Untraceable Emails Spread False Obama Rumor

Politico:

When Fox News aired a report in January claiming that Sen. Barack Obama had been educated at a radical Muslim madrassa, his campaign beat the story back -- hard -- with the candidate himself going on television to call it "ludicrous" and a "smear."

And his aggressive defense worked, or so it seemed at the time: The notion that Obama has secret Muslim roots faded from the mainstream media, and even from most conservative blogs and magazines.

While I do not support Obama, spreading lies is simply unacceptable. There's no need! Obama's current kowtowing to the megachurch and the Christian right is already enough to make me sick.

"...spread­ing lies is simply unacceptable"

Thats a lauch, Our entire political systems is spreading lies. Welcome to the campaign Obama

Quick someone notify the NSA that untraceable emails are afoot in the nation. Perhaps they can get on it right away.

The swift boating is incredibly foul no matter who the candidate. Just another odious example of caging except this is upfront and in your face and spreading another case of your vote doesn't count across the nation.

untraceable e-mails?

They can't even trace American Exchange options trading. I still would like to know who the guys were that purchases 30 day PUTS on American Airlines on September 1, 2001.
Or maybe they can to Saudi Arabia.
You can bet their broker found them to pay the
profit and collect the commission, but homeland security is clueless.

My thoughts EXACTLY . They made a killing on their killing . Isn't it strange there is no big hue and cry about this . Sort of like the Anthrax sent through the mail

Obama is not my choice for president, but no one deserves to be smeared like that.

What a dose.
who won the debate:
Rudy Guiliani

Fred Thompson

John McCain

Mitt Romney

Mike Huckabee

Why doesn't the poll show the guy who won the debate. Ron Paul? Maybe because he does not tow
the corporate line.

Ron Paul won when he pointed out no country has ever attacked the USA without warning in time
for Congress to act. The first pre-emptive strike policy is based on myth.

Pearl Harbor? The Japs had sent ambassadors to Washington in November warning us. Roosevelt just didn't listen. Also the only rational strategy would be defense, not bombing Tokyo.

War of 1812, the British declares war first.

Guiliani yelled 9/11, he does that in every debate, but Paul pointed out that was not a country. Who would Guiliani bomb, Rudy Kazudi said Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rudy agrees with Obama, bomb Pakistan.

BH Obama isn't a Muslim but why should Senator Obama's religion matter? I've had dealings with Hindus, Buddhists, Shiks, Muslims, Jews & Christians. I'm alive & I made money on the deals. Why not consider honesty & integrity above creed? Senator Obama has two daughters also. When do we get a sexist doing a blog on that to defame Sen Obama?

How do you know it is false, and if it is true so what. Hillary has Jewish roots. Is the anti-Muslim prejudice so strong the accusation will ruin your life, like being accused of Jewish roots during the third Reich ?or being accused of being a communist in 1950s America?

Sounds kind of Rovian. Someone keep an eye on Rove and see what dirty tricks he's up to.

[Progress]

You beat me to the punch. Herr Karl is messin' wit da "Christians" in da Sout again.

It's time for another viewing of "Talladega Nights."

[freespeach]

Rovian? Possibly. Other possibilities.

Hillaryish? Hillaronian? Hillaresque?

One thing for sure. It is not Kucinichish.

Vote for Dennis till the DLC bounces him out of the race then go Green.

Peace.

No... Don't go green... Not this time.... Don't divide....

Unity gives us POWER
