    This is still a falsehood, a fib, a whopper and a lie.

    I can speak for myself when I say that I don't care if he is a Muslim. I do care that people tell lies about him in an attempt to disctract the lemmings in this country who are scared of the Muslim bogeyman.

    It's the same reason Cindy McCain refuses to divulge her tax records: Because she knows the income reported from sales of her sex tape will offend the holy rollers. C'mon people! It's just sex. What's the big deal?

    OK, so I wasn't missing something -- well just the bigotry behind the concept that if a guy is a muslim he must be a terrorist......

    The issue is he's tried to downplay a fact of his upbringing: his Muslim ties. I'm not saying he's a Muslim. It's a really simple fact of his past that is inconsequential, yet human nature suggests that if you - I'll use a lighter description - play with the truth with small things, how would you be with larger things? You've got a president now who you accuse of misrepresenting the truth on a larger issue, never mind the stack of evidence that was built up before he grabbed him and gave it a once-over.

    Let me ask you this. I was in a church youth group in junior high for the girls and the ski trips. Didn't believe in it then, don't believe in it now. Am I playing with the truth if I say I have no Christian ties?

    Potentially.

    Well that's the rumor. I read it on the Internets so it must be true.

    Which is unfortunate, because since only the idiots using the Muslim religion as an excuse to kill are far outweighed by number the retards in this country who will believe the story.
