It was all but certain to happen, but so vile and so fast? This email was passed to me from a Republican friend who’s on the verge of jumping ship. The good news is that I think this pushed her off the U.S.S. GOP; the bad news is that it would seem there’s a cyber-Klan rearing its ugly head. Read on...
The content below is a verbatim cut-and-paste of an email making the rounds today. Please do not shoot the messenger, I post it simply to bring it to the attention of those to whom it will fall to refute. I have not chosen a candidate to support in 08, but he/she will most certainly be a Dem and may well be Obama.
For information and share with your friends if you desire.
Subject: Barack Obama
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
(Editor's note: let us all remain altert to the people that are spreading this crap--this was forwarded to my friend by a woman that could pass for June Cleaver, not a redneck in a wife-beater swilling a PBR.)
