RNC Committeewoman: Obama Told Muslims That He Was A Muslim

[onehandle]

The Republican ranks have, by and large, cautiously avoided weighing in on recent poll numbers showing that a healthy portion of the American public believes that President Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Wary of the cultural sensitivities such discussions entail, the de facto response seems to be the one offered by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Sunday: "The president says he's a Christian," McConnell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I take him at his word. I don't think that's in dispute."

There have been a few notable exceptions. Congressional candidate Phil Ganley said last week that he did not have "a position on whether he's a Muslim" only to walk back his remarks amidst the uproar. No one in the official GOP tent, however, has fully embraced the rumor. Until now.

Last Friday, a Republican National Committee woman Kim Lehman, responding to an article about the polls in Politico, accused the publication of trying "to protect Obama" by denying his true religious heritage.

I'm just saying I find it curious that she's never denied it. That's all.

9. Has he really?

Or is Kim Lehman just a methhead shithook bobblehead like every other wingnut woman?

10. Obama is a devout Christian. But what I don't understand is,

so what if he were a Muslim? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim? I don't think so. While Obama is not a Muslim, in the interest of diversity and inclusion, i hope that one day we will have a Muslim president.

11. Right wing dog whistle...

Muslim = Ni##er

12. Ah man, she caught him. What do we do now? Read it for yourself and weep.

"Now part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I'm a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith."

Yep she nailed him on that one all right. Kim Lehman is living proof that even a woman can be a wanker.

14. I wish the DNC would hold a I am a Muslim Day or Muslim's Rock Day or just

about anything that would grab the attention away from the hateful bigotry and focus on the fact that we are talking about
people! The insanity that has come from this needs to stop...breathe America and LIGHTEN UP.


Of course, I would love to see the RW lose their minds too over such an event. Seriously, the Democrats need to take control
over this asap.
