Obama's half-brother "smears" him

His Kenyan half-brother says that Obama has a Muslim background.

Better tell "fightthesmears.com".

Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.

In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya.

Speaking of the web site that's supposed to keep Obama unsmeared, it appears that the same idiots who run his regular website are working on fightthesmears.

I would suggest that they hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Here's an example of how badly they got hacked, the first day they were up.

actually his site wasn't hacked it was parodied.

That was at fightthesmears.org (parody)

The real domain that they registered is fightthesmears.com which redirects.

Yes, they should have registered the .org to be safe. Even Whitehouse.org was parodied by whitehouse.com and they even got sensitive information sent to them by the Bush administration.

Besides, so what? Some extremely secure military computers get hacked.

It's hard to say who does more damage on Obama's sites - the antisemite pro-Obama ranters, the muslim radical pro-Obama ranters, the communist pro-Obama ranters, or the occasional Republican hacker.

That, and no one on the Obama team has the slightest idea on how to secure or run a website.

What does it say about a political party that knows it can't win a presidential election if it were decided solely on the issues and the strength of the people running for office?

When it comes to all out, hard core, take no prisoners campaigning there is no organization better than the modern Republican party. I give them credit for knowing how to effectively appeal to Americans' most base fears and prejudices. Truly, they are masterful at the smear campaign.

Their only failing is when they actually win elections and have to lead.

Officially, he denies it. Officially, he was never a Muslim, never attended a Muslim school, never was raised Muslim, etc.

IIRC, he did attend a madrassa for a short time when he was very young.

I actually believe he's an atheist, who attends his particular church for political benefit.

I imagine many American politicians attend their church for fear of losing votes. IMS there is only one 'out' atheist in Congress.

The Republicans do the most damage to themselves by making idiotic statements leaving Obama and the Democrats looking better all of the time. While The majority of Americans see through the bullshit, the deluded few roll around in their verbal diarrhea kicking and screaming.


Looks like the Obama site wasn't hacked so they have a better record than the US military so far.

His regular site has been hacked. Directories are still open to modifications.

Also, he lets every kind of pro-Obama person post, even if they are rabid antisemites or communist revolutionaries. They can't stop it from happening, and have to constantly go back and delete things. It would be easier to secure it, rather than let idiocy get posted.

No it hasn't. repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

Again, it's a credit to Obama that he allows anyone to post on his site.

He's not a Republican after all. Free speech zones are for pussy politicians who can't take real life.

Indeed it does. But you see, that wouldn't have the widest most effective spread. See, this will get closed by Ardie as soon as she sees it and that will end the discussion, which works wonders for the smear, because these things tend not to stand up to investigation and attention, but they do have sticking power as accusations. He only has to hammer away at it until it's locked and then refer to it as 'established' later on when he goes for his next smear. If it were in the proper thread people wouldn't see the headline every time they look at the front page, the claims would be and could be revisited and dismissed, only the really involved and not easily fooled would see it instead of the casual observer where it might germinate in the back of their minds. So while the rule is quite clear, and the thread stickied so that there can be no confusion, he makes it its own thread anyway knowing full well what he is doing.

He has never denied attending a Muslim school. He also, at one point, attended a Catholic school. Does that make him a secret Catholic?

IIRC, he did attend a madrassa for a short time when he was very young.

Not a madrassa. It was an Indonesian public school. It did teach Islam, but not any extremist form of it.

I actually believe he's an atheist, who attends his particular church for political benefit.

I doubt it, considering that he detailed his conversion experience in a book well before he ever went into politics.

Some of these posts have been left up quite a long time. The one from Jemaah Islamiya was from March 31st and was removed this past week sometime.

I don't believe McCain sat in a Marxist church that applauded anti-Semetic rants for 20 years. I don't believe people who have bombed ROTC buildings have raised money for McCain. But hey, I have the nasty trait called "high morals".

McCain got endorsements, words, from these people. None has actually started a Crusade nor killed Jews. By the way, that comment about Hitler was in regards to being a part of Biblical prophecy. It was not an endorsement of Hitler's actions. If you can't see the difference, or just take what Media Matters feeds you as fact, you are a hopeless idiot. On the other hand, Hamas has killed quite a few Jews and endorsed Obama. Which one is worse I wonder.

Obama is knee-deep involved with terrorists, convicted criminals, and professional haters. Not that Obama could ever see that side of them.

UpwardThrust could probably give them some pointers on how to run a website secure from being comically redone.

Possibly, actually very probably with a bit of time.

But if I understand the first "hack" it was simply someone posting information on his website using built in functionality. Sure choosing that functionality opened them up to being able to comment on things but that was not a "hack" they used the functionality as intended with a message that was not intended

Saying that it was insecure because of that is like saying that this forum is insecure because moderators have to go back and delete posts. No it is functioning as intended, just some people choose to use it.


As for this second one I would really have to look at what was done (have not had time at work to track down all the details)

False, false, false, false.

Not that it WOULD matter if he HAD a Muslim background, the fact is he doesn't.

By your definition of associating, McCain associates with known Nazis.

Not only the church he attended isn't racist, Obama renounced Wright.

You see, the reason why I can safely say I won this argument is because I have points and you don't. All you can do is trying to convince yourself that I somehow know less than you do (as if that's possible), while trying to smear me in order to keep your preconceived notions safe. I made points.

AP reports this:

"At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisi, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering _ Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim."

Sure sounds like a muslim background to any one who is not a biased hack.

Obama associates with known terrorists.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8630.html

Like many of the most extreme figures from the 1960s Ayers and Dohrn are ambiguous figures in American life.

They disappeared in 1970, after a bomb — designed to kill army officers in New Jersey — accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and turned themselves into authorities in 1980. They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.

Both have written and spoken at length about their pasts, and today he is an advocate for progressive education and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago; she’s an associate professor of law at Northwestern University.

But — unlike some other fringe figures of the era — they’re also flatly unrepentant about the bombings they committed in the name of ending the war, defending them on the grounds that they killed no one, except, accidentally, their own members.

Dohrn, however, was jailed for less than a year for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating other Weather Underground members’ robbery of a Brinks truck, in which a guard and two New York State Troopers were killed.

“I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001. "

Did Obama choose his stated religion when he attended the school? No? Then I guess he never self-identified as Muslim did he? What, besides a checkmark on a school enrollment sheet gives Obama a Muslim background? His stepfather was one? On no the horror!


Was Obama involved in terrorism? Did he support others in their terrorist acts? No? What was his relationship with Ayers exactly? Oh something boring? I see.


How was Obamas church racist? Because there was once a preacher there who said a couple racist things? Have you ever watched the history channel when they talked about Nazis and played Hitlers speeches? Did those speeches make you racist by association? Did you vow to never watch the history channel again? Has Obama come out for or against racism?

Riiight. Bogeyman are just figments of the imagination that can't do any actual damage. Bush is a real disaster who'll leave behind a gaping scar in geopolitics for years to come, if not more.

Ummm... Bush has had one of the most diverse administrations in history. It is the Democrat party that enforced and promoted racism for most of its existence.

Please, at least have some of your stupidity grounded in reality.

The great thing is that most Obama cultists, like the idiot I quoted above, speak in language dripping with religious reverence. They really do believe Obama will, as his bitter, anti-American wife says, "heal our souls". He is their Redeemer. That alone should make you shudder when you consider an Obama Presidency.

Meanwhile that same administration pushed for the interests of ONLY WASPs at the expense of anything else.

Also, you keep on making claims you can't back up. "Anti-American wife", calling me an idiot for disagreeing with you, and so on. Will you play nice or shall we go to moderation over this?

It's not about him being Obama, it's about him not being a Republican.

The fact that blacks are having an easier time now than they did 10 or 20 years ago might mask the problems some are facing today for you, but be it willful ignorance or unwillful, I think you will be beyond help until you yourself decide to open your eyes and take an honest look.

I'm almost willing to bet that you think whites are being oppressed en masse by the minorities of today and think that Obama is going to enslave the white race and start a pro-terrorism cabinet as he imposes sharia law on the US.

AP reports this:

"At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisi, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.
The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering _ Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim."

Sure sounds like a muslim background to any one who is not a biased hack.

According to the Kimchiteers on NSG- including recent inductees Mumakata dos and The Smiling Frogs, being a Muslim means you're automatically an Al'Qaeda Sleeper Operative waiting for Osama Bin Ladin to broadcast a subliminal signal that makes you commit a suicide bombing in the middle of a city or do some other terroristy act.

It becomes a smear when people use it as a bludgeon. The "Muslim" thing isn't a smear, the e-mails it's used in are.

You're correct in that a good thing to do would be saying "I'm not Muslim, not that there's anything wrong with that.", but that might open up a can of worms in the shape of people not finding his denial strong enough. I'd rather Obama set the record straight on 11/5, for now. And heck, the Muslims themselves seem to have other things to worry about.

If you read down the same link you posted you will find:

video of McCain at a Houston town hall meeting shows him stating, “Yesterday, Pastor John Hagee endorsed my candidacy for president in San Antonio, Texas. However, in no way did I intend for his endorsement to suggest that I in turn agree with all of Pastor Hagee’s views, which I obviously do not,"

Well there is one difference though. The pastors endorsing McCain are not his life long pastor. Wright is Obama's which bears more weight. Though no parishoner is responsible for a pastor's beliefs. Some do question supporting a pastor that is so controversial.

While McCain hasn't spent two decades supporting either Parsley or Hagee, the Obamas have supported Wright, long before Barrack was even politically known.

I am not saying Obama agrees with Wright, he has said that he doesn't. I am just saying the relationships are not exactly the same.

In the world as a whole Islam is not a smear. However in the United States, almost everyone associates Muslims with radical terrorists like Al'Qaeda and Osama Bin Ladin, Hezballah and Hamas. Obama's detractors will use Islam as a smear, insinuating that he is either a co-conspirator with the likes of Bin-Ladin or at the very least sympathetic or lenient on them.

Informing the ignorant that Obama ia lying and tyring to cover up his past is not smear, it is pointing out the flaws of a very bad candidate.

Except you have yet to prove any allegations you made. So, no, you have no point.

Also, I'll be happy to remind you that you're powerless to keep Obama out of the White House.

You can't do a thing. It'll happen regardless of your will.

Powerless.

How does that make you feel?

Heikoku, would you stop being so arrogant please? If anyone here is powerless to actually affect the election, it's you. Mum here might be rather foolish, but at least he has the right to vote in our election. You don't. Therefore he does have power. It's not much, but he has it.

No. :D

Also, considering the guy's rhetoric, odds are he lives in a deep-red state. Ergo, zero influence.

Aside from that you're right.
