O'Donnell Aide: Obama Is a Secret Muslim

In a 2009 article, an aide to the tea party's latest darling contended that the president has spent 20 years creating an I'm-a-Christian cover story.

Christine O'Donnell, the 41-year-old tea party darling who won the Republican Senate primary in Delaware, has had on her campaign staff a longtime conservative activist who last year wrote an article suggesting President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim.

According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission by O'Donnell's failed 2008 Senate campaign and by her current campaign, Jon Moseley has worked for O'Donnell in both of these Senate bids. In a recent statement issued in support of her and disseminated by ChristianNewsWire, Moseley described himself as the manager of her unsuccessful 2008 campaign against then-Sen. Joe Biden. Moseley has also served as a campaign treasurer for O'Donnell during that campaign. {Update: Following publication of this article, Moseley said that he has had nothing to do with O'Donnell's current campaign. But her 2010 campaign filings list a payment to Moseley; he maintained this was for money owed him from the 2008 campaign.} But Moseley is not a political operative. For decades, he's worked for conservative policy groups. A 2008 bio noted that he has been employed by the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch, as well as various congressional campaigns. It identified him as the executive director of a group called American Border Control, which says it "works for 100% American control of ports of entry." (In describing its mission on its website, the organization reports it has collaborated with anti-immigration crusader Tom Tancredo "trying to secure American borders.")

In 2009, Moseley maintained an intermittent blog that expressed his conservative views. He defended the Bush-Cheney administration's use of extreme interrogation methods (declaring they were not torture), hailed the tea party movement, maintained that climate change was caused by changes in the sun's magnetic field, and contended that Obama was and might still be a Muslim.

In an article—titled "Is Barack Hussein Obama (Still) A Muslim?"—Moseley asserted that because Obama had recited to a reporter the Muslim call to prayer (which he apparently learned as a child in Indonesia) he must be a Muslim: "According to Islamic scholars, reciting this Muslim declaration of faith makes one a Muslim." Moseley noted that "recent events" had prompted "questions about Obama's {religious} allegiances." This included Obama's supposed bow to Saudi Arabian King Abdullah: "Saudi Arabia is the guardian of the Muslim holy sites of Mecca and Medina, making King Abdullah very important and revered among Muslims." Moseley pointed out that Obama did not bow to Queen Elizabeth, "who is technically the head of the Church of England." Maintaining that Obama attended school in Indonesia as a Muslim, Mosely noted, "Once a Muslim, always a Muslim." He argued that Obama's professed conversion to Christianity was not authentic. To back this up, he cited an interview Obama gave in 2004, during which he said of religious faith, "I believe there are many paths to the same place." But, Moseley wrote, Jesus "stated there is no other way to God without him." That is, Obama's not a true Christian because he's not a fundamentalist Christian. And in this case not-a-real-Christian equals Muslim.

But Moseley had even more evidence: He noted that during the 2008 campaign Obama had mistakenly said he had visited 57 of the 58 states. "While slip-ups on the campaign trail are not new," Moseley observed, "in fact, there are 57 States in the Organization of Islamic Conference. So the number of Islamic OIC States appears to have sprung more readily to Obama's mind than the 50 States of the USA."

Moseley didn't seem to be kidding.

3. Hey remember also Bush was walking along holding

this guys hand. I guess if Obama is a secret Muslim than O' Donnell has to positively be an alien from outer space. No body human would act like she does.
