Obama’s Website Fights The Smears
By ThePresidentialCandidates.US on Jun 13, 2008 in Barack Obama
There have been many lies spread about Barack Obama during this campaign season in an attempt by his opponents of getting the election to be about anything but the real issues. The Republicans know that if this election is about the issues that Barack Obama will beat John McCain in a landslide as McCain represents a continuation of George W. Bush’s disastrous administration. In fact it’s often hard to tell McCain & Bush apart.
Because of these lies (or “smears”) the Obama campaign has opened up a new section on their website called “Fight The Smears” which corrects some of the most common falsehoods and encourages Obama supporters to spread the truth about them.
Senator Obama is NOT a Dirty Muslim!
“What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge,” says Mr. Obama, while denouncing statements of him being a Muslim as a smear. Why is the presidential candidate who claims to be religiously inclusive is treating the word “Muslim” as an insult? Apparently, it is OK for Mr. Obama to be associated with terrorists like William Ayers or racists like Jeremiah Wright, but God forbid somebody would call him a Muslim! No, he won’t stand for that kind of smear! We admit that most terrorists are Muslims, but most Muslims are not terrorists and the statement on Mr. Obama’s website is insulting to hundreds of millions of people.
How could a man who discards his family heritage in favor of political expediency be even considered for presidency of the United States? Where are all the so-called “Islamic civil rights groups” like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc. who are quick to defend every Islamic terrorist, but are silent when Muslims in general are being denigrated? Would Mr. Obama have the same reaction if someone claimed that he was raised as a Jew? We sincerely doubt that.
Muslims Against Sharia demand immediate removal of “SMEAR: Barack Obama is a Muslim” statement from the official Barack Obama’s website as well as an apology for giving the word “Muslim” a negative connotation.

I think that’s an exceedingly weak argument. Obama is not saying there’s anything wrong with being a Muslim. He’s saying he’s not a Muslim.
The fact is to many Americans being a Muslim is a negative thing and those trying to smear him know that.
You are trying to box him into a corner with your argument, it’s BS.
