Despite his denials, rumors
and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.)
is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that,
if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran,
rather than a Bible, as did Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the only
Muslim in Congress, when he was sworn in earlier this year.
Americans are so fuckin' predictable. In a January 3 post here at SistersTalk, I said:
A friend of mine stated last
week that if Obama wins the
Democratic nomination, his GOP
rival will do everything in his
power to associate Obama's name
(Obama Bin Laden, for example)
with extreme Muslim terrorists --
resorting to the same old worn-out
scare tactics Bush used in 2004. And
because Americans are gullible, they'll fall for it.
Come on my fellow Americans, we're lookin' pretty damn stupid to the rest of the world -- again.
Just as ridiculous rumors about Obama's association with Muslim terrorists appear on the Internet,
a rather curious thing happened on Homeland Security's website today.
Take a look.
Is this a coincidence, or a purposeful move by the GOP-influenced DHS?
This is the first heightened national security alert issued since August 2006, according to the Current Threat Level archives on DHS's website.
Note: Here's a screen capture just in case DHS removes the heightened security alert before you can read it.
