Guys, this morning on the radio, they played a snippet of a speech he did on his campaign run yesterday and he said that McCain was trying to change the issue with joe the plumber, and then he said "we wont be bamboozled", "we wont be hoodwinked" and some other famous sayings of malcolm x.............. he sounded straight up nation of islam guys!!!
How could anyone hear that and not see the identity of this man??!!!!!!!!

Straight up! Fo' sho'? That's off the chain, yo! Fo' nizzle! Ok, I'll stop. But that made me laugh until my nose bled. God forbid that a black man running for President of the USA quote a black man who worked to ensure equal rights for blacks. How dare they!
Gee, I never realized George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond were fans of Malcom X and the Nation of Islam. I have heard each one of them say exactly the phrases you just quoted in speeches. You people are just sad jokes with your desperation to tie Obama to the muslims.
@HoJuSimpson: "USED to be a black muslim"? Sounds like old Mormon BS. The Book of Mormon states that black skin is due to god's curse, and that if a dark skinned person repents, their skin will turn white.

Yes, he was. He joined the Nation of Islam and was an outspoken leader for many years. He became disilluioned with NoI after some sex scandals involving the head of the organization, and he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca in an effort to find "real Islam" - he found it, and discovered that Islam isn't a black religion, it draws adherents of all races and nations. He came back to America, publicly distanced himself from NoI, and that likely is part of the reason he was assassinated.
Yes, because not being bamboozled or hoodwinked is a sure sign of being a mooselimb. We all know that True Christians are routinely ... oh, dear, I forgot what I was going to say.
Wait, what?
Rapture Ready, at this point you're all so desperate it's pathetic. Obama isn't a Muslim, no matter how many leaps of Moonland Logic you try to use to justify your little persecutory complexes. Jesus Christ, let it go.
Um...he's using common American colloquial expressions to say "we won't be decieved," and this makes him a Muslim? My white Florida Cracker grandfather used those expressions, and he would have been very surprised indeed to hear that he talked like Malcolm X.
Malcolm X spoke English.
Barack Obama speaks English.
Malcolm X wore suits.
Barack Obama wears suits.
Malcolm X was born.
Barack Obama was born.
Malcolm X required oxygen, food and sleep.
Barack Obama requires oxygen food and sleep.
THERE YOU GO! ENOUGH PROOF FOR RAPTARDS!
Riiiight. And because I've read parts of Beowulf aloud in front of an audience, that makes me an 8th century Anglo-Saxon.
I could also be William Shakespeare for the same reasons.
So, Malcolm X was a muslim? Why? It is because he's black and obviously ALL black people are muslims. If there is a god (which, at times like this, unfortunately, there isn't) let him strike Berean Girl infertile so that she may not spread her racism and bigotry and misery et al to the next generation. Ramen.
Well, you know how it is. You can put lipstick on a pig, but you still can't teach it to sing, or something like that.

@Sisyphus: Well, yeah, Malcolm X was sort of. He was a leader in the Nation of Islam, which identifies itself as Muslim, though it's developed some weird separatist theology that's awaiting an alien "mothership" to deliver black people from white oppression. Even that has been toned down a bit as the group got more mainstream; but Malcolm X had already broken with the militant Nation of Islam after a pilgrimage to Mecca, where he saw Muslims of various races worshipping in relative peace and equality. He was preaching coexistence when he was assassinated.
Malcom X said "hoodwinked" when referring to the treatment of blacks by white people as a whole.
Obama said "hoodwinked" when referring to McCain's presidential campaign.
Therefore ... um ... McCain's presidential campaign took place in the 1960s, or something. I can't figure it out either.
How many of you lot put your FAIL... er, I mean faith in McCain's running sore Sarah FAILin in 2008? And how quick were you in condemning him as a RINO when Obama won?
It's far worse a decade later at Ruptured Retards.
How fickle you lot really are: as proved by your supporting your Golden Boy Mitt 'Magic Pants' Romney in 2016: so the 'Modern Cults & Religions' section of that wretched hive of scum and villainy was closed after a certain nomination: up to a certain night that November?
Question: Would it still have been closed today, if he'd won a second term...?!
Bamboozled yourselves , much?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
