Oh lord, have you seen The National Enquirer?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Just got back from the grocery store. I wanted to puke. Right there on the cover 'proof Obama is a Muslim'. And inside, the 'proof' is a copy of his enrollment card from elementary school listing his religion as 'Islam'.

Yes I realize it could be a forgery. But then, unlike the majority of Americans, I have critical thinking skills.

There is also a picture of him when he went to Kenya, dressed in 'Muslim' clothes.

I didn't read the whole article. Instead I spent my time in line taking every single one of those National Enquirers, turning them around and putting them behind other magazines on the rack.

[peace13]

1. And that is why they dissected his Christian preacher.

This is a dead issue.

[Captain Hilts]

3. No, it was the "God Damn the United States" clip. nt

[peace13]

37. A quote taken out of context as you will remember.

I am sure that Palin's sooth sayer will have many of those as well. Too bad it has to come down to one wacko against another.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. I thought it was dead until I saw this cover

dated September 29, 2008.

[discopants]

43. Let it go. At this stage of the game people who believe this shit aren't going to vote for O anyway

Let them have their fucked up bigotry if it makes them feel better about themselves.

[1corona4u]

2. Good Gawd...what next?

[BlooInBloo]

4. Pics not showing for me. :(

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Didn't post pics

Just smileys.

[BlooInBloo]

30. Oh - ok then.

[FrenchieCat]

5. That's why when folks post shit about Palin in the Enquirer here...

I wonder if they have shit for brains.

Those tabloid magazines are just that.

And that registration card was in reference to the Catholic school he attended when he first got to Indonesia, and it hasn't been proven authentic. He was seven years old at the time, and attended that Catholic School for two years, before transfering to a public school.

[Trajan]

13. Posting something bad about Palin ...

Is different than posting bad things about Obama ....

Bad press about Palin ? .... GOOD

Bad press about Obama ? ... BAD ...

We of course benefit if Palin is the target, and those are stories which we SHOULD promulgate as widely as possible ....

Stories about Obama, like this one, is going to be out there, true or not, and like it or not .... They need to be refuted as needed, which has always been the case ....

I kinda doubt many here have 'shit for brains' ... an insult which is unnecessary among friends here at DU ...

[BlooInBloo]

20. Maybe, but post shit from the Enquirer is the same as posting shit from the Enquirer.

[Trajan]

25. Bite, scratch, kick, gouge ...

break beer bottles and crack them over their heads ...

Fight fire with fire : They are NOT going to stop hitting YOU on the head .... I see no problem, in the middle of a tough campaign as this is, to besmirch the reputation of the opposition based on innuendos from a questionable tabloid source : It is what THEY do, and they have been quite successful at it ...

Some people buy that shit .... use their gullibility to YOUR advantage ....

Cynical, yes .... effective ? .... More than we want to admit ....

[rug]

33. Good point. And the school listed the children's religion by the (step)father's religion.

[Trajan]

6. This was already known ...

The school in Indonesia had the FATHER's religion ... The school itself was non denominational in nature ....

This has been a part of the smear campaign from day one .... It is well known ...

Haven't heard about this until now ?

[holiday]

10. I like the idea that he has had intro into other religions.. I think

that adds to his intelligence. but he still chose Christianity, and so did Michelle.

I know what you are talking about though, I seen the same article standing in line

[FrenchieCat]

11. Nope...it was the Catholic School that he attended for two years.

He attended the public school afterwards which was non-denominational.

But the card that they are talking about was supposed to have been on file at the Catholic School...although later, the Priest who administered the school at the time gave doubt to this proof....and said that it had "appeared" out of nowhere and couldn't vouch for its authenticity.

[Trajan]

15. Well there ya go ....

See ? ... You had the answer ...

[jbnow]

21. When I saw my school records my stepfather had filled

out the form and I noticed my religion was listed as "Methodist", which was his religion.

I've never been to a Methodist church, I had always gone to a Catholic church and in fact until the year he filled out that form I had gone to a Catholic school.
If the press ever finds that they will have proof I am a Methodist. Man, I might as well not even run for president, they've got me.

[FloridaGrl]

29. Yawn

they need to come up with new material. Seriously. Even if his card had Islam on it says nothing because he was a child. Most children at that age do not express their own thoughts on religion they go by their parents view. Maybe his mom was a christian but not devoted and since his dad is Muslim they put Islam for his religion. I need proof of Obama when he has reached the age to make his own decisions choosing Islam as his religion.
With that said, I am a christian and I do not care if he was Muslim, not all Muslims are bad. You have extremist in every group. We Christians need to stop persecuting people of other religions.

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Yes I have heard it

My concern is seeing it on the cover of the NE.

[tabatha]

7. Was it the NE or the Globe?

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Enquirer

[Blondiegrrl]

8. I saw that cover at the drugstore, but I thought it was the Examiner

rather than the Enquirer.

Regardless, I didn't bother to read it. Tabloids are full of crap.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. The Palin affair and scandal stories are now appearing on The Globe

I saw it when I went to the supermarket this afternoon. I don't buy those gossip rags, but it's interesting that the Palin sex scandal stories are now appearing on other gossip mags besides the National Enquirer. Palin is becoming a national laughing stock.

[FrenchieCat]

16. These tabloids are full of shit. Even the Palin stuff is shit.

There she is in that photoshopped photo.

And sure, Ted's kids are demanding that Teddy's wife get out. Sure. :eyes:

[timeoutofjoint]

46. Spot on.

[KathieG]

19. LOL...I love that they are using the photoshopped Palin bikini pic

:rofl:

[ruggerson]

12. Drudge has also now turned against him

"OBAMAPELOSI DEMAND 'OVERSIGHT' ON BAILOUT"

[AlCzervik]

14. um Drudge was never for him or any other democrat. Is that some new memo going around

that Drudge was ever on our side?

[ruggerson]

22. Drudge favored him in the primaries

many figured it was just a matter of time until he did a backflip.

Drudge is the slimiest human being on the earth.

[AlCzervik]

23. maybe he favored him because he thought it waould be hella fun to attack him

during the GE.

Drudge is disease.

[ruggerson]

26. My theory

is that he was angling for international growth for his website, and knew Obama was wildly popular overseas. I think it mostly comes down to money for Matt. But he's also ardently anti-choice, so I'm not surprised that when push comes to shove his old patterns emerge.

[Captain Hilts]

45. Druge, Matthews, etc. favored him in the primaries and now support McCain. Neither is fair. nt

[writes3000]

17. As if oversight is a bad thing, LOL. nt

[casus belli]

18. Sigh. yeah, well.....

I'm sure they'll do a handwriting analysis and prove it was his handwriting as well. :sarcasm:

;)

[writes3000]

24. It looks like it ISN'T The National Enquirer. Just went to their website.

It's still all about Palin there.

Remember the little tantalizing press releases about what's coming up in their next issue? Those always come out before the issue hits the stand.

We've seen none of that in the last week.

OP, I suspect the issue you saw was not from the National Enquirer. If it's the Globe or another one, the MSM won't report on it. They're the alien tabloids.

The Enquirer is trying to become a valid news source.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I am 99% sure it was the Enquirer

Brand new issue. I turned them all around and I think I would have noticed if it was The Globe or another one.

[votetastic]

35. It was the National Examiner

It does look the Enquirer.. I did a double-take myself, but it is the National Examiner!

[FrenchieCat]

36. So can we let this thread sink now?

I saw it at the 7-eleven.....and just rolled my eyes, and said to the Clerk, wow, my 401K took a big hit...I'll be glad when the damn war is over and our soldiers get to come home!

[Lord Helmet]

38. they registered kids under the father's religion (in this case stepfather)

it was traditional red tape that even Fox News has clarified

[writes3000]

39. The New Enquirer is about Oprah vs. Dr. Phil. And video of Bristol doing drugs. nt

[jberryhill]

40. Enrollment form for a CATHOLIC school, no less

Gawd, these people are stupid.

A six year-old stepfather filled in a form.

I know that when I was six years old, I carefully monitored every piece of paper that someone wrote stuff on, and had spent a lot of time reading various religious works.

[obiwan]

41. I miss the Weekly World News. Now THERE was a tabloid.

As far as Drudge, well, it's the hat. A corrective hat, no less.

[slackmaster]

42. The Weekly World News is alive and well

Alien Sitcoms are Worse than Ours
Posted on 19 September 2008



TOKYO, JAPAN - Astronomers combing the stars for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence have reportedly picked up the first-ever transmission from outer space. And it turns out to be the worst sitcom in the universe!

Scientists confirm that the 23-minute broadcast intercepted by the Nobeyama Radio Observatory in Japan on September 15 appears to be an entertainment program created by an alien civilization — and it stinks.

“The show has every worn-out cliché you’ve seen on TV a million times,” declares linguist Barry Malford of San Diego, who has been working with colleagues in Japan to translate the material. “There are the corny put-downs; the wacky neighbor who’s always bursting through the door unannounced —there’s even a canned laugh track.

“It’s somewhat disappointing. We expected the first alien message to be profound words of wisdom from a super-advanced civilization....
