Obama is constantly being referred to as "black' or "African American". He is black, white and Moslem". And I understand he is more Moslem than black.

There has been more coverage of slams, on Palin then the other three combined.

The funny thing is lot's of it comes from women lib. groups. Go figure?

Wouldn't Todd and Sarah relationship be the Poster child.

Guess, Right to choose only works one way?

What race is "Muslem"?
Never heard of it.

I've heard this question over and over again: "Will race be a factor?" or Most recently, "Is America ready for a black president" - as those who say. I can remember reading a couple of years ago that 1/2 of Milwaukee wasn't ready for Marvin Pratt, because he's black, plus he's was running for mayor. Or like Bill Maher once said that half of Pennslyvania wasn't ready for a black quarterback. But they were.

But all that aside, I think America has been ready. Although "the work" of our differences need to have improvement. And why is everyone keep saying that Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim? All because of his name? That's garbage to me.

Read this short news story from the Newsweek website, and from his Fight The Smears site:

“Barack Obama has never been Muslim and never practiced Islam. But rumors about his religion intended to frighten some voters persist, and they mostly return to one point of fact: his name. “Barack” is the candidate’s Kenyan father’s name; Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” is his grandfather’s name. Obama has described his father as atheist or agnostic. His Kansan mom, whose grandparents were devout Protestants, lived a secular life. Obama’s only personal contact with Islam came as a boy when he moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, with a stepfather who mixed his Islam with Hindu and Animist traditions. In five years there, Obama attended a Roman Catholic school, then a public elementary school, where he sat through a class each week of religious studies. As an adult, Obama turned to Christianity in the late ’80s in Chicago, at Trinity United Churc

Excellent, Stephen, thank you for some truth.
Now if only people would listen.
Race has nothing to do with a person's intelligence or ability to lead.
For the love of Pete, this is 2008!
Can we get past this ignorance once and for all????

Pardon me?
Could you retype that so it makes sense?
My all guilty what?
Didn't McCain and Palin say lipstick on a pig first?
BTW...since liberals can't scream nothing anymore, what would you like them to scream?
Also....pssssstttt.....McCain IS old.
That isn't an insult, it's true.
We are all forced into retirement at 65.
Why are the people we trust to run our government allowed to get senile and have such power???
We can't drive a forklift, but they can run a country???

guilty of age discrimination. You all played the age card.

I said alone, just a turn of phrase, listen to the next line, and it and an old fish, That reflects age and navy. put the two together and you have slander.

I am not an Obama supporter.
I support Ron Paul.
I just don't like McCain/Palin more.
Also, it isn't that I don't like Obama. He's a likeable guy. I just don't want to see higher taxes and more war. I want better healthcare coverage at an affordable price. I want fairness for all Americans.
