Poll question: What was the source the last time you heard about the Obama is a Muslim lie?
Seems to me the only people keeping this old story alive are Obama supporters.

3. Where does one vote for a rival candidate supporter?
Because that's where I last heard it. Can we get that option?

6. Well, I guess I'd have to vote DU, because the last time I heard it was this very poll.
Are you an Obama supporter, then? :)


Kidding aside, I've actually thrown it out there myself, but only as a joking response to other obvious bullshit. For example:

Idiot: But Hillary had Vince Foster killed!
Me: Yeah, and Obama's a Muslim.

7. I've never heard anyone even remotely left-of-center say that.
It's always been some wingnut at some online forum.

Seriously, I've never encountered anyone in real life who bought into that bullshit.

8. My HVAC Instructor....
at the trade school I went to. A white trash Republican trying to influence the young guys that were in my class.

He also spouted every tidbit of misinfo to ever come off of FOX News, but after a while of my openly countering his lies, the kids started laughing at him, and he stopped talking politics all together.

I should've added "Hillary" because an OB supporter just claimed she started the emails.
What a bizzare world ObamaNation lives in.

13. "Before that was a Hillary supporter trying to play it up"
Today it's an Obama supporter - also claiming that Hillary started those emails.
But that poster's "bulletproof", no way their thread'll get locked.

14. Yesterday, on the Ed Schultz show, from two different callers.
The first caller was obviously a Hillbot, going on and on about how important it was to elect a woman president, and then finally saying that America will not vote for a BLACK MUSLIM.

The second caller (later in the show) was even worse. She also expressed a clear preference for Hillary, and then proceeded to rehash every last false talking point from the "Obama is a Muslim terraist who went to a Madrassa school" e mail that was circulated by the (now-fired) Camp Hillary state chair a couple of weeks ago.

But this horrible racist woman wasn't done yet, she then claimed that Obama took his oath on the Koran when he was sworn into the Senate, and finally said that as a "jew" she would never vote for the "enemy that we are at war with" or words to that effect.

Ed's guest host Norman Goldman went off on her ass for that, and basically called the woman a disgrace to Democrats AND Jews, and indicated that he was extremely offended that someone could be so racist. I had to agree with him.

Now I posted references to these calls in another thread yesterday, and they were mysteriously deleted. But I can't be the only one who heard the show, and these two racist idiots. And sorry Hillbots, but both of these callers were clearly in your camp. That's certainly not to say they speak for ALL of you, but the fact that the campaign has now had to FIRE at least two highly placed people due to racist tactics, does not speak well of the entire organization.

18. Since that statement wouldn't make a damn bit of difference
to people what good is it for repeating it. Only to garner sympathy for Obama, that's all. Ellison won in Minnesota and the republicans pushed the fact that he REALLY was a Muslim.

28. Mission Accomplished! I got owned by the Obama supporter who brought this up again this AM
I saw right through it, it was so obviously transparent, that it was a ploy to get the topic going yet again.
And then I took her bait anyway. Hook, line, and sinker.
Ah well, if that was what it took for her to feel good about her candidate, so be it.
She has to find some reason, at least.
:toast:

29. I believe the last time I heard about it was on The McLaughlin
Group, where they were discussing as being false and criticizing those people who were using that "fact" to criticize Obama.

30. Actually, I had to look it up on the internet. The MSM never says a bad word about Obama.
They are saving it all for the general election.
