Context lol
Love to know what context the teabaggers think would make this look better.

Speaking of bias...
Are all the major news outlets still calling those Hutaree shitheads a milita and not a terrorist cell?

Calling him a Muslim is not racist.
Seriously, do you think that lunatics would be screaming about how Obama's a "half-breed muslin" if he was white?

What I find funny is that they call Obama a Muslim Marxist who has too many Czar's in his administration. The irony abounds.

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
Nobody screamed anything like that. It was on a couple of signs. The point would be of course that Obama denies his Muslim background and claims to be a Christian and that he's lying. There's nothing racist about it.

It's also not just attacks and misrepresentations, it's ignoring a huge part of the American public. The first Tea Party in Washington was enormous but you missed that coverage, didn't you?
This just makes me smile. The left wing have had this experience for decades now. I was in London just prior to the current war in Iraq; there were two MILLION people on the streets, unprecedented in the history of Britain, whose voices were absolutely ignored. Yet these newfangled tea partiers think that their little thousand-strong demos should get the world transformed. It's quite funny, but quite sad at the same time. Shows how small their world is.

Islam (what Muslims practice) is a religious belief not an ethnicity.
It is called religious and cultural stereotyping, a mild form of racism.
If your father was a Catholic and your mother is a Methodist does that automatically make you a Catholic?
And besides what is wrong with being a Muslim? Do you think all Muslims are terrorists Faith?

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. - Carl Sagan, The Fine Art of Baloney Detection
"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan
"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

By your definition I am a Christian because my parents were even though I don't believe in God. Is this true? Am I a Christian?

Great. You mean I am a Catholic? But my mother converted to Catholicism, so does that put a twist on it?

Re: some pics
Yeah, people say "wig herd" a lot.
This thread is becoming distressingly surreal.
"Wig Herd" = sarcasm. FYI. Did you read the rest of the post?

Re: some pics the media didn't show you
The point would be of course that Obama denies his Muslim background.....
And of course, Glenn Beck has never yet denied that he raped and killed a little girl back in the 90's.
Or maybe it was a little boy......
and claims to be a Christian and that he's lying.
That's just effing STUPID, Faith. You do realize the Obamas had ham and oysters on the menu last Thanksgiving? Hardly halal.
