Iowan Kim Lehman, who serves on the Republican National Committee, used her Twitter last week to reach out and touch the Politico — which is what today’s typical American woman does, if she’s feeling lonely — and chide them for taking cash-money to protect Imam Obama’s reputation. All America’s Top Political Zine had twittered was that “31% of Republicans believe Obama Muslim” — is that what passes for “protection” these days? Whatevs! Anyway, Lehman informed the Politicos that “BTW he personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim. Read his lips.” Some people got mad at her for this! So now she says she’ll take back her tweet, if someone just proves her wrong.
In a phone interview, Lehman told the Des Moines Register:
“[Obama]‘s the one that the news is about. It isn’t about me. Call the president…. Say, ‘Are you a Christian or not?’” Lehman said. “If I’m wrong, I’m more than happy to say, ‘Oh, I’m wrong.’”
Yeah, just call up Obama and ask. Go to the source! It’s so easy. Lehman will abide by whatever Obama says. We’re all reasonable, mature adults here, right? Sure, reasonable, mature adulthood has been demonstrated by only 0% of all Teabag-Republicans — but maybe Kim Lehman wants to break new ground.
If only! To make her case for Obama’s Muslinism, Lehman’s been referring to a speech he gave in Cairo, Egypt in June 2009 in which he said he was Christian:
Now part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I’m a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.
Obama was respectful to his audience, which — because they were Middle Eastern — is A Bad Sign. Also, he did not wheel out a gigantic crucifix to accompany him on the podium, or bring out the Power Team to start ripping Korans in half with their bare hands. The speech “just had the appearance that he was aligning himself with the Muslims,” Lehman says.
Maybe Lehman didn’t hear the part where Obama says he’s a Christian, though, because she’s in denial. You know that they say about denial, right? It isn’t just a river in Egypt. (Your Wonkette just made that up.)
The Des Moines paper says Lehman could be “one of the first” national GOP committee members to state that she believes in a Muslin-Obama faith connection, which is probably why she’s getting all the fancy media attention. But we’ll know if she’s really made it if her name starts popping up on America’s Twitter, @SarahPalinUSA. [Des Moines Register/White House website]

While Andy Warhol talked about 15 minutes of fame for everyone, that was before the internet. Now everyone can be famous forever as long as they’ve got fingers to text with and a delusional system.
While we are at it, I have yet to see any evidence that the President does not like to hump water buffaloes. Discuss.
If he only says what he’s said multiple times, she’ll finally stop believing her insane bigoted conspiracy theory. Makes sense.
No amount of proof will matter. The sekret Muslin folks are mostly the same as the birthers, who when shown Obama’s birth certificate decided it wasn’t good enough and demanded to see his other super-special birth certificate that doesn’t actually exist for proof.
Lehman = Lame. Geez, how stupid are these people? (That was rhetorical.)
Why isn’t the supposedly librul press spreading the actual fact that holy FoxNewscorp is muchly owned by Saudis — as in Saudi Arabia where the actual 9/11 hijackers actually came from?
Why aren’t Democratic committee persons in Iowa or Idaho spreading the word that Bank of America and JP Morgan support Islamic terrorists all over the globe because, well, they’re global. Can you prove they’re not?
Kim Lehman desperately needs a tinfoil turban.

I had a Dell Inspiron once.
Welcome to the GOP, the Party of the Stupid, Racist, Functionally Retarded, Losers, Ultra Rich Fascists, Dominionist, Assholes, Teabaggers, Oblivious, Trailer Park, Confederacy, Poor at Math/Science or any knowledge that doesn’t involve the bible, Skill-less, Draft Dodging Warmonger Chickenshits and Inane Dipshits… but we ain’t wussies like the Demoncraps.
[re=644240]jus_wonderin[/re]: good point.
[re=644234]WarAndGee[/re]: Nor is there any evidence to contradict the the Administration is following Swift’s Modest Proposal by roasting orphans in the White House kitchen and serving them to drug addicts at DC soup kitchens.
He is not a Muslim. He is something much worse. Barack Obama has heard the call of Cthulhu and he worships the octopus headed beast that will soon rise from the oceans and destroy us all!!!!
Spread the word, people. For the love of God and all that is holy: spread the word!!!
At least Obama didn’t rape and murder a young woman back in the early 1990s like SOME people we know… or DID HE????
“BTW he personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim. Read his lips.”
Did Rush assure her of this? Otherwise, Miz Thang needs to cite a reference or STFU.
I had to check out The Power Team. They introduce each member with a brief write up which includes height and weight but this guy really stands out.
“JEREMY BAKER: He stands 5’11″ and weighs 265 pounds. He is known as the “Human Canon Ball” for running full speed and diving head first into a wall of ice 9 ft. thick!”
I think they’re also gay not that there is anything wrong with that.
This is great stuff.
She is a true Bechtian logician. Remember that he was the one, on CNN, who asked Rep. Keith Ellis to prove to me that you’re not a terrorist because he is muslim. Remember that Bush earlier had asked Saddam to “prove that there aren’t weapons there, or we invade.”
All you have to do is give evidence of an absence, and we’ll be fine. Show me all the places you aren’t being a sneaky nogoodnik, and I’ll still be a brither, in other words.
[re=644234]WarAndGee[/re]: There is, in fact, no proof that Kim Lehman is herself not a water buffalo. Her criticism of The Preznit is evidence of the fury of a water buffalo scorned.
[re=644245]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: What I want to know is, why hasn’t Rush Limbaugh told people if he’s human or not, to dispel the rumors that he’s actually an alien Hutt who uses a holographic disguise in public? And will Sarah Palin deny the story that she’s a robot with a primitive AI that is only capable of communicating in a limited set of pre-programmed talking points?
[re=644249]Terry[/re]: “Read his lips”
–
I think she is referring to that part of the speech where he silently mouthed the words “I love you Muslims and want sire your terror children”
This country appears to be becoming more and more moronic with each passing year. I’m mapping out an exit route. The “Great Experiment” may have run its course.
[re=644244]Serolf Divad[/re]:
I think it might be worse than that. I heard some people are saying he’s a Unitarian!!!!!
Obama: “Read my lips. No new fatwas.”
Mmmm. Wuz Kim Lehman home schooled?
[re=644261]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: That could be dangerous. The Unitopians have been known to burn a question marks in peoples’ yards.
[re=644259]Toonces[/re]: Toonces, can I hitch a ride? Though, I’d prefer to drive, please.
Yes, and when Nixon went to China, it was a cynical plot to open up a multi-trillion dollar line of credit and eventually convert us all to the Buddhisms. It’s that simple, morans. Until Nixon says that was not his intent, what other conclusion could I reasonably draw?
We should also ask Kim Lehman about her failure to deny playing any role in a series of grisly rape-murders of underage children that may have happened in Iowa in the 1990s. It would be irresponsible not to speculate about her possible participation!
Well this lady works for some Catholic stem cell lab, and you know how the Catholics aren’t Xtians and they are the tool of the devil and such…
Read his lips?
I guess that “listen to his words” is too easy.
Is Kim L one of the Kims on Real Housewives of New Jersey? The one who told the Manzos that Danielle missed her mother? Traitor!
Ms. Lehman didn’t point this out, but the REAL shocker for real Americans is the the fact that Sara Palin and the 1st Dude alla time have Muslims hanging out in their back yard, smoking.
(Eh, whats that? “Moose limbs?” Oh, they’re making moose hams? Oh, OK, nevermind.)
I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but taking a step back from the “is he or isn’t he” question, shouldn’t we ask these assholes “SO WHAT IF HE IS!?!?” Being Muslim is no more or less insane than being Christian so it’s not like that would disqualify him for duty…
[re=644301]ArugulaTeleprompterz[/re]: Indeed. Being an atheist, however…
[re=644301]ArugulaTeleprompterz[/re]: Good point. They’re saying really that Obama doesn’t believe in the End Times Armageddon big war in the Middle East that was prophesized by some mystic in a feverish book that the Founding Fathers last minute included in the Bible for edginess which was really prophesying about the fall of the Roman Empire quite some time ago. Ergo, he’s not a Christian.
[re=644312]PrimlyStable[/re]: Well, between my Atheism and boatloads of random, anonymous sex I will never ever be president… And thus my dreams of world domination are dashed!
Wait, wait, is she making the case that Obama is a Muslim because his ancestors were Muslim, etc? Because I’m pretty sure my ancestors were bloody human-sacrificing pagan Celts, so does that make me a bloody pagan human-sacrificing Celt?
…I’m okay with this, actually, although the implications are pretty staggering. My god, free will means nothing! But in that case, can we really blame NObama for his muslin-loving ways?
I find it reprehensible that the Des Moines Register asked a child molester about her opinion of Obama’s faith. The story should be about her perverted endangerment of small children until she proves otherwise.
As long as you’ve got him on the phone, getting answers from the source, etc., you might as well go ahead and see if he’s got time to tell us where he was born.
So, was the whole Jeremiah Wright thing like a ruse to make Obie appear Christian (albeit a radical, honkey hating version of Christian)? I relies on the Wonkette to ‘splain this stuff to me.
Kimmy’s schedule for the week:
Monday — Hate Obama.
Tuesday — Hate Hispanics.
Wednesday — Hate Muslims.
Thursday — Hate Jews.
Friday — Hate Libruls.
Saturday — Hate son’s skinny bitch wife (a Damocrit).
Sunday — Go to church and sing about love.
[re=644328]ArugulaTeleprompterz[/re]: My kind of guy/gal.
The part that condemns him is “he personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim”. It is an act of faith among TP’ers and Repubicans that the President may not speak to muslims.
The number of retweets she has recently put up, from such luminaries as RedState, RightWingNews, OneNewsNow, Townhall, Shane Vander Hart, … I suppose we should be glad that she ONLY believes the president is a Muslin.
[re=644241]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Don’t forget massively authoritarian! You ABOUT described them all except you forgot to include black guys endorsed by the KKK, also. Yes the modern GOP has literally packaged itself in the insane shit the GOP of a generation or so ago laughed at. I knew when the John Birch Society was allowed to prominently sponsor CPAC something hilarious was coming..and this is the result. They tick down a list of minority groups to scream about, be scared of/ hyperventilate over. First it twas el ghey, then an old favorite: black people, then another old favorite: messicans and now it’s muslins. When they’re feeling sexy they just combine any of those four groups while using the king-sized dogwhistle of “liberals!” to tie it all in together. Because we know any of those afformentioned groups are plotting with liberals to destroy ‘merika and the only way to stop them is to elect absolute wingnuts, or just take their rights to vote away. Don’t worry women, when they’re done oppressing minorities you’ll get another heaping helping; the party of jeebus and gawd (but not the taliban) has an always slow burning hatred for your right to vote, too.
Wow, the Power Team looks *awesome*! Biblical Strongmen Crusading for Christ? I bet they throw great root beer keggers at those events, too.
[re=644345]DespicableDarwinistFaggot[/re]: we all know religion is an inheritable trait. Its in the genes, man. Nothing you can do about it.
In a related subject, Kim Lehman stated that she has it on good authority that Barack Obama is partial to fried chicken and watermelon.
[re=644257]JMP[/re]: If Sarah Palin was a robot, how did she get hookworms?
[re=644233]marioninnyc[/re]: Now we all get 15 MB of fame, stored in perpetuity.
[re=644261]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I think we need some research here. Baruch Obama was the first President to hold a Passover Seder at the White House- he has done it for 2 years now. Would a Unitarian do that- well, probably yes- but putting that aside, I think the President is Jewish(like me). Has he said he isn’t Jewish-I do not think so. He said he was a Christian but after all, Jesus was a Jew. I rest my case.
Its too bad we don’t have really stiff slander and libel laws in this country. I’d love to see this Mehlman hag in the slammer with some Farrakhan lovin’, Afro-Muslim, lady body-builders using her as a jump rope.
I has the Power Team come to my church when I was a kid, but no one ever bothered to explain the correlation between being a good Christian and steroid use.
[re=644267]weejee[/re]: Yes. Fear us. Fear us Unitarians and our respect for your spiritual beliefs (or lack thereof).
I think Unitarians need a Power Team. Instead of doing stupid stunts to hijack the minds of the gullible and lonely, we’ll just feed and educate poor people.
