Here's an article on the flap about Obama's patriotism. :barf:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/obama.patriotism/index.html
I guess I missed the memo that your patriotism is measured by whether you wear an American flag or not. It doesn't matter where you are politically, this is just disgusting.
Remember the gibberish that went out about him being a Muslim, etc, etc? And how many people fell for it without bothering to check the facts? I had like 10 people forward that stupid thing to me.
It’s too bad Republicans don’t have any issues they can win on.
This is the same type of non-sense as that Swift-Boat stupidity, where tons of chicken-hawks who were too busy to go the fight commies in Vietnam (Dick Cheney was prob busy picking trash after his 2 DUIs) went after someone who actually volunteered to go down range and took rounds, no matter what the circumstances behind his awards are (No, I don't care for nor did I vote for Kerry, I wrote in Willie Nelson).
Or who can forget when draft-dogging Dennis Hastert questioned combat veteran John Murtha's willingness to fight or when Jean Schmidt dared to call him a coward. Sheer arrogance……
Personally I'm disgusted that Republicans seem to think they own patriotism and that their God is somehow on their side.
DISCLAIMER- Yes, I am a liberal and I am voting for Obama, although I find him to be long on rhetoric and rather short on experience and substance; and I seriously doubt anything is going to change.
And on personal note: I don’t get why religious people have a problem with him. The guy is a hard-core Christian and can’t get enough church. He’s WAY too religious for my taste but strangely enough he takes flack from his Christians. Strange.........
