Thumbs down This is "NOT funny (And it's sad)

But in a sad sort of way it is funny.
Sad that people actually believe this.

Washington post covered this article
Another version of the Democratic candidate's background, one that is entirely false: Barack Obama, born in Africa, is a possibly gay Muslim racist who refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Jim Peterman from FINDLAY, Ohio has to decide

Does he choose to trust a TV commercial in which Obama talks about his "love of country"? Or his neighbor of 40 years, Don LeMaster, a Navy veteran who heard from a friend in Toledo that Obama refuses to wear an American-flag pin?

Does he trust a local newspaper article that details Obama's Christian faith? Or his friend Leroy Pollard, a devoted family man so convinced Obama is a radical Muslim that he threatened to stop talking to his daughter when he heard she might vote for him?

"I'll admit that I probably don't follow all of the election news like maybe I should," Peterman said. "I haven't read his books or studied up more than a little bit. But it's hard to ignore what you hear when everybody you know is saying it. These are good people, smart people, so can they really all be wrong?"

I agree that it is very sad.

However, it isn't just in Ohio. Search on the candidate's name, and the word "Muslim" and you will find multiple results here on X5World. Those threads were generally started by only a small handfull of posters, but one of them got over 1100 views.

Expand the search from religion to other themes and you will find similar smear threads.

I told you guys about this a few months ago. Everytime you hear one of those right wing radio talk show hosts call him by his full name "Barak Hussein Obama", you know why they are doing it.
