check out this juicy gossip!!

Published Jul. 18, 2008

It really is amazing how gullible people are. I completely understand people not liking Obama and being against his policies and not wanting him to be the President of the U.S. But its unbeleivable how many people have been had and beleive the false information that circulates the web. Please people, wake up.

Be against Obama, hate Obama, whatever, that's fine. But don't base your opinions on lies. Obama is NOT a muslim. Obama was NOT sworn in on the Quran (that was congressman Keith Ellison, who is a muslim), and Obama does NOT refuse to say the pledge of allegiance. This is all false. Please people, use some common sense.

I posted this in a story, and thought it might be a good idea to post it as a blog. 

 And yes, I realize it happens on the other end too.

The good news is, like the struggling economy, Obama is only psychological. Grandpa will win in a landslide against this figment of our imagination. And America will continue to be #1 thanks to our current political policies.

Email internet rumors are easy to start. All you need is a crumb of truth (in this case a man actually named Obama who is running for president) and then throw in bits of information that don't have to be true..they just need to sound "plausible". People who are already wary of Obama are eager to believe the information and have no problem whatsoever with forwarding it on for friends to read. It takes on a life of it's own - even though it's no more true than when it was first concocted. No one had his kidney's harvested in a motel room...no one was charged big money for Mrs. Field's cookie recipe...no one was found dead in the desert with a can of Spam in his throat....and Barack Obama is not a Muslim and has never taken any oath on the Quran. etc.... etc....

Really? It doesn't matter.

CNN, ABC, NBC and other liberal media outlets are in love with Obama.

There is really very little that FoxNews and conservative talk radio can do to derail Obama's march to the White House.

Obama has more to worry about form those who claim to support him (Jesse Jackson for starters).

While there are a large number of people who believe that Obama is or was a Muslim, those people weren't going to vote for him anyway.

This election is his to lose. If he loses, he has no one to blame but himself.

Tidbit-I'll give you a little of that, although you assuming that most minorities are on assistance is a little racist itself. I really haven't heard too much of that though. I hear it a lot more from conservatives saying that is what democrats say. And those minorities are living under a republican now, so they can make their own judgements.

bullet656 - so you do not think that by the Democrats intentionally preying on mintorities fears with rhetoric like "Those Republicans are going to take away all your assistance and leave you stranded with nothing" or "republicans don't care about you, they will leave you unable to feed your children" is not fear mongering with lies? Democrats feed fear through racial division. They have intentionally kept a huge population of americans in poverty and dependent on the government for the sole base of keeping a large voter population. Once they are depenedent on gov't assistance - they put the fear in them that if a Repub is elected, they will take it all away. That's horrible. It's the most racist behavior I've ever seen that still exists. It it is one of the largest examples of fear mongering out of the Democratic party to date.

The first time I got that email, it was from my father, and I politely refuted the allegations in it, to the point of saying if you do check snopes.com, you will see that it was all lies. He accepted and understood what I said--he's 84 years old, and the internet is a strange and wonderful thing to him.

A while later, I got the same email from a very good, close friend. She had been sending alot of forwards about border control and illegal aliens, which I read, but didn't respond or forward. When I sent the same response to her that I had sent to my dad, she took me off her list, and has not "spoken", either through email or by phone, since. We were basically excluded from her wedding, but, she did contact my girlfriend and nonchalantly invited us to a party/reception Mother's Day weekend, when my son graduated from college and prevented us going.

Moral?? We have polarized ourselves and become so determined to dictate our beliefs, that we lose ourselves in the process.

come on tmed, stop being childish. you just proved my point (or rested my case, lol)

tmedlin-how? fear-mongering is not the old dirty tactics that people use.

"so your saying that repubs hold the market on this [fear-mongering]?"

Not to be too argumentative, but I think that repubs do hold the marketing on fear mongering. PRove me wrong.

LOL - I rest my case!
