The Moonie Times is officially indistinguishable from World Nut Daily.
During his White House years, William Jefferson Clinton — someone Judge Sonia Sotomayor might call a "white male" — was dubbed "America’s first black president" by a black admirer. Applying the standard of identity politics and pandering to a special interest that earned Mr. Clinton that distinction, Barack Hussein Obama would have to be considered America’s first Muslim president.
"Would have to be considered…", mmm-hmm, if you’re a crazy discredited neocon Birther wingnut like Frank Gaffney.
This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black.
So Obama "would have to be" but is "not necessarily" a Muslim. Got it.
After his five months in office, and most especially after his just-concluded visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, however, a stunning conclusion seems increasingly plausible: The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich.
Why, he’s not only a Muslim — he’s a Hitler-like Muslim! Here’s the proof:
• Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to "the Holy Koran." Non-Muslims — even pandering ones — generally don’t use that Islamic formulation.
• Mr. Obama established his firsthand knowledge of Islam (albeit without mentioning his reported upbringing in the faith) with the statement, "I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." Again, "revealed" is a depiction Muslims use to reflect their conviction that the Koran is the word of God, as dictated to Muhammad.
• Then the president made a statement no believing Christian — certainly not one versed, as he professes to be, in the ways of Islam — would ever make. In the context of what he euphemistically called the "situation between Israelis, Palestinians and Arabs," Mr. Obama said he looked forward to the day ". . . when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) joined in prayer."
So to summarize: it’s perfectly logical to conclude that Obama’s a Muslim, though I’m not saying he really is, necessarily, but here’s all the convincing, irrefutable proof that he gets on his knees, faces Mecca and prays to Allah five times a day in the Oval Office, while forcing Michelle and the girls to wear hijabs when no one’s looking.
To quote Tbogg: "Q.E.D. Case closed. In your face. Suck it."

Hitler was a Muslim? I’m so confused.
You did mean, “if you’re a crazy discredited neocon
BirtherBircher wingnut like Frank Gaffney.” didn’t you?It’s the Weekly World News weak sister paper.
Gaffney is president of the Center for Security Policy? Now that’s a scary thought. Gotta be a clown car think tank.
Of course we know that Obama is a Muslim because he has spent his entire life going to a Protestant Church (undercover naturally). Why, he wasn’t even born in America but some “exotic” location far from our shores. And he’s darker than Frank so he must be a Muslim. s/
Fwank’s been snorting his cwayons again.
Of course, the fact that he’s speaking to Muslim people who do revere the Koran with respect and treating them as equals couldn’t possibly have anything to do with it. After all, how many non-Christians refer to the Bible as “the Holy Bible” when speaking to Christians to whom they are showing respect?
Oh wait, they often do (at least here in the heart of the Bible Belt Buckle…).
By Muslim, Frank means he doesn’t treat “them” like oily brown subjects of the American Empire like all of Franks heroes do. Right Frank? Miserable prick.
The real issue-Obama is a black man. A smart black man with a smart black wife with smart black children. And he can multi-task, too.
.
Being a Muslim is illegal now. Used to be Jews. Even Christians were outlawed, back in the classical day. The man knows his stuff. It’s not like his mind is just a vaguely obscene bumper-sticker.
.
So we have Gaffney calling Obama a fascist and a muslim while Gingrich is calling them socialist and a pagan.
Okay, PBO. See what happens when you research a subject before flapping your gums diagonally and smirkily like your predecessor? See what happens when you speak from an informed position? See what happens when you are immensely respectful in a monumentally delicate environment? What were you thinking?! Oh. And that’s another thing. The thinking thingie. Dontcha be doing any more of that, either, ya hear?
my head exploded.
what do republicans have against intelligence?
or is it the other way around?
Since Gaffney has a beard, it is obvious that he is too lazy to shave. Either that, or he’s a terrorist. What else is he lazy about? He didn’t take care of the hair on his head and it fell out. He is unwilling to maintain his person, therfore he is a slob. Doe he live in a hovel? Gafney looks like a big ol’ nerd. He surely must have been beaten up by other kids on the playground. Is he psychologically damaged? Is this why he hates America?
Gafney wants no Americans to be Muslim, therefore all Americans must be forced into the religion that Gaffney chooses. Gaffney condemns our Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. Why is Gaffney anti-American?
Gaffney should be extraordinally rendered. Since he is anti-American, he must also be a terrorist.
After reading this gooper bullshit, I am ashamed to be a human.
Why does any of this have to be explained to people? It’s not a proposition from Wittgenstein, after all.
Constant name calling is the game Noot plays. The media love him for it. Sadly, with leaders like Reid and Pelosi, the Democrats will always play defense against Noot.
kind of like magnets.
From the picture Gaffney looks an awful lot like a pedophile with masochistic tendencies.
I am not saying that he is, but pedophiles have been know to have beards and I heard that masochists often wear glasses.
And Gaffney sounds vaguely Irish so there is a fair chance that he was a Catholic Alter Boy.
But, I am not saying any of these things.
Munich, Chamberlain . . . ?
That metaphor has mold all over it.
It’s the only one the neocons know. It applies to everything they don’t like at that particular moment, i.e., “This escargot tastes like Chamberlain at Munich.”
Bingo.
Gaffney’s think tank
http://www.tractorsupply.com/w…..cial=false
For reasons I’ve never been able to figure out, they have completely failed in their attempts to tie Obama to Hitler. Isn’t about time they started in with comparisons to Chairman Mao or Stalin? /s
It was, by the way, wise of England to delay war as long as possible- they had nothing to fight with until later.
and I hear Sotomayor wears a muslin sheet
Is it sewn up with a hood?
That tastes like Chambermaid in a tunic.
Sewin’ ya Sotomayor, of course.
Of course, that part where Obama said “I am a Christian” was just his way of showing respect to a religious tradition that’s completely foreign to him.
Jeebus, he was supposed to go over there and say “I spit on your filthy fake religion”? Is that what you’re really saying, Frank?
I think it would be good for the country and good for Obama if he were to confirm the goopers worst feigned fears in a national speech broadcast at prime time with all the icons either present in the shot or in his speech.
the rank residue in the bottom of the tank is the perfect breeding ground for fever-inducing
mistake-osmosquitoes.Good Afternoon Blue Texan and Firedogs -
sorry to nit BT, but ol Frank went ‘all in’ on the crazy 6 1/2 years ago:
Frank Gaffney is a sleazy right-wing propagandist. But then, so are his masters at the Washington Moonie Times.
For what the papers are doing to themselves, they have only themselves to blame for their eventual exstinkshun.
I guess the 1996 bombing would have been to raze the building after the 1995 bombing of it.
Wouldn’t that be the Holy Bible Belt Buckle?
True. She wears it around her ankle and foot. And it’s got funny writing on it.
Looks Egyptian.
are you casting as Persians? :~)
.
Fixed it for ya
You’re right! I feel so out of place here (in Holy Biblical Texas) that I can’t even think straight! :)
After so many years of Bush pretending to be a Christian, Republics just assume that all Presidents lie about their religion.
Now settle down, we have several very similar “think” tanks on our farm and I take offense that you would suggest our Belted Galloways are as ignorant or as dim-witted as Mr. Gaffney.
I must respectfully object to your metaphor.
;-)
Well, that works too, but Gaffney publicly questioned whether Obama was born in the US, which makes him a Birther.
