But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

Right-wing desperation

This got e-mailed today to me and I thought it showed just how desperate some people on the right are willing to go to discredit Barack Obama. The article is by a conservative blogger named Debbie Schlussel. In the article she makes a few points about why she thinks we should not trust Obama:

1. His middle name, Hussein, comes from his father. His father is Muslim. In Muslim law, if your father is Muslim so are you, no matter what you say. Therefore, we can't trust him because, and I quote "once a Muslim, always a Muslim."

2. He went to a Muslim school for 2 years while living in Indonesia.

3. Obama has drawn a closer connection to his Kenyan heritage, where his father (the Muslim) is from. Although Kenya is mostly Christian, there is a growing Islamic population that has used violence against Christians. Therefore we can't trust Obama.

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
