WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama's office is responding to charges from former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay that the Illinois Democrat is attempting to conceal his liberal views and that his record in the Senate is comparable to that of a "Marxist Leftist."

DeLay is also urging conservative bloggers to begin digging into Obama's past.

A spokesperson for the senator says voters want to "move beyond" Delay's "name-calling."

"Former Congressman DeLay's rhetoric is exactly the sort that the American people rejected so resoundingly in November," Obama spokeswoman Roberta Gibbs said in a statement. "They want us to move beyond the name-calling and slash-and-burn politics that have served this country so poorly and deal with the real challenges we face."

DeLay made the comments to a group of conservative bloggers at a weekly lunch hosted by Human Events and the Heritage Foundation, according to Robert Bluey of HumanEvents.com, who attended the meeting.

Barak Hussein Obama

Barak Hussein Obama. Do we want an American president born a muslim and possible a deceptive liar and follower of Islam and the quran.


Barak Obama a Muslim apostate headed for the White House?

Move over, Hillary, Barak Obama is here.

Some Dems can trump Material Girl Madonna reinventing themselves. During the last presidential campaign, John Kerry made much of having the same initials as President JFK.

Barak Hussein Obama’s name only rhymes with Saddam Hussein Osama.
As Gateway Pundit aptly points out, "Lincoln was a humble man. He did not compare himself after six months in office to great men from history."

Looking at his day job, the Senator from Illinois is a senior lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Make that the Rockefeller-funded U of C, a school that is Rockefeller down to the bone.

Obama’s Dad, a Muslim from Kenya, left home when he was two. His Mom remarried and went with her new husband to Indonesia where Obama lived during his salad years. It is well known that Obama, the teenager lived with his grandparents in Hawaii, where he attended the same school attended by Hawaii royalty. Yet little is known about who Obama’s step father was. But some say that he was an Indonesian national and a Muslim.

Still, Obama must have attended school in Indonesia. Is it possible that as a young Muslim boy he went to a Saudi madrassa?

Yes, that’s a possibility.

The chapters in the Life and Times of Barak Obama always race ahead. It was during one of those chapters when we found him taking up community organizing in the Altgeld Gardens housing project on the south side of Chicago, when he converted to Christianity, formerly being secular. (www.brainsip.com).

As a fledgling Christian, Obama didn’t join just any church. He joined the United Church of Christ.

The United Church of Christ is very anti-Israel and supports divestment. It also sponsors speeches at its many functions by the Arab "Christian" pro-terror religious organization, Sabeel. Sabeel holds some of its biggest meetings in Chicago., (www.scoop.,co, nz/stories/HL05 10/500139.htm).

The Democrats attract the majority of Jewish voters and funding, and this guy is being grooned as their golden boy?

Essentially Obama is a Christian convert--but also then a Muslim apostate.

The "What If" category of "the new face of change and reform for the democratic party" doesn’t get written up by the mainstream media.
What if Obama is engaged in pious fraud? This is a Muslim practice of pretending not to be Muslim to further the cause of Islam or to "defend the faith". He becomes President and then says, "Gee…I think I want to be Muslim again" after he finds the "football" in his hands that carries the launch codes for the USA nuke forces.

Is the "New Face" theory espoused in USA Today, New Face as in the "Portrait of Dorian Grey"?

What if Obama’s into Pious Fraud Islam–Hudaibiyah treaty"kiss the hand of your enemy until you can cut it off"? (www.freerepubl ic.com/focus/ne ws/708295/posts. Not Obama? Remember the pictures of the little kids bobbing their heads up and down at the madrassas? They are all of the age Obama would have been in back in Indonesia.

What if the converted-to-Christianity Barak Obama decides to exercise his right to revert back?
Then what?

Currently, Obama is an apostate as far as Islam is concerned. This is a fact and not a conspiracy theory. They say all babies are born Muslim but then parents of infidel religions brainwash the baby Muslims into other lesser faiths. That is a fact.
What must be done with an apostate of the Muslim faith? Give him a chance to convert back to Islam.
Obama is soft on the handover of the ports to Dubai.

Meanwhile hype notwithstanding, "the new face of change and reform for the democratic party" is no Abe Lincoln, but could be the most upwardly mobile Muslim of the millennium.

(Yes, the man is an idiot, but so are many of the sheeple, so watch for this to be repeated in other venues.)

14. I know, I broke the rule

[me b zola]

16. Damn, that's ugly

There is a good chance that this will backfire on them. The majority of the American public have awakened to realize that they have been played for suckers as the rw have over-played their fear tactics and screaming about imaginary boogy men under every stone.

CNN's Jeff Greenfield did a piece the other day where he linked Obama to Iran's leader because neither one wears a tie. I kid you not. It was one of the most bizzar--and putrid--things that I have ever seen on CNN. Sam Seder discussed this quite a bit on his show yesterday, I was glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was outraged by it.

17. Jeff

TalkingPointsMemo had Jeff's reply to the outrage from his Obama hit piece, boiled down to: really, really, it was all in jest, there is no reason for the outrage from the angry left.

Jeez.

[David__77]

18. Pretty weak attack.

"Marxist leftist?" Who cares... After this presidency, people may be ready to vote for a real Marxist leftist.

[Swamp Rat]

19. Tom DeLay eats cockroaches

... and soon prison cockroaches. :D

[blm]

20. So Delay wants to go into Obama's past even as Obama has told us he DOESN'T want

to look back into the lead up to Iraq war?

Geez - you would think Delay would give Barack the break Barack would give him and the WH? That's hardly civil - I hope Obama is taking notes how the GOPs treat ALL Dems - so he may as well do unto them.
