I didn't say anything about hating muslims. You use language like "leftist scum" in your post and say that doesn't insinuate a certain level of hatred? Was that a term of endearment?
quote:Oh, the old "context" excuse where you can state whatever you want and deflect criticism by pointing to some broader unseen "context". Accurate in some settings, but in a formal prepared statement that likely had the scrutiny of no less than a dozen writers and reviewers, the context argument is disingenuous.
You really aren't taking the original quote from the president in context.

Everyone has contributed to building the fabric of this democracy. I

In a direct way, we have Keith Ellison, a congressman, who is participating at one of the highest levels of our democracy. How is that not contributing?

The episode marked the beginning of our proud nautical history, and of the U.S. Marines as the fighting force they are today. So, I must agree that we may owe that feat to the Muslims.

The American President who said that was George W Bush.

The reason you have similar quotes from both of the Presidents we've had since 9/11 is because they realize that you have to make statements like this to cut down own the number of mouth breathers that think that all Muslims are terrorists.

Anyway, while I don't disagree with the overall sentiment,

Muslim members of our Armed Forces and of my administration are serving their fellow Americans with distinction, upholding our nation's ideals of liberty and justice in a world at peace."

quote:Fair enough, but Bush's statement gives praise and recognition while Obama's is outright lies, as written. He could have given respect without trying to rewrite history.

2003 Ramadan statement from the White House where Bush hosted eight iftar dinners. Un-wad your panties.
But he wasn't a Muslim Kenyan though.

He was a cocaine addicted military deserter with a double digit IQ

Bush did it too.
Are there any Obamabots out here with a smidgeon of creativity?

At one point in time Islam was progressive, and tolerant. Muslims and non-Muslims alike should pay more attention to history.

Always trying to herd the sheep, these people.

It'd be great to have a president who didn't give a single frick about your, mine, or anyone else's religion.

You mean that coordinated attack led by dozens of Muslim infantrymen?

That's casting out a bunch of heritage and culture.
FTR, I have zero problem with an outreach to US Muslims. Quite the opposite really.
