Obama: Muslim Smear "A Systematic Political Strategy"

Politico :

This, from David Brody's interview today, is pretty interesting:

Obama: This is obviously a systematic political strategy by somebody because these e-mails don't just keep coming out the way they have without somebody being behind it.

His father is Muslim. Of course there's someone or many someones who think that's important.

Hillary's parents were Republicans.

She, too, had to prove that she's a Democrat.

Obama is making a mistake to give so much credance to these rumors.

Nobody who is truly an informed voter is buying it.

And those who are?

They are probably just taking the easy way out on why they aren't supporting him.

It probably won't do any good to point out that many Christians with Muslim names don't change their names but do keep Christ in their hearts. It's common knowledge that a Christian glorifies Jesus with every breath & every thing they do. Maybe bigots who criticize Barrack Hussein Obama for having a Muslim name but being a Christian have forgotten that or never learned that. Please forgive my typos as an act of charity.

The Clinton's hateful, race baiting campaign disgusts me and every decent person I know. This should have been a cakewalk of an election for the Democrats and what we are seeing is the gift of the presidency to the GOP. Nobody likes Hillary. Who wants to go for a beer with the hectoring Hillary? Vast numbers of voters, silly as it might be, vote exactly on that criteria. The values voters, the evangelicals, and the independents will vote for the GOP candidate should she be nominated. Blacks and young people will be disspirited and simply sit home, as will Democrats who do not want to go through more years of Clinton slease in the White House. She's not electable in the general election. I voted for Bill Clinton twice, but I will not vote for the Clintons ever again.

Sort of a long article by Justin Raimondo but well worth reading. The Neocons are alive and well and working to influence the election.
"Glick marshals her "evidence" that Obama is an anti-Semite by identifying his foreign policy adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as "one of Israel's greatest foes in Washington." No reason is given, but one assumes it's Zbig's endorsement of the thesis advanced by professors John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt that unconditional support for Israel harms both the U.S. and Israel"

It was called swift boating last time ans it was done by the texas money man republicans. This time it's a combo by the clintons. Their good kop bad kop with him spreading lies and misstatements along with misrepresenting anything obama says and she being the demure woman saying "I never said that" tells us the war is now on. Sad to think that it would fall to be the democrats doing it to their own just to get the power back in the family. After all she has voted to give it to bush so she might have it when she thought she would just walk right in the door. I am glad americans know more than she thought we did. How can anyone know who is the ture candidate when bill acts like it's his prize and she is letting people believe he will be in the oval right along with her. Congress needs to pass an amendment to 22 that says he can have no power or say if she wins.

THE SAD PART IS HIS STEPFATHER WHO WAS ONLY PART OH HIS LIFE FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS 6 TO ABOUT 10. I READ AFTER THAT HE WAS RAISED BY HIS CHRISTIAN MATERNAL GRANDPARENT UNTIL ADULTHOOD. THE PEOPLE PUTTING THIS STUFF OUT THERE ARE COUNTING ON THE SAME THING THAT GOT US BUSH. VOTERS WHO DON'T BOTHER ENOUGH TO LEARN THE TRUTH OR WHO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE MSM DSAYS SO IT MUST BE TRUTH. I LEARNED MY LESSON, I CHECK OUT WHAT IS SAY TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH FOR MYSELF.

Obama: "... a systematic political strategy ... these e-mails don't just keep coming out the way they have without somebody being behind it.

Richard Cohen may know the source as he jumped into the Obama attack at the same time.

Welcome to the underground world of Bill and Hillary Clinton! You will find the odor a bit strong at first but once you vomit a few times it will still get worse. What an uplifting campaign they run!
