I've been hearing Obama supporters elsewhere call McCain's pension a welfare ripoff. Is that a smear? How about the alleged affair with a lobbyist? Or the claim McCain has PTSD? Message 24638309 Message 24641746 Message 24638315

It's not a smear to ask if Obama attended a Muslim school. Both his father and stepfather were Muslims, and Obama did not attend a Christian church until he joined Jeremiah Wright's racist hatemongering Trinity. It's a legitimate question from voters--especially when the candidate has been surrounded by so many Anti-Americans.

Talking points from campaigns are just that; either statements candidates want to push or statements they use to deny and refute. The question of whether or not Obama is Muslim is debatable. Many people have spent hours considering his heritage and the implications of his having been born to a Muslim father, Barrack Hussein Obama, Sr. who has been described as a 'non-practicing' Muslim. Obama, the candidate, has stated that he is Christian; that I believe; however, there is another body of thought that declares that he was born Muslim and will always be Muslim with out regard to whether or not he is currently practicing the Muslim beliefs or is non-practicing. Americans will be concerned about Obama's heritage and they should be concerned. Each voter will decide for himself or herself. This goes beyond the romantic story of Dorothy from Kansas that Obama romanticizes in his books. I suggest you go to Lindy Bill's site, Politics For Pros and read the discussion that has flowed in regard to this question. mj
