CNN’s Crowley blames Obama for persistence of Muslim myth

[democracy1st]

CNN’s Candy Crowley told Politico’s John Harris that President Obama is to blame for the persistent myth that he is a Muslim.

Candy Crowley, host of CNN’s “State of the Union,” thought the myth persisted because of “the lack of any kind of evidence to the contrary,” noting that President George W. Bush was often seen going to church while Obama goes less often.

Right-wing media just can't quit attacking Obama's faith

Following polls showing that an increasing number of Americans wrongly believe President Obama is a Muslim, right-wing media figures have used the opportunity to continue to sow doubts about Obama's religious convictions.

18. You can tell where she gets her news from checkout this piece

Hannity, guests suggest it's Obama's "actions" that have "skewed perception of the religion he practices"

3. I hate Candy Crowley. Seems as if she is showing a personal bias

because how else can you explain such a bizarre leap of logic?

Not attending church = Proof that Obama is Muslim?

I must be a Muslim as well because I haven't gone to church in about 20 years.

8. I have not gone to church in over 40 years

So I am twice the Muslim you are;-)

4. the meme is there for 2010:

Obama soft on "those Muslims" and where are the jobs?

All based on lies but John Kerry who had 3 Purple Hearts, 1 Bronze Star, and a Sliver Star was labeled a coward .......
the truth means nothing to these people.

5. I've always thought the traditional idea of black leaders hurt him on this front

If he were white, it wouldn't be something that is questioned. However, seemingly every African American leader starting with MLK has come from a religious background and the fact that Obama doesn't fit that stereotype surprises some.

7. Aghh. It's *CNN and company* that's perpetuating the myth.

About all I watch on CNN these days is Fareed Zakaria's show on Sundays.

9. Crowley always reminded of of a right winger.

And there you have it, she is. On the other hand, CNN is Fox "News" junior.

12. You're right they continue to sell that bs that MSNBC = Fox

15. Cowley IS a right-winger.

I've seen how she behaves for some time now.

Time to get her fat ass off of cable news.

10. Funny, I blame ass carrots like her instead.

11. If he wasn't going to church...

then I guess Rev. Wright is irrelevant.

[Canuckistanian]

13. Bush was often seen going to church??

In what universe?

It was OFTEN remarked here and elsewhere that he RARELY went to church.

16. "Bringing in the sheaves,..."

14. I guess Candy's own reports during the Rev Wright fiasco were imaginary.

You'd think being forced to answer for the comments of your Christian pastor would imply you actually shared that faith.

17. Constant theme

BP Oil Spill = Obama's problem

Breitbart/Fox lies on Sherrod became a Race probem for Obama

Now it will be interesting to see if one right wing Pastor comes out and calls BS on this whole thing?
