MSNBC Swears to Allah That Obama's Not a Muslim

· Thursday, August 26, 2010

MSNBC's Monday programming was dedicated to denouncing Sen. Mitch McConnell's response to a question about whether Obama is a Muslim.

McConnell said: "We all have to rely on the word of (Barack Obama) -- something about as reliable as a credit default swap."

No, I'm sorry, that's what The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan said about whether Trig Palin was really Sarah Palin's child.

McConnell responded by demanding that Obama be fired -- or at least have his security clearance suspended.

No, no -- wrong again: That was Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Chuck Schumer, respectively, not taking Karl Rove at his word when he said he had not released Valerie Plame's name to the press. (It turned out Rove was telling the truth; it was Richard Armitage, and it wasn't a crime.)

What McConnell actually said in response to the Muslim question was: "The president says he's a Christian. I take him at his word. I don't think that's in dispute."

Over at MSNBC, that's Republican code for: "He's a Muslim!"

North Korean TV's Ed Schultz hysterically babbled: "McConnell gave cover. That's what he did. He gave cover to all those low information voters out there who still believe this garbage about President Obama being a Muslim. ... The Republican leadership just loves to feed the fire."

Chris Matthews was so impressed with Schultz's nonsensical argument that he spent the entire hour on NKTV's "Hardball" making the same one: McConnell had expressed insufficient fervor when he said he believed Obama was a Christian! (Perhaps if McConnell had added something about a thrill running up his leg ...)

The statement "I take him at his word," Matthews said, was a "pitch-perfect dog whistle to the haters." He continued: "Yes, sure, whatever he says. Right. This is not about belief. It's an accusation that President Obama is not one of us. The right wing's attempt to de-Americanize the president."

What else is there besides Obama's word? If Obama suddenly announced that he was a Muslim -- or a Buddhist -- what evidence would Matthews cite to prove him wrong?

Meanwhile, liberals absolutely refuse to take Republicans at their word when they identify their own children. Or deny leaking a low-level CIA functionary's name to the press.

Or when they deny they are racists.

Indeed, Matthews' guest, Howard Fineman of Newsweek, accused the entire state of Kentucky of bigotry to explain McConnell's "crafted" words.

Kentucky, Fineman said, is "a state where the nativist appeal outside of Louisville really works big-time." The Republicans, he said, are "going to use whatever fear message they can. It's aimed at Kentucky, for sure."

I believe the Bluegrass state has just been called "nativist" without any evidence at all! Was Kentucky's father a nativist? Was it educated in a nativist madrassa as a child? Did Kentucky just endorse the idea of a nativist cultural center at Ground Zero?

On the following night's "Hardball," Tuesday, Matthews and his guest, The Chicago Tribune's Clarence Page, refused to take Glenn Beck at his word when he said that he picked the day for his Lincoln Memorial rally without realizing it was the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. (Everybody knows the 47th anniversary is the big one!)

Accusations of racism apparently do not require the ironclad proof demanded for accusations that someone is a Muslim.

And there's a lot more evidence that Obama's a Muslim than Republicans are racists. Let's compare:

Evidence for the Proposition That Obama's a Muslim: His father was a Muslim; his mother, an atheist, married two Muslims; he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia from age 6 to 10; and, during the campaign, he proudly posted on his webpage his statement that America is "no longer" a Christian nation, a statement he has repeated as president, while announcing on French TV that America is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

Evidence for the Proposition That Republicans Are Racist: (Nothing so far.)

Evidence for the Proposition That Liberals Lie About Republicans Being Racist: Video of a supporter of Rand Paul's opponent pretending to be a racist Paul supporter; Oregon public school teacher Jason Levin caught operating a website asking liberals to show up at Tea Parties pretending to be right-wing racists; The New York Times' Maureen Dowd claiming she heard Rep. Joe Wilson shout, "You lie, boy!" when he shouted "You lie!" during Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress; and the mainstream media lying about civil rights hero John Lewis being called the N-word 15 times at an anti-ObamaCare protest, with no one ever being able to produce a videotape, despite a $100,000 reward.

If Republicans played by liberal rules, they'd just call Obama a racist, who leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press, is not Sasha's father, and smokes Newports, not Kools.

Americans, mostly, are an incredibly tolerant bunch. Most are so tolerant, in fact, that the only thing they can't tolerate is intolerance. No matter how intolerable someone or some situation is or becomes, them or it - in their view - can and must be tolerated. Today we have people who don't know or understand history, can't face facts, and have no values for which they're really willing to live by. All now easily scarified in the name of tolerance. Personally, I'm seeing a new America. It is one in which by and large the people are no longer worth the powder to defend. Some have said that the Founder's would roll over in their graves to see us now. No. But they certainly could climb out of them to spit in our face. A republic only belongs to those who can keep it. You've had your shot, America. It's over.

Americans by and large are extremely sympathetic, sometimes without a second thought, to oppressed groups, minorities, and other religions. This is especially true of anyone who proclaims their need for religious freedom, a critical key plank in the founding of this country. But this sympathy to the point of blind faith in others is also our greatest weakness, one that radical islam is ready, eager and able to rapidly and devastatingly use against us.

Look around the world, America. Muslims everywhere - especially now in NYC - are loudly proclaiming islam is a religion and they have every right to practice that religion. But in every single country where muslims have become a majority, things change drastically. Sharia law replaces the law of the land. Extremists of the various sects vie for power over their neighborhoods, not different from African war lords. Endless, devastating wars ensue - until one sect becomes dominant. Then every other form of religion is abolished.

Wake up, America. Europe is being colonized for Sharia law. And whether the obamanation is a muslim or just a muslim sympathizer, his actions have proven one thing: America is next.

Brought up as a Muslim and quacks like a Muslim - good enough for me.

Everyone should research Denmark and how Islam has taken this country down. We need immigration laws which do not allow Muslims to gain more than 5% of our population. If that's racist, I'm proud of it.

Saddened by all the wasted retoric. Obama is a radical with a criminal background. Neither fish nor fowl he is following orders and has no regard for the will of the people. I fear the machine politics holding representative government under the control of criminals, since at least 1860, is a permanent feature. And republicans, pretending to embody the same qualities of the founders, while preaching continuous wars abroud, will inevitably be replaced by an even greater lie. The founders were revolutionaries concerned only with securing freedom at home and its continuing maintenance... the people, in their respective states, can handle the rest. But how many people remain who deserve to be called citizens?

A child born to a Muslim father is, by definition, a Muslim. A Muslim who turns from Islam is considered apostate. It takes great courage for a Muslim to convert because the consequences are severe. Here in Saudi Arabia, the penalty is death. If Obama ever were a devout Muslim, it would take incredible courage to convert and admit it publicly. If he's not a Christian, why would he say he is? Let's see how he lives up to the Christian standard he professes.

All who know the truth and purpose of the founders' view will always be the brunt of liberals' ire as long as they can feel secure in getting away with it. As Ann clearly demonstrates, they can with impunity because they purposely deceive the nation into believing up is down and down is up. So far, they have been far too successful. Thank God, Ann and a growing portion of us are intelligent enough to know better.

The loudmouthed, belligerent liars on the left just keep turning up the volume of their lies so they can hopefully drown out the truth. It's not working, and it has them in a tizzy. They hate America, Christians, and conservatives more than anything else, including Islamic terrorists and an Islamic president. This cultural fight has been brewing for the last 40 years and now we're in it up to our necks. May the truth win and the lies die.

B.B. said; "You've had your shot, America. It's over."

Really BB? I have yet to hear the "Fat Lady Sing". That "Fat Lady" being the confiscation of our firearms. When that is attempted, the revolution that returns to "water the tree of liberty" will begin in earnest. Until that time comes and is defeated, I will refuse to succumb to you defeatist attitude. Your giving up before the first shot is fired. Do you not believe that this country is worth fighting and dying for? Seems to me that if the founders were to rise up to spit in someone's face, it would be yours for giving up without a fight. You dishonor their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor by doing so.

Because deceit is in the koran as a legitimate doctrine. It is part of the islamic religion. You should research it before commenting on it in ignorance.

To A Citizen - My real point was to see if there were still any real American men out there. Thanks.

But make no mistake, we're in for a real fight. The next move WILL be for this communist government to eliminate the Second Amendment and CONFISCATE every gun in America. Picture yourself transported from your day-to-day life right now to the front line of a battle field in the next town over, with no food or water, no sleep, constant running, a mediocre and probably ineffective weapon, and the UN storm-troppers marching straight at your position. This won't be any stomp to "glory" like some of the rebs may have thought in 1861. We will have one incredibly destitute and unsupportive populace to deal with. And don't hold your breath for any cavalry from abroad. It will be a war of attrition. And to the death.

Reading all of the above I am moved to say that everyone concerned both on the left and the right has missed the point that this country was raised up through the Founding Fathers by God Who has plainly told us that He is the one Who puts the leaders He wants in power for His glory. He knows the end from the beginning and I don't see the USofA in any of the prophecies in the Bible. Speaking of which - and before anyone calls me a defeatist - if you check the end of Revelations we win! That is providing you are either for Christ or against Him...

You've just got to hand it to those muslim leaders in NY. Who else would demand (nicely for now) that we admit and accept their professed good intentions and good will toward us? And their proof? They just list ALL the political concessions Bush, Bloomberg, Hussein Obama and other so-called leaders of ours have GIVEN them on our behalf!

B.B., I agree with you. America, the real America that is, is gone. Mostly because people have been too lazy or too frightened to stand up to the chipping away of our freedoms. We all have a finite amount of minutes on this planet and each day the thieving tyrants in DC take some of our lives and transfer that time to illegals aliens, welfare, stimulus, bail outs, buying votes, etc. The freedom they take by way of our earnings is the taking of part of our lives .They partly accomplish this by keeping the public off balance with all this PC crap. I am absolutely sick of all the airwaves taking up all the time with how racist I am concerning blacks, muslims, etc. Muslims want to take over. Why can't the big mouths in the media acknowledge the history of Sharia and admit what their end game is. We've let the special interest groups and the POLS destroy America. I personally don't believe you're an African American unless you're born in one of the many countries that make up the continent of Africa. That is THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF AFRICAN AMERICAN-PERIOD!! If my white business partner in Bloemfontein South Africa came here, became a citizen, he'd be an African American -AND HE'S WHITE so being black makes you black, not African. We let the race hustler obamster and his minions jackson, sharpton, etc continue to cause bad feelings between races because why??? Americans have lost all their sense, all their souls, all their cohones, and soon their very lives. All because it isn't PC to slap the crap out of a commie leftist that's destroying our country. Most of us no longer deserve the freedoms we enjoy.

B.B., I kinda feel bad that I stomped on you with both feet, now that I saw your intention. Please understand, that there are many of us (Oath Keepers) standing by and mentally preparing for that time. In my discussions with other Vets, most agree that the line drawn in the sand is indeed the attempt to confiscate firearms. I agree with you on all counts. It will be in our backyards, it will be bloody and there will be treachery from those that will not be able to stay the course. Open discussion is of course discouraged to avoid the charge of sedition, but make no mistake, the Founding Fathers gave us the mandate and authority to "Throw Off" a tyrannical government if it came down to it.

Ron D, Your still parroting a Defeatist attitude, and invoking God does not exonerate you from that. Consider this question if you will; What advise would you have given George Washington at Valley Forge? Lay down Arms because God put England over us? Knowing the ending via Revelation does not give permission to not fight for what is right. I agree, if God is not with us, we will not succeed. But don't you think it's a little bit arrogant or at lest presumptuous to be so sure what God's will is? Are we to listen to you, or do we "Run the Race" that is set before us to the best of our ability?

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Whether anyone is a Muslim or not is a false issue. What we really need to determine is whether Islam is indeed a religion or a political movement that uses a reference to a deity as a means to world conquest by violent means. If it's the latter (which appears to be the truth) then the practice of Islam in this country is not subject to the protections of the Constitution and indeed, its prcatice is treasonous.

Mike - you took the words right out of my mouth, although referring to Islam as a political movement is putting it mildly; you're being too nice. What they're camouflaging under the Muslim religion is world takeover; either by submission or annihilation.

Too fun.

Evidence for the Proposition That Obama's a Muslim: He said "..my muslim faith.." in an interview before being corrected by the interviewer. I'm sorry, but I don't forget I'm Catholic and refer to "my Protestant faith" when asked about it. He bows to Kings. He disses Israel. He's been to all 57 states.

Franklin Graham also said that he must take BHO at his word on being a Christian. I guess he wasn't Republican enough to warrant the vitriol of the Left.

But as to believing "his word", you must have a basis on which to believe. Is his better than Kerry's, Clinton's, Gore's...?

It is called FUNCTIONAL LITERACY. nobama said what he was, he continues to show what he is, he continues to act like he is, muslim. Now you take the example of an egg sucking dog.

The president may not have retained his "Muslim" roots, and if liberation theology is a branch of Christianity, then I guess he is entitled to the label "Christian." But his actions speak louder than words, and I prefer to think of the president, his underlings and supporters as "COLLABORATORS."

I think we can all agree, whether he's a Christian from the school of Jeremiah Wright, or a Muslim using the proliferation and procreativity of other Muslims to transform America, he's still a son of a obscene, profane, abusive and off-topic comments will be deleted and has no business being the President of the United States. I am appalled at how many people here in California are still driving around with Obama '08 bumper stickers.

If the swetest sound you ever heard is the muslim call to prayer...That should be enough evidence...But, just in case...

I say we take a look at the past history of the White House menues for the current administration...

No bacon, pork chops or pork barbecue for 19 months...would probably answer the question quite clearly.

Dear Citizen,

Thank you for your response to my poorly expressed thoughts. I certainly agree that while in this finite world and in our finite bodies and minds we are to run the race. God has promised that He will order our steps which following closely requires that we have to keep moving. I would hazard a guess since you intimated that God could be against you that you haven't received Christ as your Lord and Saviour. As we step forward under Christ's leadership we (as believers) will gladly give our lives to the saving of the United States - in our back yards if necessary. The unbelievers who have an agenda other than Christ's glory will not partake in His sharing of that glory. So the point that was missed (again) is God is in control. The point I did not make plain was EACH of us will have to face God with Christ as our Advocate or alone - which is eternally a terrifying position to be in. The following point that is critical to understand is EACH one of us has to make the decision to be either FOR Christ or AGAINST Him. There are no fence sitters in God's economy. I pray you are a brother in Christ; and if not I pray God will make it plain to you what is important to him - YOU!
