I’m Glad Someone Finally Said….
October 20, 2008
“I’m also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.
But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?
Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he’s a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.”

Tell Us How You Really Feel
October 19, 2008My favorite aspect of the Obama campaign is the racism.
I know that seems silly but I appreciate all those folks who are just being honest about how they feel about Blacks and Muslims.
All this open racism is refreshing.
Here are some samples:
- Racist Ohioan Mike Lunsford Hangs Obama Effigy from Noose in Tree
- Inland GOP mailing depicts Obama’s face on food stamp
- Obama Monkey At A Palin Rally
- The McCain-Palin Mob
- The Sidewalk to Nowhere, McCain Supporters in Bethlehem, PA
- Misconceptions of Obama fuel Republican campaign
So everyone who thinks the country is so different because a mixed man is running for president and may win, keep thinking.
