Muslim Faith? A little awkward for the fence sitters, Freudian or truth?

Ok, so he forgot to say the word "prior" in front of "Muslim faith"...


He must be a liberal-leftist-islamo-commie-fascist-lying-pig.

Meh, though it was a slip, I still wonder about where
his faith really lies.  Doesn't matter though, we're
all 'mericans here.

If Obama is a Muslim, he must be the most non-observing Muslim of all time...  People are getting WAAYY too excited about this.

Besides - irrelevant.

Actually, it would probably be better if he were a current Muslim.  Leaving Islam is a very serious crime - punishable by death under Sharia.  Right now we are looking at a future president that has arguably comitted a cardinal sin under the law of several countries.  If Obama were a current practicing Muslim, we would instead have a major diplomatic opportunity with the Middle East.

So we had to go through a month of idiotic "controversy" because of what his Christian preacher said.

Now, he slips up and says Muslim, and the same people claim that he is OMGISLMOSPY.

The general consensus?

You have a lower intelligence if something like this actually sways your vote, and you shouldn't be voting in the first place.

Not liking Obama is fine, same as not liking McCain is, but for heavens sake (PUN!) have a good reason for it.

It is just funny, how the press reacts to these "slips". If Bush or McCain make a "slip" they are considered illeterate and or hiding a fact. Obama makes one and given a pass. Now the MSNBC debacal with Obermann and Matthews dropped from the anchor chairs based again on this quote: "The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left.

“The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s supposed to be straight news programming,” said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC and a co-founder of the reputation management firm DolceGoldin."

Seems MSNBC is in the Berlin April 45 stage of its exsistance.

You make it sound like they are so innocent.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama? Obama's nose job? Terrorist fist pump? Booty slap? What's all that crap? Neither candidate is getting special treatment. Each party is tearing into the opposing candidate.

This whole election is one long, drawn out soap opera.(maybe they all are, but this is the first presidential election since I started following politics, so I wouldn't really know)

Beyond what Destruction said (with which I agree) - there is a matter of substance and repetition.

A slip of bumbling a word or two (saying Sunni when you meant Shi'a) happens to all of us on occasion, and it is just that - a bumble.  But when you keep doing those things, at some point we start wondering if maybe you aren't clear on the distinction between the two.

This is relatively easy to believe, since many people are not clear on that distinction.  Once or twice, everybody gets a pass - but at some point you run out of passes.

Compare to a single "muslim faith" slip.  First, it's one slip, not a pattern.  But more importantly, the underlying substance is that only a complete idiot or conspiracy theorist would believe that Obama is a Muslim.  He observes no Muslim rules or behaviors, and specifically violates many of the central tenets of the faith.  He would be the least muslim Muslim in all of Islam.  If he is a Muslim, then that word has no meaning.

The only way Obama is a "Muslim" is if he is some Clancy-esque sleeper terrorist mole guy - and that is where the "conspiracy theorist" part comes in.

So if you honestly think that Obama is a Muslim, then you either are a fool or you need to strap on your tin-foil hat.

My question to the informed here, If Obama is being so carefull as to not imply in any fashion that he is a muslim, and in a practiced manner continues to emphisize that fact, it seems a tad bit fascinating that this type of slip occured in a well spoken and practiced speaker.

A comman interrogation technique is to continue to question on an action and or belief and eventually the truth will "slip" out in one of the questionings, as the one getting questions become complacent with his position and "forgets" the no matter how well practiced "lie".

Where is the other cop here on the forum, he will verrify the technique.
