While it is dirty, I don't think its fair to generalize about Republicans or the GOP in general. There are fringe groups that are rallying behind both candidates right now doing their best to drag this election down into the mud....meanwhile the real issues take the back seat.

You need to fact check a little better. That was circulated during the primary by a fringe group supporting Hillary. I am on all the rep mailing lists and I never got one of those. Look to your side if you want to be outraged by this.

Gary, once again YOU are the one who doesn't check facts. It has been authoritatively traced to Free Republic.com and pre-dates the primary campaign by months. You really should listen to something besides Fox News:

LOL....ok, so that makes smearing Obama with lies okay. A responsible thing would be to retract what they published and offer an apology, which they have done neither. I've witnessed some real double standards when it comes to who, what, where and why a candidate like Obama or Palin can be smeared.

oh ... retractions happen so frequently when the published smear is against the party not supported by the publisher ...

Tisk tisk tisk, You should try reading the story before posting it. Let me help you out.

Martin, a former political opponent of Obama's, is the publisher of an Internet newspaper who sends e-mails to his mailing list almost daily. He said in an interview that he first began questioning Obama's religious background after hearing his famous keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In an Aug. 10, 2004, article, which he posted on Web sites and e-mailed to bloggers, he said that Obama had concealed his Muslim heritage. "I feel sad having to expose Barack Obama," Martin wrote in an accompanying press release, "but the man is a complete fraud. The truth is going to surprise, and disappoint, and outrage many people who were drawn to him. He has lied to the American people, and he has sought to misrepresent his own heritage." Martin's article did not suggest an association between Obama and radical Islam.

Martin was trying to launch a Senate bid against Obama when he says he first ran the Democrat's name by a contact in London. "They said he must be a Muslim. That was interesting to me because it was an angle that nobody had covered. We started looking. As a candidate you learn how to harness the Internet. You end up really learning how to work the street. I sort of picked this story up as a sideline." Martin said the primary basis for his belief was simple -- Obama's father was a Muslim. In a defamation lawsuit he filed against the New York Times and others several months ago, Martin says that Obama "eventually became a Christian" but that "as a matter of Islamic law began life as a Muslim" due to his father's religion.

The fact that at one point it was posted on freerepublic.com is all you saw isn't it? Let me clue you in. Anyone can post whatever they like on that site, including a someone wanting to cover their tracks. You get more amusing every time you post dude. Please continue. I find people making fools of themselves very entertaining and you have been the most fun I have had here in a long time.

Being called a Muslim is a smear, but both parties are trying to out-Christian each other. The latter is the scarier option in my book.
