The National Anthem and Barack Obama

Barack Obama's campaign started a page called Fight the Smears to combat all the rumors about him.  It's rather slim on setting the record straight having addressed only a few issues.  One is about him being a Muslim, his wife's "Whitey rumor, a few quotes from his books that may have been misquoted, his place of birth,  and the rumor he doesn't put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance.  For the last rumor, they generously supplied one video of him doing this in the senate to stop this rumor. 

But what I've read people complain about is him standing without putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.

The Obama team didn't address this at all.  Odd.

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.
