Obama is a Muslim Fundamentalist and Terrorist meme alive and well in North Central Ohio?
In a letter to a local paper, the Mansfield News Journal, Bud Chamberlain opines on why if one "really wants a good President" one should vote for McCain.
In his monument of ignorance and xenophobia, Mr. Chamerlain feels that "Obama has agenda to rule the world [with his Arab friends]."
I do not trust Barack Obama to lead our country because I think he has motives to have the strings from the Middle East to direct his agenda to rule the world with a one-world government, and to wipe out the Jews and control the world economy with oil.
I'm assuming Mr. Chamberlain used euphemisms that Obama is closet Muslim and an al-Qaeda sympathizer while coming to the conclusion that Obama will have his "strings" pulled by the Middle East and that Obama will "wipe out the Jews." Why else would he think Obama is some sort of double secret Muslim operative? Mr. Chamberlains feelings that Obama wanted "one-world government" and had his "strings pulled" by the "Middle East" and wants to "wipe out the Jews" is thinly veiled euhemism that Obama is part of the al-Qaeda movement, is it not?
He, Barack Hussein Obama, is against offshore drilling for oil.
Obama must be a bona-fide Muslim terrorist, Obama has a middle name of Hussein.
Edit: I almost missed the following letter to the paper by Bob Shoenman entitled: Backgrounds are important this election Apparently Mr. Shoenman is unaware that Obama is not Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn
and that being a Muslim doesn't equate to being evil.
The Democrat [sic] Party, to its shame, has selected a candidate that is not only a bad American but is in reality an anti-American. Hussein Obama preferred to be sworn in on the Koran instead of the Holy Bible. Obama's mother was an atheist. He claims to be a born-again Christian and states that he is sure she is in Heaven. So much for being a born-again Christian. He'll say anything for a vote. He was raised in an atmosphere of atheism to activist Marxism to socialist anti-democracy...Obama's cry is "we can't afford four more years." The truth is "we can't afford one minute of a radical Muslim in our White House.
Apparently:
Being a non-Christian = anti-American
Socialism and Democracy are mutually exclusive.
The writer implied Obama is a Muslim terrorist sympathizer or the writer mistakingly wrote that Obama was a "radical Muslim" and just meant Obama was a "radical."

Should McCain denounce Oliver North for funding death squads?

see what happens when you claim election fraud?
Is this what McCain wants? Is this why he is making up a BS story about election fraud?
I don't know if Odinga's claim was legit or not, but I know that McCain is full of it.

Ugh
One more black eye for Ohio... I think if you took a vote, we'd be considered to be amongst the most backward states in the Union now... here we are, a state that has given birth to no less than 8 Presidents and more than its share of the most important and influentual people of the 19th and 20th centuries, the home of some of the great industrial cities of America's proud history, and now what are we? A rusting backwoods cesspool of bigotry known for its confederate flags and suspect elections.

I have a hard time believing
that the second letter is genuine. It gets so many basic facts wrong, but more importantly it piles them on as if testing our gullibility.

I cannot tell if it is satire or not.
Upon further review, people might be abusing the trust of the News Journal and using various levels of satire. But its hard to tell considering some people buy into that trite.
"Do you remember Sept. 11, 2001?
Considering the aftermath of this disaster, again I ask: How can we consider electing a president with a Muslim name?"
One commenter did claim Obama was an "atheiss [sic]"

It isn't

George was one of those "untrustworthy" non-theist.
The logic that some publically self professed Christians are trying to use to proclaim Obama is a secret Muslim crosses the threshold of Fail into Epic Fail territory.
The logic that since the Koran proclaims children of a Muslim are Muslim and therefor Obama is a Muslim makes no sense coming from a non-Muslim.
They are citing the Koran as proof that Obama is a secret Muslim and taking the word of the Koran as fact. The Koran also says that "there is no God, but Allah and Mohammed is his Profit." If those that want to state the Koran is fact, they would also need to be a Muslim and not a Christian.

Well, consider this
The secretary at my office in Mansfield told me the last time I was there that she thought that Obama would be assassinated if elected and that "that would be a good thing". She had repeatedly expressed the view that she believes that Obama is in league with the terrorists. Maybe that's why both of those letters to the editor seem perfectly legit to me.
What I really don't understand why this garbage was printed in the paper, genuine or not. I understand that we're not talking about the New York Times, but....

Sanders on Maher
Everyone's favorite socialist, Bernie Sanders made the case that if Obama wins, we're going to have a crisis on our hands from the nuts who believe this junk about Obama. Bush won in 2000 and 2004, but no one thought he was an alien lizard who was trying to take over the world
.
This election is unique in that a sizeable portion of the populace truly believes that Barack Obama is an actual Muslim terrorist who is very literally going to help bin Laden, et al. enslave Christians and create a Muslim caliphate. It'd be as if I thought McCain had the intention of nuking every sizeable city in the Middle East and Russia.
If these people are true to their beliefs, I think this would warrant, on their part, active violent opposition to an Obama presidency, including attempted assassinations.
Things could get really ugly really fast.

heh, on David Icke:
I was going to say their your description of his theory sounds like the old science fiction series V, but it turns out (according to his wikipedia entry) that Icke's already made the parallel himself. Wow!

They're remaking V
No idea if it'll be any good. The original was a good time. And the series was notable for killing off major characters basically every show and only lasting one season (there might be a causal relationship in there somewhere).
I came. I saw. I posted.
Veni, Vidi, Bitchy.

Obama the Communist
I especially like the "Obama is a Communist-with-a-capital-C" meme. Objectively, Obama is to the right of Nixon on economic policy. The top marginal rate at the time was 77%
. Nixon cherrily signed and implemented price controls on oil.
As Andrew Sullivan said, if support of progressive taxation makes one a communist, then Adam Smith and Ronald Reagan were communists.
