During his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Senator Barack Obama stated…
If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It’s that fundamental belief — I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper — that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. “E pluribus unum.” Out of many, one.
These days he won’t so much as let a hijab wearing girl sit behind him (Hell, even Wahabis let hijabies sit behind them!). So let’s bust out our Q-tips, clean our ears, and give tonight’s presidential nomination acceptance speech a good listen.
Maybe he’ll resort to his old ways and call for the strengthening of Arab/Muslim-American Civil liberties. Or, maybe he’ll continue on his current path of disassociating from anything and everything Arab or Muslim. After all, today’s Arab/Muslim sympathizer is like yesterday’s “nigger lover,” no?
Who knows, maybe he won’t even mention us at all. Things are just safer that way… or are they?
Let’s wait and listen. Tomorrow we can discuss in what light (if at all) he mentions our community.

Posted by MooPig_Wisdom | August 29, 2008, 12:41 pm“Deterring Iran has nothing to do with us.”
Riight. You’ve heard of Islamophobia before, right? First of all, his generalized verbiage was stupid — deter Iran from what? Existing? Being a fully sovereign nation? Playing Nintendo? Making nuclear weapons? Say what you mean, Obama-dude.
And do you *really* think the logic that says Americans and Frenchies and Israelis can have nukes, but not those savage Iranians, has NOTHING to do with how the US views Arabs? Do you really think that most Americas understand the differences between Iranian/Arab/Muslim?
“Lastly, saying terrorism is a big problem the US must face in the 21st century is TRUE.”
Ummm, not so much. 3,000 people died in the WTC attacks. 600,000 died last year alone from heart disease. Half a million died from cancer. So why didn’t he mention “finsishing the job” with McDonalds and Phillip Morris? At least 100,000 died from car accidents — why didn’t that come up?
Terrorism, even moreso than communism before it, is a vastly exaggerated boogeyman. WHY should I believe it’s the most pressing issue facing me? Because daddy (the federal govt) says so? Because terrorism is some bizarre, inexplicable scourge that must be stamped out but all these much bigger killers are “just the way it is”? Only if you’re an uncreative idiot who believes the status quo must be maintained. But when you run as the change candidate…

A raghead (kalash’s favored term?) with a bomb belt can be.
What about that don’t you understand?
I don’t remember the last time cancer brought down NY skyscrapers and attempted to obtain and employ nuclear weapons in US cities.
No, this is the purview of a certain breed of barbArabs.
The fact that the remnants of your “holy warriors” now lie dismembered in the streets of Ramadi and screwing goats in the mountains of Pakistan is not mere accident or twist of fate.
The American military how now learned how to kill your holy fuckers. Bring it on, bitch.

errr…that should have read:
“Cancer can’t be stopped with 500lbs of high explosives released from 60,000 feet.”
No, but Phillip Morris could be combated at least as effectively as al-Qaeda if the military regarded them as an enemy org.
“The American military how now learned how to kill your holy fuckers. Bring it on, bitch.”
Sure, buddy. Keep playing “Army of One” online and telling yourself that in real life you’d kick some Arab ass.
