Would everyone be questioning Barack Obama’s religious views if his name was Bill Smith?

by admin on February 25, 2010



Is all of the talk and fear-mongering concerning Obama from the right (and left) baseless? In other words, is it just because his name is Barack Hussein Obama or are there legitimate concerns that his ethnic and religious heritage would affect the country/presidency/national security?

Bill Smith would be completely vetted as I would expect that Barack Hussein Obama would be.

They are many reasons to not cast a vote for Barack…..his name and heritage are on the bottom of the list.

So, instead of bringing up his name….why don’t you tell us all the reasons to vote for him!

Well considering Bill Smith is close to Will Smith and they both kind of look alike and Will Smith is a Scientologist, then, yes, probably.

Exactly! 80% of Hillary supporters are only voting for her because she’s white.

No. People need to educate themselves enough to understand that your name does not and can not make you a Muslim. I don’t like Obama but I think it is gutless and immature to pick on him for something that isn’t true.

Oh they might, and no matter who it is, you can count on conservatives to mis-state it.

If that were the case no questions would have been raised

No! In addition; those who question his patriotism or Christian beliefs based upon his name, show the most bigotry. Ask the soldiers abroad; fighting next their fellow soldier without an Anglo -Saxon Sir Name.
