Oh no, not this BS again. Are they really going to infer that President Obama is a Muslim again? Come on people, at least for the respect for the office of the President of the United States of America, do not bring this garbage up again.
Everyone is always welcome on my seeds, I will try recommend everyone's post for taking their time to do so, and I won't delete anyone. Please stay respectful of one another. Please watch your language.

Jack,
I understand what you are saying, but she just so happened to say the common lie about the President of the United States. I think that it was intentional and even the calling back in was intention to make it look like she didn't do it on purpose. It is getting something put into voters minds and later retract it, but it got out there.
Have a good day.

I do not disagree with you I just wanted to point out that she was willing to make amends for what she said on the air.

This was a calculated move, including the apology, it gets the message out there that they want.

I once said that Rick Santorum was a bigoted, socially-backward, second-tier sweater-vest catalog model but it turned out that I "had misspoke."
- 9 votes
Yeah...right. Santorum hasn't got the cojones to say it himself, so he has his spokesperson say it for him, then cover it up by saying they "misspoke" They know that they planted the seed into the brain of the ignorant who support them, and that is all they wanted to do. Santorum knows he could not say it and cover it up, so he threw his spokesperson under the bus instead. Obviously, she does not mind being a$$wipe for Santorum.

The Santorum campaign is loaded with "buzz words and dog whistles" that, whether by misspeak or intentional, gives license to homegrown radical elements to act on their pre-determined policies against segments of American society, validated by a presidential candidate...this is inherently dangerous to inocent people. This is just my opinion...but he's enabling a radical element of our society.

I think we have enough facts to move that statement from "opinion" to "proven."

Since we're all at home on this holiday...I'd like to keep this topic open.
Do you think it wise to expouse your personal beliefs as becoming policy on a national stage? I mean Santorum is talking about home-schooling?? as policy just because he home-schooled his own children. Does he think that gutting education down through the state level will keep America in competition with the rest of the world? How is this a rational message? Even though he may be the "not Romney" last one left...how can you get behind this rhetoric.

I don't think it is wise but I'm glad he is. Otherwise, people might not get the chance to see how truly backward and repugnant his views really are.

When I think of Obama and Muslims, I remember he waged war on three Islamic countries (simultaneously!) and signed the Patriot Act and Indefinite Detention... both infringements on basic human rights, and seriously folks, aimed at Muslims.
I know the Party is big on calling him one... and I do understand there are folks who actually fear such a thing, but I figure they're just paranoid from the Party propaganda.
It's got to be useful to the Party to have Obama be seen as an apologist/sympathizer towards Muslims... anything they do is useful to them... but sheesh... Should we really take the words of a Party member over the actions of a Party member?
Obama is not a Muslim... he's a member of our one monolithic political party.. the DemocratsandRepublicans... and being President, he's one of the top dozen members... no doubt.
His actions speak louder than words...unless you don't want them to...then they don't.
Simple

Don't forget getting Bin Laden and sending Predator drones after the rest of the al Quaidea leadership. Oh, and standing by while Quadaffi got stiffed.

Leaving the "radical islamic policies" comments aside, her preceding comment that "... there is a type of theological secularism when it comes to the global warmists in this country..." is just hilarious. So climate change isn't theologically secular? As an aside, since no environmental scientist that I've read lately uses the the term "global warming" but uses instead the more accurate "climate change", we're not "global warmists", we're "climate changists". Get it right, lady. ;D

#6 - Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:02 PM ESTThe whole GOP campaign seems to be about "buzz words and dog whistles", phrases that inspire instant emotional reactions...and without any further investigation, you might consider this rhetoric truthful...this is the definition of apathy...many "just don't care" feeling lost and desperate, where morals fly right out the window, and is replaced by an undefined anger towards someone or something.

Oh...by the way, if climate change is not theologically secular...how do you explain Noah and the great flood...now that was some kinda "climate change".

Marno,
I don't think Santorum's spokesperson knows that Santorum's faith believes that global warming/climate change is real and is caused by man. I don't think a lot of conservatives know about the Catholic faith. Heck, the Vatican has even said it is a sin to do nothing about it.
Have a good day.

I don't think that's true, but I agree that you can't be a 2012 GOP Presidential candidate and intelligent.
