    Regardless of these false emails I still won't vote for him. The truth is I wouldn't have voted for him anyways because my decision lies with his opinion on other matters such as homosexual marriage and pulling out troops from Iraq in an extremely short amount of time. I agree that there are changes that need to be made, but I'm afraid that Obama might have too many changes in his agenda.

    No matter how you look at it, he has a Muslim background and attends a church that is obviously extremist. I am very hesitant about endorsing a person with these influences no matter how charismatic he appears. These claims were around long before they were ascribed to the Clintons. Apparently, Obama's supporters seek to place blame on his opponents since he has no record to support his views. I agree that he needs to show a plan rather than broad statements that appeal to the uneducated masses.

    Lies, lies and more lies...how easily misled people are - can't they feel when a person is sincere, don't they see the true character of a person, hear it in his voice, feel how deep his feelings lie with hope to improve our country and make us proud again....my hope lies in Barack Obama and I can't wait to vote for him!!!

    Aprox 3 months ago I informed CNN and Senator Obama's email site that there was a slanderous email being forwarded accusing Obama of being MUSLIM and also of refusing to PLEDGE THE ALLEGIANCE TO OUR FLAG....I knew it was not true and deleted each slanderous and treacherous email. I have been an admirer of Obama since the first I heard him speak...I have faith in him that I have never found in other politicians and I have been a registered voter for many years. He instills a hope I have never felt and I will definitely vote for the man and trust him whole heartedly and I am a white woman.

    After 9/11 Muslims have been discriminated against. Not all Muslims want to destroy America. Why would an American Muslim destroy America? Get your facts straight people. There are a lot of Muslim Americans in American and if they wanted to they could be suicide bombers too but guess what? They aren't because they love America and the only reason they came to American is to have a better life and not kill people.

    God Bless you all. The truth has become so muddled and muddied by those of good intentions and devisive intentions, those who have fictionalized Obama's heritage, religion, politics, values and integrity both for the better and for the worse. Rather than read this crap, research his history, his politics, values and religion and make an informed decision. You obviously didn't do that over the last 2 elections. If you had, we wouldn't have ended up with the worst Presidency in US history.

    The true test of America will be in this election. Will Obama win or lose on his own merits? Or on slanderous lies perpetrated by those with their own agenda. As far as the church that he goes to, he is not responsible for the creed posted by the church he attends, and the pastor is not running for president. I've never attended the church so I don't know what message is being preached. But growing up in the south, I was a member of a church that belongs to the United Church of Christ. They were very active in civil rights at that time and were targeted by segregationist with violence. Because they have a commitment to Africa does not mean that there is no commitment to America or even their surrounding neighborhood. I only wish we would have been this thorough scrutinizing Bush's allege drug use in his youth before he was given eight years to get our country in its present condition.

    It is truly sad to read such a vehement racist tirade as the ones posted by John Frost. It is that kind of rhetoric which fuels so-called super patriots, who love their country but hate 90% of the people who live in it, to commit acts of violence against anyone who doesn't fit the archetype of who they deem acceptable as a leader. "THE NEGRO'S INTIMIDATION MUST NOT BE TOLERATED IN OUR CIVILIZATION!! " This could easily translate as "PUT THEM *** BACK IN THEIR PLACE!! " Yes Mr. Frost we've heard your message loud and clear. Nice little religious misinformation twist in there too I see. It's people like you that are the bane of our great nation. You cater to the lowest of human instincts, that of hatred and mistrust. I am Christian and Jesus' message was one of truth and love not half truths and fear baiting. Shame on you.

    I am very glad that these things have come out as I have received many such e-mails, espically about the church he belongs to. I do think they are a little on the racist side, but then so are a lot of people.His living in indonesia and for a short time learning about the Muslim way of thinking may help him as a preident. because a person goes to a lot of different religions doesn't make them bad but gibes them a greater understanding of others. We as Americans are a mealting pot of different cultures and religons. Our ansisters came from many different countries, bringing with them part of their culture. This is where it needs to end and first allegience belong to our country the United States. That is the only thing I find wrong with the church he belongs to as they are calling Africa their Mother country. . This is where I stand. I do not like what Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Clinton are doing nor the smears they are letting their people do. If she was the only person running for president I would do a write in. She tried to run the country when her husband was in office as Govenor and again as President , and didn't do a very good job.Thank God I live in America where I can voice my thoughts. Obama has my vote

    As a black women, I am an "American" first. I do believe that Obama need to come clean and respond truthfully about rumor that he was participating actively in Muslin activities during the first 10 years of his life. As american, we need to know if Barack husein obama did really attend a muslim school. Ask Mitt Romney what he must felt about about questions about his religion. Barack Hussein Obama is not immuned. Martin Luther King did not have a dream for blacks only. He had a dream that everyone Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Hindian as well as Catholics, Mormons, Pencotists, Evangelical Christians, Muslin, Buddhists, Hindu, Scientologists, as well as women and men have the same right, be on the same field. Nobody should vote for any candidate on the basis of race or gender, or religion. This is not the american way and certainly, not Dr King's way!

      Thank God for a sane person!...Why don't you run for president? I'll vote for you and I'm a white male who spent time in the millitay during Viet Nam...I haven't seen a lot to pick from with the current gorup of candidates..They all seem to flip-flop on issues..They agree with whom ever they are in the company of.

  • Posted By: denmill @ 01/21/2008 1:18:06 PM

    You right an American of Muslim faith should not be prevented to be president. Go tell the same thing to Mitt Romney about his Mormon Faith. The Media and all of you hypocrites out there did slam his character. Last time I read about mormon people there are very pro America contrairely to Barack Husein Obama Trinity United Church that is UNASHAMEDLY BLACK and NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMITTED to AFRICA (Not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA). No wonder that OBAMA is a hero among the muslims in KENYA, Africa.

      Well, well, well, denmill, perhaps before you defend Romney and his church, you should read the Mormon history as it relates to Black people:

      http://i4m.com/think/comments/mormon-racism.htm

      which is from their "bible" the Book of Mormon. As for being "committed to Africa, there are many of us out here who are committed to Africa in the sense of helping it improve, stopping the genocide, and turning around all the bad left by the white colonoialists. That does not make us any less American, nor any less loyal to our own country, the US of A.
      As for general behavior, considering the history of our country and our European allies, I think I can safely say that whites have always been much nastier to those of African descent than those of African descent have been to whites. Of the two, Obama is certainly the better candidate. Romney is pathetic.

      As for the e-mails, they are totally vile. It is this sort of thing that gets us to voting for the lesser of two evils on election day. Actually, Obama is as American as it gets, mixed raced, divorced parents, difficult time as a teenager but found his way, got educated, did very well in school, and went to work, and has worked to improve situations wherever he has been . Sounds like a great example of what an American do, when making a real effort.

    • Posted By: denmill @ 01/21/2008 1:30:09 PM

      VOTE BARACK HUSEIN OBAMA AS OUR NEW SPIRITUAL LEADER SO THAT WE CAN ONCE HOLD HANDS WITHOUT REAR ( INFIDELS AND MUSLIM EXTREMISTS). VOTE HILLARY CLINTON AS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE FREE WORLD SO THAT WE ALL CAN BE FREE AGAIN LEGAL RESIDENTS, US CITIZENS AND ILLEGAL ALIENS). HOORAY! CHANGE AMERICA SO THAT WE ALL CAN BE SAVED!

    Does anyone notice how bigoted it is to say that an American of muslim faith shouldn't be president. Obviously Obama is Christian, but so what if he wasn't? Patriotism does not depend on your faith!!!

    • Posted By: denmill @ 01/21/2008 1:08:14 PM

      Great! Why have the media did not give Mitt Romney a brake about his Mormon Religion. No free pass for Barack Husein Obama. No affirmative action on this one.

  • Posted By: amypoz @ 01/21/2008 1:01:13 PM

    I received the e-mail claiming Obama is a radical Muslim. I wrote back stating it was false and I attached Barack's bio from his website which includes information about his affiliation with a Christian church. I also made a contribution to his campaign as my small way of righting the wrong I feel is being committed against him. I ask that everyone who receives this e-mail do the same.

    Those of you who haven't received the e-mail, please understand that it doesn't just suggest Muslim influence but rather claims radical terroist ties. It's a very slimy trick. I feel that Barack's exposure to Muslim people makes him more knowledgeable than most and therefore a better diplomat.

    Isn't it nice the Republicans never slime the Democrats? Wasn't it nice the Republicans spent 60 million to expose Bill Clinton's sex life? And wasn't it nice the Republicans saved us all that money and only spent 40 million checking out 9-11?

  • Posted By: fridans @ 01/21/2008 12:41:11 PM

    Isn't it nice that the Republican party never slimes the Democrats? Wasn't it nice of the Republican Party to spend 60 million checking out Bill Clinton's sex life, but only spent 40 million checking out 9-11?

    I received the email twice from two different people. I returned it to both telling them that I found it to be offensive and incorrect. One sent it back to me saying the Obama shouldn't even be allowed to run.
    If this is the level of hate and ignorance that is reaching people, I shudder to think who the next President will be.

  • Posted By: jboerner5543 @ 01/21/2008 11:35:50 AM

    I received this e-mail twice. It came from two separate people and I must admit I was shocked at the level of error and hate in it. I returned it to both people explaining that I found it offensive.
