Look what showed up in my inbox. From my own (admittedly Repuglican) uncle! He didn't write it - it's just something he's passing around to his family and friends.
[snippet] "Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level." Full text after the jump.
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. Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level.
All I can say is, at least they didn't misspell his name as "Osama" or something. But that even makes it slightly worse, maybe, because whoever originated this might be trying to seem reasonable (so to speak).
Said uncle's parents came from Ireland. I'm sure for quite awhile there, the so-called native-born Americans were saying horrific things about the scummy Irish (and Catholics! the horror) destroying the country. Like that JFK guy, for example. [/snark]
I only mentioned that Obama's not my first choice because I'm still hoping for my favorite, Wes Clark. If Obama gets the nomination, I'll be working to get him elected in the general election.
