Clinton Doesn’t Believe Obama is a Muslim ‘As Far as I Know’

"No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know." Note: In the related links to this post there is a clip of Obama denying he is a Muslim, and also a clip of a potential Obama supporter confused about his faith.

Of course he is a Muslim.

More smears. No, he’s not; it’s been proven a fraudulent claim, over and over again. Then again, some small minds just cannot let go. I used to support Hillary, but this sleaze and trash mud slinging and these dirty tactics have repulsed me. It seems that her supporters are even worse at it then she is, but they must have got the go ahead from somewhere to try to destroy an honorable man. Disgusting.

If the wife of the former impeached president thinks she’s going to win, she needs to remind herself how she sat idly by and watch bill clinton ignore the Khobar Towers attack, the US embassy attacks in Africa, the first WTC, attack and the attack on the USS Cole. She sat idly by and watched him pardon the FALN terrorists in exchange for her NY votes. She sat idly by and watched his do nothing policy with regard to national security. She cannot be trusted to do anything about terrorism because, thankfully, we have her 8 yr record of ignoring and failing to recognize the growing threat of terrorism. Terrorism grew and flourished during the clinton years. Be afraid of this woman America…be very afraid!! She also sat idly by and gave up on health care after she ‘tried’. What happens if she ‘tries’ to keep us safe and fails? Will she give up?

She'slostIt   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:18 am

Hillary has lost so much credibility. I was truly excited when she started her campaign but her attitude and campaign have been disasters.

She can’t win the delegate count, the popular vote, the # of states; it is just a matter of how far she is willing to drag down Sen. Obama, the party, and herself.

gmundenat   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:18 am

This is an overty xenophobic appeal to racism from Hillary Clinton. There is no place in the US Senate for this hate; Sen. Reid should start the ball rolling to impeach Hillary. Democrats now scream at and hate other Democrats; Hillary has to go.

sigmund fraud   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:29 am

I can’t forgive Clinton for pardoning the FALN terrorists. I was in Fraunces Tavern when they bombed it and it was frightening. I saw bodies with no arms; bodies lying on the ground in the street. I had nightmares for six months after that event. I was terrorized by the terrorists and that schlemiel pardons them. Thank you no. I don’t want another helping of the Clintons.

IMPEACH HILLARY CLINTON NOW

If you think the 60 minutes interview with Clinton was bad , wait until the Republicans get a hold of Obama. He “ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.”

Lisa   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:09 am

Hillary – an Experience that we don’t need.

Mad Max   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:09 am

This is nothing more than smear and fear. It probably originated from the right wing fear-mongers. They are afraid fof Obama. We will hear this same fear-mongering over and over from the conservatives if Obama gets the nomination, and worse. Remember to tell folks this is nothing more that right wing lies, and that this is really all the right wing has to work with since ‘their president’ and ‘their congress’ have nothing positive to show for 7 years for partisan politics. I certainly hope we can get the so-called ‘conservatives’ (whatever that means) out in the fall. They have cause too much damage already. Obama is a Christian, period. Obama is a good man. Barack Hussein Obama will make a fine president. Hey folks on the right, his middle name is OK to.

Isabella Andreini   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:12 am

Agree with Dustin. The TV journalist is trying to box her in, make her stumble.The Breitbart article is totally biased and purposely twisting her words She never says Obama is a Muslim. She says “there is nothing to base it on as far as I know”, in other words, the rumor that he is a Muslim is in her opinion, baseless, without a base.Nobody has ever told her on what the rumor is based. This is clear language and somebody at Drudge is trying to discredit this woman.
But the twist is, that the article manages to discredit both Democrats at the same time because it finds a reason to repeat the rumor that Obama might be a Muslim.

Mad Max   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:29 am

This is an issue right out of the Rove play book. This is rubbish. This actually hurts Hillary more than helps her because many feel she is responsible for gettting this started. I think her people actually did send the picture to Drudge that was been the focus all last week. That hurt her more than helped.

Actually, after seeing an evangelical christian in the whitehouse the last seven years I am never want another one of those in power.

Leon   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:31 am

Dustin,

the fact that she even uses such a comment (’as far as i know’) is proof that she really WANTS to have the fear-thoughts of the Hussein-name out there. And that is the repulsive things here.

Let’s face it. If Obama would have said: “Hillary is not a lesbian……AS FAR AS I KNOW”, papers would be ablaze with headlines like: “OBAMA SUGGESTING CLINTON COULD BE LESBIAN”

That’s how this smear works and Clinton knows that fully well. It is beneath a senator and therefor all the more beneath a presidential candidate. Anyone with decency will not vote for her.

Mike   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:39 am

For all of you attacking Obama because “he’s a Muslim” take a second and realize exactly what it is your attacking him of. Senator Keith Ellison is a Muslim and last time I checked he’s done nothing short of a stand up job. Quit trying to label people by your false notions of what a religion stands for and judge them by what they stand for. If the only thing you have against Obama is his middle name is Hussein and his name rhymes with Osama then Id say he has a great record, but then again for simple-minded bigots like Denise and John Romano his name is enough to not vote for him

Adam   March 3rd, 2008 - 2:44 am

“…and….what is Hillary?”

Leon   March 3rd, 2008 - 3:40 am

the ‘as far as i know’ comment is a new low-point for Hillary.

Of course she knows it isn’t true. But by saying it this way, at least you can keep the stories out there, right?

Sorry Hillary. If you would have spoken out like McCain did on this issue, i would have given you some credit. This just proves you being a duplicity-driven opportunist.

ginnypoo   March 3rd, 2008 - 3:46 am

Maybe when the shoe was on the other foot, and his camp was playing the racist card and he was asked if the Clinton’s were racist…instead of saying he knew for sure they weren’t (since his camp was the one pushing the story, anyway) he just said people would draw their own conclusions….now you guys don’t like it that she leaves it ambiguous. Well, he should have spoken up for her then, and she probably would have been more firm now…..pay back isn’t fun in the big leagues.

Steve   March 3rd, 2008 - 4:33 am

WoW !!! What a choice…. a “green” Senator with shady ties, a woman either too unable to read the tea leaves in front of her face about her own husband or too unwilling to stand politically on her own without him, or a fossil wolf in sheeps clothing… Looks like you Dems win no matter what… One of your socialist ilk gets the job….

Buck Cronkite   March 3rd, 2008 - 5:16 am

Anybody here old enough to remember the paranoia over JFK’s Catholicism? It’s very difficult being a man of some years, seeing the stupidity of religious bigotry alive and well in the US. As for critics of Christian leaders, can anyone name a presidential candidate of either party who professes unbelief? No. Hillary’s a Methodist, Obama is Church of Christ. There’s a good reason why all profess faith: They know, while it’s escaped your moronic judgment, that we’re a Christian nation. Deal with it, and put a sock on your bigotry.

Buck Cronkite   March 3rd, 2008 - 5:22 am

Joey, when you’re through spewing religious bigotry and intolerance, maybe you can tell all of us which candidate running for office is ‘not’ a Christian. I won’t hold my breath waiting for an answer, cause you won’t find one, either now or at anytime in the last 200 years. We’re a Christian nation, Bird-Brain. You might be happier in Europe.

Ringside   March 3rd, 2008 - 5:39 am

Yea! for posters like Dustin and Tman. This is hogwash. She is only responding to the overemphasis the reporter is giving to the issue. How can someone ever know for sure someone else’s religion? With so much pressure it is normal to say “as far as I know.” Come on people.

And… if he is a Muslim? He may have been but I don’t think he is now. All these presidential hopefuls calculate such things way ahead of time. He probably converted with the presidency in mind. But, if he, in fact, was a Muslim? Hey, America the Beautiful, remember “Freedom of Religion?”

I am inspired by the guy and think he has shown some excellent judgement already. He is suggesting placing a Republican as Sec of Defense. I have no problem with that even though I am a Democrat.

You want to really fight terrorism (which cannot be beaten militarily i.e. Ireland, Israel etc.)? Then bring the sane people from all parties and countries together and recreate America as a positive new force in the world.

Rose   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:05 am

HILLARY CLITON IS AS LOW AS THEY COME THAT IS WHY SHE SLOWLY LOOSING BECAUSE THE VOTERS ARE LEARNING HER SLIMY WAY THE SAME WAY THEY USED TO RUN THE WHITEHOUSE BACK WHEN SHE WAS THERE AND BACK WHEN HER HUSBAND WAS A GOVERNOR.
SHE WANTS WOMEN VOTES,SHE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP THE WOMEN MOVEMENT IF ANYTHING HER AND HER HUSBAND SET IT BACK MANY YEARS.
SHE BLAMED THE WOMEN WHEN HER HUSBAND RAPED THEM. WHEN HILLARY WAS AT THE LAW FIRM AND A 13 YEAR OLD WAS RAPED SHE MADE THE STATEMENT THAT SHE BROUGHT THIS ON TO HERSELF. WHEN HER HUSBAND BECAME GOVERNOR SHE WAS PUT ON THE BORD FOR RAPED WOMEN AND SHE WAS CHALLENGED ABOUT THIS CASE THE PEOPLE THAT DID THIS WERE ORTERED FEW MONTHS LATER, TO SILENCE THEM.
IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED IF SHE WOULD BE PRESIDENT.

I see all you Obama supporters are throwing around the bigot and racist word alot when in reality Obama supporters are the biggest racist and bigots I have ever meet. Of course there man goes to a church with a racist minister because they all come from the same creed. Most of his old supporters are extreme racists. Yes Obama supporters use the same style of tatics Hitler used to gain power and it shows big time. They also act like the traitors they are to this country by blasting our brave soldiers fighting for the Iragi peoples freedom and keeping our freedom secure. Maybe they do it because they are not real men so they blast the real men to make themselves feel better about there wimpy selves. Bill and Hill could do no wrong up until they got there Obama now they just throw Hillary under the bus. Thank you all you Obama supporters for your loyalty you bunch of donkeys.

Brian   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:59 am

Obama is not a muslim… this is just fear-mongering… however, I am pretty certain that Clinton is something that rhymes with rich… I hope all of her mudslinging comes to an end tomorrow.

Barack Obama is not Osama Bin Laden. Barack Obama is not African but American. Barack Obama is not a Muslim, but a Christian. American Idiot

So you WON’T be voting for Obama then? He evidently “prays to Jesus every night.”

Donald D   March 3rd, 2008 - 8:33 am

When Hilary said, “As far as I know” (that Obama is a Christian) that is the most disgusting thing she has said in this entire campaign. Worse then if she had put out the photo of Obama in the African garb. Oh, my god, that is so telling I can’t believe it’s not getting more play!

ricardo maxwell   March 3rd, 2008 - 8:43 am

Actually, most people have no way of knowing for certain if B. Hussein Obama is a muslim in his heart or not. He is descended from a Muslim. He has been raised in a muslim school and environment. Many people say that, if he does not profess a Muslim faith soon, then Islamists will go after him as an apostate. They say he may be “sleeping” until he gets into the office of President. Even if this is not true, we really don’t want an afro-centric Marxist as President either.

What a bunch of biased idiots. She says he is not a muslim over and over and the guy keeps asking her the same question, so at the very end, after saying he is not a muslim many times, she adds as “far as I know”, and somehow this statement becomes the sole focus of this web page and the comment discussion.

Oh yeah, what a smear. More like what a joke. And what a bunch of idiots.

Viking   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:17 am

I was neutral to positive about her when the campaign started but I find her despicable. The campaign has brought out the smarmy worst in her, as opposed to Obama who has grown in stature and depth.
He’s risen to the challenge, and she’s sunk to new lows. Her answer should have been 1) “A candidate’s religion is of no difference in America because we have no religious tests for office” and 2) “He is a Christian, full stop.” Her clever little “as far as I know” was the lowest form of insinuation, and I am ashamed I ever respected her.

Wow. More Drudge is really reaching in bothering to post a link to this. Obviously his former partner runs this site, but still.

So in one of the 50 million times she states he’s not a Muslim she apparently doesn’t say it compassionately enough and THAT’S a story?

I love going to Drudgereport because plain and simple it’s the easiest news site to navigate and often breaks stories ahead of anybody. But how in the world a gay Republican becomes so obsessed with bashing Hillary with misleading headlines I’ll never know.

Already the unflattering picture where she’s speaking with her mouth wide open has been up for 24 hours or more if I’m not mistaken and has been linked to at least two different stories.

Michael P.   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:41 am

So, if having the middle name of Hussein automatically makes Obama a Muslim, then I guess everyone with names like David and Sarah and Michael and John and Sam and Ruth and Rachel and Adam and so on and so on are automatically Jewish?

Too many bigoted idiots are showing up on these boards…

Dow Buzzell   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:41 am

OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM. HE USED TO BE A MUSLIM AND STUDIED THE KORAN IN INDONESIA AS A CHILD. BUT HE’S NOT A MUSLIM. HE’S A CHRISTIAN. SURE, HIS PASTOR GAVE AN AWARD TO LOUIS FARRAKHAN, BUT OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM. HE’S SAID SO. SURE, HIS FATHER WAS A MUSLIM, AND HIS STEP-FATHER AS WELL, BUT HE IS NOT A MUSLIM HIMSELF.

This story kills me. Both Clinton and Obama say they have no idea how these baseless rumors about Obama being Muslim got started. Oy vey! Give me a break. Duh! His father is Muslim, his stepfather’s Muslim, his grandfather was Muslim, his brother is Muslim, he spent 4 years growing up in Jakarta where he attended a Muslim school, he has been given public support from Louis Farahkkan, an avowed Anti-Semite and Black Muslim leader and, to top it all off, his middle name is Hussein. Of course it makes perfect sense that people think he’s Muslim. Why wouldn’t we think he at least used to be Muslim if not now? It’s just so silly for everyone to say it’s a baseless smear campaign. There is definitely enough of a basis for people to consider this an issue. I just can’t believe Hillary isn’t making more out of it. What is she waiting for? Her campaign may come to an end Tuesday. Hillary, get on with it. Time’s a wasting, woman.

There was an article that Obama is more Arab than African. His biggest supporter is a Syrian who is back by a billionaire criminal Iraq who worked for Saddam. I would guess Barrack Huseein Obama is also backed by Saudi money. He cannot be truested because he is from sleazy corrupt Chicago. Chicago now has the highest tax rate sin the country. Obama will sell Israel out in a heartbeat. If Obama was an American African-American who was not from a slimy corrupt city and was not a mega socialist – I would vote for him. If Democrats nominate him, he will be beaten by McCain. Vietnam War hero versus a Muslim. No contest.

Obama is a Christian. He belongs to a church and has been baptized. That church may be very liberal in it’s doctrine but that is a matter for discussion among brothers and sisters in Christ, not the public at large.

All you have to do to become a Christian is, to Hear, Believe, Repent, and be Baptized. Once you do this you belong to the church no matter what anyone says about your past or your family. Until Obama says otherwise I must accept and, yes, love him as a brother.

Joey   March 3rd, 2008 - 10:36 am

Bush, cheney, rumsfeld, alberto gonzales, rove…all Christians and all played a huge part in screwing up our country a dozen different ways so lets not try to fool ourselves saying that because Obama has a Muslim father and he might be Muslim (which isnt even a bad thing!!!!!) that means that he’s going to hurt our country if anything he’s going to bring it back to the top where it used to be before Bush (a white Christian male with a lot of experience) messed it all up

Political correctness says we can’t call Obama a Muslim or even use the guys middle name. Yet all the FACTS tell us he is a Muslim.

This election has come down to:

A old fart war hero, who more that likely can’t live long enough to serve out a full term.
A Socialist B***h who is demanding her crown, and hiding her Chinese & Dubai donations.
A Silver tounge Muslim, who may well be the anti-christ.

Obama says that the decision to invade Iraq was a mistake and yet many members of his party and the overwhelming majority of the American public supported that decision in the early days of the war. How soon we forget. Saddam thumbed his nose for years at the UN and refused to allow inspections for TEN YEARS !!! Now Obama concedes that there ARE Al-Quaida in Iraq. Isn’t that what was supposed to happen? We fight them there instead of here? Now we want this alleged leader in charge in the face of potential multi-front tactics by I’minaJihad, Chavez, Putin, Kim somthin’ ILL, and who knows who else… Don’t look now America it could all be over in a bright flash!!!

Felix   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:26 am

Well Hillary, as far as I know, you won’t release personal information because it will show exactly how much money your receiving from Chinese and Dubai interests.
Of course Obama is a Muslim, what little we know about this guy all says MUSLIM MUSLIM MUSLIM
It is so rewarding watching Hillary come apart, and the best part is she’s doing it to herself. The smartest woman in the world is making some really dumb moves, and has no one to blame but herself. Excllent !

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:35 am

well I could care less is Romney is a Morman but I do care if a Muslims want to be our president. Because unfortunately far too often Muslims have not been vocal enough at denouncing Muslim extremists. I draw the line at Muslims these days until I see that they are backing away from Jihad.

Rev. Jack   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:37 am

I was raised an atheist and became a Christian later in life. So even if you’re right about Obama’s childhood, that still doesn’t negate his current claims.

Could he be lying? Perhaps. I don’t put anything past a politician in America.

But I tell you this- if he is a super-secret Islamist, he sure is letting his wife and daughters get away with a lot of things Muslims usually don’t let the women in their families do.

If he is secretly Muslim or quasi-muslim, his family life strongly suggests he ain’t the “blow up the world” sort of Muslim. No, if he’s muslim, he’s the kind of muslim hard-core muslims love to hate.

In any event, this is all inuendo and fear-mongering. If you don’t like Obama, give me something sunstantial to agree with you on. Give my policy. Give me evidence of lies and not just rumors. Give me an argument based on his voting record in the Senate. Those sorts of arguments I can respect.

But this stuff? Meh.

Sadnow   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:43 am

I am not a Hillary fan, but that part of her quote is taken out of context. She says repeatedly that Obama is not a Muslim, but once adds those three words. The people that think that she is smearing Obama or that Obama is in fact a Muslim (or that it would matter if he actually were) are not total morons who cannot comprehend what they hear with their own two ears. As far as I know.

Jacque Bauer   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:49 am

Of course Obama is not Muslim (as far as I know). That is why his momma gave him a good Christian name, like … Barack

Brian, Maryland   March 3rd, 2008 - 11:54 am

Personally- I think most of the democratic party should be shot, by firing squad, for sedition. The golden boy and hillary should be the first to go.

Maria in TX   March 3rd, 2008 - 12:10 pm

Hillary is using English like her husband did. Remember how embarressed we were trying to defend “what is, is?” Well, here we go again.

She has lost my vote. She knows she was trying to distance herself from the smear without hurting it in anyway.

Just a little to dishonest for my vote tomorrow.

dman   March 3rd, 2008 - 12:19 pm

Obama – 70s style socialism wrapped in a ‘new’ wrapper… Breath of fresh air my a**. If you think the economy is bad now…

Steve   March 3rd, 2008 - 12:29 pm

Just what we need now… a “potential” Muslim sympathizer in the White House who has NO international nor executive experience facing the possible multi-front plot cooked up by I’minaJihad, Chavez, Putin, Kim Jung Il, and who knows who else… Don’t worry about the 3am call to the White House… That will be ground zero.

Ric   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:11 pm

Most of the comments imply that it would be a bad thing if Senator Obama were a Muslim. So what if he is? Why is being a “devout Christian” a good thing all of a sudden? I thought that one of the reasons liberals hate George Bush so much is because he’s a devout Christian.

Tom   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:20 pm

“And now they shift their ignorance to Obama the great white hope.”

Seriously. Could any political party every put up a poorer leader than our current President? Republicans can never, ever, accuse anyone of being ignorant after voting that one into office.

julie   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:23 pm

There’s an incorrect statement on this board from a well-meaning but misinformed supporter. Barack Obama was NEVER a Muslim. Not even as a child. He lived in Indonesia but never prayed to Allah. He went to Catholic school in Indonesia for two years (but you don’t have to be Catholic to go to a Catholic school) and he went to a school affiliated with Islam for two years (but you didn’t have to be a Muslim to attend). For the facts about Barack Obama’s religion, visit his website, barackobama.com. All the facts there are cited to neutral news sources so you can see for yourself that Obama has NEVER been a Muslim and has attended the same Christian church in Chicago for 20 years.

Joel   March 3rd, 2008 - 1:25 pm

It’s a statistical fact that by 2065, 80% of the planet will be muslim. The US needs a President who can lead in a multicultural world.

dirty white boy   March 3rd, 2008 - 3:06 pm

I am less concerned about OB being Muslim than I puzzled by why is a follower and member of that whacko church he belongs to in Chicago. The minister is a bigot and racist and is so far outside mainstream christian theology to be laughable.

As far as I know.

Remember how proud Hillary was of her Jewish roots?

Kris   March 3rd, 2008 - 3:24 pm

The woman is incorrigible. I no longer give her the benefit of doubt. Her malicious behavior in this campaign makes me wonder how I could ever have so blindly supported the Clintons in the 90’s. She would be by far the worst thing that could happen to our country and the world, spawning deeper hopelessness, cynicism and apathy.

The “as far as I know” part of this is typical smarmy Hillary Clinton talk. How anyone in their right mind could want this pompous self serving piece of excrement in charge of the most just and powerful nation in the world is beyond me.

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 - 4:16 pm

Thank you Cindy at 4:41. I was waiting for someone to bring up the Obama / abortion issue. A committee under him successfully blocked a bill which would have ended the Illinois hospital practice of letting babies who survived abortion die unattended and untreated on gurneys in the hallway of the hospital. Whether or not he’s a Christian he’s going to have to answer big time for that one someday. I’m no big McCain fan but compared to the other possible choices it’s a no-brainer this year. Both Hillary and Obama are detestable.

Cindy   March 3rd, 2008 - 4:41 pm

Barry is a socialist. Barry is not a Christian regardless of what he says. No one can be a Christian and present a bill to the Illinois State legislature that allows abortion to the moment of breath and included a statement that if an abortion is performed on a viable baby and that baby survives no rescue efforts are to be made….in other words let the viable baby die. That was Barry’s bill.
He is anti-Semitic. He is pro islamic fascists.
The man is a fraud we will find out a closet muslim.

charlie   March 3rd, 2008 - 4:43 pm

Of course he’s not muslim,he goes to a church where his pastor preaches hate against white people.His pastor loves Louis Ferrikahn and you know how much Louis ferrrikahn likes jewish people and the white people.

Damn! people around the world must think Americans are dumb as hell. This is 2008 and we’re still arguing about lame stuff like this. Bush is supposed to following the teachings of Christ. I guess those teaches include starting unnecessary wars, lying to the American people, allowing your rich buddies to make billions of dollars off the war.Oh and the best one is torturing other human beings, yeah that’s real Christ like.

jimmyboy   March 3rd, 2008 - 5:12 pm

It does make me feel good as an American that the vast majority of people understand that being a member of the cult of Islam should be an immediate dis-qualifier for POTUS. There are many religions in this world with common beliefs, but it’s great that people realize that there is this ugly thing way off in the corner of radicalism and hate called Islam.
All you have to know about Islam was that it was created by a 54 YO man that married a six year old and had sex with her. Wouldn’t a true prophet and his God know that the near-future (and even those days) would consider that pedophilia?

Hillary Clinton will not rely on Bill Clinton when the going gets tough.

Hillary Clinton will not do anything possible – legal or not – to win a primary, let alone an election.

Hillary Clinton will not eventually lose and be humiliated because she thought Americans loved anything Clinton.

As far as I know.

Rev. Jack   March 3rd, 2008 - 5:36 pm

As far as Hillary goes- what do you expect from Mrs. Bubba? And for you Neocons screaming about Obama’s supposed ties to the Middle East- go look up which infamous Saudi family funded George W. Bush’s oil company back in the day. Wanna know why this administration STILL hasn’t found the man responsible for 9-11? Follow the money, people.

The U.S. launched an airstrike Monday on a Somali town held by Islamic extremists to go after a group of terrorist suspects, U.S. defense officials said.

Just last week didn’t we see a picture of the Kenyan wearing a Somali tribal outfit…

Folks, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck then it’s a Muslim wannabe terrorist.

I can’t imagine electing him as President all because of WHITE GUILT.

martin   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:11 pm

The interview was not 60 Minute’s best. Kroft should have pursued her answer, “not that I know”. I would have asked “is the Hillary campaign behind the tasteless emails currently flooding Ohio?” Then when she answered, “not that I know”…we’d know!
Do we really want the Clinton’s back in the White House? Don’t they represent exactly what we do not like about Washington politics?
I have a terrible knot in my stomach… knot again!

barbara   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:12 pm

All of this has come from the Dems themselves, from Bob Kerrey and Clinton’s advisors – NOT from the right. It was the left who put it out and kept it out that Obama was a Muslim.
Obama DOES have Muslim roots – his father and step father were Muslims and in that faith, if your father is a Muslim you are considered to be one, too. In Islam “takkiya” is lying or dissembling to non-Muslims which is permitted – so Obama may be a Muslim who is dissembling, or he may be a member of a radical and racist “Christian” church. Either way I’m not comfortable with him as Commander in Chief.

Rev. Jack   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:12 pm

Call me names if you like- but facts are facts and Bin Laden’s daddy was a business partner to W. Look it up before you go name calling. Arbusto Oil based out of Midland Texas. Look it up. I dare you.

This is do or die. All Repubs in Ohio and Texas need to vote for Hillary.

On the other hand, we can’t fight the Anti-Christ. I wonder about Obama.

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:18 pm

facts is facts. what does your daddy’s dealing have to do with you?

Devs   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:24 pm

I could care less if Obama was a Muslim. Although his getting trouble in Kenya for supporting a “corrupt” cousin’s campaign does concern me as even Kenya complained to the State Department.

Even more so is that I don’t really know the man. CTV, Canadian television said Obama’s people had a meeting saying all the stuff Obama has said about NAFTA is just political rhetoric. And also this kind of thing: http://scherblog.wordpress.com/2008/02/03/obama-takes-money-from-largest-us-nuclear-company/

And Rezko, who ever he is and whatever he’s done.

Plus Obama’s church doesn’t appear to be very inclusive nor do the words of his “spiritual mentor”. Why keep his “spiritual mentor” in hiding? And if you look at the about page at http://www.tucc.org, what does it mean that they are committed to their “native land” Africa and not America? For a man whose speeches ask us to become united, why for 20 years go to a church that doesn’t represent mainstream America? Is it a two way street or a one way street? Just more political rhetoric to be elected. Why the secrecy?

A lot of unanswered questions I think the Republicans will bring up….the Press sure hasn’t. Anyone else and these things would be front page news and on every station, but not for the Media Darling. Just what are we getting ourselves into>

Valerie Cooper   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:29 pm

I must have missed something. What’s wrong with being Muslim? I thought we were a nation founded on freedom of religion. I thought we were a nation great because of it’s embracing of people independent of religion or cultural heritage. Barack Obama embodies that sentiment in both his personal history and his beliefs. He defies stereotyping and that bugs the intolerant folks, of which this country has way too many. By the way, Obama’s Christian, it that helps.

Rev. Jack   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:32 pm

By the same token, what does the name Barak’s daddy gave him have to do w/ Barak?

Sometimes it helps to play the nut-case to make the broader point. I withdraw my implications and admit that Osama Bin Laden has nothing to do w/ Arbusto or George W Bush.

And Barak Obama’s name from birth has nothing to do with what the man now believes.

Obama is a member of the United Churches of Christ. That denomination is so liberal, it hardly counts as Christian. The UCC certainly is no place a self-respecting Muslim would worship.

All this “he must be muslim because of his name” crap is just as stupid as the whole “911 was an inside job and Arbusto proves it” crap. It’s all stupid fear mongering. And it doesn’t matter if it’s Alex Jones’ fear-mongering or Clinton’s fear-mongering. It is all crap.

If you don’t like Obama, fine. I’m not sure I do either. But attack the man for his politics, not his name.

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:39 pm

I care if he’s a Muslim, if not for the simple reason he would be a lier if he really is a Muslim. Since he denies being a Muslim afterall. Geez some folks are so into this guy that they would jump over a cliff for him. It’s scary that we have so many simple-minded people that vote.

Plus Valerie one has to consider that not all Muslims are terrorist but all terrorists are Muslim.

john   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:41 pm

Chris   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:42 pm

OK, I can’t stand Hillary with every fibre of my being, but the title of this article is horribly misleading and unfair to her. The title implies that she was trying to give a “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” affirmation to the rumor that Sen. Obama is a Muslim. Watching the video, she refutes that time and time again. The “journalists” waited until she made a slip that could be misconstrued and then screamed, “Gotcha!”

More hack journalism from a hack industry.

Al   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:54 pm

Hillary is just proving the pundits right more and more every day. They said she was too polarizing to win a general election, and she’s proving that assessment right now. Look at the divisions she’s causing just in the democratic party. What with her constantly trying to redefine loss. Every time she loses a state primary or caucus she tries to diminish it’s importance. Well, someone needs to tell her that in order to win the general election a candididate has to win several of those “small states” as well. This is exactly why her favorability ratings are so low. They said she was too polarizing to win a general election, and they were right. Due to her tactics, a significant percentage of people will probably vote not for McCain but against her if even if she does win the candidate race

Popcorn   March 3rd, 2008 - 6:54 pm

AS usual, Billery’s tricks are at it again. Wait until tomorrow and see what other filth and lies she throws out about Obama. You people who think Billery is going to work for you, think again. She’s only working for herself and her husband’s legacy. She didn’t get those jobs she promised in New York, in fact jobs were lost under Senator Clinton. Don’t believe her lies!

[...] CLINTON DOESN’T BELIEVE OBAMA IS A MUSLIM ‘AS FAR AS I KNOW’  [...]

johnny   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:05 pm

barack hussein obama was raised as a muslim and educated in the madras of Indonesia.
As a candidate he lies about being a muslim because he knows he won’t be able to win the general election.

He’s likely to win the demo nomination because to democrats it’s: Christian and Mormon – bad; muslim – good.

He “claims” to be a Christian now. But the United Church of Christ is not a Christian Church. Don’t let yourself be fooled by something that adds the word Christian to thier name. That is all this radical black political organization has done.

In the UCC people are allowed to keep thier muslim “faith”. Here at home the UCC and a muslim group share a building and even services sometimes.

johnny   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:17 pm

One more thing:

The koran teaches that it is perfectly acceptibale for a muslim to lie, cheat and even steal if it will help advance islam or the result will be positive for islam.

Lying in order to advance islam is not even considered to be lying. So when barrack hussein obama says “I am not a muslim, I am a Christian”, in the muslim mind he is not really lying.

In this way, he’s really no different than the clintons. A lie is a truth and the truth is a lie.

Do we really want a person like this in any office? We also have keith ellison in office who took his oath with his hand on the koran – the book that gives him the authority to lie, cheat and steal. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Keep in mind, you get the government you deserve. These are the people we are at WAR with. And other muslim countries lie to us and say they are on our side at the same time they are funding more terrorism and using oil as an economic weapon against us. Putting muslims in positions of power here is national suicide. barack hussein obama will ALWAYS take the side of our muslim enemies. He is not an American – he is a muslim. The teachings of the koran make it impossible to be both a muslim and american – as there is no such thing as freedom in islam.

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:20 pm

The real question is if Obama is a Muslim and he’s lying about it then why does he want to be president?

The election of Obama might turn out to be a disaster for America. Is it worth the risk?

At least with McCain we know what we are getting…

Jim   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:21 pm

If Obama lays claim to Christian faith, then I must accept and love him as a brother until he proves otherwise to me. We don’t get to decide who is and who is not worthy of receiving God’s grace.

Sure, the UCC it out there and some of it’s teachings are in need of serious rebuke. That’s not a matter for a political campaign.

None of this means I have to vote for the guy. It just means that I have to accept his confession of faith as valid and accept him as a brother. When we are judging his spiritual life, we had all better be darned sure we have our own house in order first.

roughrider   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:22 pm

Hillary’s self-induldgent obssession with power will snatch defeat from the jaws of the democrat party victory I guarantee it. I like how she keeps the “Muslim” door slightly ajar. How about we keep the Beotch door open as well?

Brad   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:33 pm

I see that Ahmadinejad wants the US out of Iraq. Hmmm……. I didn’t know he was running on the democrat ticket for POTUS??? Interesting…..

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 7:45 pm

“as far as I know”… reveals the true Hillary. I was thinking she would be ok, if she won the election… but now I see the Clintons for who they really are. I was thinking this muslim thing was being placed out there by the GOP sub groups, but now I see it is the Clintons showing there true moral values. Hillary has no boundaries when it comes to winning this race. Shame on you, Hillary. McClain would be better than you.

Rich   March 3rd, 2008 - 8:43 pm

I can’t see why everyone is getting upset about Hillary giving an honest answer. After all, he does have support from an extremist muslim leader and the pastor of his Obama’s church has praised same muslim leader. I think we democrats are objective enough to not judge on religion, race, or sex. Enough with the childish outrage.

Rover   March 3rd, 2008 - 8:55 pm

I think today, the last full day of Hillery’s campaign, can simply be referred to as “Hillery’s last stand”. 48 hours from now, her backside will have more arrows sticking out of it than Custer’s did.

She will not try again against President Obama in 2012 and she will be long gone by 2016. So, expect anything out of her today. As the song goes…

“It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.”…

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 8:57 pm

Hey Shirley if you NOW “see the Clintons for who the really are” then I guess the rightwing conspiracy was phony and Bill really did lie under oath, and the missing billing records weren’t really missing.

Funny how now so many eyes are opening up now. I guess you fools that supported the Cinton’s (and now don’t) had your head in the sand for about the last 15 years! What a bunch or morons.

And now they shift their ignorance to Obama the great white hope.

Jeff Renshaw   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:12 pm

I do not care much for Obama or Clinton and I am also not Muslim, but this is just sad.

Since when is it a crime to be Muslim? Our country was invented by people who came here in order to escape religious persecution, and here we go persecuting someone because they may be a Muslim!

I feel bad for Obama that he has to defend his religious point of view – whatever it is. And I feel bad for Clinton that she has to address questions about whether Obama is Muslim. Who gives a damn!

At some point somebody needs to ask these two candidates serious questions about policy.

Whogivesacrap   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:13 pm

I don’t care what his religion is, I just want him to stand up and tell the truth. His luggage is starting to show some dirty laundry.

He is a bit to “thin skinned” for me to vote him in as president. That would scare the crap outta me.

Wow, things must be pretty dismal for the Republicans when they have to send imbeciles like KRAMER to try and get votes on democratic threads. Hey Kramer, we might be split about whether Hillary or Obama should be our candidate, but we’re united in our rejection of the flip flopping, now for tax cuts for the rich/ was against tax cuts for the rich (until party big wigs told me what to think) John McCain. The republicans have worn out their welcome, you must feel pretty threatened to have been so caught up in a democratic squabble. Your time would be better spent helping John Mccain prepare a concessionary speech for November! White House!

Kramer   March 3rd, 2008 - 9:49 pm

Rev Billy   March 3rd, 2008 - 10:21 pm

HUSSEIN OBAMA is not at this time a practicing Muslim althought earlier in his childhood he was. Now he is a member of a MILITANT white hating racist church whose pastor if he was white would be universally called a white surpremist by the media. However it looks like the leftist media is giving him a pass until the RNC unload on him in the late summer/fall when they wont be able to ignore it.

Jameel   March 3rd, 2008 - 10:40 pm

Isn’t the issue why being Muslim or associated with Muslims is an insult? Has the US become so hateful and dismissive that being Muslim is now viewed as a horrid character flaw? How rascist is that?

He is a Muslim. You cannot leave Islam anymore than you can leave the Mafia. Anyone who was raised a Muslim and leaves the church must be killed under Sharia Law. Period. They don’t do anything about Barrack because they KNOW his Christianity is a complete fake. http://www.moronpolitics.com

Hey John ROMANO! I guess I can then assume that you are in the MAFIA based on your Italian last name, right?

Yea, so. I take my name in pride and am not embarrassed about my heritage – wonder why is Barry?

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY! I originally campaigned for her in Texas and am embarrassed that I did. Her tactics are Rovean and consistently below the belt. As far as ethics go she has so much in common with Bush. I made campaign calls for her and most people I spoke to disliked her immensely. I have switched sides and am now campaigning for Obama. The atmosphere of his campaign from the inside out is overwhelmingly more positive. Clinton is far to wrapped up in her ego to see how her mess of a campaign damaging her future in politics.

Sharia? That’s just the kind of ignorant hate inspiring answer that goes hand in hand with anti-Muslim sentiment. Sharia Law is not a single entity, like the Napoleonic Code or the Bill of Rights…it is a collection of over a thousand years of Islamic jurisprudence arguments. Islam is in the Talmudic tradition, i.e. there is no right or wrong definite answer nor a single codification. What neo-cons and unfortunately the media of the US does is to conflate Taliban insanity with Sharia law…it is not. Apostasy is not punishable by death in all but say Ibn Taymiyya’s or Ibn Wahhab’s interpretation. Learn something before you preach about it.

Jameel

Muslim countries don’t think kindly of Muslims that become Christian. Muslims that convert are killed, children taken away, lose jobs, get kicked out of their homes. These people are severely persecuted.

Muslims are barbaric and full of hate. The Koran speaks only of hate and prejudice, nothing about love. It’s sad and pathetic!

You guys are the reason I rationalize that I am not completely wasting my time reading thru all of these silly, ignorant, and many times simply hate filled posts on these forums. Well said guys. Keep spreading the truth and wit.

Re: moronpolitics March 3rd, 2008 – 10:46 pm, ‘They don’t do anything about Barrack because they KNOW his Christianity is a complete fake. http://www.moronpolitics.com‘, I did not go to your website, but how do you know your version of Christianity is not fake? Which cChristianity do you belong to?

Enough of the Clintons…….today I’ve received two phone calls reminding me to vote and asking, after my saying we had already voted absentee, who I had voted for.

We do not need more Clintons, we do not want more Clintons, we do not need a Clinton dynasty (which they are accusing the Bushes of trying to establish) and do not admire nor appreciate the Clintons.

Please, enough is enough. Let’s get on with this election and get it over with. Every four years it is the same old rhetoric…..and nothing ever changes. We are way past the point of no return.

It is obvious that Obama is a Muslim/Muslim Sympathizer. Unfortunatly, Obummer’s group, plus a few people with “trailer trash” mentality, are hanging onto “false” hope and irrational expectations. Most intelligent voters now fully realize that this rote politican has no clothes and has become a “JOKE”. Even the crackpots at MSNBC News seem to be changing their biased reporting–a little bit. Poor old Chris Matthews and the real dumb commentator Chuck Todd are still sucking up to this “great” candidate–Barrack Hussein Obama.

Patrick   March 4th, 2008 - 4:48 am

Kramer, you mouth-breathing planarian– I suppose it really is too much to ask someone so easily spoon-fed the paranoid pablum put out by terrified white Christian isolationists to perhaps notice even the NAME of the person they’re trying to school about Islam? The name Jameel is an Arabic name that means “Handsome”. Now– Does this mean that Jameel is, himself a handsome Muslim? He might be. Then again, he might be a handsome Christian Arab. A handsome athiest? Maybe he’s a handsome Irish-Catholic theological studies professor who, in the late 60’s, ran away to join the Black Panthers, only to be turned away for not being black? For all we know he’s a bored Japanese housewife, having fun with a fake identity. But I’m going to bet, based on his erudite reading of the tenets of various Islamic sects, that Jameel is indeed a well-educated, progressive, and tolerant man of Middle-Eastern heritage who knows quite a bit more about the many differences WITHIN Islamic tradition– some of which are far greater than the difference BETWEEN the traditions of Islam and other faiths– than you do, Kramer.

Hillary is not the anti-christ — as far as I know.

[...] in a further vicious spiteful drive to dominate the Democratic party. Stating that “Obama isn’t a Muslim, as far as I know” isn’t pushing the matter aside, its fanning the flames. It is preaching to the very worst [...]

Thom   March 4th, 2008 - 2:29 pm

Mad Max, do you really think Hillary got that from the Republicans? :-) Really now, no one else is going to believe such a foolish statement so don’t fool yourself. Obama has enough faults to sink him. As for religion, what would be wrong if he was Muslim, are you an islamophobe? His “Christian’ faith isn’t even Christian so they should just forget trying to gain any ground on religion and go on pure social programs, sink, hopefully, or swim.

[...] See Hillary on 60 minuets [...]

[...] Now (to 60 minutes, on whether Barack Obama is a Muslim): No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know. [...]

[...] That is the very model of a half-hearted denial. It’s exactly the same trick of denying the rumor while subtly insinuating the rumor may be true that Hillary Clinton pulled on 60 Minutes. [...]
