Oh good grief! Spare me.

If it was intentional, then they certainly would have let the rest of us get that copy of the paper too.

I think it was an accident -- albeit funny ... but an accident nonetheless.

One last note about Obama and the Muslim connections.

If I may qoute Bill Clinton,

I did not have sexural relations with that woman.

((And that's all I gotta say about that))

A question to be brought up....how many people have to OK the stories before they go to print?
"an honest mistake" my ass.

*wanting to add that I still am not backing any candidate, including Obama but stuff like this just does not belong*

Tis true they have to be proof read first unless in a rush to get them printed I have seen/heard of many a mistakes in papers. Even with out rushing they still make mistakes.

If it wasn't a mistake they wouldn't of pulled it so fast. I have seen papers printed many a times with mistakes without the mistake being noticed till much later on.

But who knows. It don't makes sense to pull it so fast if it was done on purpose.

Could be a sign?

The only other thing I can think of is they were exercising their freedom of speech and Obama had the ad pulled? Or someone from his crew?

I dont know, that doesnt sound like it makes much sense.

But the fact is that Obama's father was a Muslim they say no proof exsist that proves he was a Radical Muslim how ever looking at his father name which is Barack Hussein Obama SR. and Barack Hussein Obama real name would bring up questions.

This makes no sense. Are you saying a son being named after their father would bring up questions? Didn't seem to for George Bush Jr. Or are you saying that being given the middle name Hussein brings up questions because it's the same as Saddam's last name? If so, I suggest you do some reading. Saddam Hussein was born in 1937. Barack Obama was born in 1961. I don't know when his father was born but as Saddam was 24 at the time Barack was born. I'd guess his father was around that age give or take a few years. So are you suggesting that Barack's father shouldn't have been given the middle name Hussein since someone who was no more than a toddler when he was born, who had that last name, grew up to be a bad person? Or are you saying that Obama Sr shouldn't have given his son his name since someone who was a 24yo nobody but had Hussein in his name went on to become a bad guy? Or perhaps your suggesting that because Obama and Osama are similar they should have changed their last name because a terrorist with a similar sounding name was 4 years old when Barack was born?

Do you question the sanity of everyone named Timothy or Charles or Jeffrey? Do you question the loyalty to this country of everone named Arnold? Do you think everyone named Olaf must be a Nazi since it sounds similar to Adolph? Does this sound like the stupidest bunch of questions ever? Because people who fear Obama because of his name fall right in with line with these questions.

It wasn't an ad, it was a headline.

People need to get educated before spreading mistruths about an individual, culture, situation, etc.. Obama is/was not a Muslim. He had sporadic contact with his father, who lived in Kenya whereas Barack grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. What does it matter if he were a Muslim anyway? This fear hysteria regarding Obama has gotten far too out of control that it now borders on pure stupidity. Educate yourselves, people.

OMG, I can't believe people keep going on with these ridiculous ideas!
1. "Obama is a Muslim." Yeah? Well then why are other people so concerned about the CHRISTIAN church he was part of for the last 20 years!
2. "Obama is a black racist." Oh really? He's actually half white and was raised by his WHITE mother and grandmother!

Honestly, what kind of people start these ridiculous rumors? This kind of hate-mongering is evil. I believe you know a person by his or control voters' minds by starting these kind of lies!

Starlady01 · 06-10-2008, 04:52 AM

Then I guess that takes us back to it was a mistake.

It has not gotten out of coutrol no one has even mentioned where he went to school.

Alot of times and yes I have seen it the child is rasied in the religion of the father even if the mother doesn't agree or accepts. Don't ask me why I have seen mom's who hate the fathers but some how keeps the father wishes.

This isn't always the way but it does happen.
