Here is the full 2 minutes around that misleading 13 second clip. It is as clear as day that he's putting sarcastic quotes around "my Muslim faith" since the entire question is about his (actual) Christian faith.

Fox is a conservative media outlet and I'm sure said something. Fact: McCain wouldn't even do an interview on any of their shows. Fox does not equal McCain. Look I think this video is mis-named as Obama never did say was muslim, he said "his Christian faith." I really don't care what his faith his. I was just pointing out that the interviewer to rigorously persue Obama to admit McCain himself did not say it. Again:Fox does not equal McCain.

Just because he won...doesn't make him or the people who voted for him right. If you want to get down to it...even bad presidents win elections, but only history can tell. Look at Jimmy Carter. Very similer policies, and he was the worst we've had. Just keep that in mind.

within the first 40 seconds he explicitly and correctly mentioned "fox news" and "republican commentators" as the perpetrators of these insinuations. He also correctly stated that they are closely allied with McCain. He never said McCain specifically said it.
I don't know what video you were watching, but it wasn't this one.

I've voted with the religious right but now I see how racist they are. How about those Tom Delay / Abramoff forced abortions in Saipan. You notice it's okay for rel. right white people to dehumanize everyone and it's okay.
Ralph Reed who was indicted was on listener supported radio talking down on Obama. You white frigin christians hate Obama and all black people. The republican party is the forced abortion in Saipan party. White injustice is okay with the religious right. They hate everybody !

Yes, he finally did admit that McCain did not call him a muslim but the interviewer had to pry it out of him because Obama had made earlier statements blaming McCain of do just that.

Still bitter, eh??? LOL. I have to laugh as after the country has spoken and elected Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, this ridiculous fodder still continues.
Get over it. I repeat get over it!
Obama/Biden 08.

"Black Liberation Theology is not true Biblical Christianity. Obama is NOT a Christian. Christians DO NOT defend infanticide. "
lol @ you born-again loons who make claims to have the "one true version" of christianity. fact is, you practice an extremely recent formulation of your religion and you don't even know it. The gospel of Thomas and associated texts would be some of the earliest, but they were burned by politicians. But you didn't know that, bc your preacher never mentioned it. Rofl.

wrong. he explicitly said that mccain has not accused him of being muslim. that's what the entire fucking video and decontextualized money shot soundbyte "my muslim faith" was about.
mccain's *surrogates* went to great lengths to raise questions about Obama's religion, and Obama was correct in pointing that out. Do you ever WATCH fox news? Get a clue.

Islam is a religion of peace. too bad the radicals/conservatives/crazies are throwing that away.
