Basically these people are trying to find a euphemism for n***** and just know better than to say it on TV. It's sad to me that in America people are so blinded by that hate that they imply cannot see past it.

The man was schooled in the religion for a couple years. That's not a euphemism for calling him black.

are you the ignorant woman in the video? Barack Obama was not schooled in Islam.

Your lies do not avail you.

1971

Obama enters the Besuki Primary School, a government school. He was
enrolled as Barry Soetoro, Muslim. All Indonesian students are required
to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim,
would have been required to study Islam daily in school.
He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his
prayers properly, to read and recitefrom the Quran and to study the
laws of Islam.

In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying
the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."

I'm not one for these wild theories, but part of me almost thinks that this was staged. It was just within the past day that the criticism for McCain's not cracking down on his own followers for making extremely flagrant remarks (such as "string him up!" or "kill him!") at rallies really started rising. Even the guys on FOX were saying that something needed to be done. So this looks awfully coincidental, as if it were done now to enforce an image of a classy McCain. Then again, knowing how these blind-faith people can be, it could very well be legitimate.

I wouldn't put it past them considering who is running his campaign. On the same day he corrects a woman and has to tell the crowd to calm down. OTOH, maybe nobody has directly said these things to McCain and its something we just see anytime a lot of hateful people get together.

Not only that but what does McCain expect when his VP is painting Obama as a terrorist?

You realize that just studying Islam as a child does not make one a Muslim, right?

I'm curious, what religion were your parents and what religion are you today?

That lady is a true representation of the majority of Americans.

TRUE!!!
And its SHOCKING
I know many many young 30-ish smart working people that got the "Obama is a MUSLIM"
email spam. And they STILL believe it.
Shit, if it came in an email, it must be true...! :roll:

Maybe American's ARE too dumb to vote?
Imagine what politicians say about us in private.
Karl Rove knows...

He cut and posted it from a blog (or Yahoo answers), so don't waste your time even trying to reason with someone like that.
