The Stupidest Person In Canada

Judi Mcleod!. To her credit, if one didn’t know what a crackpot she is, one might mistake her site for the Onion. The two different spelling of Barack are especially entertaining. It appears they only got the correct spelling after reading the Insight article since the original article used only Barak.

And to think, crackpot Andy Martin is the guy who seems to have gotten this all started.

Ms. Mcleod is worried that Rockefeller funds the University of Chicago and that such ties to the Instructor of Con-Law are troubling. Also, you know, his parents met at a Rockefeller and Bill Gates funded institute. Of course, Bill Gates hadn’t even dropped out of Harvard then, but who cares.

But the money quote is when she asks if he isn’t a Manchurian candidate, but a Mohammedan Candidate.

But The man who receives his mail at 555 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington D.C., Capitol Hill is Madrassa-trained with the same kind of schooling as those infidel-hating kids in Pakistan.

Is this media darling in reality a brainwashed man?

Is Obama Osama Barack not really a Manchurian candidate but a classic Mohammedan Candidate?

As one CFP wag mused: “What happens when “our” President goes on a pilgrimage to Mecca after he discovers his roots?”

“Hillary doesn’t have to make like Maggie Thatcher to convince me. If I have to choose my poisons, I’d rather have Hillary. Better the devil you know.”

These kind of loons are getting crap on Fox News.

Andy Martin appears to have started the Obama/Muslim storyline on Free Republic. This is back from 2004. You remember Andy? The loon who ran for Senate and Governor and was sort of a resident in Florida too….

So from Andy Martin to Fox News. Perfect illustration of how Fox News works.

Fran Eaton

More angry letters are coming into The Star for the columns (Dec 31 and Jan 14) I’ve been writing about Barack Obama’s Chicago Southside church and his controversial pastor/spiritual advisor.

Yesterday I published on IR a letter I received from an Obama fan that called me “Satan” and “a dog” for questioning the black supremacy teachings at Obama’s church.

And yet, no black supremacy teaching has been identified at Obama’s church. Eaton has tried to claim that Afrocentrist Christianity is some sort of ideology of supremacy, but it is the concept that Western historical perspectives shouldn’t be used alone to understand history. That’s hardly a supremacist view–it’s more like a rounded view of history.

It’s really hard to tell how this idiot ever was given any public credence, but he has four questions to Barack Obama:

Barack Obama can end the controversy as well. His office seems to regard any questions of a possible earlier religious commitment as unfair. Not so. If he can answer the question as completely as Kennedy did, he deserves to move up to the next level.

Question No. 1: When you were a youth, you went to a Muslim school for several years. Did you ever embrace the Muslim faith then and later renounce it?

Question No. 2: Do Muslims have any reason to believe that you were once of their faith and have rejected it?

Question No. 3: Was there ever a time when people would have reason to believe you were a Muslim? The fact that Hussein is your middle name is one reason-the name of Mohammad’s grandson whose date of death is regarded as a high holy day in the Muslim faith.

Question No. 4: Do you realize that the Koran specifies that anyone who was a member of the Muslim faith and rejected should be done away with?

The famous internets has already dealt with the issue--as has Obama

Barack Obama’s father (also named Barack Obama) departed Hawaii, leaving his wife and son behind, when young Barack was only two years old. Four years later Barack’s mother, Anna, remarried (to an Indonesian oil company manager), and she and Barack moved to Djakarta, the capital and largest city of Indonesia. In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama did not provide any detail about the schools he attended in Indonesia, saying only that:

[My mother’s] initial efforts centered on education. Without the money to send me to the International School, where most of Djakarta’s foreign children went, she had arranged from the moment of our arrival to supplement my Indonesian schooling with lessons from a U.S. correspondence course.

Five days a week, she came into my room at four in the morning, force-fed me breakfast, and proceeded to teach me my English lessons for three hours before I left for school and she went to work.

In his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, Obama elaborated on his early schooling, explaining that he attended both Catholic and Muslim schools in Indonesia; not out of any particular religious affiliation, but because his mother wanted him to obtain the best education possible under the circumstances:

During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominantly Muslim school; in both cases, my mother was less concerned with me learning the catechism or puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin’s call to evening prayer than she was with whether I was properly learning my multiplication tables.

Confusingly, a 2004 Salon profile of Obama reverses the order in which he attended those schools:

When Obama was 6, Anna remarried. Her new husband was Lolo, an Indonesian oil company manager, and the new family moved to Djakarta, where Obama’s sister Maya was born.

After two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school, Obama was sent by his mother back to her parents’ home so that he could attend Hawaii’s esteemed Punahou Academy

So the reason Obama’s office thinks the questions are unfair is because there are only so many ways you can answer the same questions over and over again.
