O'Herir:
<"I'm sorry, that's right--one of this year's candidates is a Muslim.">
1st question: WHICH ONE WOULD THAT BE? On the ticket we've got a Christian and a Catholic, a so-called or lapsed Christian and a Pentecostal evangelical who might talk in tongues and is on an admitted blessed mission from God, as ordained by a pastor witch-hunter.
2nd question: Even if any one of them were Muslim, what's wrong with that (providing he/she is not a radical Islamic terrorist plotting against the world)?. Being Muslim does NOT equal war not peace. Very important distinction.
3rd question: So why the apology?
(from p. 1...Obama is not a Muslim. The United Stupid of America never cease to amaze me.
-- aceniantor)
(from p.1...@aceniantor...I'm fairly certain Mr. O'Hehir was being ironic there...
-- John N.)
Irony not appreciated, even if intended. I thought it was lame and doesn't add to what's going on in the election now--even moreso because Independent Maher has actually come out in favor of the Democratic candidate this year. SORRY, O'Hehir, Bill can say it and get a laugh or chuckle. You, in context, put it into a place where insult could easily be construed. And hey, I'm a huge Maher fan, but I don't think he's right on everything, and I'm sure he wouldn't think I'm right on everything either.
SORRY from me that I'm tired of peace-loving Muslims getting shafted into the terrorist sects.
