Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a message The rumor some Christian denominations are spreading is that he'll wait till he's in office and then "decide" to revert to Islam. Calling him a Muslim or hinting at his early life and/or father just tends to reinforce these fears. And this could be an honest concern for some people. So why did Bob Kerrey, a big Hillary backer, go on record in an interview talking about Obama's great Muslim heritage and roots just the other day? Was this meant to cause those concerns, that some might have, to rise in their awareness?_Kerrey Tries to Explain Obama Muslim Remarks - The Caucus - Politics - New Yor_ (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/kerrey-tries-to-explain-obama-muslim-remarks/ ) I'm afraid so. I believe any mention potentially could be seen that way, in a similar way that racism can be accomplished by a conspiracy of silence and inaction. In this case it's planting negative imagery into the collective subconscious by subtle innuendo. It's a form of "poisoning the well", albeit a more stealthy one. And you don't think the Clinton's wouldn't take advantage of that for 8 more years? **************Start the year off right.
