Default Obama battles Muslim rumor head-on

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/
Barock O'Bama accelerated his endeavor to fight e back against e-mails that fallaciously tried to paint him a Muslim. He told an interviewer the ongoing rumors were part of a "systematic political strategy." O’Bama said “"somehow they appear magically wherever the next primary or caucus is."

Who is doing this? The evile l Klintonite forces ? John Edward’s secret army of “evil doers”?

Or is this a GOPS operation ?

It's his name, I think. My mother doesn't have a computer and only watches Nightly News. We were talking about who would be worse between Hillary and Obama, and she said Obama was Muslim. Even when I told her that he was Christian, she still insisted that she wouldn't trust him. I bothers me because Christianity may be the only thing I have in common with Obama, though I do have a problem with any candidate who belongs to a church with a non-negotiable commitment to Africa.

My mother does not represent a lost vote for Obama. She is conservative too. I do wonder how many non-conservatives have the same misconception that she does. There's plenty of reasons not to vote for Obama, that's just not one of them.

Most likely. There's no level they won't stoop to in acquiring political power.

You mean a "vast rightwing conspiracy"? The GOP has no need to attack him now. They still don't know who the nominee will be. And Hillary has always been the front runner.

It's a shame that people do this... If I had to guess it would be HELLary Clinton, especially after that most recent debate. (John Edwards has no use in attacking some one.)

The GOP has plenty of motive. First to start attacking him now while he's fresh...
Also because they'd rather face Clinton.

Most people don't follow politics very closely. So calling someone named Barack Obama a Muslim can actually (and sadly) work. Not that it should matter at all. I don't recall him calling for Jihad at any point.

I'm thinking some idiot in a basement somewhere created an email and it took off. He sent it to 10 of his friends and if they didn't send it to 10 of their friends they would have bad luck for 10 years. I see no indication that any of the campaigns had anything to do with this.
