Here we go again. In just the last day or two, I've already read two blogs that state that Barack Obama would stand by Muslims instead of standing by Americans. They use this quote from his book "Audacity of Hope":

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!

Deep, deep sigh. I guess the Republicans have started the same smear campaign as they did with John Kerry, an honorable man who served in Vietnam when their president, President Bush, got himself a safe pass in the Guard and then at some point decided not to report for duty. Even John McCain himself thought what was being said about his fellow Vietnam veteran was horrible. Your presumed nominee, John McCain, would not endorse these type of tactics, so why do you feel you must do so against the presumed nomineee of the Democratic Party?

If anybody had bothered to actually read the page from which it came from, it says this:

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

For those who need an interpreter, Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims."

Any American, regardless of their religious orientation, is protected under our Constitution. Every person in this country who is member, regardless of whether they came here through legal immigration or were born here are guaranteed the same rights you have. Oh, perhaps you didn't know that babies are born in America every day and some of them are growing up in Muslim homes. According to the way some Republicans are thinking, does that mean America is now harboring terrorists and now we have to invade ourselves? Do you see how ridiculous you sound? You would do yourselves a world of good if you stuck to facts so that you would sound like intelligent constituents engaged in the real issues.

Do you think you are doing your party a public service by saying that some Americans are okay and others are not?

Do you think you are doing your party a public service by passing your gossip and rumors and lies as fact? If you are Christian, by doing that, you are already sinning against God. Since lying violates the virtue of truthfulness, a lie does real violence to another. It affects his ability to know, which is a condition of every judgment and decision. It contains the seed of discord and all consequent evils. Lying is destructive of society; it undermines trust among men and tears apart the fabric of social relationships. See Sir 27:16; Prov 25:9-10 John McCain is a honorable man and he isn't going to put up with this BLEEP when the Bush administration encouraged it.

You are already violating Christ's law of "love one another as I have loved you." Also "Love Thy Neighbor."

These attempts of smearing another are not going to work this time, and I'm most certain that John McCain is going to speak up, as he already has shown, after comments made by Parsley and Hagee horrified him.

Let's run a clean campaign folks. I will. My challenge to you: Are you capable of learning any new tricks?
