Wednesday Wingnut Watch
The “Where’s the Birth Certificate” Billboard Campaign gets progressively smaller. Buddy, wanna buy a bumper sticker? So far the national storm has not brewed beyond rural Ball, Louisiana (pop. 3,681) where a local wingnut who owns an outdoor display sign donated space to the effort. Now they are scaling it down. Go here to buy buy lawn signs and bumper stickers for your favorite wingut. Makes a great hostess gift at your next Tea Party!
Well, if we can’t prove Obama wasn’t born in America, surely we can prove that he is actually a Muslim.
Musings from wingnut Frank Gaffney:
With Mr. Obama’s unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls “the Muslim world” (hereafter known as “the Speech”), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself. Consider the following indicators:
• Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to “the Holy Koran.” Non-Muslims — even pandering ones — generally don’t use that Islamic formulation.
• Mr. Obama established his firsthand knowledge of Islam (albeit without mentioning his reported upbringing in the faith) with the statement, “I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed.” Again, “revealed” is a depiction Muslims use to reflect their conviction that the Koran is the word of God, as dictated to Muhammad.
• Then the president made a statement no believing Christian — certainly not one versed, as he professes to be, in the ways of Islam — would ever make. In the context of what he euphemistically called the “situation between Israelis, Palestinians and Arabs,” Mr. Obama said he looked forward to the day “. . . when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.”
Now, the term “peace be upon them” is invoked by Muslims as a way of blessing deceased holy men. According to Islam, that is what all three were - dead prophets. Of course, for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God.
Hey, let’s throw in a Hitler reference for good measure:
The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich
Guys, this is our shot. Conservatism is about to come roaring back. Let’s start a website to really get things rolling. This website has been sitting idle almost 3 months now. I guess the resurgence is on hold for a little longer.
