From the September 2 White House Press Briefing:

I agree with the premise of your statement, but honestly, what person, no matter how intelligent, sociable, experienced, charismatic, handsome, honorable of a candidate with a squeaky-clean past would have even a MICROSCOPIC chance of being elected president in this day and age if they were atheist, Buddhist, Islamic, Hindu or any other non-Christian religion (or lack-there-of)?
And Beck has the cajones to claim Christian religious civil rights are in danger?!?
Even if someone isn't Christian, they have to claim they are one to get anywhere politically in this country. THAT is the real "religious civil rights" violation Becky boy.
You can keep arguing with me, but you obviously don't get the point.
*facepalm*
Nevermind.
*golf clap*
Amen to that.
Well, then they'd think he's a Jehovah's Witness. :)

Please stop embarrassing yourself with talking points. Have some self respect.
Besides, it's Rasmussen.
And YOU'RE the arbiter of what constitutes "mainstream Christianity" due to . . . ??
Of course -- it's just like the birther thing.
First they say, "he wasn't born in the US" -- then, he presents his birth certificate.
Then, they say, "it's fake" -- then, PolitiFact proved it was.
Then they say, "it's not that he wasn't a citizen, it's that his mother wasn't"
And on and on . . .
Interesting factoid: Glennbeck Nation rhymes (sort of) with Redneck Nation.
Cue the right wing response: "so now we're supposed to believe Robert Gibbs since he said it? If it's true, why didn't the President say it?"
As the saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day . . .
So, squacks is like a single page of those calendars, right every few months....

Guess that pretty much blows away any lingering thought of him being a Muslim, don't it Seahags?
(their system has all these built in traps)
Your point?
Only wingnut neoKKKons like them have the ability to be "conherent" -- 'cause they're definitely not "coherent" . . .
Interesting dismissal of Beck.
I still have a problem with the virgin birth, resurrection and the part where I should think less of all other religions.
LEAVE IT ALONE ALREADY. All they are doing is giving the right soundbites. Good Grief.
Personally, I don't like what he said in those snippets of video, but I cannot pass judgment on him based on those clips, nor can I pass judgment on the people who attended his services based on those snippets of video.
To the church? So, you studied under Wright? So, you hate white people? AHHHHHHHH!!!!
He also never claimed that he invented the internet. See, that's what happens when you get all of your information from the internet . . . you end up looking foolish.
Really, jms . . . you just keep making yourself look silly with your talking points.
Regardless, Al Gore is WAY off topic.
Hey: Did you know Obama the "white-hating racist" was born in Kenya? It's true--no need to check it out any further. Just run with it.
Created vs invented, really?
Internet of Lies
To New Frontier:
I've gotta admire you; you tried, you made a good-faith effort to educate the troll . . .
But, as the above quote confirms, once a teabagging wingnut has latched onto a talking point -- whether it's "Clinton dodged the draft", "Obama is a Muslim", or "Gore invented the internet" -- they're like a rabid dog with a bone, and NO amount of proof or facts will make them let go . . .
Wow. This just keeps getting better. Please, continue jms. You are hilarious. I am going to assume you are doing satire at this point.
No, Virginia, There Is No Obama/Kagan Connection
Prior to this event, there was no publicly available network with a set of common communication protocols. Instead there were many private networks with incompatible protocols as well as a select few government-owned networks such as ARPANET.
If Al Gore had not stepped forward it's likely you would still be using a low speed dial-up modem over your Baby Bell System phone line with AOL. The Bell Telco monopoly was a powerful force for statis.
Again, that's according to -- who??
Black Liberation Theology may be a fringe form of Christianity but it most certainly is not mainstream.
