KNS Endorses Obama!

KNS Endorses Obama!

The republicans must have some major poop on Obama for republican publications such as the KNS to say they will endorse him. The RNC must have an Obama scandal locked away in their files and are planning to bring it out during the main election.

And not surprisingly, there's some nasty shit in the comments over there. It's like Free Republic.

Here's a good one:

Obama does not even believe he should pledge allegiance to our Flag and he refuses to do so. Obama was educated in a Wasabi school in Jakarta Indonesia. The same school philsophy tha is taught in Iran and throughout the middles east, It is a philsophy of KILL EVERY NON-MUSLIM ON THE PLANET.

A Wasabi school? I bet that's some spicy cafeteria food, eh?

Another says of Obama:

He is a dangerous "quasi" foreign national and will not be elected as president. Make my words.

What makes Obama quasi-foreign in this reader's mind, I wonder. The fact that he's not pasty white? That he lived in another country as a youth?

Because we've done so well in this country the last seven years being led by a white dumb-ass who grew up thinking of a beer run to Oklahoma as a foreign excursion.

Same thing (although not as bad) as the WBIR Topix forums. Whenever Obama is mentioned the right wing nut jobs start spewing forth the lies about the pledge of allegiance, his religion etc... You would think that the KNS comments would be more heavily moderated.

I did not know that about McCain. I assume his dad was stationed there?

P.S. The KNS endorsing Obama means zip. They will endorse whoever the Republican nominee is in the fall.

McCain was born in Panama?

Then he is not a US Citizen!

Panamanian children born in the US Canal zone were not given US citizenship, and by our laws, if it's a US territory, and a child were born within it's borders, then the child is supposed to receive citizenship. So it must mean the Canal zone was not truly a US territory and so it also means McCain is not a true citizen of the US, this makes his candidacy for presidency illegal!
