Fight the Smears!

Sadly, some people just can't debate the issues - they have to go into the same silly politics we see all the time. So what do you do when someone says "I heard Barack wasn't born in America!" Or "Is it true that Barack one bench pressed 500 pounds then dropped the weights on top of a bus full of nuns?"

The answer to both questions are, of course, no. But there will be idiots and inflamers who try to spread such innuendo and rumor as fact. So how do you fight back? FighttheSmears.com leads right to an official Obama web site. Get the Rapid Response by signing up for the email group.

Don't let a lie stand alone - hit it back with the truth.

Senator Obama is NOT a Dirty Muslim!

"What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge," says Mr. Obama, while denouncing statements of him being a Muslim as a smear. Why is the presidential candidate who claims to be religiously inclusive is treating the word "Muslim" as an insult? Apparently, it is OK for Mr. Obama to be associated with terrorists like William Ayers or racists like Jeremiah Wright, but God forbid somebody would call him a Muslim! No, he won't stand for that kind of smear! We admit that most terrorists are Muslims, but most Muslims are not terrorists and the statement on Mr. Obama's website is insulting to hundreds of millions of people.

How could a man who discards his family heritage in favor of political expediency be even considered for presidency of the United States? Where are all the so-called "Islamic civil rights groups" like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc. who are quick to defend every Islamic terrorist, but are silent when Muslims in general are being denigrated? Would Mr. Obama have the same reaction if someone claimed that he was raised as a Jew? We sincerely doubt that.

Muslims Against Sharia demand immediate removal of "SMEAR: Barack Obama is a Muslim" statement from the official Barack Obama's website as well as an apology for giving the word "Muslim" a negative connotation.
