Barack and the "radical Muslim" nonsense

---

So the right wing loves it's chain email SPAM and Obama is now targeted.

Here is the jist of one of them:

"...
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US
from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!! Would you want this man leading our country?....... NOT ME!!!"

What a pant load.
For a clearer picture that is not filled with prejudice and hate look here:

1. Those people are so stupid they shouldn't be....

allowed to vote. What a bunch of total nonsense and if it weren't so serious it would almost make you laugh, that anyone could be so ignorant as to believe that crap.

2. Debunking SPAM political emails

Here's how I do it:

1. Highlight a unique section of the text, a couple of sentences or so.
2. Copy text.
3. Paste text into Google search window.
4. Search.
5. Notice all the "urban legend" references.
6. Check them out.

6. I am also in favor disenfranchising these fools from voting

Intelligence tests for voting must be adopted.

7. You know, even if snopes hadn't totally debunked this

it doesn't make sense on its own. First they talk of Wahhabism and them that Obama is a Muslim--hello, MOST Muslims are NOT Wahhabists! But then the people this email is directed to think all Muslims are alike, don't they? Oh yeah, and all Muslims are brown or black skinned, all Muslim women must be covered from head to toe with black sack thingies and they worship this idol called "Allah" which of course is totally different from God.....if ignorance were gold, these people would be rich.

8. And even worse is that

the freepazoids' Chimperor is much closer to the Wahabbis than any other American politician. They always project their own faults onto others.
