Obama: Muslim or Not?

Broncos didn't from a new balanced world headquarters building moos news off Holloway cars show you know.

The answer is moment. The longer this goes on -- of this suffering for the people who live and work in lower Manhattan and they've been through.

If you're gonna if you're going to be best so. Horribly offensive to people who most directly affected by this the family's from September 11 victims who. I happen to know have -- to know you don't really well how are you healing and all this is doing is creating more division more anger more hatred.

Well I think it -- another site would be a better idea here again but I I would look to do that with the cooperation of the people who are trying to build build a mosque it is no -- and I think I believe that the people are trying to build a -- trying to do something that's good. But there's no point in starting up front of these and it's good it's gonna meet with an enormous resistance. From a lot of folks -- colleagues to.

You know Nancy Pelosi had a news conference in San Francisco's -- life. You -- to she wanted to hear you need investigated who opposes the building of the mosque that she wanted a number of members of the house representatives who are Democrats. We've come out and opposition Jonathan -- Meyer of a Pennsylvania Democrat from Pittsburgh has come out and out this month she wants them investigated. Mean this this to -- is mystified.

I'm not powered card WRKO radio networks.

What's mystifying enough.

She's out of her mind. Non compress Memphis. 1877469432218774694322. That's the toll free number of how we car show if you would like to join us here. This afternoon -- every weekday afternoon. If you would like to listen -- show on the Internet you can always do so go to our website which is how we -- dot com how we cart dot com click on the life. Audio streaming hall also on how we cart dot com you can take take part in our daily Internet poll question and of course our. Poll question today concerns the the amazing a whole. Numbers that have come out overnight the pew research on our Mata -- right wing organization. And apparently the the number of people who think that the Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim nick continues to rise and his now up to 24%. Of the country. And the number people who think he's a Christian has declined from a year ago from 43% thought he was a Christian it's down to 34%. And that is that's that's our poll which would ask people I you know I thought -- steadfastly said that -- I don't think he's a Muslim because just because that that thing that he said in San Francisco to fund -- back in 2008 when he said that. We talk about trailing Hillary in Pennsylvania and he said the he had problems with the both the bitter people who cling to guns and religion. And I -- I don't think a Muslim would use the word cling to talking about religion. But you know I think it's. That's just maybe I'm wrong I don't know CNB what is the poll or what is the poll question and what are the results bus. Currently in a 100% some something else is a 100% yes OK will know we just got it up obviously there's been one or two votes. A -- we -- Muslim votes that I before the afternoon is is done. Why OK just switched it just switched. You know -- 67% Muslim. So there was one vote. Force say he was something else and now two more attuned to votes of commend the second and third votes instead it was a Muslim. So that's why it's 6733. We get these polls up kind of wait sorry about that it's there's that we get -- other other stuff to do first before Paul. 18774694322. That is the toll free number of about how -- car show again we. We we can -- the president this is coming today to watch the Martha's Vineyard and I I didn't see this because normally I don't really pay a lot of attention to president's coming to Martha's Vineyard that's it. It's it's better for my blood pressure not to you know I remember when Clinton used the comer over the rainbow -- work wig -- he war.

For a Republican had done that they were called -- hate crime but a Democrat called a Democrat that it and all the press was there and they didn't even didn't even bother reported. Somebody was somebody was there and sent us a picture of certain that was the only place that was the only place you'd ever see the picture government the rainbow Afro wig. But anyway. The Boston Globe apparently were.

The Obama T shirts are not selling it as quickly as that T shirts that say.

They have a picture of George W. Bush on them with that it's goofy smile. And say miss me yet. Miss -- is outselling Barack Obama on Martha's Vineyard. A bastion. Of the beautiful people. -- I think that tells you something I think that -- there's a lot of evidence that. Perhaps in big trouble. I can't say it -- couldn't happen to a nicer -- all by the way did you hear. Unemployment claims work unexpectedly. -- this week yes. Unexpectedly. I think you're you know I think if -- the the B managing editor of the Associated Press or Reuters or whatever other new services there are. I would be in the use of the word unexpectedly and stories about unemployment anymore because it's just it's just too much fodder for for guys like may. I'm X-Factor. That way the the economists. Had -- dead I'd drop. In the amount of what the number of filings instead it was the largest number of filings since November. Of 2009. What's happening. What's happening to recovery summer exclamation point question mark. What happens to recover.

somber exclamation point where is the recovery. Whereas the recovery summer exclamation point question mark. 1877469432218774694322. That is the death toll free. Number about how we car show. In in Illinois 40%. Of the voters in Illinois his home state. Say -- be less likely to support and Obama endorsed candidate compared to 26%. To say it would be an asset. The reality at this point is that Obama turns Republican voters off to a much greater extent that excites Democrats that's reflected in the fact that 83% of Republicans. Say in Obama endorsement would be a negative with them while only 49% of Democrats say would be a positive independents also respond negatively. By -- 38 to nineteen. Margin. 1877469432218774694322. I think this mosque thing is really a it is really hit a tipping point -- read that somewhere last night they said you know -- the people have these president unpopular presidents have these tipping points. Where there's an after after which there's no way they can ever come back like -- For a Jimmy Carter was the malaise speech you know we never used the M word malaise that was in 1979 he blamed the crisis. In confidence on the American people. Not on him self. The storm we're listening to -- think it listening to a driver of economy as well aware was I was driving south on the Maine turnpike and and I'm listening forensic. He's blaming me. The president. You know look at it and a 17% mortgage way to end and he's blaming me.

And they said big you know to use another extremely unpopular President Nixon and be eighteen minute gap. I'm still no one still most of what really caused the gap in the paper. Where he and Ehrlichman and Haldeman we're discussing you know what how they were gonna shut up the Watergate burglars. But after that nobody believes anything he said you know that the same week that he was doing the same way that that came out. He was that he -- basically save Israel from being exterminated -- With the 1973. War. And he's so all this material over there but no I didn't even like make the front pages where he was the one because everybody was just talking about the eighteen minute gap by storm -- pulls up cartoon in the globe. Mixed Nixon's running you stressed the one of those old fashioned Hollywood directors. Outfits you know like short sheepish short plaid pants and -- If he's got -- in this chair -- the like the old director's chair in the background image he's got a pair scissors and he's running into the film room these joint fact. We're great we're great cartoon. But then that was his that was his defining moment and I think early this mosque may be the defining moment for Barack --

And just see it's just. He shown I mean how much more out of touch could be baby you know it makes it's a slap in the face. Not just not just a red states if you if you look at it in such a partisan way like the gulf thing you know those Earl red states that were fact that. But these -- the Blue States New York Connecticut New Jersey -- may even Massachusetts. Now that's were the complaints flew the first two planes flew out of here. And he just he just. Doesn't get it. Our 1877469432218774694322. The pew poll has reported by Associated Press finds confusion about Obama's most basic beliefs Americans increasingly are convinced incorrectly -- that is good way to put that. The president Barack Obama is a Muslim and a growing number thoroughly confused about his religion. The powerline blog dot com says I love that incorrectly the AP is in ball is evolved into an opinion machine sorts rare and a little startling to see -- standup so boldly for a fact. He's not a Muslim -- 18774694322. -- your next what how what cargo ahead Rudy.

Ali. I had a question I received help and on the -- connecting a believer like you might know about. It's that the most outrageous statement made by any president. Employee does he talks he talked about making the military people pay for their own insurance because -- few choice names still.

Troy no names I I remember something about paying for their own insurance by an -- each -- names. Well. I would I would did there's Leo what is the what's the site called snow is a call slopes I think it's called snow says general PS darker.

Got an assist from. Gibson social.

No no no but I'm talking about where you check out you can check out there's -- like fact checking web sites. Yeah you know when something sounds too good to be true as you know what generally has.

That's what I thought so anyhow I think Obama is to head is. His religion is wherever he is he's that religion.

The you mean like he changes his accent are.

It's wherever -- go to -- religion if it goes -- because that's why do -- this wily Beagle six Chinese if Chinese. Now. But so that way they have not gonna get trouble.

Yeah well he gets it he's got himself over the a lot of --

All I know what to talk about faith in noticed that the White House what he said it was great to do a bunch of mud flows. And he knew he was afraid to say what he should have said it would a coward is always -- a coward and a -- Collins.

What are ya know a thing is you almost have more respect for me if it had gone out there the next day and said well again I said what I said -- believe it but he backed off the statement. And then then what yes today. He said he said he stood by the statement that he had repudiated on Saturday after making it on Friday right. Well what's it would you know what which he's worse than not John Kerry when it comes to flip flops we've got John Kerry goes gives them right on the boat by the way.

The answer is -- The answer is no regrets. I was not commenting on what you think I was commenting on that was Saturday. They should do they should they have the right to have a Moscow on ground zero that was Friday and now. Saturday and well back heights you know boy again that's like whether he sees like -- whether it be blowing in in a hurricane. Back and forth back and forth Jason your next with how we cargo ahead Jackson.

But look at stake is just Billy Hunter this by the fact that the Washington crew. They look at us -- vital if the local. I graduated from Princeton. -- start of the uterus -- Pennsylvania ad bit ad bit. Yeah and -- But she she can't imagine it up she locals could possibly think for -- Without George Soros.

Exasperating that our. Or represented actually believe that unless that would that's stupid that we can actually wrote lemon that we. And that something has been VGA dot. Now -- just wanted.

Isn't -- told -- I -- think about it that her statement yesterday about how -- should be an investigation of people organs from Moscow mean. That's that's really hurt tipping point that's for jumped the shark moment I mean how -- how could you take her seriously. At right after she says something that -- absurd but you're right in her world. The only way you get out a crowd is to pay them off right. So someone has to be paying all these people did good but thought that they could like see something on TV here and -- newspaper or on the radio. And get when -- about it and then and then suddenly take action that's that's beyond beyond her raw imagination.

Because that's not the way the world works the way the world works. Is. Mean did you ought somewhere. There's somebody behind masterminding did it George Welch riding dejected -- And Spielberg writing a check it beautiful person writing -- check. Morons like you meet these kids beat out grass so I know she.

Biting a crowd. That's Soledad -- space and you're right she does think of us as -- talk for five weeks -- want to make your local no doubt about it -- in their minds and so Oreo. 18774694322. Where all the locals. 18774694322. By the way we we have found hairy reed. Audio do you have that yet Cindy -- haven't we we have this is this is fantastic I it's I've known that this I've I've known the lead that he said best. For years but the hot air or somebody came up what the actual this is the floor of the Senate. In 1993 now remember Harry Reid the the the Senate majority leader Democrat in May yet tight race for reelection. Said that said the because these be Republicans. -- some Republicans were talking about repealing or changing the wording on the fourteenth amendment to deny birthright citizenship to watch the children of illegal aliens that. He didn't know how many Hispanic could possibly be a Republican other number of ironies there. But not the least of which is that his his son is running for governor against state. Hispanic Republican names -- ball and he's behind by fifteen points. Now but here's here's an even bigger irony here at this is this is Harry Reid in -- 1973. On the floor of the Senate. 19939017. Years ago decrying birthright citizenship.

If making it easy to be the only derailing his. How about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant know sing country would do that. Right -- again if you break our laws by entering this country without permission given birth to a child. We reward that child. With US citizenship. And guarantees a full access to all public and social services this society provides and that's a lot of services. Is it any wonder that two thirds of the babies born taxpayer expense -- counting run hospitals. From Los Angeles. Are born to illegal alien mothers.

How could any Hispanic ever vote for Democrats. Have been hearing that hate speech from the leader. Of the Democratic Party in the United States senate I I am shocked and appalled I you know I. You know I mean even the and I had you know if Laura Schlesinger at said that should have to quit. Oh that's right charity yes quit. 18774694322. I'm Howie Carr.

8774694322. Experienced the tradition of the 91 annual senior Anthony speech Friday August 27 -- Sunday are.

By the way Roger Clemens is has been indicted or is about to be invited. Obstruction of justice perjury stop me if you've heard this one before. I was wondering why he was in the yesterday when I was at the station here -- another one interviewing for a job. How many how many more people we have on the show what's with the obstruction of justice and felony charges and -- day parts. Where exactly he's got the break him on the weekend so sorry about that garage. And by the way why is. Why isn't against a lot of -- he so because there's this guy. In the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals he just but I -- he just got his conviction overturned a bid they said it's okay to lie about his military service. Sort if Roger Clemens had told congress that he was a metal harper -- and it got the silver star the bronze spark that would be okay. Right. But I think it depends on when you're lying you know I mean if you're lying under -- that's a very bad thing.

I think it's a bad thing to lie about military -- satellite period but it's criminal if you're under -- This ruling contradicts years of precedent where the Supreme Court has explicitly. Stated that false statements of fact they're not entitled the First Amendment protection. The ruling also denies the obvious but again it's the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals fibbing about one's military service damages the people who legitimately served. And been honored for that service and it fraudulently conveys to the wire an air of respect and honor. 18774694322. Russia's point as of Russia and Drudge. We're getting myself Florida. Conservatives mixed up here. Matt Drudge has posted an old story from may of 2008. By guy named Edward -- And Edward -- is a he was he is -- was a fellow for the center of strategic and international studies. Yeah and -- was is this what he says again this was an op Ed in the New York Times in 2008. As the son of a Muslim father Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally. Understood. It makes no difference that as Senator Obama has written his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise. Under Muslim law based on the car rain and his mother's Christian background is irrelevant. Irrelevant. 1877. But he's not a Muslim. You he has studied under that the bad bad about the the squalor of the new testament in the sermon on the mount. Reverend Jeremiah -- 18774. Supply gotta read this I just have to leave this --

You're usually not not only does he support abortion Mikey supports. I've tried the -- the fourth trimester I call a partial birth abortion you know. I think that was something in the US senate before he got -- voted 988 to nothing against partial birth abortion but he voted for it in the Illinois State Senate he didn't wasn't present on that when he actually came and to the chambers and up pushed the green button on that one.

They always daily it's kill or legislate German Greta and started really drove murder -- German Greta hey what about the abortion question and current. What do you mean what happened to.

Then walk up the following morning with a slamming. Hang over a fat bride in need of a shape. 1877. For its so once says the reason why it diss it too media didn't get invited to Spain is because Spain won't allow illegal aliens. That's right isn't that -- that they had the state the part that's that's a good point. They had the State Department warning which they just lifted they said Debbie can be careful in Spain because Spain is he anti black because they're on the watch for illegal aliens. I think I think that would that would described by -- and Tony would not. 18774. Give me Harry Reid what this Harry Reid think of -- with Tony I guess it depends on what year yet ask command. Mike. Oh that's it okay next caller here 18774694322. Mike just -- nor the -- different Michael had.

And they just that's -- Why do John Kerry got this group on the boat again if you've got to write it opposite tack. They got a charter a very got a cabinet Igawa.

You're right all it takes is one the one charter right I mean that's all you need is the one charter and then you can write it off as a business expense right.

Right yes she's from Canada we read your op Ed piece in the Ottawa citizen yesterday on the air yeah.

Ever hear of our point was that there Muslims have a history of building. Victory mosque on the site of their careers so sales are up yes -- There's probably isn't politically correct to say such a big -- it's it's. It just makes -- very suspicions.

Now it is say that there's a story in politico saying that this thing is not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination but. I don't I don't know why this is. This idea it's just too outrageous it just -- and but I ramps up so disgusted with the Bloomberg especially you know Bloomberg should not mean you don't expect much from Barack Obama at this point you know you he -- what -- is you know he's that he's just a you know an academic guy who got pushed from. You know position to position for the obvious reason but I mean Bloomberg is actually. You think.
