Like Allahpundit, I am unsurprised that the context on the longer Obama Muslim admission thing indicates something different than the shorter clip:
Note that post is not a reflection on Dan. Indeed, I agree with his point that Obama’s problems in this regard are largely Obama’s own fault: the man continues to be more concerned with denying rumors about his religion than he is with explaining why those rumors shouldn’t matter in the first place. Nonetheless, this is almost certainly just Obama not being able to talk artfully without a Teleprompter. Nothing new, in other words.

PS: Also, not that I want to be mean about this or anything, but it’s kind of disingenuous for Obama to complain about being linked to the Palin smears when it’s his own finance people that are participating in them.

Thanks, Moe!
ZootSuit (Diary) Sunday, September 7th at 4:39PM EST (link)Not only am I offended by some of the comments against Obama — an that is offended not simply as a Blak person but as an American citizen — but I think the constant rehashing, reformulation and spreading such rumors as these, we on the Right are giving the Left new life. When Obama is defeated this year, we are givingthem every opportunity to say that he was defeated because of the racist attacks against him and not because of his Leftist and even Marxist policies.
Indeed, I am beginning to think that the Left may be ahead of the game and spreading the lies about Obama themselves in order to give themselves an excuse when he does lose. But even if that is the case, why should we help them by spreading the rumors ourselves?
True, the NetRoots and DailyKos crowds will always say that he was defeated by evil racism, etc. but why give them the ammunition?
Defeat Obama as the Leftist he is. That way, when he loses we all can honestly say that America has rejected his Leftism.

No matter what it's going to keep
Steph C (Diary) Sunday, September 7th at 5:28PM EST (link)coming up. We can debumk and debunk, ad infinitum. Personally, I wish they’d keep the spurious rumors to a minimum. There is plenty of really bad true stuff that isn’t getting attention because of the false stuff. It’s like chasing our tails to try and get them to stop and focus on the provable.
On an aside, I did note that Obama did a sideways slam of right leaning media outlets while ignoring the fact that there are hordes of left leaning media outlets seeding all the crap against Palin. If McCain is responsible for the right leaning media how much more so is Obama responsible for the left, considering how many of them are in the tank for him?

Can we drop the Muslim rumors?
Pawlenty12 Sunday, September 7th at 6:13PM EST (link)I listened to the full clip, and it was clearly a slip up. The context is clear.
It might sound funny to us, but this kind of crap is going to make us look desperate.
Let’s stick to the issues we have with their far left platform. We will win easily on that alone.
denying rumors about his religion.....
olsmithie (Diary) Sunday, September 7th at 10:35PM EST (link)After observing his present actions and his past history:
I don’t believe Obama practices any religion, other than the religion of liberalism and self gratification.
I do expect his proponents in the liberal media to make “muslim rumors” an issue from now until the election to try to draw attention away from the true issues, the total lack of qualifications and shallow character of this individual.

he's got bigger problems
