How To Stop ‘Muslim Fundamentalist’ Barack Obama
BARACK Oabama is making news in the Ottawa Herald.
The writer of a feature entitled “Don’t betray your heritage for Obama’s ‘change’” one Gary Sillett, a “Princeton resident and a pressman at The Ottawa Herald”.
He writes in the Ottawa Herald:
The Democratic Party actually intends to put a Muslim fundamentalist in the White House. Yes, you read it right. They want to put a man of Muslim origins in the White House.
Barack Hussein Obama hit the campaign trail from nowhere and continues to gain momentum as his political handlers crank out generic catchphrases to lure the unsuspecting voter with words like hope and change.
Now there s nothing wrong with hope or change. It has been our tradition as a nation that when we get tired of something or someone, we exercise our constitutional rights and throw them out. That’s why we asked our representatives for term limitations. But to even consider turning over the reins of government to a Muslim fundamentalist would be, as my grandmother used to say, throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
You want more? Come on, you know you do. It gets better…
[Some text excised.]
To elect Barack Obama to the highest office in the land would be nothing less than spitting on the graves of the victims of 9/11, as well as the memory of the countless thousands of American loyalists who have pledged and given their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in defense of the greatest nation on earth. In many cases, these things are all that is left to families of American heroes who heard the call and stepped forward and defended not only their heritage, but the legacies of millions in foreign lands.
Who dares now say that anyone can be a newspaper columnist?

Perhaps it’s not up to me to give opinions in such an issue, but sometimes you have a thought and need to share it. Perhaps it’s good, perhaps it’s bad; perhaps it’s true, perhaps it isn’t. Sometimes somebody looking from outside could see better, sometimes couldn’t. My english is poor, my style rude and lacking nuances, so I don’t know if would make me understand or not – at least, I hope, something from what I am going to say would be interesting. Or not?
So, I think there was a war in the world, which will end in the actual US elections. One side of that war was personified by the image of Mr. Bush, and the other by other images. I am refering to a strictly symbolic level – you can know it better for having better psychoanalytical tradition.
Before continuing, I wish to specify the following:
I consider Mr. Obama is a honourable man.
I think changes are good.
A black US president, sounds providential.
They say he’s a muslim. But he say to be a cristian, and I believe he’s a cristian, as I am a cristian and anybody could be a good cristian without demostrating it too much. And anybody who would go for a president in a country with a strong cristian tradition, would be a good cristian. And if he was a muslim, no problem for a really democratic country.
And Mr. Obama is a well prepared politician.
And is a really honourable man.
But the problem is other, and now we are going back to the war, without fear of misunderstanding. (I hope so.) The problem is, I think, a psychological one. And somebody knew very well how to exploit it. A part of Americans are so accustomed to see everything in only two colors. Perhaps your cinematography is to blame for this. You will know it better as it has to do with the psychoanalysis. They’ve seen too much good guys and bad boys, too much heroes and evildoers. It’s deep in the mentality of that part of your people. They even cannot see the history without dividing its figures, and peoples, into heroes and demons. And others have known very well to take advantage of this. When they see the heroes devaluing, they immediately change them by antiheroes, and everything goes on.
At the biggining, Mr. Bush was a heroe. And he fought as a heroe. And Americans saw him as a heroe. But the things began to complicate. Apparently, obtaining the victory was going to be delayed – not as in a picture, in two hours. And the heroe fell from favor. No problem, there is an antiheroe – when you start to loathe a heroe, to punish him for failed expectations, you will choose his adversary. Osama Bin Laden o Sadam Huseyn? Perhaps, if they have reached the necessary symbolic weight.
And now the problem really begins. And somebody knew and knows how to exploit it. It is as there would be, for example, a guy named Adolf Hifler competing as a candidate in Israeli presidential elections. I repeat I consider Mr. Obama as a honourable man and an excellent candidate for US president. But the problem is the name, and its symbolic value, and the mentality of those who….
It was only a thought. And the war will end…
And, I would like to remind you that Mr. Bush didn’t lose this war, because:
There are people still dying in Iraq, but there were more people dying before, during Sadam regime, there was even genocides against diferent ethnic groups before, and no reporters ever entered Iraq in that times to relate or film it. And now they can fill up news and TV with reports. Why didn´t they enter Iraq before? And Tibet? And former Soviet Union during the communist regime? Because of fear. And now can enter, because there is better situation, more liberty. Less danger. Thanks to American military presence.
Kurds have their autonomy, their state, and their administration for the first time after centuries and centuries. And they are more than ten million. Thanks to American military presence in Iraq.
At least, for these two reasons Mr. Bush didn´t lose the war and will not lose it. You’ll know it better.

Glad to see someone with some sense. This terrorist sleeper cell must be exposed and banned from america like all muslims should! Muslims in this country must be deported immediatley! They are all terrorists in waiting, ready to strike against you and your children!

Why are you all getting so antsy? This is american right wing politics! The democrats can be naughty too but never seem to rise to this level.
This is to be expected and it’s going to get a lot dirtier. What’s Rush Limbaugh…spelling…saying? And has Drudge drudged up anything yet.
All rightwing radio child’s play. They’ve more than usual to play with though…black…therefore muslim…drugs etc etc.
Remember Mccains ‘black illegitimate (actually adopted) daughter’? Republican on republican.
But Obama is in for a rough time.
Hopefully Americans have seen it all before.
Regardless, Hilary and Obama…interesting times.
Wooohooohoo!

Peter,
“Those who seek to lead this great country…”
Errr… which great country would you be talking about there?
February 8th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
All ignorant namecalling aside,some facts. 9 trillion national debt. $60,000 each American owes.$300 billion of your tax dollars in interest every year. How many hours do I have to work to owe that much in taxes. Not too likely that I’ll pay it off. Wait, niether will my old lady. Somebody out there owes $120,000 plus their $60,000. You all vote Obama and then get to work.
February 8th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
yOU KNOW AND ANYONE ELSE READING THIS PAGE KNOWS THAT BARAK OBAMA HAS NO INTENTION ON DOING ANYTHING FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT THE BLACK RACE. hE QUOTES JOHN KENNEDY [[A LOT ]] ESPECIALLY AFTER THE MURDERER TED ENDORSED BARAK. i HAVE WITNESSED HIM QUOTE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS [[HALF ASS]] QUOTES BUT NOT WORD FOR WORD . i HAVE n e v e r heard OL’BARAK quote ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY. NOW IF THAT DOES NOT SAY SOMETHING WITHIN ITSELF THEN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS A CORRECT ASSUMPTION.
February 8th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I can only assume that this article is addressed to the mentally retarded. Everybody else knows that Obama is a proud Christian ( as testified by his church) and swore on the Bible when he was elected in the US Senate.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
That is absolute trash, it shows how shallow minded some people are at this day and age. Thats why most Young Americans are voting for Obama, they know there are people like this mad man (writer) who are actually aiming to divide people.People in America are trying to bury these past differnces ,so is Barack. Barack is uniting people of all races the whole world over.Whats wrong with this writer!!! He shouldnt be working for this paper. He should go TO HELL immediately or keep his sick opininos to himself. He should not be allowed to publish such stupid accusations which are quite hurtful.I dont think Barack will comment on this,becoz ,I DONT THINK HE wants to sink that low ,to the same level of writer. God will take Barack where he wants him (white House) whether this writer wants it or not. He (writer) is somehow very mentally retarded. He CAN GO HANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA IS HEADING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE FULL STOP.
February 8th, 2008 at 10:58 am
This is realy an act of holiganism or perhalps a paid spoilers job. I can not believe that in this jet age, a mentaly retarded idiot could be setup to deceive a better informed group of people.
Any whether you are paid to write this to influence the outcome of the remaining primaries or you are paying yourself to do this, my advise is that it is a failed message. Rather people who never intended to vote should go out there and vote for Obama.
Those who seek to lead this great country should be above board. Division and racism should not be encouraged by them.
February 8th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Thank god i live in U.K as well and i personally dont give a crap who is elected…i dont know why anyone does…they always end up shit!
February 8th, 2008 at 8:58 am
This type of comment show how racist and how stupid some Americans are! Thank God I live in the UK!

the watcher
Please read the article CAREFULLY and then the response from Ebony Anderson CAREFULLY…she was quoting from the article and NOT making the statement herself. I have read you in other threads and it is a very bad habit of yours to jump on people commenting without really understanding what is meant.
February 8th, 2008 at 1:47 am
In fact, judging from the very look of this man’s (writer) face, there is more evil in him to worry about than the threats of the islamic fundamentalists
February 8th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Ebony Anderson
exactly WHAT makes your country so great ?
because to the rest of the world you are seen as a real danger to the planet
and 9/11 lets not go there or i will really get angry
February 7th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
This is the problem with our country there are people who are very ignorant and uneducated about our diverse country. So your saying, that because his faith is of muslim origin he shouldn’t be elected? well than how did president Bush get elected he’s a white christan… oh and wasn’t Timothy Mcvay of the Oklahoma bombing? didn’t we lose lives there? what about the Tinley park massacre just a week ago an african american christian kills 5 women execution style, do we label them as christian fundamentalists? we can’t label a group just by someones action.

>>>>THIS IS NOT CALLED FOR!!!! THAT IS A SIGN OF IGNORANCE. YES, EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINON….BUT SOMETIMES, YOUR OPINION SHOULD BE KEPT TO YOURSELF, AND NOT SPREADED ALL OVER THE INERNET…..GROW UP AND LET BARAK….BE BARAK…..AND LET HIM BE!!
February 7th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Given that Mr. Sillett is a resident of a Princeton jail on charges of paedophilia, perhaps we should look at the source.
Okay, the above is only as true as what he said about Obama.
February 7th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
That is, against some fairly strenuous competition, the most retarded thing I have read all week. Obama might have some utterly wacky beliefs when it comes to economic and foreign policy, but to accuse him of being an Islamic fundamentalist is elevating stupidity to the status of an Olympic event.
February 7th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I agree, this is arrogant stupid and downright hateful….please keep your personal feelings to yourself….for a proclaimed writer, you need to do your research before setting claims without facts…shame on you!
February 7th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Given he’s a practicing Christian its pretty difficult for him to be an Islamic fundamentalist…
Not that that ever stopped idiots from claiming things about him.
Attack him on his actual views by all means, but come on, this is just plain stupid.
February 7th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
[...] who can now doubt that anyone can be a [...]
February 7th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
He might be a Muslim, but he’s obviously not a fundamentalist - his wife has uncovered hair and I’ve seen her ankles.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Wow. For once I’m lost for words. That’s pretty hateful.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
America needs change. Does Barak Obama profess to be a practising Muslim or a practising anything? He sounds like the breath of fresh air needed, and certainly couldn’t make a worse job of the Presidency than the current incumbent.
More respect for human rights, and less worship of the dollar and oil at the expense of justice, is required. Who ever wins has an uneviably challenging time ahead.
I hope Barak Obama is given a chance to demonstrate his skills. If, after four years, the people are as unahppy as they are today, they have the option not to re-elect.
