Barack Obama - "Conservapedia"
Edited on Sat Jul-12-08 12:50 AM by AllHereTruth
The below is a description of Mr. Obama on the Conservative "wiki" (linky: http://www.conservapedia.com/Barack_Obama )

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (allegedly born in Honolulu,<1> August 4, 1961) is the presumptive 2008 nominee of the Democratic Party for president.<2> Obama has served as a freshman Democratic Senator from Illinois for three and a half years. In 2007, Obama was the most liberal Senator.<3> If elected, Obama would be the first Affirmative Action President.

Obama claimed to have visited 57 states while campaigning for president of the United States, which of course has only 50 states.<4> He could never explain where the false number of 57 came from, but it has been observed that there are 57 Islamic states and Obama was educated at an Islamic grade school while he lived in an Islamic country.<5>

Obama has declared himself to be a Christian, yet never replaced his Muslim name with a Christian one as many do,<6> casting doubt on his politically self-serving claim.<7> Obama downplays his Islamic background by claiming that his Kenyan Muslim father was a "confirmed atheist" before Obama was born, but in fact less than 1% of Kenyans are atheists, agnostics or non-religious.<8> There is apparently no evidence of any Christian activities or local church participation by Obama while he was in Massachusetts from 1988-1991. Finally, Obama abruptly left his church in Chicago in 2008 when it became politically controversial, without first finding another church to join...

Right wingers read this. Right wingers believe this. Right wingers preach this.
This scares the fuck out of me; the amount people can believe in lies and not even care.

Affirmative Action President (according to conservapedia)
An Affirmative Action President is someone selected for that office based partly or entirely on the person's race or gender. As of 2008, affirmative action has not yet been successfully used to fill the position of President of the United States.
SNIP
An Affirmative Action President is strongly supported by some liberals who favor affirmative action. As they support affirmative action for other positions, it is a logical extension for them to favor it for the presidency also.
These supporters of an Affirmative Action President are likely to support a candidate based in part on the candidate's race or gender in order to bring historical diversity to the position and promote broader acceptance of affirmative action.
Under affirmative action, a candidate's race or gender is as important as, and perhaps more important, than traditional criteria of qualifications and experience.

2. Affirmative action?
You could add the IQ of the entire white house GOP staff and might not even be close as Obama's.

4. And Bush was the dumbest legacy President we've ever had

Barack Obama will be elected by the people.

5. Uhh.,.. what's a 'Christian' name?
And I thought it was the other way around.

I can't believe people write this shit with a straight face. Then again, I know some really, really dense conservatives.

7. Ironic when the conservatives talk about affirmative action...
When one of their own made it to Yale and became a US president. He was not there because of being a minority but being the child of a rich and influential politician and founder of the school. Isn't that a form of Affirmative action?
