Is this a Troll Thread or just a thread of people prejudiced against anything connected with Muslims.

Where does Obama say he's a Muslim?

He states that members of his family are Muslim, he states that he grew up in a household where Muslims.

He gives Muslims the historical credit for their contributions and inventions.

He says many positive things about the Muslims and admonishes the radicals among them.

He factually states that this country is not a Christian country. Many of it's founding fathers were Christian and the inception of this country is based on Christian principles, yet we include and respect all other religions and philosophies.

Better yet, just go over to this nutjob's page and hear all the others calling him a liar!

Why would anyone with an ounce of sense listen to this extremely biased, super edited out of context propaganda and believe that it's proves Pres. Obama is a Muslim.

Will you people ever grow up!!!

People are getting their race -card panties in a wad over Obama being call a piece of finely woven unbleached fabric of corded cotton?

Ok, clearly it may have been an insult to the fabric industry and some union that weaves the once favored fabric but he was called a muslin....not muslim! Get over it!

Do you know what an edit job is?? This video has been debunked over and over. Factcheck.org obliterated it. Basically was a complete edit job, with major portions of the speech taken out. Words removed, etc.

Smash 255a; Do you know what a quote is? Or a series of quotes...or a book of quotes? They are excerpts from speeches...or public addresses...or public writings....
The video clip of Obama, edited or not, is his face, his mouth saying the things that demonstrate very clearly his affinity for the Muslim faith, far and beyond any other religion including the Christian religion which he professed to be part of....before the election. You know, he was an attendee at Rev. "God D--- America" Christian church. I like others in these blogs have no problem with other faiths or beliiefs, but I do when people "cozy up" during campaigns and patronize us and then comes out full force for the faith he referred to in the video and...interview included in my post. He did profess gratitude to McCain for not talking about my "Muslim faith." did he not? By the way he is not the first Black President but the first bi-racial President. So far I have not heard one word of praise for his white roots, his Christian faith roots. Perhaps he should go to Bethlehem for his next speech? Rome? He left the White House before Christmas Day and, as reported, did not want a Nativity scene in or on White House Grounds. I don't care what he believes in or the religious group he belongs to...but he should stop trying to be something he is not...whatever that is. He was more "careful" in his comments about the Fort Hood incident (let's not rush to judgment) than he was for the Cambridge policeman who was simply doing his job." Remember how quickly he called the action taken by the Mass. police as reacting "stupidly." But yet, we should take our time saying anything about the Muslim Fort Hood shooter?
It is not the first time. His father left his mother and Obama... and Obama writes a book about his father? Where is the one about his mother? This man is a chameleon....but hi is slowly molting into what he is....what we now see....!
The recently distributed Massachusetts retirees newsletter reports that there is a provision in the new health care bill that requires the reduction of 14% in certain Medicare reimbursements to Mass...because the feds overpaid Massachusetts...in Medsicare...so they say. But why didn't Obama tell us before the bill was passed by the Senate?
A virtual chameleon.
But I digress...back to quotes...series of quotes...books of quotes....or videos of quotes....
"Some people change their ways when they see the light and others when they feel the heat." Author: Caroline Schoeder.
"Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidely as they are not." Friedrick Nietzsche.
It is clear that your "Love of Obama" blinds you to anything else." I stand by the video...It was sent to me and I moved it on...there is no dioubt who is making the statements...edited or not...they are quotes....some are longer than others...his change of neckties gave that away... Quotes....Quotes...Quotes...and your guy made them. Live with it.

Quotes taken as snippets out of context can give wrong impressions, as in that video.

You were aware of that before I just informed you. Weren't you?

Hi Old Gringo! And when was that? This is the first I hear from you. I agree that quotes can give certain impressions but that is the history of quotes. One Internet web site contains 25,000 quotes.

I couldn't agree more that one can get wrong impressions from quotes. The ones Obama made pre-election were quite different than after the election. One bumper sticker in our state says...."Are you sorry yet?"

In other words you stand by hate, you stand by deceit, you stand for lies and every other right wing scare tactic imaginable.

The video was taken from several different speeches, various clips were spliced and diced to make it seem like Obama was saying things that he wasn't. He refers to his Christian faith and his Christian beliefs, and he is a Christian, but that was completely edited out of the video over and over again. Words were edited out, entire phrases and sentences were edited out. When you take out certain words, remove entire phrases and sentences, slice and dice different speeches it is going to change the appearance of what was actually said, and make it appear as something that wasn't. This was the purpose of the video, and you either bought it because you are gullible or because of your own hate and prejudice. Fact of the matter is the video is a complete lie and con job by far right hate mongers.
