I don't know if I got this out of context, but, "...the apparent intent of this lie is to portray Obama as a Muslim, as if that were a bad thing, we see now his apparent racism," seems to suggest that Muslims are a different race? They aren't.

We so often see Muslims and their apologists use the racism card as a way to silence critics.

If I were to suddenly become a Muslim would I have changed my race? No.

If I've got it wrong, I apologise; but the way you've worded that sentence seems a little off.

I admit I wasn't very clear. My intent was to suggest that Brock draws a line from Pres. Obama's race to Islam. Another way to put it: I somehow doubt that his video would make sense if Obama looked like Glenn Beck.

If I may make a suggestion . . . you need to start using the "Click here to read more" link after your initial paragraph or intro. Otherwise the blog is dominated by large blocks of text which smother other entries. Oh, and don't even call Brock "suave" unless it's some other usage of the word. The man is as suave as a ceiling.
