From the transcript of Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama:

Now, I understand what politics is all about. I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far. And I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for. And I look at these kinds of approaches to the campaign and they trouble me. And the party has moved even further to the right, and Governor Palin has indicated a further rightward shift. I would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, but that’s what we’d be looking at in a McCain administration. I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? Yet, I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion, “He’s a Muslim and he might be associated terrorists.” This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards–Purple Heart, Bronze Star–showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn’t have a Christian cross, it didn’t have the Star of David, it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life.

Joe Lieberman is one of John McCain’s closest friends, but just like McCain’s other bosom buddy George Bush, Lieberman has been caught engaging in terrorist fist-bumping and that makes him at least as much of a Muslim as Obama.

If you can get past last year’s emo hair cut dejour, you’ll notice that faux punk Pete Wentz borrowed Rachel Ray’s terrorist scarf after finding it in a dumpster in an alley off Hollywood Boulevard. Although being a douchey faux punk is not a crime, wearing a keffiyah is a crime in the eyes of many (many of whom are strangely featured on this website) and that makes Pete Wentz more Muslim than Obama.

Between Palin’s book banning efforts (very undemocratic!) and her previous membership in the fundamentalist Pentecostal faith, one thing is clear;  Sarah Palin prefers a theocracy to a democracy and wants to impose her religious beliefs on the nation through the power of the federal government (teaching creationism along side evolution, eliminating abortion even in cases of rape and incest, etc).  And Palin’s husband belonged to a secessionist group. Her fundamentalist religious beliefs and her fondness for theocratic thought make Sarah Palin dangerous to the United States in a way that Muslims are not.

I know most of you probably already knew that Whoopie Goldberg (Muslim sympathist Rosie O’Donnel’s replacement on The View) was more Muslim than Obama, but it turns out that Elizabeth Hassleback, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, and Sherri Shepherd not only entertain Michelle Obama on The View, but greeted her with terrorist fist bumps. And of course, that makes at least as Muslim than Obama.

Surprisingly enough, wet burka contests make Burning Man more Muslim than Obama.

It’s funny how the comments are the same no matter where the issue is discussed. It’s also funny how the same percentage of readers never seems to understand the idea of parody or satire. Oh well. Notice that John McCain’s campaign is still buying Google ads that appear on this site, and appeared on this site BEFORE John McCain was ever mentioned. The campain must be buying “Obama” and “Muslim” as a part of the Google Adwords buy.

Neti pots originate in India, and India is right next door to Pakistan, and everyone knows that Pakistan is a breeding ground for Muslims, especially Muslim extremists. My neti pot may look harmless, well, maybe it doesn’t really look harmless, but it doesn’t recite the pledge of the allegiance or wear an American flag lapel pin. In fact, my neti pot slouches and turns it back in the presence of any American flag. For all of these reasons my neti pot is definitely more Muslim than Obama.
