When wingnuts attack

[tikistitch]

Figures one of the inlaws would send us this one eventually. Look, Cubanos, we get that Castro is a twit, but why the lifelong distrust of anybody to the left of Attila the Hun?

Subject: Re: Fwd: Fw: Barack Obama

About 10 kajillion forwards deleted

*Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the **University** of **Hawaii**. *

We like how this version has ****** applied to words they found especially skeeeery, like **University**. O noes, his parents were edumacated!!!!

*When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to **Kenya**. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from **Indonesia**. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to **Indonesia**. Obama attended a Muslim school in **Jakarta**. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.*

The first rule of Wingnuttia: remember, never, ever use "The Google" to see if somebody may have actually fact-checked any of your nonsense.

*Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."*

Not that anyone who believes this horse shit has any chance of voting for Obama anyway.

*Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to **Kenya** soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in **Jakarta**. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. *

Wahabi? Ooo, that sounds skeery. But it's really pretty darned tasty with sushi.

*Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the **United States**, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the **United** **Church** of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. *

Yup, elect him president, and.... Er, what exactly? He'll suddenly shreik "Allah akbar!" and steer Air Force One into the Sears Tower?

*Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.*

Sure. If we hear anything, can we get a message to you while you're cowering under the bed?

I just find it saddening and horrifying that it's become pretty much acceptable for people to say "How can we elect YOU to a position of power? You're a MUSLIM! How do we know you're not a terrorist, HUH?"

Timothy McVeigh wasn't Muslim, last time I checked...

There are some who believe he was a patsy working with some radical Islamists, though that's not something accepted by the mainstream.

Good gawd, are they serious? Obama's parents were fellows at the East-West Center, which I am very familiar with having gotten both my degrees at the UH. Jeez Louise. He graduated from Punahou, for pete's sakes. :rolleyes:

BTW is he already taking contributions?

Wow, that's even worse than so-snuggly-you-want-to-puke forward-this-to-twenty-people-or-you'll-die forwards I get from insane special relatives.

I'll probably get this from my dad, or from my Coast Guard-veteran "cousin" (read: child of close-friends-of-family), any day now. In fact, it may be sitting in my inbox RIGHT NOW!

I think a lot of the problem with Obama is that OMG HE'S NOT WHITE OMG!!! Sigh.
