Exactly. And probably more so for his actions than for his views. If Rudi calls the Vatican on that hotline, the Pope might hang up on him!</p>
<p>
That gave me a chuckle. Who knows if most Americans feel as you do, Dorothy, & will view that multi-cultural background as big plus. If that’s the case, how much do you want to bet that Hillary digs up a great-Aunt wearing a burka? To nicely complement that Jewish grandfather.</p>
<p>
Words of wisdom, there. You could be spinning as much as Chavez, for all I know, alwaysamom. And until I follow your words of wisdom, I won’t know.</p>
<p>I used the review to discount mini’s assertion that Obama “never left his mother’s side,” which is wrong, based on the review and the book, apparently. </p>
<p>As for casting aspersions, is that a joke? Have you gone missing on the threads when GWB’s “born again” beliefs and intended theocratic takeover have been endlessly discussed? Giuliani’s Catholicism is given a pass by the left, but if his Catholic views were aligned with the Vatican, are you kidding me that they wouldn’t be discussed by some prominent posters here? The same goes for Romney’s Mormonism. However, whether we think Obama’s familial and educational relationship to Muslim is a good thing or a bad thing, it is off limits. To claim otherwise is being disingenuous.</p>
<p>(I’ve already had one poster here assert that the reason I’m leaning toward Giuliani is because he took a stand against a blasphemous anti-Catholic piece of artwork years ago in NYC. I think that even though he is liberal on social issues, there are still people who will be wary of his Catholic roots. And it will not be off limits to discuss it, either.)</p>
<p>Okay, DPX, I saw umbrage over deliberate mis-statements about Obama’s background, and lots of umbrage over baseless charges of him lying or hiding facts.</p>
<p>In what way is umbrage over truth-twisting and character-smearing bigotry? Sorry, still not at all clear.</p>
<p>HH, I have no idea to what you are referring in paragraph 3 of post #104. Did I cast aspersions, or make a joke?</p>
<p>SS,</p>
<p>I feel quite confident that such memorabilia as the sepia-tinted burka is not being dug-up; but rather that it has already been dug-up, rated and filed away in an appropriately political fashion.</p>
<p>There will be a steady stream of such historical tib-bits released over the next two years…</p>
<p>…by compassionate-liberals and multiculturalists like HRH Clinton, John–“I don’t hate <em>all</em> Catholics”–Edwards, and the rest of the multicultural mafia to the left.</p>
<p>Garland,
do you mean this mis-statment,
or do you have a personal favorite?</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>No, I was replying to garland in that paragraph.</p>
<p>Wow, DPX, you’re right. Whoever made that inflammatory statement was definitely doing so to cast aspersions on OBama’s character, just like all those pieces of blogotrash it was in reponse to. Let’s check if he spent the weekend once camping with a Boy Scout troop, too; that would really make the statement of growing up in his mother’s care really, really erroneous.</p>
<p>Stop changing the subject to avoid answering my inquiry as to who took umbrage at Obama’s religion. I keep looking in vain for evidence of those bigotry claims you keep flagrantly flinging around.</p>
