This is characteristic of the most extreme and frankly idiotic spinning of the right wing. It is breathtakingly dumb.
Precisely.

IS REALLY A MUSLIM!!!!! Now i now none of you have ever heard anything like this, but it's right there. They even have someone who claimed to be friends of his mothers boyfriends sisters cousin who had a friend who worked at their house and saw him reciting muslim prayers. Obviously with this type of top notch detective work and WND reputation of non biased reporting we should expect ACTION!!!!


Obamas ‘Muslim childhood’ to become campaign issue?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....funny.

WND = WMD. So THAT's where Iraq hid them...

The linked article in the OP is mostly a rehash of flawed accusations from 2008.

The article is filled with spin and misinformation. Take the section on Black Liberation Theology.

Obama’s closest affiliation with Christianity comes in the form of his attendance, for over 20 years, at Chicago’s Trinity United Church, led by controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr.

Its not Trinity United Church. Its either Trinity or Trinity United Church of Christ. United Church of Christ being the denomination name. I'm always suspect of an article that is so well researched that they can't even get the name correct.

The church practices black liberation theology, a race-specific ideology that sees Christianity as a means to “liberate” people of color from alleged subjugation.

Liberation theology intends to "liberate" all people from oppression not just people of color and there is nothing "alleged" about the subjugation that people of color have experienced in this country.

WND previously reported how Wright’s church magazine, Trumpet, claimed white Christians are “make pretend” believers and conservative Christians emulate the people who killed Jesus.

Follow the links WND provided. The magazine was spun off from the church. Both assertions in the WND article about white Christians and conservative Christians are distortions of quotes provided in their own links.

The Chicago church is heavily tied to the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan.

Where is the evidence that this statement is true? This is just an assertion of the author of the article.

In short garbage in, garbage out.

Nowhere in either of those videos did Obama "admit" either that he was a Muslim or that he was born in Kenya.
