Where's ShootinStudent when you need him...
I wanna hear his take on this.
My take is that the ad was not constructive and will only be taken by the rumor mill to justify the kooky theories that Barack Obama is a secret Muslim agent.
It's ironic for me, having spent some time reading into what conservative/radical Islamic movements are trying to do in their countries, to come here and see people calling Obama a marxist and then turning around to call him a secret Muslim.
News flash folks: If the Muslim radicals magically took control, they would....abolish any income tax, tax at 2 percent of one's wealth, and fight communism as a form of odious barbarism.
In terms of economic programs, which most people seem to be most concerned with when talking about Obama, the people on this board are by and large absolutely identical in beliefs to the Islamic radicals.
Yes, of course there are differences between the Islamic radicals and the economic libertarians on social issues, but in terms of economic policy they are the same-no state interference with private money, extremely low taxes, etc.
Obama is less like the Muslim radicals, in other words, than many people who post on this forum, with respect to his economic policy.
