A friend of a friend went on about Obama being connected to Muslims

[Maraya1969]

and taking over the world and blah blah blah. I called him a racist but I forgot one this that I should have said.

If Barack Obama were white you would not have these thought. It is the fact that he is black that leads you to your racist crazy thoughts.

Anyway just wanted to share that. Next time I see that guy I am going to tell him this second part of my explanation.

So if anyone goes on and on about Barack being a shill for Muslims or any other ridiculous ides just tell them that if Barack was white they would not even consider such thought. Stop them in their racist tracks.

1. So anyone who is "connected" to muslims is,,,,,, what?

Obama is a Christian, if that makes any difference.

But I am very curious why your acquaintance thinks being connected to Muslims is,,, what? Are all Muslims "evil" in his tiny little mind? Does he actually believe the horse shit he hears about Obama being a Muslim?

Do yourself a favor. Let this person go away.

4. Exactly ... let them go ...

Anyone with a mind so twisted and small needs to be put out of your life ... I finally did it last week ... I received this long ugly ranting mass email from an old friend with many of the same ignorant smears ... I replied simply by telling the person that their blatant ignorance was pathetic and a sad embarrassment ... please NEVER contact me again for any reason ... I received a couple more emails which I simply deleted without opening ...

There's no place to go with this kind of ignorance ... it's a dead end and I don't want any of it in my life for any reason ...

9. He's not really my friend. He is a friend of my house mate. And he views

have to be because Obama is black because he wouldn't have them if he were white. There are people who think Obama is a shill for the Muslim community. It's not my idea but this is the second time I've heard it. They don't really believe he is a Christian.

I know they are crazy.

14. I don't care to know he's a CHRISTIAN. What? Somehow Christians are better to lead? Past /present

events would prove otherwise.

[Maraya1969]

21. I just realized what I was saying. It shouldn't matter if Obama is Muslim, Christian, Atheist

or nothing. But there is a group of people who are using his dark skin and name to equate him with yet another racist belief....Muslim. I don't think it should be given a rat's ass and I can't stand that people are this way but I want to have a comeback in case I meet another.

2. I did a few weeks back at my Dr's office, I left him and his secretary

stuttering...they were stunned when I pulled the racist card on them. It was the only thing left after I debunked the e-mail crap they get....I told then I would rather think for myself and check the facts rather than believe ever e-mail dribble you get. Well then the only other thing is its because he is black or maybe half white, because you got nothing else. I then left the office.

3. Good for you.

5. Show them this and see if he's still concerned:

[democracy1st]

8. look at that crap

speechless

[samuraiguppy]

6. ridiculous racist drivel

tell people you won't listen to it

[McCamy Taylor]

7. Remind them about Wright. He was only the most covered story of the primary

and he was 100% Christian. Obama should be the most vetted Christian in America by now.

[OneGrassRoot]

13. That is one of the prime examples of their hypocrisy...

and sheer stupidity.

They simultaneously were sending out emails about him being a "muslim terrorist" while also attacking Wright and "Obama's church."

Pick one, people.

But, bottom line, it comes down to racism.

Oh shit...here is a new Obama ad in NC! "Change" Barack is speaking directly..not a speech. Him speaking to the viewer about needing "real" change. Just gave me goosebumps!!!


Woot!!!!

[chitty]

10. I've told several of my friends with that BS line.....

"Cut through the crap and just tell me you don't want to vote for the nigger.

At least you would be telling me the truth instead of insulting my intelligence."

Works everytime. It punches them in the nose and exposes their racism.

[Historic NY]

16. Well we have a winner,,,,I didn't use the exact term but it hits them hard...

sure smacks them with their preconceived notion of black people/people of color. My brother was that way and changed, perhaps it was years of working in prisons. Sometimes it takes the shock of just slamming them in the face with their racist views to wake them up.

11. tell your dumbass friend to educate his or her self

[Waiting For Everyman]

12. Since when do we decide what another person's religion is, against what they say?

That's the part I don't get. Who is anybody else to say what he believes, when he states he's a Christian? Geez, what a high horse they live on!

If someone else, as you said, said they were Baptist, would we deny that and say they believed something else? How utterly ridiculous!

Bottom line, people who say such things are just spouting back the talking points that someone else said - it's in no way their own thought.

That's why each of us has our very own brain... to do our own thinking with. That is so weak.

15. His closed mind will probably not get penetrated by anything with logic.

The ignorance is truly scary.

17. You have friends like that?

I'd dump 'em.

[Blarch]

18. Why would you be friends with such a person ?

Why embrace the enemy ?

[Tribetime]

19. Republicans have destroyed this country more than anyone

How does this help argument help people in the so-called greatest country get health care.

Every election they run is vote for us, since the other ones are worse, can't be trusted.

We've had 8 yrs of stupid, can we live through even 1 more?

20. Bush has close ties to the Saudis

including the Bin Laden family. Bush's loyalties are hiding in plain site and yet Repubs can't see it.

22. Our pediatrician is a Muslim

I guess I'd be on their sh*t list too.
