportter and knowing the political climat of this campaign this would have been a non-issue;l AND HOW THE FUDGE DID THE MEDIA GET A WHOLE OF THIS IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE A STINK…I smell RNC
Re: agent – i understand where your coming from, when we actually go beyond headlines and top stories, we would know that the ppl who are blowing themselves are completing naive and do not have a full understand of ISLAM. No where in its teaching does it say commit sucide, It is a major SIN in Islam and those who due will go to hell.
It sad to say that some very idiotic muslims have gave Islam a bad reputation
It is disgusting that this is what America has become after 9/11. I've read comments on here stating that "Obama is a Muslim spy for Bin Laden", and other ridiculous claims. If you stopped blindly hating and took the time to look into the Muslim religion, you would find it is almost EXACTLY the same as Christianity. There's a god, prophets, etc. In the Kuran you will find the story of Adam and Eve, Moses, etc.
Muslims are a peaceful people! Most live their lives exactly the way we do here, and their religion is a huge part of their culture. If their religion and teachings are essentially the same as the western worlds, how could they not be like us?
True, a percentage of Muslims are extremists, a tiny tiny percentage though. And an even tinier percentage of that are terrorists. Nowhere in the Kuran does it say you should sacrifice yourself or humans to gain a place in heaven. Murder=hell, same as Christianity.
I hope if Obama gets elected, this does not continue. Denying a group of people in your country to get all the racist people to vote for you is wrong.
It's funny that now that he has the nomination all this dirt comes out, unfortunately all the Hillary Haters in the media new what they were doing and completely railroaded her. Giving this man the nomination was a huge disservice to all Americans and yes that includes African-Americans as well. God help us if he wins!
We were happy to let ALL people live their lives as they chose. We happily accepted everyone in America. And then Islam sent their coward sons to blow up the World Trade Center and kill innocent people on the planes, in the buildings on on the ground. I will never forgive these muslim scum. I will never allow people to forget those lives cut short by cowardly muslim dogs. I will never allow muslims to go unpunished. They must be hunted down and brought to justice no matter where they hide in the world. We should pull ALL our soilders out and nuke EVERY muslim country. While islam lives innocents will be in danger. Kill them all before they kill us. There point man in the USA IS Hussein Obama. His goal is to become President and hand the country over to his muslim terrorist compatriots. This OUR COUNTRY Obama, get out. You and your murderous kind do not belong here. We will not be fooled by you and your kind ever again
Perez: are you aware of how frequently the mistruth that "Obama is a Muslim" is being circulated in this country - still - 6 months after it started? Please don't add to the mess on this one. This election is important. Barack unfortunately is having to walk a thin line on this issue. His position about Islam is clear. Unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant people in this country, and that's why his campaign has to be concerned about images.
I don't understand people who think Obama is a Muslim. It's pretty sure if you convert to Christianity you're a Christian…unless Christians have stopped accepting non-white people into the flock.
It definitely makes me think what Jesus would do. What? Jesus was Jewish? No way! I don't think we could ever accept the testament of an ethnic person! Seriously all you casting the first stone should just put on the white sheets to hide your shame and ignorance.
Im a muslim .. Living in the UK.. personally i believe tht it is a bit over reacitive as most muslim actios are.. im sure its not that big of a deal. well it was here in the uk. When an MP adresses a muslim ladies hed scarf as a 'postbox' (LOL).. its disgraceful ino!. not that all ur singular minded ppl think.
some fukd up muslims bring this whole "terrorist” persoan around n basically it aint true that we all blow up this n that. Islam means 'peace' most and i must stress MOST muslims inquizit this action and attitude of peace. so dont get a perception on muslims from stupid bastards like fukin bin laden n his troops or as i call them 'trailing willies' haha!
its all about politics:
people already think that barack is muslim and if they were behind him it would only hurt his image with the ever present racists of the world
he has nothing against members of the muslim religion
Re: Repub –
what does his faith have to do with anything? grow up. god
This from the campaign of the "Uniter"??? This goes to show that Obama is nothing but a typical politician. I am not voting for this fraud. I am a former democrat that is disgusted with this election.
Wow… hypocresy reigns … so all Republicans are to blame because of one idiotic vendor at a convention but Obama is completely void of all criticism for the Muslim women being banned? At least TRY to make sense….
This reminds me of the story from earlier in the campaign where the bitch wife was speaking and asked two black women sitting behind her to move so they could have white people in the picture instead of them. If he really was the post racial candidate such posturing and posing would not be necessary. I really hope people start seeing through this poseur.
well, i kind of don't blame the people there… but i don't think it was a personal slight against the individual or against muslims in general. i think a whole lot of american people are just unenlightened and haters - and c'mon people, don't deny, you know it too, and that would bother them greatly, to see a muslim sitting behind barack. me? not so much. I might actually appreciate the fact that his team and himself, are open to and accepting of all individuals… but in truth, the dumb people it may bother are probably not gonna watch obama's speech anyway…so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway…and yeah, its a run on sentence… peace
thats fucked up..i am a muslim and i reallyu supported obama too…this is very disappointing that he would do that if he really did..i hope that it is not true because not all muslims are bad people!!
Re: Rina – Clearly you have not studied the teaching and words of Christ. He said many would come in his name that were not of him. He called the Scribes and Pharisees hypocrits. Clearly Jesus believed and taught that many evil people would come in his name but they are of their father, the devil. The man of sin has yet to be revealed. I believe that Obama is evil and a Muslim. I doubt him when he says he is a Christian. His whole church has proven through their message that they are not Christian at all . They preach a message of hate toward white people and America. They are a politcal group bent on America's and white peoples destruction. God knows all mens hearts and he will be the true judge. The evil of this world will face his judgement
Since people are fu*king idiots, how would we go about making sure they cling to their belief that Obama is some sort of closet muslim bent on destroying 'Mmurrica?
I KNOW! SEAT SOME MUSLIMS IN MUSLIM GARB RIGHT BEHIND HIM! That'll cement the idea firmly in their pea sized brains.
1. The tittle for the news is misleading.
2. Obama is not Muslim. HE GOES TO CHURCH YOU IDIOTS! AND HAS A REVREND!
3. CNN uses propoganda to make ALL Muslims look bad. There are many Chinese people who work in Chinese Fur Farms, inflicting mass amounts of pain and cruelty to innocent cats & dogs & other beatiful creatures, does that mean all Chinese people are mass murdering animal killers? Like wake the fuck up people this poor guy is NOT Muslim, there is nothing wrong with Muslims. Most Muslims in America are better Americans than any white American out there. It sucks to know that in order to be American you have to be white and have a name like John Henry or some shit like that. Let's not forget that America belonged to the Native people before white settlers came and f*cked up the entire country all together.
Obama has a right to run for President, he is not Muslim, and the campaign should apologize to those 2 women–Obama himself should send an apology letter. People are so IGNORANT, and it sucks that it's in the U.S.
these were not muslims they were paid rethug operatives. Sooo freaking typical.
Re: Kelly – well if 2 volunteers did this then obviously there must have been a superior that instructed them to do so. I highly doubt the volunteers decided to do this themselves, of course the campaign gave them the guidelines for doing this. I'm disappointed that Obama did this. wow muslim women wearing their headscarves, if the Republicans had talked about that then they would've looked dumb, now Obama looks dumb
Re: molly – Filthy Muslim? Where did you get the view that Muslims are filthy? Hunny, maybe you should look at your mentality, its pretty pathetic. Have you ever associated with a Muslim? I guess not. Because idiots like you, just shut their mouths and beleive whatever the media tells you to beleive. You are filthy, and you are a plague to a growing, changing America.
BTW, what kind of a hick name is Molly? Maybe your mom and dad are brother and sister, thats why your so f*cking stupid.
Re: Repub – What is American? Please let me know. I didnt know you had to be white to be considered and American. You dumbshit. Muslims, Asians, Latinos…they all have their American citizenship. Many have been living in America, and being great Americans for over 20 years. My cousins live in America, they are Muslim, and they have been there for 25 years and they are voting. So where do you get off saying "no American will allow it" I didnt know being American meant you have to support these policies.
1. Wars that are unnecissary and go no where.
2. A War that is being financed through middle class American's hard earned tax dollars.
3. Blowing up homes, and destroying lives.
4. Cutting down on Health Care
5. F*cking up the Economy
…This is what you have to support and vote for if you're a true "American". Please tell me what a real American is, please. You idiot.
I don't think its hatred towards Muslims– people are ignorant so the situation is what it is… you have volunteers asking Muslims to be placed off the radar…
I don't think OBAMA himself had anything to do with it- if anything his volunteers were at fault. I DOUBT he had a memo passed around explaining his stance and how he wanted his stage to look with what races and how they dressed.. etc.
He probably did that because he doesn't want voters watching to think he's muslim. I know a lot of very shallowminded people who won't vote for obama because they think he's muslim.
"When Shimaa confronted the volunteer she was told, "We're not letting anyone with anything on their heads like baseball [caps] or scarves sit behind the stage. It has nothing to do with your religion!"
THEN HOW COME THERE IS A GUY WITH A BASEBALL CAP ON IN THE BACK…?
Reading all the comments- it's so disturbing. I'm a foreigner, a Christian, but I just didn't realize how racist Americans are until I read all the crap that's being spewed here.
Re: Clair –
Osama, Obama, no difference. Both are major threats to the United States.
What he is a Muslim he just doesn't want us to realize it. He's a dirtbag muslim
1) All Muslims are evil mudering terrorists
2) All mudering evil terrorists should be tried and executed
3) Their Countries should be nuked! Better than nukes would be the bombs we have that vaporize people. Then we could take OUR oil. They are not worth fighting or dying for. They are mudering animals and that is all they will ever be
4) This is MOST important, Obama Hussein is a Muslim
Re: JohnJ – - who is this 'we' bullshit. unlees u're natuve american, you have zero right to talk about who you let unto 'your land' or not.
Re: FYI –
"but according to the muslim religion, since his father is a muslim- he is considered a muslim."
lol muslim is NOT a race.
Seriously WHO love Muslims??
Not even me and my parents are Muslims.
i think if this was really done they might have just wanted to prevent any other issues that people might bring up stupid ones actually
Re: vd – learn how to spell you fucking retard! And if we go by your logic then ALL arab muslim scum should leave the middle east. The Jews were there first and are God's chosen. So go fuck yourself you Muslim dumb shit
You know, I never realized the power of the hijab until I began to wear it. People really are scared of that little piece of cloth.
This is really upsetting to hear. For all this empty words about "change" and "hope" and "coming together", he's just like every other politician- only concerned with image and polls.
Re: Twist – If you ever come to my part of town wearing that I will shove it soooo far up your fucking ass it will be coming out of your mouth. We don't like your kind around here or in this Great Country of America. I wipe my feet on the Koran as it is not good enough for my ass. You fucking towel heads better watch yourselves
I was at the rally in question and I was pulled aside to sit in the special section. The volunteers had to get a certain number of people very quickly to sit in the special section. Each volunteer had a strict number of people to pull. When I was selected, the volunteer asked me how many people I was with. They did not ask any questions about the race of the people I was with. I answered quickly, and did not cause a fuss. I think the people that feel they were discriminated against simply misunderstood the intent of the volunteer questioning them about how many people were in their party. As far as I saw, they were pulling people in groups of two…
To Clair: Let Me Guess….YOU ARE RETARDED? Obama is NOT a Muslim!! But I suppose you voted for Bush and got us into the SHITHOLE WE ARE IN NOW, so it figures! Now go back to watching FAUX NEWS and put your helmet back on so you don't hurt yourself you fucking MORON! And please, DON'T VOTE! People like you scare me!

WILL PEOPLE STOP DEFENDING HIM ALREADY!!
.
HE IS A FAKE, PHONY, SHAM OF A PERSON!!
.
HE IS NOT CHANGE!!
.
HE IS EXACTLY THE SAME - JUST HORRIFYINGLY UNQUALIFIED FOR THE JOB!!
.
THIS WHOLE 'POLITICS OF HOPE' CRAP IS A MARKETING PLOY TO GET PEOPLE TO THINK QUALIFICATIONS AND 'KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE DOING' IS NOT REALLY ALL THAT IMPORTANT FOR THE JOB OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!
.
HE LIES LIES LIES!!
.
HE'LL TELL YOU HE'LL PULL OUT OF IRAQ TO GET ELECTED, THEN HE'LL SAY 'OH WELL WE CAN'T JUST PULL OUT, THAT WOULD BE BAD.' MAKING HIM AGAIN JUST LIKE MCCAIN ONLY INEXPERIENCED.
.
HE'LL TELL YOU HE'S ON THE SIDE OF LEGALIZING GAY MARRIAGE TO GET ELECTED, (AN ISSUE CLOSE TO YOUR HEART, PEREZ) THEN HE'LL SAY IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE STATES TO DECIDE. MAKING HIM AGAIN JUST LIKE MCCAIN ONLY INEXPERIENCED.
.
HE'LL TELL YOU HE'LL FIX OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM TO GET ELECTED, THEN HE'LL SAY, GEE IF YOU GUYS ONLY KNEW HOW COMPLICATED THIS SUBJECT IS, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY I HAD TO WORK WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO REMEDY HEALTH CAR. MAKING HIM JUST LIKE MCCAIN ONLY INEXPERIENCED.
.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE IS JUST LIKE CLINTON AND MCCAIN, EXCEPT HE IS A FAT, FAKE, PHONY LIAR!!!
.
I don't see how he can stand up and say he stands for equality when he treats people of faith in this fashion. Would he also screen out a 22 year old wearing a jesus fish t-shirt or a sikh businessman wearing a turban?
