The One Who Didn’t Get The Vetting Right Was Soros ~ Obama’s Muslim Past Dogs Campaign

He trys to correct himself via Stephanopolous’s suggestion, but he didn’t say “muslim connections”, he said, “my muslim faith”. Very much “possessive”.

This is a longer version that I posted yesterday, a better one that starts off with his complaining about McCain and right off the bat Stephanopolous’s corrects Obama that the McCain campaign has never said anything about it. LOL Obama caught in another lie. If Stephanopolous’s had not corrected Obama it would have stood as fact what he said about the McCain/Palin campaign. — Wild Thing

Obama’s Muslim Past Dogs Campaign
newsmax
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has launched a tirade against John McCain, claiming he and his campaign are behind reports tying him to the Muslim faith.
Obama, a committed Christian today,was born to the Muslim faith and raised as a Muslim in his early youth, though he did not actively practice his religion.
Obama began his broadside last Friday at a campaign stop in Scranton, Pa.

“When they say this isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities, what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that, you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections, or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals, or he’s not patriotic,'” Obama told his audience.

McCain’s campaign chairman quickly responded to Obama, calling his comment “a cynical attempt to play the victim.”

On Sunday, Obama again tried to connect McCain to questions being raised about his faith.

“These guys love to throw rocks and hide their hand,” Obama said on ABC’s “This Week.”

He then claimed McCain’s campaign is working behind the scenes, saying the Islamic talk is “being promulgated on Fox News … and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks.”

“What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith,” Obama said, which he described as “my Muslim faith” in apparent verbal gaffe.

Obama’s campaign clearly is concerned about the persistent discussion of matters involving him and Islam, and it even has paid search ads on Google when words like “Obama Muslim” are plugged in. One Obama search ad is headlined “Barack Obama Muslim Myth” with the following statement: “Barack Obama is a Christian. Get the facts at his official site. BarackObama.com.”
Obama’s media offensive over the Muslim issue suggests he wants any discussion of his religious past taken off the table as the campaign enters its most heated period after the convention.
Obama’s Ties to Islam

Obama’s ties to Islam are hereditary. His father was a Muslim, though Obama claims he was nonpracticing. According to Islamic law, Obama was born a Muslim, as religion is passed paternally. (Judaism, for example, passes religious identification maternally.)
Apparently in deference to his father, his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, is an Arabic name. The name Barack is a derivation of “Barak” — the horse that took the prophet Muhammad on his flight into heaven.
Though Obama’s biological father disappeared from his son’s life soon after he was born and returned to his native Kenya, he was raised by his Kansas-born mother and her second husband, an Indonesian who was also a Muslim.
Obama has described his mother as a Christian, but Newsweek recently noted she had eschewed her parents’ faith in favor of secular humanism.
Obama’s mother and her Indonesian husband moved with young Barack from Hawaii to Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, in 1967. Obama lived there from ages 6 to 10.
Reports dating back as far as early 2007 held that Obama was educated at a radical Islamic school in Indonesia. Such reports are false. He never attended such a school.
In fact, Obama first attended a Catholic school for almost three years. However, his mother registered him in the school as a Muslim. As such, he was required to spending time each week praying with Muslim students and studying the Koran.
In the wake of the controversy over Obama’s Muslim upbringing, The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to Jakarta to ferret out the truth.
The Times report, published on March 16, 2008, revealed:
A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Obama “was a Muslim. He went to the mosque.”
Obama’s first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: “Barry (Barack’s nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim.”
In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam.
Some of these details have been confirmed by Obama himself. In his autobiography, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as “a Muslim school.”

Going by what Obama calls a right winger……..Someone better tell FightTheSmears.com that Libyan leader Mu’ammar al-Qadhafi is a ‘right-winger’
Qadhafi goes on to mention that Obama should be proud of his African, Muslim dentity.

Earlier this year, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs claimed: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.”

His campaign Web site hosts a page titled “Fight the Smears” — which is dedicated to fighting what his campaign says are false claims about Obama and Islam.

The web page states categorically: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.”

But the facts suggest that his campaign’s statements are not exactly true.
Middle East Forum director Daniel Pipes wrote on FrontPageMag.com that his research led him to conclude that “Obama was born a Muslim to a nonpracticing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian stepfather.”
After The Los Angeles Times conducted its own investigation, Gibbs amended his previous statement on behalf of Obama, telling the Times: “Obama has never been a practicing Muslim,” the key word being “practicing.”
The Times and other outlets that have reviewed the facts relating to Obama’s upbringing as a Muslim have come under withering criticism from Obama and groups that support him.
But Pipes insists the facts are indisputable, with several pro-Obama sources confirming his ties to Islam though downplaying the intensity of his faith.

“The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that ‘Obama never prayed in a mosque,’” Pipes argues.

“In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his stepfather in a mosque,” Pipes writes on his blog DanielPipes.org. “This precisely substantiates my statement that he ‘for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian stepfather.'”

Indisputable also is the fact that Obama says in the early 1990s he converted to Christianity after attending services at Chicago’s Trinity United Church, whose pastor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
Obama’s campaign is clearly worried that his ties to Islam could become a major problem for swing voters.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Did I mention that his middle name is HUSSEIN. But you’re not supposed to mention that, so I won’t.
“The name Barack is a derivation of “Barak” — the horse that took the prophet Muhammad on his flight into heaven.”
Listen, my children,
And you shall hear
Of the man, Barack,
A horse’s rear…

Seven of 8 of Obama’s great-grandparents were muslim. When Barak (real spelling) went to school in Indonesia his mother registered him as a muslim and the school required all muslim’s to go to prayers and study the Koran at least once a week.
Barak (real spelling) himself speaks of changing his religion to Christianity approximately 20 years ago. Barak is 46 or 47 years old so for the first 26 or 27 years of his life he was not a Christian.
He was born and raised as muslim. Barak may have not practiced his muslim faith often when he became a young man, but he certainly didn’t formally renounce it either until he started attending Rev. Wright’s church at any rate.
I am just as concerned about his Marxist connections as I am his Muslim connections.
In 1997, Obama sponsored a bill in Illinois for setting aside an Islamic Day and requiring Islamic food inspections:
It did not pass:
90th General Assembly Summary of SR0110
Senate Sponsors: Obama
Short description: 11/1/97-ISLAMIC DAY
Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Declares November 1, 1997 to be South Shore Islamic Day.

What does one do on “Islamic Day” anyway? Blow up buildings?

And anolther bill:
Also Obama sponsored Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the “Halal Food Act,” providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to REQUIRE that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.
“Halal Food Act”
In his book he said he would stand with the Muslims if the political winds shifted.
