It also explains why some people refuse to believe Obama is a corrupt Daly machine politico (think Rezko, the way Axelrod et al. sidelined a black female Democrat incumbent to pave his unopposed path to the Illinois senate, the manner in which Jack Ryan's supposedly confidential divorce proceedings leaked out after the primaries, etc) with ties to left-wing domestic terrorists (Ayers, Dorhn, in whose home his very first political fundraiser was held; Frank Marshall Davis, his "race relations advisor" and admitted pedophile who was a member of CPUSA) and communist front groups (he was a "community organizer" after Saul Alinsky for ACORN, after all), who for 20 years attended a church built on a hateful ideology (Black Liberation Theology) that despises America---despite the fact that all of this is irrefutably and demonstrably true.
The issue of whether or not he's a Muslim is somewhat bogus. Marxists are atheists, who will use religion when it suits their plans to "change" society (that's what Black Liberation Theology is all about by the way--supporting gods who incite blacks to revolution, killing gods that don't). But it is also a fact that he was raised Muslim in Indonesia in his very early years, and Rev. Wright as recently as last December gave Nation of Islam leader Lois Farrakhan a "lifetime achievement award"--in the same edition of his church newsletter in which he praised Obama, well before polls forced Obama to distance himself from the church (never did repudiate it BTW). So it's hard to see how he could have missed that one. And even harder to see how anybody can doubt his extremist ideology. - Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Ed Leafe > Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 7:42 AM > To: ProFox Mailing List > Subject: [OT] Explains a lot of the mindless drivel here > > http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080924-does-ideology-trump- > facts-studies-say-it-often-does.html > > ( -or- http://twurl.nl/ne14zr ) > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > These findings, if true, have worrying implications.
