mccain and palin will try to compel the media to cover the wright angle again by stumping about the story and raise doubts about WHO IS THIS BLACK GUY, but it's an inefective media strategy, really. the first time around, wright was a juicy story but it was the media who did all the work on that story -- the clinton campaign got the media to work on their behalf without much coaching. then obama gave an historic speech on race and that was pretty much that. unless there is any NEW aspect of the wright story, cable news doesn't want to cover rev. wright anymore, it's a dead horse and they have no new content. so naturally, the networks will take the story of "john mccain is being negative" as their news and ha ha ha.

might be a good time to review a list of logical fallacies - a few faves from the nutball right.

yeah I mean it's not as if the media is interested in actually pursuing the question of "is Obama a muslim terrorist?" unless G. Gordon Liddy and Hannity count as the media. This is such a non-starter. Everything that could possibly be said about this tactic will have been said by tomorrow night (larry and wolf being a day late and a brain short as usual) and they'll have to try something else again. Hey, I have an idea. Let's put the two of them on teevee again for an hour or two, have all the fucking pundits call it a tie and watch another state turn blue.

Obama is likely to be Muslim because:

* Obama's background and education are Muslim
* Obama's middle name remains Muslim, meaning "descendant of Muhammad," which most Christians would not retain[8]
* Obama recently referred to his "Muslim faith"[9]
* Obama uses the Muslim Pakistani pronunciation for "Pakistan" rather than the common American one[10]
* Obama, in his autobiography "Dreams from My Father" (1995), descibes Muslim Malcolm X as his favorite black leader
* Obama's claims of conversion to Christianity arose after he became politically ambitious, lacking a date of conversion or baptism.[11]

After working as a community organizer in New York City and Chicago, Illinois, Obama enrolled at Harvard Law School. He became a member of the Harvard Law Review, which uses racial quotas, in 1989.

joe 40oz (deej), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 02:42 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, that is wow

"allegedly born in Honolulu"

"the odds of obama being truthful in his claim that he converted to christianity are less than 100 to 1 against it, as fewer than 1% of muslims convert to christianity"

!!!

weird maths

monster (cozwn), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 02:44 (fifteen years ago) link

they should have it with other popular figures.

John F Kennedy claimed to be President of the United States of America, the highest office in the land, but this is unlikely to be true, as less than 1 in 100 people are elected to be President.

schlump, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 02:44 (fifteen years ago) link

"This claim was an exaggeration as Obama only held summer jobs while in college and law school[18], and he would have likely benefited from special scholarships not available to most students."

YOU KNOW THE SCHOLARSHIPS I MEAN

Obama repeatedly pronounced "Pakistan" as "Pokiston" in the first presidential debate.

No longer presumptive

He's the real-deal nominee at this point. Athuroglossos 13:11, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
He's presumptive in the sense that Obama is far too inexperienced to be President. Redstatepride 18:56, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 02:49 (fifteen years ago) link

He has no clear personal achievement that cannot be explained as the likely result of affirmative action.

i told you this scheme would come to no good.

schlump, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 02:49 (fifteen years ago) link

We know many liberals love deceit, and the birth certificate posted by Obama's campaign has obvious defects. Even its number is blotted out for unexplained reasons. There are still unanswered questions about his place and date of birth, and what is on his real certificate, which his campaign has not released. We provide the information about this and let the reader decide.--Aschlafly 13:12, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

If elected, Obama may become the first Muslim President of the United States.

joe 40oz (deej), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 03:00 (fifteen years ago) link

does that mean he's not muslim?

i am afraid that president obama will not only have to deal with a deep recession and an overreaching, precarious international standing, but also with all sorts of ruby ridge / waco / okc bombing / unabomber type shit when all these kindly christian folk retreat into the hills into their own sovereign nation-states, against the muslim president

and then the defeated gov palin will contract a private army to secure alaska's independence from the muslim states of america

Dave Neiwert's been talking about this for a year or two, about how the deep-militia/proto-fascist types who've been courted and encouraged over the last 8 years will finally turn even more violent. Much less what will happen when these fuckheads start spreading the dolchstosslegende again(which they kinda already have)
