I wrote about another fib-filled “Obama’s a Muslim” chain email a few days ago. Conservative partisans appear bound and determined to make a drinking game out of these schlocky, moronic, pack-o-lies emails about Sen. Obama.

Take one swig for every con lie about Sen. Obama and you’ll be drunk by the fourth poorly-written sentence

Here’s another one — and this, friends, is the fallacy-based email which got the head of the entire United Church of Christ denomination to debunk it. Again I shall provide snarky retorts shining the bright light of truth [in brackets] for your drinking game enjoyment.

Make sure you designate a sober driver now…

FW: OBAMA’S CHURCH

Parts of this are true & can be documented on Truth or Fiction. ["Parts" of this are true...? More like almost none of this bullcrap is true. So why forward it?]

Obama’s middle name is not Mohammed it is Hussein. [Well, ok, his middle name actually is "Hussein". Parents are funny like that. Now that he's running as a Democrat for president, conservative ne'er-do-wells are left to ponder calling him "BO" which is funny in a Beavis and Butthead kinda way ... or calling him "Barack Hussein Obama" which is clearly pandering in a We Have Everything to Fear Including Middle Names Themselves ... The possibilities are endless, and pointless. Think of all the guys out there during WWII whose middle names, or even first names, were "Adolf". I bet that stunk.]

The following paragraphs are obviously slanted [oh really? I couldn't tell] - BUT – you do need to visit this church’s web site – EXTREMELY INTERESTNG! [Well, they do try to have a lively Sunday service for the folks who come to worship.]

OBAMA’S CHURCH

Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It’s the Trinity Church of Christ [try "Trinity United Church of Christ" -- a full-fledged congregation in good standing within the United Church of Christ denomination].

I found this interesting. Obama’s church: http://www.tucc.org/about.htm [Why, I bet that link is included to try and trick white people into thinking this church is an evil cult of black "separatist supremacist mojo maniacs", or something.]

Please read and go to this church’ s website and read what is written there. It is very alarming. [Yep, I was right about thinking this might be a ruse to trick people into thinking this normal, albeit African-American, church is an evil cult of mojo maniacs, or something. There's really nothing "alarming" about Trinity, if one cares to learn about the history of black churches and their good deeds in our fine country.]

Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U. S. [You mean this isn't about Lichtenstein?]

If you look at the first page of their website, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. [Let's see... Christians contribute offerings as an effort to help those less fortunate. The African continent is full of people suffering from poverty, disease, famine and war. Seems only natural that good Christians would indeed have a non-negotiable commitment to helping the destitute. ...Wait. This just in... Barack Obama might be ... wha? "Black"? You mean he's ... "black"?! And he's running for president?! Mercy me. What's this country coming to?!]

No where is AMERICA even mentioned. [...Except by the conservative partisans who lie about this church demanding quotas and affirmative action.] Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama’s church… B-L-A-C-K!!! [Wow! Somebody forgot to tell all the white people that attend services at this church. Oops. Or maybe this is another one of the not-true parts in this email described as "parts of this are true".]

Doesn’t look like his choice of religion has improved much over his (former?) Muslim upbringing. [OK, now we're all just confused. The other MUST READ Obama email said he still was Muslim, even though actual facts differ with that lie. Can't these anonymous email liars get their lies straight?!]

Are you aware that Obama’s middle name is Mohammed? [No. Because it's not, even though apparently conservative radio hosts wish it would be.]

Strip away his nice looks, the big smile and smooth talk and what do you get? [I dunno... A US Senator from Illinois?]

Certainly a racist [Darn, I was wrong again. Here I thought for sure he was a US Senator from Illinois], as plainly defined by the stated position of his church! [Wait, I read that webpage about the church just like this email asked me to. All I saw was a historically African-American church, as committed to its heritage, its community and its congregants as any fine church would be. There was that part about a "commitment" to Africa and African Americans... but then again even Missouri Synod Lutherans are committed to Europe. Go figure.]

And possibly a covert worshiper of the Muslim faith, even today. [I heard he actually worshipped the surf and sand. Hang Ten, Baby! What baseless rumors have you heard? Does he really secretly worship cheeseburgers?] This guy desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in a Black Africa! [Oh dear, my white friends, now they've gone and done it. We can't have "the blacks" taking over, now can we? It'd be mayhem, eh? Say, I thought kings and emperors "ruled" over their countries. Isn't a president supposed to "lead"?]

I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. [Well... it is complete and utter BS... Though by now if you've been drinking along half the bottle's probably gone, so at least it's turned into fun BS.]

This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all of our family & friends. [Is this anonymous email promoting drunken stupors?!] To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency, is really scary. [Might be scary for racist jerks, but not for most rational and honest Americans.]

Click on the link below: This is the web page for the church Barack Obama belongs to:

www.tucc.org/about.htm [Dude, we already went through this... Wouldn't it be funny if Trinity United Church of Christ changed that webpage around to show a picture of Jesus helping the poor? Wait, then the cons would just squeal that that's too "Afro-centric" a picture or something equally inane.]
